SHOSHIMIN: How to become Ordinary Has a Rather Unordinary Twist
If you started watching SHOSHIMIN: How to become Ordinary because of Hyouka, then, like me, you’re a fan of a slow-paced comfort show with mundane mysteries threaded throughout. You’re also a fan of Honobu Yonezawa — the author of the novels. SHOSHIMIN: How to become Ordinary has been a delight to watch despite the difference in studio and direction. Like Hyouka, it’s character-driven and elevates mysteries that would appear simple and boring in real life, but thanks to the animation and cinematography, it’s anything but.
