Although the response to baka yarou anime Minamike Okaeri’s first episode was cautiously optimistic, despite a disastrous blunder, nobody can help but notice the less than first rate animation and character design, or Asread quality as it has come to be known. Merciless 2ch gathers the oddest above.

The imminent third season of troubled baka-yarou anime Minamike, Minamike Okaeri, has been unveiled in modest detail with the release of a brief trailer, allowing a fair comparison between the three seasons.
Minamike fans are seemingly split between those who consider the new series to represent a complete collapse in design quality, and those who think it compares well with Okawari. We need not consider the other possible opinion, vanishingly rare as it is.

An anon was kind enough to introduce me to the superb 3D CG artist whose works we saw when looking at the state of 3D Haruhi games; going by the name of 北仙 / Hokusen, with his site/circle called “Feel Myself”, he possesses notable skill in rendering anime characters in 3D, and his works are well worth a look, both for their artistic merits, and as a sign of things to come.
You’ll also notice he has a singular predilection for creating interesting Haruhi images…
I have placed these fine images on the Channel, where he now has a tag; please feel free to help tagging them.

Minamike fans everywhere are in a state of grave despair with the news that the recently announced third season of Minamike is set to be a continuation of the oft reviled second series, Okawari, with the same producers, which was not previously clear.
