This show is a slice of life at school and the main character the short black hair girl looks up to the blonde haired and does her best scare the boys who hit on her and she also name called the other girls who are meant be friends just cute girl going on about their way in school. I beginning of the show neat have a POV of our protagonist and I really liked the artistic style of the opening but apparently this is what the studio who worked on this story does frequently from what I can see. Blonde Haired girls voice is really cute. :)

I enjoyed the "light" comedy, even though i don't find it unique...
It follows a more traditional slice-of-life formula, and some plot (to not say all) developments are predictable. However, enjoyment often comes from the charming character interactions, lighthearted humor, and the overall feel-good atmosphere rather than unexpected twists.
The art style is bright, colorful, and generally fitting for its genre. It complements the lighthearted nature of the series :3
While the characters are not exceptionally complex, they are well-rounded in the context of a comedy. Each character has distinct personality traits, quirks, and dynamics that contribute to the overall comedic and "heartwarming" tone of the series.
Enjoyable, but not new.

I like watching these generic slice of life bullshit shows where it is just highschool girls doing silly bullshit cause every once and a while you can find something actually pretty enjoyable, this was not very good. the only reason this show took me like 8 months to finish is cause I watched like half of it in one day cause a friend of mine bet me $5 if I could finish it up in a few days after I told him how much I didn't like this show. It probably would have taken me well over a year to get through it all if I didn't get 5 smackeroos out of it.
the thing that makes these shows actually good are the characters, if the high school girls in your high school girls show aren't silly and funny and quirked up and retarded then I don't think it's very good. see the thing about the characters…

So I just finished watching and I gotta say I really loved it, and going by mal scores it’s super underrated and also one of the biggest differences in scores I’ve given since I gave it a 9 and it’s not even at a 7. I don’t expect it to be that highly rated but I would of thought a gem like this would be at like a 7.5 at least
It’s not hilarious but it’s funny but also touching and had me smiling more than I was laughing, it’s got a great cast of characters and they play off each other brilliantly, they aren’t all super unique but they’re well done. It also has a nice cast of side characters who really fit the show and make its better experience. Its mostly comedy but slightly and just enough minor drama to make it more interesting and to keep you more invested.
Also every episode feel…

A-channel is a breath of fresh air. After watching a variety of shows with a wide range of themes and differing levels of seriousness it was a wonder to experience such a well handled show that was capable of remaining consistent in tone and atmosphere without demanding anything of me as a viewer.
While there is a lack of plot in this series, this is no issue. In fact, I believe it will be the thing that pulls many in to the show. By lacking an overarching plot, the concept of living in the moment, which is fundamental to the slice of life genre, is captured in an easily consumable and highly enjoyable manner. With each episode being relatively self contained, every episode tries to immerse you in the lives of the characters, and I think the rest of the details within the series help with…

A-channel A-channel deals with the daily life of 4 high school friends. The anime has a little bit of slice of life and a lot of comedy, and in addition, some musical scenes.
1 - Story [5/10] - History is certainly not a point to focus on A-channel, the reason is that there is nothing very developed from beginning to end, but believe me, there are other strengths.
2 - Art [7/10] - A-channel had almost no problems related to animation, these types of anime do not require much, however, this anime has a pleasant quality, or better, above average.
3 - Sound [7/10] - As I said before, this anime has some music scenes, but I can't say that it is a strong point of the anime, I found it very basic, as if it were some complement. Now the opening no longer says the same, these animes never prese…

Honestly, this anime was , decent, nothing great nothing bad it did take me an episode or two to get into but once you're used to the type of humour they use you'll be able to watch it fine. Would not recommend for anyone who hasn't watched over 100+ animes (as there are many better).
For the bad points of this anime, it would mostly be the humour wasn't good enough I quote enjoyed its type if dumb humour but it's not for everyone.
For good points, it's an anime you don't need to be invested in no desire to binge-watch due to this you can watch whilst working or just doing something else these types of anime aren't that common but this ticks that box.
Overall it's a 5 I cannit say its a 'Bad' anime but I can't say it is a 'good' one either.

Welcome to another Robert's Too Late Reviews! Today we're working from the subbed version. Let me say right off, if explosions or fights or violence is your cup of tea, then move on, you will find nothing to like here. If you do like slice-of-life shows, cute girls doing cute things, and don't mind the stereotypical episode format, you might just have a good time! Let's see if we should change the channel.
Story: 6
It's hard to really rank a slice-of-life show for story since most of it is usually episodic events happening about everyday life, and there's not usually an overarching theme. A-Channel fits this to a tee. We have the beach episode, the Christmas episode, some antics at school episodes, the same old thing as we've all seen a million times. That is not to say that the series d…

Keep in mind that this is solely my opinion and my opinion only. Also, if I don't make sense in some instances while writing this, my bad, I'll get you some cola to compensate.
Referring to MAL's ratings, 7 is good, and 7 is what I'm satisfied with. A-Channel was pretty good. Some ups and downs but its quite a fine anime. The loli girls are flourishing with personalities and looks, especially Yuuko. Again, let us make this review short and non-eye straining.
A-Channel's basis is literally in the view of four girls (Run, Tooru, Yuuko, and Nagisa) and their daily lives together, with Tooru being quite a protective one. All I managed to grab from this was a slice of life, comedy vibe. The story didn't resonate with me that much, but it wasn't bad at all.
The art in A-Channel is quite diffe…

It was abit fun, watching the behavior of those four cute girls. Every episode feels unique by me for every scenes they want, to visualize the activity of those fours. The uniqueness of each character is so thick felt in each episode, and i think they did this in nice pace and good flow of story. Not too rushed tho, and it show more or less as a fun watch. Unfortunately, I still feel a little lacking in peeling the other side of some characters.
Like Yuuko and Nagi-chan, they had fewer portions of the story then from Tooru and of course from the innocent girls, Run-cwhan. I somehow feels sad looking at 11 and 12 episodes, like Toorus feel, the time has really tick so fast like burry every good thing appear in this show. But, Run and the others never changed, so i expect more funny thing…

Okay, so I don't really watch slice of life series that much because the ones I have watched always felt like the same kind of story and were pretty boring. This one is different. It's a very wholesome series with some great comedy elements, good characters and the music is upbeat and cute. It doesn't necessarily have a story line but is entertaining enough watching the main group of go about their experiences during and outside of high school. The supporting cast is great too and has some good moments too. I absolutely love the art style of this series and definitely defines the words moé and kawaii. It also has a very catchy upbeat opening which has forever made a spot on my karaoke playlist. XD

A Channel is as if someone took bits and pieces from different sol series and slapped them together to call it their own.
I went in with low expectations and the opening scene met that with some seriously bad CG. The art style isn't particularly pleasing. Some of the animation can look choppy.
Every episode has an insert song which is usually just played over stills and they usually feel out of place. While I'm on sound, I'd like to know who decided playing hokey pokey for background music was a good idea.
There isn't a great story, so you rely on characters and comedy to drive your show. The comedy is seriously lacking and I couldn't crack a grin at the antics.
And for characters unfortunately we have one kind of half fleshed out dandere-ish character surrounded by the rest of the bits…

Just another slice-of-life anime..?
A-Channel really intrigues me. It's funny how a show like this can have absolutely no defining story, but still be entertaining. As with many shows like this (K-On!, Lucky Star) there seems to be a big trend around the "four girls going about their high school lives." And While this could get old, I honestly think that if you implement good characters, even when there's no defining story, you can really make something worth the while. A-Channel doesn't really have a "story" but I can definitely say that it has some pretty good moments that made me laugh.
You know after watching so many anime you start to see how art-styles in anime can fluctuate, and how it can be more or less the same. This one is definitely similar to a lot of anime in the same tier…

It's easy to dismiss A Channel as another Cute-Girls-Doing-Cute-Things moe fest, at least upon initial viewing, but the show runs much deeper than that.
Focusing primarily on the relationship between Run, a lovable idiot, and Tooru, a girl one year her junior who chaperones her through life, A channel builds to a crescendo as Tooru begins to fear losing Run forever as they move on in life, only to realize their relationship is stronger than the school grade that separate them.
Cleverly mirroring the Run / Tooru dichotomy is relationship between two teachers, and two other first year students, demonstrating that their relationship is truely timeless.

There were some fun moments, to be sure, but on the whole I felt like someone took a stock-standard slice-of-life template, but forgot to actually fill it with anything. If you wrote a few-sentence synopsis of this whole series without any names, it could be confused with any other slice-of-life, since there's nothing in this one that makes it different. It felt so much like just a blank template that I actually started thinking about how you could kind of view 25% of all anime as being the same characters stuck in some horrible purgatory shaped like a Tokyo high school, where every 3 years they get a slightly different body and have to start over again. And I usually *like* slice-of-life...
I liked the character designs, and there were some good ideas with the characters' backgrounds/per…

After binge watching, and still making only a dent in the sickeningly long One Piece, this was a very short, refreshing thing that I would most certainly watch again. It was sweet, and like a breath of fresh air for me.
Story: While there wasn't really much of a plot or conflict anywhere in the story (the biggest thing that comes to mind is when Tooru is feeling stressed about her friends graduating without her near the end), I really enjoyed just smiling at the sweet parts every now and then and the subtle humor that came with each of the characters' individual, unique personalities.
Art: The art wasn't really anything magnificent or out of the ordinary, but I was impressed with the character art, specifically. When I first started watching this anime, I immediately noticed how cute To…

The high school slice-of-life has become incredibly popular within the last decade. The easily digestible stories and simple character archetypes are easy works for companies to do, since less has to be invested monetarily for SoL shows. I often attribute the explosion in popularity with "Azumanga Daioh", which is considered by many to be the gold standard for SoL, myself included. It paved the way for other popular shows of its ilk like "Lucky Star", "Hidamari Sketch", and of course the ever beloved "K-On!".
Because of just how common the genre is these days, very few shows get to stick out from the crowd, and are often forgotten, no matter what their quality. And "A Channel" is unfortunately one of those shows, often being overlooked and overshadowed by other SoL anime. And that's a sha…

A-Channel is a very good series in my opinion. It reminded me of one of my favorite series, Acchi Kocchi, for various reasons.
As you would expect, it's a regular slice of life comedy high school series whose main cast is mainly made out of girls. So the plot is more or less what you'd expect. However, unlike series like Lucky Star and others, A-Channel's ending is a bit more... rewarding, so to say. Not to say that Lucky Star's wasn't rewarding, it's just that it's ending wasn't as 'heavy' than A-Channel's on an emotional standpoint.
The characters have nice personalities, and none of them were annoying in the least, which some animes sometimes end up making by mistake, though not in the comedy ones as far as I know. But I bring this up because of one of the characters. She has a person…

To me, Slice of Life began to feel extremely repetitive recently. I normally enjoy them quite a bit, but I was coming across quite the heavy amount of repetition in content over the past few months. All of that changed when I finally gave A Channel a shot after glancing at it from a distance for quite the plentiful amount of months.
My first thought was that the comedy, straight off the bat, proved to be HIGHLY enjoyable. The character designs, well, it's anime. Unless it's from Akira Toriyama or a few others, most of it will look generally the same. That being said, two of the four female protagonists have surprisingly original designs and visual comedy that is highly enjoyable. I usually love to let the reader know of the anime without going too much into detail, but I will say this muc…

A Channel is simply a channel featuring the daily lives of four fairly-ordinary girls. This is a fairly ordinary slice-of-life story (strongly contrasting with Nichijou, which is still ongoing as of this review). In terms of animation, this can be likened to a mix of K-on and Lucky Star. In terms of plot and characters, probably more likened to Minami Ke. All in all, it's a fairly average show, though I don't know why it is tagged as seinen, if anything, there are yuri undertones.
This is a straight slice of life series. There is no significant focus on romance, action, mystery, etc. In fact, if you're looking for something with just a continuous plot you should look elsewhere. If you're looking to kill time watching moe/yuri girls interact then this is your series. Take this review with…
