Hataraki Man

A nice series about a working woman, but I have to admit that I liked the anime a lot more. I found it more realistic, as silly as that sounds. Still, there are definitely good acting performances in the series, none of the "dreaded Japanese overacting"; the characters were interesting and the closing sequence is well done, with different video each time. What probably surprised me the most about the series was the height difference between Kanno Miho and Hayami Mokomichi. At one point they were standing next to each other in an office and it really surprised me that the dude was that tall. Anyway, a nice break and a shot in the arm for women who prefer to have a career. It's set in that classic standard so there are no twists that would really surprise you in a major way, so it's not challenging to watch. (01.11.2014)
