Windy Tales: Episode 1

With a passion for capturing feelings and life with her camera, Nao is head of the Digital Camera Club at her school. Today, she is taking pictures of clouds on the roof of her school when she notices a cat with a peculiar ability to fly (it seems). As she tries to get a better shot of the cat and his feline relatives who seem to simultaneous lift off the ground and float in the air, she falls off the roof. Surprisingly, she has no injuries whatsoever due to the manipulation of the wind by her math teacher who happened to see her falling.

Like the title suggests, the anime is a really calm, cute and gentile. The animation and artwork itself is unlike any I've seen. Although it seems somewhat sloppy and sketchy, it really emphasizes the warm simplicity of their lives.

Welcome to the NHK

Satou Tatsuhiro is a 22-year-old college drop out. As someone who is Not in Employment, Education, or Training (NEET) and a hikikomori (one who is socially withdrawn), he stays in his apartment and has to constantly listen to the PuruPuru Purin anime song of his next door neighbor, thinking the world is conspiring against him and driving him into this hikikomori state. One day he meets Misaki Nakahara who invites him to her project to cure him of his hikikomori ways.

I've only watched three episodes of this anime, it's cute with its talking refrigerators and weird monsters. A comedy that any otaku can enjoy, but certainly not a masterpiece.
