Canards dans l'animation: Je ne parle pas francais
-Wakfu, S02E14
Now that, my friends, is one smug looking duckie. As one would expect from a floating convenient censorship device. Not that he doesn't have reason to be smug...
...after all, rubber duckies get to hang out in bathtubs with teh hawt chix0rs.
Yes, he has a reason to be smug.
Interesting show, this Wakfu. Or, more correctly, interestingly animated show. From what wikipedia says, it's all Flash-based, yet it's much better than any Flash cartoon coming out of the US. To be honest, if I didn't know better I'd say it's animated the same way as any anime, just with a more cartoony look. A look that fits the tone of the series, I might add... though since I've only seen the one episode, I'm hardly an expert on the thing. A fun way to spend 20 minutes, though.
(tip o' le chapeau to Mauser for the pointer!)

Ducks In Anime:
-Hidamari Sketch x SP Ep02
I'm a firm believer in the magic of rubber duckies. Really, there's nothing a rubber duckie can't improve. I'm glad the folks at SHAFT agree with me, at least as far as HidaSketch goes.

Ducks In Anime: Yuno What It Is
-Hidamari Sketch x SP Ep01
It's been a long time since we last got to hang with the gang from the Hidamari Apartments. The arrival of the first of two Specials for the third series has fixed that, however, and with a vengeance!
Not that there's anything wrong with that... quite the contrary! It just felt a little... wrong for HidaSketch. As a visual exercise though, it was plenty good. The Special ends with the sleepover from Vol 5 of the manga, where Yuno falls asleep as soon as it starts. It's a little rushed, but still fun.
Then of course, there's Yuno's duckie. How I've missed seeing it every week! Well, there's still one more Special to go, and then the fourth season with air (date still TBA, last I checked). Plenty of duckie still to come, and I for one wouldn't have it any other way.

L to R: Nori, Nazuna, Yuno, Miyako, Hiro, Sae
The first half, where the six girls visit an art museum, is pretty much a perfect HidaSketch episode. There's humor, kindness, fun... just a group of six different personalities doing things together. If this doesn't sound like a great way to spend fifteen minutes, then the HidaSketch franchise is not for you. Those of you who are fans of the show are probably scrambling for the torrent sites right now. The second half, where the girls (minus Hiro and Sae, who are studying for college exams) visit an indoor swimming pool, isn't quite as heartwarming. Point in fact, there's a lot of fanservice.
