… has had one of the best opening three episodes ever.<\/p>\n

So far this show has perfected the moe slice-of-life genre of “cute girls do cute things” (CGDCT). While pioneers of the genre (Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, K-ON) featured cute girls doing either boring-as-fuck or purposely cutesy things,\u00a0Sora yori mo Tooi Basho<\/em> makes what happens interesting by itself. The actions, rather than the characters, are cute. Look above at Hinata and Mari’s stupid-looking grins as Shirase panics.<\/p>\n

What about Mari’s “sexy pose”?<\/p>\n

It’s with good reason I had to look up the characters’ names while writing this post. I don’t remember them, and moeification\/sexualization is not the point here. So far this show has succeeded because it hasn’t wasted time deliberately trying to make waifu material (a la Mio of K-ON), as shown in the\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>low number of favorites for the four main characters on MyAnimeList: 20, 9, 8, and 5 favorites out of over 25,000 people watching the series.<\/p>\n

These past three episodes have been fantastic, but with the gang all together, I’m a little worried about the future. As long as the series can stay away from overused, stereotypical scenarios and dialogue I can predict minutes in advance, it should easily break into my top 20<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
