Hanoka

葉ノ香

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).

Characters:

Hanoka – Blue/whitish hair (2nd row, 3rd column screenshot)
Yuuri Kaminoza – brown-haired guy (3rd row, 3rd column)
Mika Kisaragi – blonde girl (4th row, 2nd column)
Kaori Harusaki – purple-haired girl with the cigarette (5th row, 1st column)

Wow. I wanted to check out the anime when I first heard it; but after seeing those captures; I must agree with you: the animation IS crappy. I mean honestly, I’m in no position to judge since I haven’t even seen the first episode, but I’ve seen amateurs do a better job w/ a flash animation. I’ve made a couple in my day…

And maybe it’s just me, but the character designs are just, for lack of a better word: bad. Again, this is just my initial impression at first glance; but if the content is only about the mindblowing 2 and a half minutes like you say, the chances of me checking out this anime are probably zilch.
