A pretty average show to say the least, but definitely one of the more disappointing anime I've watched. I feel like they did in fact try to deliver this show to make it sound good, but in the end, they did a pretty mediocre job to the say the least.
First off, the intro. Although I do love the silly, random and cute opening about eating crabs and it is really catchy to say the least, my biggest problem with it is that it takes up a good chunk of the episode, espeically when it comes to tv shorts like this show. I don't think it's a bad idea to have an intro in a tv short kinda show, but when it takes up a good chunk of an episode, it's kinda a problem. But at least it doesn't take forever.
Second, the characters' lack of growth or entertainment. Although I do know that these are five mi…

Its so boring. The characters are bland theres no story to speak of the comedy is ass what is there to say i hated it it sucked fucking ass. I hate cute girls doing cute things and this is an especially bad case. Its just a slice of life of these 3 girls the problem is All the characters our one note stereotypes the comedy is as unfunny as ever even the opening is bad. The only saving grace is that the entire show is only 30 minutes. You might like it if it's your thing but for me its ass.

This anime was very stupid. I mean that positively!
A series of 3-minute funny shorts about three girls, this anime accomplishes what it sets out to be (silly, fun, and easy-to-watch) very well.
The animation was nice, fairly smooth, and the artstyle has a cute and fun feeling that matches the series nicely. The girls designs were nothing unique, but I didn't mind--they were easy to distinguish and suited their personalities.
The voice acting was notably good too, feeling very natural and pleasant to listen to, which was a nice bonus!
If you just watched a depressing anime, or are feeling low, I reccomending watching Aiura! Its a fun little mood-boosting anime, with a surprisingly sweet final episode to round things off with a nice warm feeling as well.

This one is lots of fun. The complete lack of a plot or narrative other than "girls are friends" doesn't become a problem because of the short runtime (all 12 episodes in total are about as long as 2 regular episodes of TV anime), and the show is funny and densely packed with jokes since it doesn't have a moment to spare. It even makes the punchlines land better in some cases ("brevity is the soul of wit", and all that).
The show is also gorgeous. Without the intense schedule demands of a full series, director Ryosuke Nakamura (Grimgar) directs and storyboards the entire series himself, which lends an added cohesiveness to the visuals from episode to episode. There's nothing flashy to animate in this series, so it doesn't always jump out at you, but the character animation is consistently…

"Ah... chabashira." The first line of this anime couldn't better represent what is about to come. For those who don't know, chabashira is when tea stalk floats upright in the cup after pouring tea and is considered a good luck charm.
As it suggests this show is about "nothing," but a very pleasant nothing. Its about the moments when life just feels pleasant, just like a completely "meaningless" good luck charm that just feels nice. Its a slice of life show that does not put heavy emphasis on the comedy but instead it focuses in the mood.
The animation is impressive for a short anime. While the characters don't move a lot, they are always drawn with lots of detail and are even sometimes cleverly framed. The lack of movement doesn't mean that the animation is lazy, nor that it relies only…

Aiura is a cute little anime that looks incredible and is an overall joy to watch, even if there's not much to it. Beginning with the story, there really isn't one. It's a very mundane slice of life plot, and at 3 minutes there's even less substance than usual. Typically that's not a problem, but I would still like a little more to happen here. Regardless, it is pretty funny and manages to make pretty good use of the 3 minutes it has each episode. The humor is very much aimed towards a Japanese audience, and some things may be lost on your average western audience. This is especially true for the bizarre crab-themed intro. So, apparently Aiura means crab, and sounds like 'i-ura', which sounds like an apple product, hence why Steve Jobs is so heavily present in the intro.
Moving on to the…

Story:
In short 4-minute episodes, we look into the lives of three female students.The story shows ordinary life, school and friendship.
Personally, I was sorry that the anime was also short, so you can't make any demands on the characters. The story will make you laugh at times and maybe even remind you of your school days. But otherwise the story is not very imaginative.
Soundtrack:
I didn't like the opening song at all, but I liked the ending song.
Characters:
They are quite simple, actually we don't learn much about them during the entire anime
which will likely be due to the length of the episodes. Enjoyment/Viewing experience:
A pretty average anime that doesn't take much time to watch.

The subgenre of anime "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things" has gotten a bit of a bad reputation over the years...and some of it is for good reason. Most anime companies see it as an excuse to market moe girls who act younger and dumber than regular high schoolers do. While anime has always been a tool used for advertising at some point, there are just as many anime that prove you don't have to be soulless in doing so. Unfortunately, Aiura is one of the worst CGDCT anime I've ever seen. It's literally about three girls—Ayuko, Kanaka, and Saki—who just go to school, hang out, have pointless, cringey conversations that devolve into weird nonsense, and make Kanaka into the butt of their jokes. That's it. There is literally nothing to this anime at all.
None of the characters are memorable or likeab…

Aiura is one of the most boring anime about "Cute girls doing absolutely nothing" that I have ever seen.
There is not much history as such, they are just girls doing everyday things. This anime pretends to be "funny" when in reality the only thing it achieves is being boring and cringe. Characters are characterized by just one or two archetypal things
In terms of animation and music it's ok.
There really is not much more I can say about this anime, it is one of the many, I prefer azumanga daioh much better (another anime of girls doing nothing that at least sometimes makes me laugh)

The story is awful there is no plot and no jokes, but the animation is top tier and characters are good enough to give it a fair rating. There is nothing but fan service in this anime and one of the sexiest anime i seen in all the anime I watch. The girls body proportions are relatively normal but they know how to show their "ass"ets. It makes one feel like a pervert for watching because some episode they spent the whole episode just showing their legs and thighs; they laying on bed showing their legs, they eating camera under the table showing their legs. In the last multiple scenes showing their butts, they could give other ecchi a run for their money. Feel gross reviewing this anime oh well i have to be honest.

Aiura is show that embodies the idea of a warm cup of tea on a sunny day, it feels good and warm in your chest and although there isn't a lot going on its just enough to keep you entertained and happy, its simple, toasty and something I can see myself recommending new and old anime fans alike.
There are jokes, there are cute moments between characters, there’s an absurd amount of charm but it hits you right where it matters and before you know you’ll be finished the series and dearly missing it, I just wish there were more episodes, and I'm sure you guys will too.

TLDR below. Thanks for reading in advance.
There's not a lot to say about short anime, it's obvious why, and so, I have no real opening with Aiura. But it made me think a little about how good school comedy can be, especially something like this of short length.
Aiura's narrative is fairly simple, if the KV didn't give it away, then I will tell you now that Aiura is based on a trio of high school girls just cruising through life in a relaxed and funny way. Everything comes under enjoyment, what I will say with the story however is that Aiura does seem to pay attention to its surroundings, understanding that people grow and stuff, so they need to prepare for times like that, which you will see here, it is done, like everything else is here, relaxed and fun. Nothing really bad, and too muc…

Short review for a short show. It's a comfy, short, cute, cheerful watch.
The show makes do with what they have and they make it nice.
Its a really typical nichijou (daily life) anime although its not only typical on the anime department but also in real life.
Props to its opening though, its really cheerful and catchy.
It is recommended to any audience. Anybody should find this show decent and appealing although not to the point of being someones "favorite" or "best" show. Sometimes you just want to watch something light am I right?
The music has more screentime than the episode itself. heck an episode is literally 6/10th music and 4/10th actual episodes which is why I'm gonna give this an overall rating of
6/10

What a short series! Not much to say, so let's get right into the anime basics.
Story; Your typical slice of life anime! You follow a group of girls (Kanaka, Saki and Ayuko) in their everyday life. You get to watch how they first meet, their daily lives at school and home life! Super short (only twelve episodes and each one is four minutes of less) and sweet; no complaints coming from me about this story. Art; After looking up the manga, I'd say from a quick glance this anime looks like the original panels... plus, LIDENFILMS can never do wrong. Sound; The reason I wanted to watch this was because of the opening (it makes me think of my boyfriend playing OSU) and I still love the song, the ED was sweet as well but not to my liking. Characters; I love the simple introductions, the weird si…

So i started watching this because of the OP i found in a rhythm game. The ironic thing about the song all about crabs, is that the show has nothing to do with it. I think that's kinda funny. Good song. I was pretty surprised to see the shortness of the show. The episodes where super short, and there where very few of them. So I watched them in about 20 minutes, one sitting. I really like this show because of its simplicity, and the art was also great.
My only problem with the show is that it felt tooo short. I think the show would have worked as a full 20 min episodes slice of life anime. But i guess that's how it stands out from the rest.
I still like this anime and give it 7/10

It was like 1 am when I watched this with my friends and imma be real with y’all, I didn’t understand a damn thing. Like everytime I blinked the episode would be over and I would learn nothing. I didn’t even know those characters' names till like episode 10. The only thing I was really paying attention was the thighs and legs cuz they’re like always on the screen so because of that I give this show a 10. Thanks to the creators for giving me such good drawn thighs to look at
Story:10
There is literally no story in this show the girls literally just go to school and hang out or go eat something. They real life became friends on accident. But anyway this all means nothing if you just spend the whole episode looking at their thighs, that’s the REAL story. And of course it’s an automatic 10.…

Aiura is an extremely short watch.
Episodes are 4 minutes in length, but the actual length of the content in the episodes is 2 minutes due to the 1 minue bumpers for the OP and ED songs, making the total watch time should you skip those less than half an hour.
There isn't a story to mention, Aiura is quite literally a collection of animated shorts depicting the characters interacting. Usually accompanied by slapstick humor or characters delivering lines in a deadpan way.
The characters meet and become friends. Then the clips of shorts begin.
The art isn't trying to look good, but there's always something endearing about drawn animation with imperfect lines. The backgrounds and characters are both drawn in this style, and while it isn't visually appealing, it's a nice down to basics appro…

Aiura delivers on what it promises, providing a comedic, slice-of-life look at the lives of three high-school aged girls in short, digestible segments.
The jokes are full of biting sarcasm and wit, a welcome deferral from the bombastic, and oftentimes over-the-top comedic style so commonplace in anime. Beautiful watercolor backdrops bring a breath of fresh air to what would otherwise be a tired, and overused setting for a show.
Despite the short run time of each episode, the writers bring depth and clarity to each characters personality, and define them well within the show. Catchy opening and closing tracks are the perfect compliment to a fun, and adorable show that can be enjoyed in its entirety over a single Sunday afternoon.

Story(6/10):Not much to say since this is a short anime.It's about 3 school
girls that live their everyday life, engaging in sometimes weird dialogues and
making things sound strange.They also talk about their everyday life for
example in what did you do style.
Art(7/10):
The art is common but it looks good.It has some CG in it.
Sound(6/10):
not much to say here the sounds were okay. Character(6/10):
Amaya, Kanaka is energetic and has a positive attitude
and get's weird ideas all the time.Iwasawa, Saki has a
more negative attitude and dislikes Amaya, Kanaka and is
ignoring her most of the time / not taking her serious.
Uehara, Ayuko is just trying to get along with the others
not really taking the initiative but cares what others say.
Enjoyment(6/10):
it's okay for a short anime.you fe…

It is hard to gauge a rating for such a short series. Aiura is a set of 12 episodes spanning 3 minutes each. It is set in high school and focuses on three female students as they become friends through a fairly regular set of events. The show is great for some quick, light-hearted fun/comedy and can scratch that itch when you're keen on watching some slice of life. However, there isn't much depth to the show, as one would expect having a 36 minute run time. Hence, it is unlikely that Aiura will leave a lasting impression on you. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the show is bad either. The production quality is just as good as any other 12-26 episode series, which can especially be seen in the voices for the three main leads.
For anyone who has watched shows like this before, this may…
