25. Kirino Mosaic

Kiniro Mosaic is a slice of life, moe, cute girls doing cute things, style anime. Actually, cute is an understatement. This anime emits cute from everything it does. The characters, comedy, music, art, etc. Everything is cute.

Things start out with Shino visiting Alice in England while they are in what I assume to be elementary school. Essentially for the entire episode they can't understand each other at all and it creates a very odd and funny setting. The ending to the first episode is pretty much comedy gold. Then a time skip where Alice is not a transfer student in Japan, and that's where the rest of the show takes place.

The characters support each other pretty well. A lot of them are not even that memorable in the long run when you compare them to characters from other slice of life shows like K-On or Lucky Star, but they fit into the overly cute feel of the show very well. Even Shino's gimmick (which is really liking Blonde hair), seems so stupid but they manage to somehow fit it into like a lot of jokes in the show.

The cast of girls consist of 5 mains. Each of them with a distinct personality. There's obviously almost zero character development, that's not important here. I mean it's a slice of life. Honestly I like Karen (I'm pretty sure she'd be the most popular one). The second season also adds a new teacher who adds a fun new dynamic to it.

The animation is simple but I feel like it fits the show. A lot of the more noticable things are moe faces. The studio, art style, etc are from the same studio that did A-Channel, but that's really where the similarities end. The show is very bright and colorful. It adds to the fun feeling the show has going for it and gave me the kind of feeling that the anime was kind of popping out of the screen.

The sound is pretty decent. A lot of the music is really not that notable, aside from the last episode where they pretty much had an entire soundtrack, but the OP and ED are enjoyable (and cute). The voice acting is pretty good too. Again... it's cute. Two of the characers are supposed to be native English speakers and still can't pronounce things that great, but I can forgive that because there really is not a show that has set a precedent of perfect English voice acting.

Also, the final episode (of S1) was incredible.

Do you like blonde hair? You should watch this show.
