Not going to lie, those shoes are pretty awesome. I want a piece of that.

I always love these super artistic and beautiful... ads of products that make you feel weird once you think about it xD.

At first the closeups of the boy seemed weird (the mouth more precisely) but later it's nice, and I'm a fan of Asano so I like the designs and the style a lot.

Maybe it's the color palette, or the loss of detail in animation, but that looks more like Takako Shimura than Inio Asano. Asano's characters are usually realistic to the point of being disturbingly ugly.

^ Before I would have said the same but after seeing some pictures in Asano's twitter and being kid's characters it makes sense that they are drawn like that, there are some kids with more distinguisable traits but most of them are portrayed in this cute simplistic way. Even in Dedede, actually the two main girls look too simplistic and moe-y and I don't actually like it in that work. Here I really like though.

Quite liked the artstyle and character designs on that. Nice.
