It starts quite slowly on the first season, but as each season es, the animation gets better, jokes get funnier and overall, it turns into one of the best CGDCT shows out there, and one love letter for those that love creating art.
For a series with such a simple premise, the characters are likeable and surprisingly well-written.

A group of friends (girls mainly) attending an Art High School.
There is no real plot line to the story. It's all about the events of the characters' everyday lives as they attend art school together.
Daily life, comedy, and art are the main focus of the series.

Both deal with school daily life, friendship, comedy, etc. But instead, with girls, and obviously, cuter overall. If you liked this show, give Hidamari Sketch a try, many similarities and you might end on liking it as well.

This was actually one of the first Shaft works that I was introduced to (before Bakemonogatari and Madoka,etc.) when Shaft entered its more "arty" style and one of the reasons that I was attracted to it.
It has a peaceful, lighthearted tone and if you like character driven slice of life comedies, you might want to pick this one up.

Overall
Hidamari Sketch is an enjoyable slice-of-life anime about four friends who attend an art school right across the street from their apartment. Featuring some of the strangest directing work (Shinbo Akiyuki: Pani Poni Dash, Negima!?, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) along with the usual SHAFT-style animation, you'll find comfort in these cute but strongly-bonded characters and their daily quirks and habits.
Animation
Get ready for spontaneous scene switches, frames, photographs, and images. Sometimes it's better to feature moving blocks of parallel lines to indicate running up stairs than to actually draw the feet, which is why the animation is vibrant at it's best and smooth at it's strangest. This is pretty much the best work Shinbo Akiyuki has done (I haven't watched PPD and don't plan to especially with all the obscure blackboard chalk that almost no casual viewer will get, Negima!? sucked, and SZS has yet to finish it's run) and it works very well with such calm material. The only bad episode with budgeting issues is episode 10.
Sound
Well done aspects in every subcategory: OP fits the theme, ED is soothing (I always look forward to it), BGM is subtle, and the cast is amazing. Yuno always sounds clueless, Miyako hyper, Hiro concerned, and Sae desperate. Enthusiastic performances.
Story
Apparently they tried some episode shuffling via Suzumiya Haruhi just 3 seasons ago. It didn't work. Whereas Haruhi actually had a main story (Melancholy I through VI) with canon filler stories in between, Hidamari Sketch is simply school life, with the focus being a random day of every month of the year. This garners rewatch value, but I'm already lost by the time they hit episode 3. They did, however, connected the earlier episodes with the later ones, so it's all good.
The story itself is nice slice-of-life, with the focus being more on character interactions than the specific events. It drags and gets boring at times, but if you like this style you'll enjoy it.
Character
Characters are cute with distinct personalities yet they somehow bond together during their course of their stay at the apartment. Their interactions makes this show. The side characters are just as crazy (Yoshinoya-sensei is hot).
Value
An enjoyable slice-of-life show. Has rewatch value if you get confused. Otherwise, call the P***s Engine Mechanic if your nutbladder breaks.

introvert (1)Introverts are people whose energy tends to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction. They tend to be more reserved and less outspoken in groups. Introverts generally enjoy time spent alone or with close friends, and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people.
Some of the typical solitary activities are reading, writing, using computers, hiking and fishing. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer, and inventor are all considered highly introverted.
Not to be confused as being shy - introverts prefer solitary activities over social ones, where as shy people (who may be extraverts at heart) avoid social encounters out of fear. Like extroversion, introversion is not a black and white measurement, and these people may share some of the same traits than extroverts.young adult (4)Someone is generally considered a young adult if they are between 20 to 40 years old.
