Honey & Clover & Yuki

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.
