Honey & Clover & Yuki
Posted on December 31st, 2005
The last couple days I've had the opening song to 'Honey & Clover' stuck in my head. It's Dramatic [mp3], by Yuki, a super chibi J-Pop girl with Bjork-ish touches - I caught one of her vids on AZN TV (um, no i dont watch that! *grin*) and it was super weird. Kind of blue man group mixed with j-pop style and all smothered in a good dose of anime mentality. More info here. The 1st 1/2 Season End song is good also Waltz, by Suneohair. OMG - save me, I'm admitting to liking J-Pop stuff....
Honey and Clover is a good anime, with a large focus on character development, the interactions of normal kids and the people around them. Nothing super-mecha-action-harem-fanservice about it. It centers around art students at a college, and as such has some interesting tidbits about life as a designer, the trials of a genius artist, and the difficulties of art students. It has very nice watercolory animation, and a decent amount of fun, crazy animated segs.

[...] A couple months ago, I posted about Yuki, who did a song for the anime Honey and Clover. While digging around on YouTube, I found a couple of her videos - and they are all quite weird. Much inspired by Bjork it seems, but still with her own funky style and originality. Her voice is quite irritating, but somehow it’s okay. Maybe I’m just weird… Here is ‘Joy’ - also check out Melancholista, Fugainaiya, and Sentimental Journey. [...]
