How to become Ordinary

'SHOSHIMIN: How to become Ordinary is a refreshing series, with around ten episodes so far.

Sorry for the banality, but this series is very similar to Hyouka in its tone, mysterious, mystical atmosphere and relatively light-hearted approach to events.

It's really relaxing and makes you smile and think.

The graphics, animation and chara-design are magnificent.

The soundtrack fits the atmosphere perfectly.

There's a lot of potential here, and the series can really take a turn for the worse, like Yuki's menacing aura in episode 3. You feel that the characters could play in a completely different register if the author wanted them to. But that's not the point of this anime.

A very nice series for the moment. To be followed...
