A-Channel
Tohru is an introverted girl who has had one best friend for as long as she can remember. Her friend, Run-chan, is older than her and went to middle school a little sooner. When the series begins, they are finally reunited, but Tohru finds out that Run as become close to two other girls. Now Tohru is faced with a difficult decision. Become part of a larger social clique, or chase Mugi and Yuko off with a baseball bat.
This is funny and cute. It sometimes flows like a number of newspaper strip panels forming a loosely connected story. I'd say it's good for fans of K-on, Azumanga Daioh, and Charlie Brown.
Tohru is a quiet loll with a dark sense of humour. What redeems her dark streak is her obvious affection for Run (It's so obvious, the creators might be trying to bait fan fiction writers.) Tohru looks young for her actual age. Sometimes Tohru becomes depressed, thinking the the slightly older Run will eventually outgrow her. This is the closest the show...
If you liked K-On or Azumanga Daioh, you will love this...
I thoroughly enjoyed this series; it is kind of like a cross between K-On and Azumanga Daioh, except that the characters are not musicians!
The series follows the life and friendship of four high-school girls; Run, Toru, Nagi and Yuko (as seen from left to right in the cover picture). Run and Toru have been best friends since forever, and Toru thinks of Run as her big sister; Toru is one year behind the other three, and very small for her age (she is 15, and describes herself as 'scrawny'; indeed, she is so skinny, her thigh-highs regularly fall down), but she is feisty, cute as a button (she even has a 'fan club', set up without her knowledge by her classmates, who all want to take turns hugging her!), and a top student in academic terms. She also has a cute kitten called 'Carbonation' (Lit. 'Tansan'; Japanese for 'carbonic acid', used in fizzy drinks); you'll have to watch the series to find out why he is called that. Run is totally bonkers, but cute and harmless - she...
Just A Great Anime
A Channel is just a great Anime. Its hard to pin down what really makes you like, but you'll like it if you enjoy having fun. Sometimes the comedy will run dry, but it all made up with some sort of cute scene. If you like Slice-of-Life and Cute-girls-Doing-cute-things then it'd be a great buy. If your not into that kind of stuff then I says its okay if you wanna burn 6 hours watching an anime that you may be able to relate to your own high school experience.
