Copihan

Copihan is a funny, surreal little slice of life comedy with a variety of wildly different episodes. They vary in quality and comedic value, but there are plenty of good laughs to be had here, especially in regards to how it explores many of the same stories from different angles across its brief runtime. Also interesting to see its predictions for the future, taking place in 2034. Namely, it predicts that physical money will cease to be used, and that phones will be used for homework in some capacity. Of the episodes on offer, I'd say that episode 2 is most likely my favorite, as ... it sets up the school radio show gag for later, and has an interesting multimedia section that was totally unexpected.

This brings me to the art, which I believe is the strongest aspect of Copihan. First off, it is immediately apparent that Kei, best known for Hatsune Miku, handled the character designs here, thus giving the whole show this archetypal 2000s look, which I enjoy immensely, even if it did air in 2011. The art style and character designs are fun and pair well with the comedy aspect.

The sound is good, with strong, characteristic voice work and a lighthearted soundtrack.

The characters are all great, even if they're not that complex. Of them, my favorite is Hiromi, that girl with the puppet, both for her compelling design and her interplay with the puppet. Overall, Copihan is a fun little dose of the 2000s, and the special episode takes all of this anime's best aspects and elevates them further in terms of technical quality. This is an easy anime to recommend as a quick and nostalgic watch.

So, this is a 5 minutes anime with 7 episodes, so I made my review of course based on it. Why is this important? because if this was a 24 minutes/episode anime it would be horrible and not even watchable.

Story: There is none. It starts with panties and end with panties. You'll have in each episode one new character that will be introduced, is not BAD, is a 5 minute anime after all, so you'll see short stores of their daily lifes and a little about their personalities but nothing that you'll love, but for a 5 minutes is ok I think.

Art: The art is ... good, colorful but nothing remarkable... You can find better art in other 3 or 5 minutes long anime so the lenght of the episodes is no excuse

Sound: The opening is annoying and ONE MINUTE long, I heard it once and jumped it in the next 6 episodes. It has some really good voice actors but I couldn't pay much attention to it because I was finding some character so annoying...

Characters: You'll have about 7 characters, I liked some more than others of course and the anime has no depth so not much to talk about here

Enjoyment: I had nothng to do, I like one of the voice actors so why not watching, ok, about 30 minutes of my day, it's seen, I'll never see it again or be like "OMG YOU MUST SEE THIS", I'll probably remember it as "that anime with 5 minute long with some characters that reminded vocaloid"

Overall: 5

Why 5?
Because is a 5 minutes anime, I stopped for 30 minutes, watched all of it, enjoyed some characters and it was a good thing to do since I had nothing to do in the momment. It could be better but I watched some really really worst things in 5 minutes that were a big waste of time, this one is whatchable and maybe you'll even laugh a little

I'm not even in the mood to try to be funny with this review. Why? Cause I just finished watching an episode of Copihan.

Story - There is none.

Art - Art is average at times but gets sucky occasionally.

Sound - I like the first few seconds of the opening, then I get turned off.

Character - You have better chances of drowning in a kiddie pool than try to get into these shallow characters. Reoccurring characters are rare, nothing in this department.

... Enjoyment - The only good thing about this is that it's only 5 minutes long.

Overall - The part I liked best was when it ended.

Most honest review I've done in a while.
