Impressions:

How sad … I can actually bare to watch Hanoka, even though it is the worst Anime I’ve ever seen…

Impressions:

Hmm… everything is crap – except the music. I like the OP! Gotta get it… Well, I really don’t have much more to say. I only do this series to make it look like I blog more lol. Besides, it’s only 4 minutes long. That’s not that much time wasted. And it’s not like the series is so bad it’s unbearable. From now on, I guess the only thing here will be screenies. Dunno why anyone would want to see such crap character design, but oh well. Taking screenshots is something I can do no matter how bad a series gets. If only Hanoka was a ‘normal’ series that was not built from flash, not so short and with better animation (as well as the character design!) That’d probably be pretty good…

Release: 08/2006
Episodes: 12
Genre: Sci-fi
OP: “Dual Love on the Planet ~Hanoka~�? by Nogawa Sakura
ED: None

Impressions:

This Anime has a running time of approximately four minutes each episode (or so I assume, as this episode went for four minutes and five seconds) and is made entirely using flash, like the flash player I have on my music page! It really does look like a flash animation; extremely cra- I mean, interesting! I’m seriously wondering if the producers made the animation so bad on purpose. If they really wanted to make it look good, why not just do it the normal way? Budget issues? On the planet Tokinea, a war is waging between the humans and giant, blue golem-like things called Star Races. Hanoka is the main character who is the ultimate weapon against the giants – the ‘Demon God’. The OP is of normal length – a minute and a half. There is no ED or preview, so the actual length of the show is about two and a half minutes. Let’s see, if there was a one and a half minute ED, thirty second preview and thirty second recap, there’d be… five whole seconds for each episode! Anyway, yes I will continue to watch this series. I really don’t care how crap it is or how crap it’ll become. It’s only four minutes long; just something to kill time when you’re bored… (Note: You’d think I’d write a summary for an episode that’s only three minutes long, but my Japanese is far too bad).
