Morita-san wa Mukuchi ends

Somewhat amazingly, Quiet Morita-san was the only anime that I finished in the 2011 Autumn season (although I am going to complete The Idolmaster later). The convenience of 3-minute episode format FTW.

I feel that 3-minute size constrains the form too much. Even 6-minute would open a door for radical improvement. I say that because Azumanga had 5-minute segments on the average, and so did Lucky Star. The latter had a widely varying segment size, and things like the ghost visit would not fit at all.

BTW, another long-running short-form is Adventures of Mini-Goddess.

Liked: Yes
Rewatch: No

Notes:

  • 06 I am surprised that every two-bit character is given a name, even fodder boys.
  • 07 Hana of low standards (will date "a man who's not living with his parents").
  • 12 He seriously recast the ring? But why? It's probably possible to buy two for the cost of the recast.
  • 13 No, not even Chihiro has a boyfriend. Good grief.
  • 15 Home Eco classes rule.
  • 22 What has happened to her long message? It was a delusional dream?

UPDATE: Peter S. twittered: "I was pleasantly surprised by the 1/2 hour OVA. The 3-minute bits strung together gave it a nice rhythm."
