I'm not a fan of long reviews so I'm going to keep this short and to the point...

If you are bored and have nothing better to do in life while wanting to have some wholesomeness then sure go for it and watch it.

Its just mugs and bowls, made by cute girls.

The art is pretty basic. With the 'look at me I'm the protagonists' character designs.

The story is mugs. We have no mugs, then we make mugs. That's how we have mugs. They have colourful mugs, they have unique mugs, and they also have normal mugs! They avoid ugly mugs! Ugly mugs are bad. Nice mugs ...

Ah, Japan! What to think about its cultural beauties? This time pottery is the main theme of another honest and simple show, but one that deserves attention and care

Himeno is the character that plays the key role in the construction and the sample of the show. The protagonist has an interesting past with ceramics. In fact, her mother is the cause of this. She was an excellent artist in this profession, which requires concentration, creativity, and especially innovation. Himeno doesn't remember much of the past she had with her mother, not even with the ceramics she made. In fact, Himeno had a greater appreciation for ...

I have been rather unacquainted with pottery throughout my entire life. Despite being born in a country where it's recognized as a long-established profession (although neglected now, unfortunately), pottery never really caught my interest. However, after watching Yakunara Mug Cup mo, I might have become a little eager to learn about it.

Yakunara Mug Cup mo takes place in Tajimi, a city which is known for its pottery. The story mainly focuses on high school student Himeno Toyokawa, who moved to Tajimi after her father's company went bankrupt. On the first day of her new school, a boisterous girl named Mika Kukuri invites her to visit ...

This is probably the most mediocre anime I have ever seen.

Story: 5 - there really isn't a lot going on. Every episode they try to have a small little story that's happening but 98% of it doesn't really matter...

Art: 6 - there's not much going on again, it's all just cutesy. They do put effort in making the actual pottery projects look nice though I will admit.

Sound: 5 - this one is always hard to review for me because I never pay attention to the sound, but that just also means there wasn't anything that made me want to pay attention

Characters: 3 - these girls ...

Well, this is a bit of an odd ball.

It's the stereotypical CGDCT, with pottery, that is nothing more than just product placement and advertisement for the city of Tajimi, Gifu. Unsurprisingly, when you research about Tajimi's attractions as a Gaijin tourist, Mino-yaki ceramics will be the first thing that pops up since it's very highly regarded over there. And this short show attempts to replicate all of that in the similar "tourist attraction" mood.

As for this show, like I've said, it's just CGDCT with making mugs that slowly evolve into more ambitious earthenware like bowls and sculptures. There's nothing that makes this show stand ...

Let's Make a Mug Too is one of the more underappreciated and underestimated animes because... well, it's pottery. It's not Berserk.

Much like any other craft like drawing or painting, the underlying process behind such crafts are often tedious, underwhelming through intense self-scrutiny, and often-times boring to the outside observer. In other words, the uninitiated would only be able to appreciate the end result of fine art.

Let's Make a Mug Too is about the beginning of an artist's journey, and it's a pretty damn good representation of it! It comes in two parts - half anime and half special.

Let's start off with the specials, which are ...

This is one of the short anime that I've watched for a very long time. And it's definitely worth my time... Probably lmao

I don't know what to say because while it had a coherent story and a nice pacing, I don't think it really accomplished anything in the end. Like, I sometimes think what's the point of this anime.
It just ended so abruptly.
But that's aside the point. How about the pottery and sh*t that it introduced? Well, it's introduced well and properly. It had some scenes that taught the audiences on how to do certain potteries. But because it is a short anime, it needed ...

(TLDR below, thanks for reading)

Every season, there is that one simple CGDCT anime. It may not mean a lot, but honestly, they mean the most when you want something to sit back to and generally pass the time with ease too. For Spring 2021, 2 of these types of anime caught my attention. One other I will mention for another time, the other being today's reviewed "Let's Make a Mug Too" (will abbreviate to "Mug Cup").

Mug Cup doesn't have too much of a real story, and whilst that may be looked down upon, it must be understood that this is no anime trying to be ...

Recommendation: It's short (half-length episodes) and inoffensive, so there are worse shows out there that you could watch, but this is one you can safely skip.

Story: Mug Cup has the bare-bones story setup that you'd expect from a cute slice of life show. The main character, Himeno, has moved to a new town famous for pottery, and joins the pottery club to learn more about her mother, a famous artist from that town that died when she was young. It's part hobbyist anime and part tourism ad for the city of Tajimi, but the tourism parts aren't so in your face that they're ...

In a season so bereft of CGDCT shows, I picked this one up to satisfy my seasonal quota. The verdict? Had it been any other season I wouldn't have bothered. Mug Cup is average, which isn't bad by any means, but it certainly could use some humor or relaxing elements to lift it up.

Part of the problem stems from its direction and style. I gotta give some credit to the production staff for at least attempting several unique cinematic angles you don't normally see in a CGDCT show like this. The problem is that you don't see them for a good reason. There was a ...

What a weird series for me to be writing my first-ever review. Well, here goes nothing. Personal opinions only.

I'll be honest, the reason I decided to watch was because there was a live-action half featuring the main 4 seiyuu. As my profile says, I'm a fan of Wake Up, Girls! and i☆Ris, so seeing that 3 of the 4 main characters are voiced by WUG (Minyami) and i☆Ris members (Seriko and Yuki), I got excited. Unfortunately the live-action half of the song has so far been impossible to find online (if anyone knows where it is, please let me know), so I had to settle ...

It could be yes for other people tho. When i watch this anime, there some sort of scene that kinda relate to my real life experience. When everyone around you is so talented on their own way like creativity or aesthetics, you just want someone special for you to notice about how you capable on and don't want to live behind someone shadows. And when someone react "normally" to what you make without any reaction, it kinda hurt a lot like so relate to my real life experience. kinda coincidence right ?

Also i never know there's a lot of cup type in japan. afterall, this ...
