Astro Note · review
Awkward, Fun, Clumsy, Yet Beautiful At The Same Time. Astro Note Giving The Most Random Cast Mixed In Together Yet Somehow Shine In Between Many Of The Slice Of Life Anime Genre. You Got An Idol, An Old Novelist, An Unemployed Dad With His Son, an Alien Princess With His Alien Dog, A Hikkikomori, And A Chef In The Same Place? It's Like The Assistant Asking The Author How Many Characters He Would Want To Create And The Answer Is YES. The variety Of The Cast And The Absurd Setup Makes It Uniquer Than Any Other Anime Out There That Usually Focused Too Much OnThe World Building/Realism While Astro note Just Came In And Straight Punch You In The Gut To Knock You Out From The Expectation Of a "Serious Anime". It's So Much Fun To See How Bird Robots Got RPGed By The Alien Princess Because The Robots Just Stole a Lunchbox. Complement That With Suprisingly Good Art Direction And Color Pallette Than Many Other "Generic Anime" Artstyle, Astro Note Had His Own Charms.
Even Though There's An Absurdity In The Setup or The Plot, Somehow The Character Interaction That Stands Out The Most. For Some Reason, It Reminds Me Of How Some The US TV Series Vibe Like How I Met Your Mother Or 2 Broke Girls, Where The Series is Memorable Not Because of The Plot Or The Setup, But The Interaction Between The Cast That Would Make The Series Shine. What Would A Hikkikomori Girl Do When Trying To Pursue Her Crush? Get Love Advice From The Neighbor Roommate That Turns Out To Be An Alien Dog DUH! And This Is Just A Small Interaction Between the Absurd Cast That's Happening In Astro Note.
Does it Have One Of The Better Stories Than Most Anime? No.
Does It Count As One Of The Great Anime? No.
But Astro Note Was Absurd, Fun, And Comfy. And Sometimes That's All You Need In Your Life.
Oh, And The Opening Is Great Too.
