![]() I loved it when Asakusa enthusiastically questioned her once about how she’d gotten something done, wondering if it was “thuggery.” Kanamori is not to be played around with. She doesn’t care anything about anime! But it’s fun watching her and listening to her as she rips into everybody around her. And all the while, she doesn’t have a clue about the kind of work that’s being created. She gets funding, she keeps everyone on task and on schedule, she fights off their enemies, and she secures them a market for their products. This is another fun characterization of a type that might work in an anime production company. Sayaka Kanimori is a businesswoman through and through. This much enthusiasm combined with creativity is a little hard to imagine for some of us who aren’t very artistic (yours truly), and I very much enjoyed getting to see such a portrayal in a character. But it’s that sheer amount of unbridled creativity that allows her to germinate and produce the artwork necessary for the three animes they create in this show. Everything she sees and touches becomes something imaginative and extraordinary. We get a good glimpse of how that might be possible from Asakusa. We all probably wonder at times how artists conceptualize and generate such a massive amount of artwork for all the anime that’s produced. ![]() But what I like most is the overwhelming amount of creativity and energy that overflows from her. ![]() She has a lot of personality but is extremely shy around people she doesn’t know. It’s kind of funny how it messes with your head without really mattering to the show! But I like this character. I don’t know if there was supposed to be some doubt about this, or what role that could play in this series, but there is undoubtedly some confusion about this as you get oriented during the first episode. Just to confirm, Midori Asakusa is a girl. Nevertheless, the creativity in this anime is somewhat reflected in these characters. The characters are individually unique and have potential, but because of the way they’re drawn it’s hard to connect with the characters on any level. ![]()
