Mahjong Stuff in Pon No Michi Episode 7 - Pai Means Many Things
I wanted to make absolutely sure this went up today, as today is Pi Day (3/14). It's possible that all the delays in my life have led up to this moment.
This time is the requisite beach episode and it's weirdly half-cooked. It’s very clear the characters’ bodies are the focus of the animation, but this show is also directed in a relatively natural way, like a K-On or a Yurucamp, so it doesn’t actually center them... while clearly wanting to. The animation itself is weirdly shabby–this ain't no Kyoto Animation – so no particular charm ever really comes across.
This piece is going up a little off-schedule but I wanted to make absolutely sure it went up today, as today is Pi Day (3/14). It's possible that all the delays in my life have led up to this moment.
