Nishikie Ikkei: Ok that OP caught my eye, when is that coming out?
Chiisana Akari: Maybe a little too storybook for my taste.
Jyanken Daisensou: Serious Business.
Numa no Shizuku: Now to wreck my bloody revenge on those who wronged us.
PianoCamera: Its Black Rock Shooter, with pianos.

I actually rather liked Nishikie Ikkei, Numa no Shizuku, and PianoCamnera. Kind of wish they would get extended to at least a full OVA.

Chiisana Akari reminds me of this children's book I read before.

Jyanken Daisensou was very funny! :D

Numa no Shizuku was very touching.

PianoCamera was very interesting :3 Great animation!

While I was partly joking in my first comment, I do agree Numa no Shizuku was rather touching, I think the most out of the three. I really, really want to see want to see what happens next in PianoCamera.

Nishikie Ikkei had a really unique art style, but it I wanted to know more about it.
Chiisana Akari seemed like a mix of Madoka Magica witch worlds and Christopher Rabbit. I appreciate it but it doesn't really fit my style.
Jyanken Daisensou was indeed Serious Business!
Numa no Shizuku was my favourite. I liked the lead character's design, and wanted to see more of the story.
PianoCamera was good looking and had good music. Liked it too.

Just my thoughts though.

I have to say I was really impressed by Numa no Shizuku. The animation was really well done. It felt very smooth and natural.
