The *timing* on Maruko's subtle *smears* during the pottery class had glimpses of decent *weight* in the *character acting*, almost hinting at a junior animator with potential akin to early Norio Matsumoto, but the restrictive *layouts* and reliance on flat *background animation* kept it firmly in mid-tier territory. No impactful *composite* or wild *Yutapon Cubes* to elevate it, just... functional. 🤷‍♀️
