Anne-Happy

As I am new to making reviews, please be gentle (might be some spoilers XP) Of course, their is another Moe anime in this season, but what caught my eye. The story and plot is which that caught my eye. The story is about the five girls who go to school in a class called the Happy Class. This class for the people for the unlucky and the purpose of this class is to become, well happy. The story is different from what I have seen from the other SOL anime. The ending was also very satisfying :). I felt the art was a good assetto this. Although, if you are bothered by chibi characters, well there is a lot of them here. I'm not that bothered by them but why did I grade the animation so high in this. Well the animation consists of bright colors in the most important scenes. I felt this animation was really pretty and I was glad to see sometimes that the characters looked different with different colors. The openings to moe animes are usually upbeat or very cute. Now, this anime is different with a funky opening which gives me the feels of happiness. The ending is really good as well, the opening and ending fit this anime really well. Now now, the characters did fit in the anime but I guess I wasn't really satisfied you could say... there is your average tsundere, kuudere, glasses, derdere and a weird person you could say. I did not hate them though, just a little disappointed you could say. I really did enjoy this anime, seeing a different kind of style to anime is very cool and I think there should be more animes like this. Overall I give this a 7 but the anime is very good anyways. This is a good anime if you're expecting a good kind of moe anime, so just give it a try :D

As the title implies, Anne Happy♪ is a bundle of happiness that can bring a smile to anyone. The story was something that caught me by surprise since the summaries I read prior to the show's airing was pretty vague. In this case, the surprise was a good thing because I came to loving it. The show just gets wackier with each episode and that's what makes it great. I believe the show wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for the characters. This series would be considered what the anime community calls "moe blob", which basically means a show with the most adorable characters. AnneHappy is definitely one of those. Normally with this type of show, the characters don't get any major developments and usually stay within their specific personality. However, that's not much of an issue when it comes to these as you end up liking the character for who they are. As I started watching, the first thing right away that caught my attention was the animation. Everything was consistent, from the movement to the character models, but what intrigued me was the look/style to it. There are lots of vibrant colors mixing together making it look like a cover of a coloring book. At one point, I began realizing that it looked similar to the series Baka and Test, which turns out to be the same director. There obviously isn't anything to grand about Anne Happy, but what made me enjoy it was all the lovable characters, the beautiful aesthetic to it, and the over-the-top comedy that ensues. It was so lighthearted that I could not hate it.

Story: 1/10 The story only fits anime with a schoolgirl theme/setting. Any other anime, it wouldn't work. So basically, it's unoriginal. Art: 6/10 The art was good for the most part. It's just the right amount of brightness, which is key to a schoolgirl/moe anime and the girls are cute. But the fact that the main characters are the only people with FACES is lazy. I mean, really?? They couldn't take the time to at least put faces on the other students in the class?? Unbelievable! Sound: 1/10 Awful and forgettable. I hated the opening and ending songs and the music they use in the episodes just sounds so simpleand retarded. Character: 1/10 This is 1 of the few anime I've seen in which I've hated ALL of the main characters and I've been watching anime for 5 years. You know an anime is bad when you hate the characters. Hibari is considered the main character, but we get little to no backstory on her! There are hints, but of course, they're too lazy to go into detail just like with the art. Also, her liking the construction sign is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. They basically shove it in our face that Hanako is unlucky. Every episode, something bad happens to her. We get it: she's unlucky! You don't have to remind us every single damn episode! Botan was so annoying with her constant injuries, Hibiki is a HORRIBLE tsundere, and Ren is kind of like the female version of a bland shoujo male main character. That's the #1 problem with this anime: they gave each character 1 or 2 personality traits and made it a running gag in which they showed it in each episode. I get that they're unlucky, so that's the main reason why, but they should've figured that at some point, it's going to get repetitive, which will eventually make the anime boring and unejoyable to watch. Enjoyment: 1/10 I got absolutely no enjoyment out of watching this anime. Final score: 2/10 They did everything that you're NOT supposed to do in a schoolgirl/moe anime. Lazy art, annoying characters, and unenjoyable to watch. The story itself is pointless. The teacher gives them assignments to do so they can find happiness and if they fail, they get a punishment. The main characters always fail the assignments or end up in last place, but there's always a loophole, so the punishment doesn't end up being that bad. In that case, what's the point of teaching them happiness if she lets them off the hook all the time?? Don't watch this anime. It's bad. Period.

First I want to restate that this is not my got to genre for anime (that being mecha) but I have enjoyed a few school girl comedies (YuruYuri & Love Lab). So when I read the premise for this show I thought I give it shot. It was worth it. It's funny, cheerful and bright. The characters are adorable because they try so hard despite their individual "conditions" The show can come across as repetitive, but that's what makes it so fun. You the jokes are coming so it never gets old. The fact that they all know these things befall them yet they goout and face the day with a smile and hope in their hearts. My favourite character was Botan because no matter what she was doing you just know she going to get hurt. It's her running gag. Hanako was just as amusing because she would just find herself in these random life or death scenarios adding constant drama and change. My second favourite was Ren because despite all her good luck she has the misfortune of being friends with Hibiki. Hibiki was kind of annoying at first, but once you realize (like Ren) she just that way it's okay. Hibiki inevitably gets lost and it never gets old. All the characters are great, let me just sum it up there. I do want to mention how Punch Mind Happiness is an addictive op song. There was nothing about this anime I didn't like, I can not praise it enough. I hereby nominate it for anime of the year!
