Midori and Tsubame share a burning passion for animation, with the former’s talent for landscapes and backgrounds being mirrored by the latter’s ability to capture human form in her drawings. When Midori and her childhood friend, Kanamori Sayaka, help model and fellow high school student Misuzaki Tsubame out of an obligation she has, a friendship forms. Finding solace and adventure in drawing unique and intricate landscapes, Midori is always buried deep within the pages of her sketchbook. Still, it feels like a bit of a stretch of a rating.Asakusa Midori is a young girl who has always had her attention captivated by the world of animation. It's not mediocre, so a bit stretched 6/10 because Tomo's voice is perfection (and they didn't turn her into brut klutz, just slightly thick-ish idiot). Was this to be your first romcom show ever, I would rather advise to watch something else, but not sure what actually since too many shows are just pretty much same these days. It is enjoyable show to a degree, but like I said, you need to just be very ok with how unoriginal and tired the genre is overall. Problems and resolutions characters are experiencing makes this series a bit retro, and if not for gaming handheld and wireless ps controllers, one could tell me that action took place in late 80s or earliest 90s and I would not have a reason to not believe them. Tomo is a girl! surely is light hearted and silly show, many probably know trough "rawr X3 uwu" voice over the manga panels meme. It was uncanny and certainly, made the finale episode less rewarding.īackground art was good but few shots were overused, most likely due to budget cuts. It bothered me a lot.Īnd not only Jun, but in the finale episode, both him and Tomo looked more like 20-40 year olds in few scenes rather than teens. Troughtough the series Jun goes from thin boy to lean or even bulky middle aged man within few scenes, and fashion choices of mostly polo shirts really aged him weirdly. Weakest parts were music, very safe and sounding like it was taken from dozen other shows, and quality of animation. They overdid a bit Carol and her mother, I understand it was conscious decision to push the trope and exploit it, but it wasn't over the top, and not really parodic. Personally, her screaming is on par with Hina Kino as Honda Hanako from Asobi Asobase, and there were few scenes I kept on rewinding to just listen to that beautiful, husky yelling in character. Strongest part of the series is voice work of Rie Takahashi as Tomo. It does not serve a purpose, there was no build up, and there is no reward. The worst part is pointless drama at the finale. It does drag a bit in the finally though. If it were not 13 episode series, it would suffer a lot, but as a reasonably short series, few things can be looked over. There's beach, clothes shopping and clothes shopping for a total makeover, needles exposition and backstory flashbacks, lots of deus ex and out of character turns of events, just to push the story to redo the sins of filling the show with checklist items and fillers, and again. Adding how quality drops between episodes 4 and 12, with a huge bump in some scenes, makes it harder to swallow. Like in most high school rom coms, pacing and avoid progression to check all the tropes of the trope list is getting painful. Later on hilarity ensues as Gundou plays with socially inadept Tomo, and she is so thick, she takes it as helping, because Tomo is a girl! but also: very bad at reading people. You know, the regular and normal interaction of normal teenagers around the world. Show starts with Tomo confessing to Jun, and Jun, an average teenage boy, totally thinking a girl confessing to him is a declaration of mutual, ever male bond friendship. girls, some hoodlums, and carbon copy mothers of main cast, plus young, less feisty Heihachii as Tomo's father. Supporting characters are Tomo's best friend, a machiavellian sociopath flat goth-loli-like Gundou, cute airhead, but actually cunning emotionally closed imported blondie bimbo Carol, her love interest and cousin (sweethomealabama.mp3) Kousuke, who is girlish, blonde weakling, and Tatsumi - a happy-go-lucky pushover to fill the gaps, and is hinted And they know each other since childhood. Whole story and gag source is that titular girl is brutish, karate tomboy, and her love interest, Jun, a childhood neighbor, is also thick, sporty, karate bloke. Tomo is a girl! is light hearted, simple and comedic romance high school story. Boy oh boy, do I like some campy romance? Yes I do!
