Hidamari Sketch: Difference between revisions

* [[Curtains Match the Window]] - With the exception of the Principal who is [[Eyes Always Shut]], all characters are like that: Yuno is brown, Miyako is yellow, Sae is blue, Hiro is pink, Yoshinoya is green, and the landlady is brown, Chika is light purple, Natsume is blue-green, Nori is blue gray and Nazuna is blond.

* [[Disturbed Doves]] - More of the ''disturbing'' kind, actually.

* [[Ear Cleaning]] - When Hiro, Miyako, and Yuno walk in on Sae's room and find her asleep on the floor with a note on the progress of the story she's writing, Hiro kneels down and puts Sae's head on her lap. Yuno, charmed at [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|Hiro and Sae]]'s intimacy, runs over and offers Hiro an ear pick, to Hiro's confusion.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]] - The two new tenants of the Hidamari Apartments, Nori and Nazuna, were de-[[Faceless Masses]]-ized among other admission exam takers in the ''365'' OVA.

* [[Gonk]]: The Principal.

* [[Goofy Print Underwear]] - Yuno was deeply embarrassed when a locker room prank exposed her kitten-print underwear. To be fair, she doesn't wear those every day, but still...

** When Miyako pranks Sae by putting stuffed animals in her futon to make it look like a stranger is in there, Sae, who thought the "stranger" must be a foreigner as the shoes were put next to the futon, asks, "Who are you?!" when she first sees it. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

** To prepare for a make-up exam, Miyako has Yuno name almost everything she sees in English. Yuno continues the habit long after she takes (and passes) the test. During lunch, Miyako asks Yuno to name items which don't have a direct English translation.

** "oh god yoshinoya is hot"

** The [[Fan Sub|fansubs]] for the first season extended this by adding memetic comments from a [[Image Boards|familiar source]] throughout.

** Colored backgrounds patterned with simple two-dimensional shapes and especially a [[media:pattern.jpg|half-tone relief pattern]] are commonly used in place of realistic backgrounds or solid colors. They're used when the show is illustrating something abstractly. In addition, objects being talked about or used by a character are often abruptly shown on one of these backgrounds.

** Photographs of real objects are spliced in seamlessly with animated objects. For example, Yuno's alarm clock and teddy bear are both depicted using photographs.

* [[School Play]] - Yuno is the stage technician for one in the [[School Festival]], and Miyako, realistically, the ''horse''. In that same episode, Yuno walks in on Hiro and Sae practicing for a play, ending up in the above-mentioned [[Not What It Looks Like]] moment.

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]] - Subverted when Yuno runs into two flustered girls in the bamboo bushes behind the school, who tell Yuno not to tell anyone as they run off; Yuno calls out to them asking if they're going out, which they quickly and strongly deny (most likely just visiting a statuette there). Miyako also at one point thinks that Yuno has a crush on a female sempai and encourages her to "follow her true feelings". And back in Sae's junior high days...

'''Miyako''': Whoa! What a bold statement!! }}

** Natsume is painfully [[Tsundere]] for Sae (see below) but can't catch a break, being the losing corner of a [[Love Triangle]]. Played up to the hilt in episode 12 of x365 when Sae joins Natsume for lunch, with the latter first getting combative before quieting down. We even get a few [[Male Gaze]] shots in that episode; when Natsume watches Sae enter the cafeteria (focusing on her hips), watching her eat (focusing on her lips), and again as Sae walks away... The flowers, the spring out of her hair, and the [[Luminescent Blush]] seem to put it straight into [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]] territory. The very last episode has her praying at a shrine to become more honest with her feelings. And {{spoiler|guess who wrote that passionate fan letter that Sae got}}?

* [[Shout Out/Anime and Manga|Shout Out]]

** Episode one shows a crossword puzzle on screen [[Unreadably Fast Text|for a few seconds.]] If you [http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4714/hidamariep1crosswordpuztq3.jpg solve it], the answers are the names of a bunch of other popular anime.

Final Answer: Hidamari }}

*** And Miyako won that puzzle.

* [[Super-Deformed]] - At the drop of a hat. Its kind of superdeformation was even coined ''wideface''.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]

'''Nori''': It- it's not like I keep it because I think it's cute or anything! }}

* [[Tanabata]] - The episode of x365 described in [[Anime and Manga/Heartwarming|Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] takes place on Tanabata; after Sae and Hiro make up, the girls spend the afternoon and evening decorating a bamboo the landlady planted in the garden, and hanging their wishes on it.

* [[Twelve-Episode Anime]] - All three seasons now.

* [[Two-Teacher School]] - Sort of averted. There are only two named teachers, Yoshinoya and Mashiko, but there are a lot of unnamed teachers teaching other subjects—Yoshinoya and Mashiko appreantly only teach studio arts.

* [[Unreadably Fast Text]] (Miyako's crossword puzzle, along with the proverbs displayed on the first episode of the second season.)

* [[Visible Sigh]]
