You know know it's about to be good when the video is a hour long

my reasoning for watching hidamari sketch was the expanding webm

Even the Hidamari Sketch X Death Note doujin is surprisingly great.

Apologies to those who don't care for the longer stuff. I had a lot to say about the series and just wanted to get it all out in one video, so I hope it's enjoyable all the way through.

Nazuna's VA isn't in a lot of stuff, but she's always best voice.

"Yunocchi" This anime is Great both of its CGDCT and Iyashikei. Shaft really did a good job on this anime

Now this is a WIDE video

Your videos are always so high effort and deserve so much more attention

The use of IRL object pictures in Hidamari sketch make my nueron activate alot and kept thinking it's kind of shitpost for them to slap a still PNG of something for the character to interact

God, Miyako is just the absolute fucking best.

Yuno is the best character i've seen ever

Hidamari Sketch convinced me that slice of life was the best anime genre, I went from not really getting the appeal to understanding it very well, sometimes you just need an easy peaceful watch that reminds you that there are good things in this world, especially when your an adult, like a warm bath, shows like this can wash away any bad vibes you went into them with

I honestly can't understand how not only this video, but this entire channel is so underappreciated. I found your Yotsuba video a few months ago and since then, you've become one of the few channels that make me excited thinking about what you could upload next. It's not because of the topics, or the great editing, but because of *you*. I honestly do not care a bit about anime, Vietnam, thumb movies, or Pink Floyd, but despite that I've watched all your videos on those topics multiple times over. Passionate, personality rich channels are so rare that I started to forget how much I loved those types of creators. Your videos remind me a lot of classic Mumkey videos, not because of the jokes, but because of how it feels like hanging out with someone, talking about what makes them passionate. (Maybe 2017 Cybershell is a more apt comparison). It's people like you that'll carry on people like Mumkey's style of content, if not in law, then in spirit, if that makes sense. It's so nice to see people deliberately include things to kneecap their videos, like copyrighted music and uncensored swears because that's what they want to make, that's what they find funny, that's *them*. If bread is art, then undoubtedly so are your videos. Your channel is more art than others 50 times your subscriber count, because it's your pure vision. No matter what you upload next, be it on some anime I've never heard of or on Sonic lore, as long as you're passionate about it, I'm sure it'll be great, and I'll sure as heck be there to watch it.

finished this show today, its really a masterpiece.

Hidamari sketch is my comfort anime/manga

welp I guess it's time for me to rewatch hidamari sketch

Good video. Would love to see you make one on Girl's Last Tour

absolute fever dream energy, I love it already

this video made me smile almost as much as the show does

I've been meaning to sum up my current attitude towards life in a wide thread, but this seems like a slightly better place for my rambling. I'm currently in the process of turning myself into Miya. Not in some weird "I want to be a girl!" way, but her attitude and the strengths she brings to life. I read philosophy so I can find wisdom relating to the sunny side of life, I lift and run so I have plenty of energy, and I generally lead the way in terms of group planning and I always try to make things as fun for the people I'm with as possible (not in a sad clown way [anymore]). And also not to say that I'm trying to run away from the cruelties of life, but that just like Miya, I try to not let them get me or the people in my life down too much.

I acquired season 1 of this show on bluray from some free blind box I got during some Rightstuff sale last year. This video convinced me to finally watch it. Good stuff. Miyako is indeed best girl.

I love those wide girls.

very nice video ✘ ˵ ╹ ◡ ╹˶ ✘

You inspired me to watch this show! Already starting on season 2 after two days!

I first watched this show when i was only starting out my 1st year in middle school, which is already over 10 years already, this is my first OFFICIAL anime i watched with nobody telling me about it, and go in without having any knowledge on anime at all, and I watched in subs too.

Manimebros,we got too cocky

I feel the same about nearly everything you said about this show. What a wonderful, healing, peaceful and wholesome show. Also Miyako a best.

I LOVE HIDAMARI SKETCH SO MUCH AHHHH

First time ever I see a video over 1 hour on KZfaq. Amazing, you captured everything that makes Hidamari one of the greatest animes ever made. Although I missed that you didn't take a minute to thank the powerful EDs made by marble, it was a ride and so much stuff I remembered from Yunocchi and friends that I thank you for this. Subscribed.

I hope this video gets to a billion views someday

One of the best things the algorithm has recommended me. Hidamari is GOATed.

51:05 This line is brilliant.

This video makes me so happy! Back in April I wrote a wordpress article on my feelings on Hidamari Sketch and I really hope more people find out about it.

My MAL Plan to Watch list is getting awfully long

First time watcher, but how could I not watch a love letter to one of my favourite anime for an hour? Your analysis is spot on and entertaining, your humour is great, your editing looks like it took forever, and the way you get across the experience of watching this masterpiece is extremely well done. I'm also one of those people that considers Hidamari Sketch as a top tier slice of life series. I've watched it several times, and it's great seeing it get the respect it deserves. Thank you!

Incredible video as always!!

Still amazed how youre still at 10k your videos deserve much more clout

After watching one of your videos, I absolutely loved how you made them. Thank you for truly appreciating these manga and animes.

here for this

Man, I keep coming back here. This video is just too good. Heck, this entire channel really.

Thank you, Pico. Very well done. I was already interested in Hidamari before, but now you've allowed me to already have an appreciation of the show before I even watch the first episode.

Wow I just randomly stumbled upon this and your channel. This is great stuff!

FANTASTIC! AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL! I loved this video, we really need more content on hidamari sketch from people. Thank you for allowing me to be able to re-experience this great show. also Yoshinoya's VA did a cover of smells like teen spirit which is weirdly really good

This is so cute!! I can't believe I'd never heard of this!! Thank you so much for the video! Keep it up

i finished this anime 2 weeks ago then i got feeling that something about it's simplicity is what makes it special to the point i wanna watch it again until i saw your video now . thank you for your review about that anime you truly summed up this feel. 😊👍

An all-time favorite for us anime watchers who work in graphic design. Also Jimotti-san banzai.

I watched this video over a year. Everytime I completed a season of Hidamari, I come here and watch the relevant section. Now I return after graduation 😢 it's been a hella wholesome journey folks

this video is a work of art.

Man, I love your videos! even my cat loves it.🐶

Just finished the whole anime today and fkin love it. Im totally agree that this anime can only make you feel good. Accept for a few last episode lol it makes my eye sweaty. Definitely one of my favourite alongside with azumanga daioh, nichijou and yotsubato(manga)

Nice to see the KZfaq algorithm actually work and recommend good stuff like this for once. As someone who's watched S1 and loved it, this was a nice watch

As someone with aspergers i can say that this show is now one of my favorite SOL animes

Just wanted to drop a comment saying that your videos are pretty great man, keep it up.

Another banger video as always

10/10 for mentioning the music It's absolutely perfect

I’m probably going to watch this because of your video. Thanks

i was surprised to see a video essay on this anime since to most it just seems like a regular slice of life anime. but wow was i happy to finish this one! you captured exactly how i feel about it, and i was worried i was thinking too much about it xd. i owe this series my life as it gotten me out of a 4 month long depressive episode and changed my view on things. started adapting my way in thinking to be more like yunocchis or miyakos. im always so happy to see people talk about it :) (ive also made a plan to collect all the merch when im financially stable.. i'll have a room in my house dedicated to it all)

Randomly shows school days as one of the best animes 💀

Slice of Life is my buffer anime in between the shoujo romance drama that makes me depressed and cry.

Great video, I love hidamari sketch!

Great video, thanks for making me feel like shit by telling me my hobbies are functionally equivalent to drugs and that I should kill myself before the moe irrevocably disfigures my soul. This time around there's less of the specific flavor of dry humor Demolition D is known for in your own comedy. I think your genuine voice is coming out much more strongly. Now make the exact same video with the exact same themes, but with Mondonka.

Bro you are the GOAT

That trumpet man clip, *chefs kiss*

your vid essays are great

My favorite show. Miyako's also my fav character, I love how goofy she is.

The champion returns!

cant finish the whole video because i still havent seen the last ep to keep them in my life forever

My favorite iyashikei. The only anime that came even slightly close to that undisputed number 1 spot was Yuru Camp which now sits comfortably at number 2. Also, Miyako for president!

I just finished this anime a few weeks ago, and I think after this video I like the anime even more.

this video is an opus, thank you

Great video man. I had my own thoughts on the wides before watching, and while I agree with a lot, mainly the characters and tonal descriptions, I never really viewed the show like this before. Nazuna is cuter than generic feMC moe blob Yuno/10

this deserves more attention

WIDE PRIDE WORLD WIDE

Just found your channel and damn your vids are fucking amazing

This is amazing Hope you can do Yuru Camp as well

I just immediately want to say before the video goes on; I have to say this guy has got good taste in finding Miyako to be the best.

This is a masterpiece for aesthetics.

I waited till I finish Hidamari Sketch to watch this video and I just finished the series today and here are my two cents when I concluded the series. I posted these thoughts before watching your videos. So I finally finished Hidamari Sketch after being exposed to the legendary Black and Yellow Sketch in which Hidamari Sketch and Whiz Khalifa had a mash up over a decade ago. I finally got around to watching this beautiful series. It is a beautiful slice of life CGDCT which put me in a very chill mood every time I head to bed. The characters were cute, charming, and amazing. Yuno is our protagonist and served as the stand in for the audience on how to navigate the world of Hidamari Sketch. She’s a little unsure of herself, but she’s trying her best and she is actually more powerful than she thought she currently is. Miyako is the ever cheerful girl who is in the same grade with her and you just feel grateful that you have a friend like that on her side. Sae is the father like figure of the group and Hiro is very motherly. Nozuna is the cute little sister and Nori is the confident older sister. I love all the characters in the show from Yoshinoya sensei to Chika Sae’s sister to Natsume to The principal to The landlady to the minor characters like the school nurse and the teacher that shares the room with Yoshinoya sensei. The music was great and I love all the OP and ED. The first season OP is S tier and all the rest of the OP and ED are on that A tier. The background music was beautiful and chill and even the little sound such as Yoshinoya’s footstep squeak was a very nice touch. I love the patterns of each episode. Yuno wakes up in the morning at the beginning of the episode and ends the day when she takes a bath as her nightly ritual. There is a time and place for everything and this anime really hammers it home of “there is a time and place for everything.” I actually love the routine of the show and even though it’s routine the story kept moving forward and you see the characters develop slowly, but surely. The animation was pushing the limits of the medium because it really played with the editing and created its own animation language on how to tell the story from bumper cuts with the joke for example to using graphic design to depict action. It has it’s own unique animation style although jarring at first you will get used to it once you get to the flow of it. I watched Puella Magica Madoka first and did not realized that the people who created that show started off with Hidamari Sketch. I can really see the influence of the animation/character style from Hidamari Sketch. I thought Madoka pushed the limits of animation to the point of expressionism when they depicted the enemy (the witches) and Hidamari Sketch laid the ground work for that kind of expressionism in animation. Without Hidamari Sketch, Madoka would not have that unique look and I love both series. Albeit Madoka puts a lot of stress on the viewers because of the emotional content. I hate that this ride has ended, but I am so glad that I went on this journey. TOP 5 CGDCT anime. It will not crack my TOP 3, but this series is at that solid 5.

Man.. i really love Hiro character, she's my favorite in the series

I love your content and recommendations, keep up the great work

ill get to watching this thing someday. there are too many things in this world

wide faces = wide smiles

Great video as always! Out of curiosity, have you seen Sketchbook: Full Colors and GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class? They could both be considered sort-of "sister series" to Hidamari. (GA in particular is a personal favorite of mine, as you can see by my profile picture).

Your cat is so cute

Hidamari Sketch Characters do get their character traits adapted to become Madoka Magica Characters, Yuno and Madoka are literally the same person, because Madoka's Designs are based on Yuno's, this is all confirmed by both Ume Aoki and Gen Urobuchi, and was originally planned that Kana Asumi will be the voice for Madoka, and then Miyako' designs adapted to Mami Tomoe's designs, along with Hiro's personality, Nazuna's designs and character traits eventually made many of the main characters in Magia Record:Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Gaiden, Iroha and Ui Tamaki had almost the same hairstyle as Nazuna, with Iroha being just Nazuna with much longer hair, and Sana Futaba and Kaede Akino had the personality of Nazuna, Nori and Sayaka are essentially the same person, and nearly thought that Sayaka had the same VA as Nori, and of course Matsuri's character designs possibly the base design for Rena Minami, despite Matsuri being NOT a tsundere, but instead a lovey dovey deredere girl. Hidamari Sketch is also the series that introduced me into Madoka Magica.

love Hidamari Sketch, on of my favourite slice of life anime. also have you seen shoujo shuumatsu ryokou/Girls last tour? its very well made slice of life anime

This Video is a Work of Art

GENKI GIRL SUPREMACY

hidamari sketch is good. it's good to see a video about how it's good. i have a very smart critique about it though: not only is it good, but it is also nice.

I like ace combat

interesting. will try this after i finish Azumanga.

and here i was thinking there were only 12 eps

Hidamari skecht está bien bonito

They are W I D E.

The anachronic order does have an... interesting effect on the first episode. It seems like they spend a lot of the intro and some of the main story recapping what to them happened yesterday, but which we wouldn't see until episode 13 of x365. I don't really have a consistent "type" that makes a character my favorite, but I reckon Miyako is mine for Hidamari Sketch. I'm trying to remember if the orange juice in that scene was originally alcoholic in the manga. It definitely was at the welcome party. I suppose we'll always wonder who they would have chosen for Matsuri's voice... Speaking of voices, there's a fun little voice actor joke in the sick episode. While Yuno is sleeping, Miyako carves an apple so it has a face, and ears on the top. Yuno, correctly guessing that it was Miyako's doing, asks her about it, but Miyako denies it. Yuno jokes that "perhaps a fairy crafted it." Of course, Miyako's voice actress, Kaori Mizuhashi, has indeed voiced fairies: most notably Navi from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but also Ciela from Phantom Hourglass, and Pepper from A Little Snow Fairy Sugar.

i can relate to these girls a lot because no one besides my best friend can withstand the presence of someone as annoying as me. same with him. if not the fact we have eachother we would die.....

the pinnacle of anime characters obsessed with weight loss is Hiro.

slice of life, slice of life, slice of life!

Do a 10 hour video on Yuyushiki next. it is the Yuru Yuri of Hidamari Sketch
