All I could think of was "Why isn't Miku in this? Why is there a knockoff Miku?" I really don't see the difference between the two as characters, and I honestly find that Miku or any other voice synthesis would have been better than a human in hard autotune acting as an android. How did there even get to be so much Monochrome stuff during this time? They even make a Miku reference when they see a box of leeks! At that point, I started feeling like they were aware of the similarities, whether it was on purpose or not.
I'm also not a big fan on Monochrome's design, particularly the torso part, which looks fairly uncomfortable.
The four-minute comedy episodes range from fine to painfully average, though the plot of the first episode irks me. This anime is also quite similar to Idolls, though…

Hatsune Miku who? It's Miss Monochrome now.
Maybe it's my inexperience with idol shows, but Monochrome has them all beat. Why follow 4-9 girl's, when you can focus on one girls climb to the top?
Story: 6/10
What story, what plot? This has none. Pick any episode and watch it, it's pretty much standalone once you know the three main characters. Also, I'm sure you have four minutes to spare somewhere.
Art: 5/10
Pretty standard art, but the ending sequence got me hooked onto this show like an illegal substance. If you choose to only watch one episode, just skip right to the end and enjoy the music video. Bonus points for the 3d motion capture thing they got going on.
Sound: 8/10
Love the auto tune sounding music she sings. Not much more to say there.
Ladies and gents, Hatsune Miku, the…

No point in writing too much so I'm going to cut to the chase.
Miss Monochrome The Animation is just a cute short about a *kuudere* singer wanting to be a widely famous idol due to her inspiration. I did say it was cute. Also, the keyword is specifically "kuudere".
The story focuses on Miss Monochrome in random antics for the most part, after everything is done with the initial episode, Miss Monochrome just tries fun and dumb ways to get her name out there to the public. There is a bit of backstory though, so it isn't all just the same thing. But the lack of diversity is something you might want to take in. To be fair, I don't know what you could be expecting from something with 3 mins per episode. The characters here are one-dimensional, but I see no problem with this, again, 3 mins per…

Anime with only 4 minutes per episode? Meh, that must be pretty bad, since it has no time to hook you up, right? These were my thoughts when I saw Miss Monochrome. Little did I know, I was about to find out I was gravely mistaken. Again, never judge a book by it's cover.
This anime can be descried in one word: wholesome.
Story 9/10
So the premise of the story is about Miss Monochrome trying to become the top idol. Now, i want to be clear on something, I avoid idol themed anime since the story always tends to be generic and the main focus of the show is always on the dancing and singing and the key point should always be one dimensional pretty boys or pretty girls having fun. I don't say there is anything wrong with that but I personally find it generic and boring.There are a lot of 12…

Miss Monochrome is a 4 minute episode anime filled with comedy, randomness and slice of life.
I really liked this series but that is only because of Miss Monochrome :3 She is a android with a somewhat childish robot view upon the world, so many misunderstandings and so on happens a lot indeed! which gives a special kind of comedy to it.
Even though there are somewhat lots of randomness in this one then it is still one continued plotline throughout the series which makes it not too random ^^ which it is something that I like.
The main problem of the series is you really have to like Miss Monochrome because she is the main factor for nearly everything in the series so if you don´t like her, then there is not much to like about this anime :)

Sometimes, when reality is too much for us, we want to watch something that'll take us away from it for a while, whether its funny comedy or cute antics of cute characters. Cartoons have been an escape from reality since its first inception. But sometimes, this isn't always a good thing. I personally like serious stories, but even I like something short and sweet once in a while. One such short and sweet anime is the recent Miss Monochrome anime series that's recently taken Japan by storm. What's this? An idol anime that's not ridiculously stupid or melodramatic? Awesome! Buuuuut all of the episodes are four minutes long, and there's a lot in this anime that really doesn't make sense, so I'm not gonna lie, it is VERY flawed.
An android named Miss Monochrome has lived on Earth for years an…

Often times anime that have very short episode lengths get dismissed by the community as automatically lifeless and humorless shows with little to no world-building and characterization of characters. With Miss Monochrome having four minute episodes with one minute dedicated to the ending song, one would probably assume this about this show.
Though many of the complaints may be justified, Miss Monochrome is surprisingly great for what it is and was enjoyable the whole way through.
To simplify the plot, Miss Monochrome is an android that aspires to be a Japanese idol with a manager, gigs, etc. On her way to her eventual goal, she often gets herself into random situations to get exposure for herself, get jobs, and meet up with people to allow her pursuit of becoming an idol.
The plot is…

If I had to describe this anime, it would be weird and random, but funny at the same time. I have no idea what I just watched, but I like it! For a 4 minute show, Miss Monochrome will definitely leave you saying, “what just happened” by the end of each episode. If you didn’t know already, Miss Monochrome is a slice of life anime.
Story: (8/10)
The story begins with our main character, Miss Monochrome, aspiring to become a popular idol like Kikuko on T.V. and her caretaker, Mana, asks to be her manager. She becomes her manager and requests 19.3 billion yen as the first thing to do as an idol. Our poor main character, Miss Monochrome, believes her and gives her all her money, leaving her broke, homeless, and stranded out on the streets to search for a new manager. Upon hoping to find one,…

Miss Monochrome is a short anime of 13 4-minute long episodes. Let's dive in, shall we?
Story- 6/10.
Not much to this story as you'd expect, as the total viewing time of the entire show is about an hour maximum.
Miss Monochrome is an android whose only real motivation is to become an idol, to be able to meet Kikuko, another idol.
Although the "story" was practically nonexistant, they did a decent job - I found each episode charming and laughed a fair few times at the way it was told. They also included a little backstory between Miss Monochrome and Kikuko, which I thought was a nice touch. 6 may seem a little high for the story aspect considering there wasn't much of one, however I personally didn't mind the lack of it.
Art - 8/10.
Well-done, good quality animation, not much to say here…

Miss Monochrome is an anime with each episode being 4 minutes long. It is about an idol, Miss Monochrome trying to become a well-known singer in Japan. With 4 minutes each episode including the 1 minute long ED you might be wondering if it's worth it. It is definitely worth watching if you have a little time to spare and you are just looking for a laugh. Each episode will make you laugh at least once, it's guaranteed.
Story: 7
It's another story about an aspiring idol looking to make it big in Japan. Only difference being that Miss Monochrome is an android. Like most androids in anime, she is incapable of emotion most of the time. This does not hinder her charm, in fact it further enhances it. The lack of reactions during gags makes the humor that much more abundant. There is in fact a b…
