Miss Monochrome The Animation · review
Miss Monochrome is a short anime of 13 4-minute long episodes. Let's dive in, shall we? Story- 6/10. Not much to this story as you'd expect, as the total viewing time of the entire show is about an hour maximum. Miss Monochrome is an android whose only real motivation is to become an idol, to be able to meet Kikuko, another idol. Although the "story" was practically nonexistant, they did a decent job - I found each episode charming and laughed a fair few times at the way it was told. They also included a little backstory between Miss Monochrome and Kikuko, which I thought was a nice touch.6 may seem a little high for the story aspect considering there wasn't much of one, however I personally didn't mind the lack of it.
Art - 8/10.
Well-done, good quality animation, not much to say here as not that much actually happens. Character designs were okay, but nothing startling.
Sound - 8/10.
I really enjoyed the ED to this small series (Poker Face, by Miss Monochrome herself!). Voice acting was good and often added to the comedic moments. Miss, being an android, had a very fittingly monotone machine-sounding voice.
Character - 7/10.
7 may seem a little high as you don't really learn anything about Miss other than the fact that she is an android who wants to become an idol to meet Kikuko and she is a little naive.
However I thought she was charming and although there is little to no character development (she continues throughout the hour runtime to act naively and restlessly pursue her goal to become an idol) I found it satisfying to watch.
Also, Run-chan is amazing.
Enjoyment - 8/10.
Short and sweet. Nice little series to watch if you don't have much time, want a couple of giggles and 'awww's.
Overall - 7/10.
