Kono Bijutsu-bu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!

This was really good. This is not the worst anime in the world but it did it job. It is different from a lot of school life anime, and I liked it because of it. Story: Now for the story their is not too much to it. You have this art club full of students with all different personalities. every episode is it own different story that is it own episode. For that reason I give the story a 6, not too much to it (other than the unrequited love between the characters). Art: The art in this i fantastic, Involving around an art club you would expect a very great art quality, and I was not disappointed. The art I give a 9. Sound: For the sound I watched it sub (which at the time of this review, it the only version available). The sub is not that bad although when is a sub ever bad. The sound I give a 7. Characters: Now I have a lot to say about the characters. First off usually in a school life anime the characters are in high school, that is not the case this time because they are in middle school students. Now this might turn some people off to this anime because the characters are going to really not be grown up yet. This really interested me going in because for most slice of life fans you are consisted in a high school environment, and not a middle school environment. The characters I give a 10. Enjoyment/Overall: The enjoyment value I give a 7, I was enjoying this though I thought this would be easy to binge watch but it did not go through. The overall value is an 8, I enjoyed myself through this anime.

"Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru " is a typical and lighthearted slice of life romantic comedy. It uses tropes like any other anime, since that´s pretty much unavoidable, but it is a show that definitely shows it is trying it´s best in spite of a couple fatal flaws in the set up. On the good points side, the show has stunning art. If it wasn´t for the general lack of more fluid art which at the same time has bigger detail, it would have a full 10. However, this is a big nitpick, and between it´s focus on art and the general unique design for many characters. hand to hand with some comedic focus, the show definitely creates visuals well-worth keeping your eyes on. The show looses a lot of points though (skip to the next paragraph if you haven´t watched it as this sentence may have minor spoilers) is how the central plot makes no progress. This is a big thing for light novel adaptations such as this one, but it takes almost ridiculous levels in this show. It is not the only trope the show uses badly though, as the majority of it´s characters are rather bland and the show often tries to shove relatability down our throats like it´s sour medicine...that doesn´t work. It also tends to re-use it´s comedy a bit too often, making them get old really fast, and while we do get some amazing comedy sequences on the show´s lined-up misunderstanding style, it can be enough for you to zone out and miss out on important parts. It does make a comeback on it´s side-characters, though, as the line between main and side-characters is rather blurry. The distribution of focus on this anime is rather refreshing, allowing a lot of it´s side-characters to have a proper spotlight not just making things more immersive as a slice of life, but also upgrading characters beyond plot devices. However, even here plot and characters generally don´t change, have little progress. As there is nothing to do, characters are just set to goof around and it makes the whole thing ultimately feel quite pointless. This is not just about being a slice of life show, but it goes beyond that. The fatal flaw of this show, it seems, is the premise. There is very little to really explore if you´re not willing to let go of the thing you think your character relatable to the audience, in this case, how the main character is a giant otaku. This results in an emptiness regarding any kind of story and while the show is definitely trying it´s best at coming up with fresh ideas, there is really only so much you can pull. A lot of it´s problems, bland characters, repetition of jokes, etc... are something I believe comes from this. In conclusion, "kono bijutsubu ni wa mondai ga aru!" is a happy show that is great to relax to, but plays safe a bit too much regarding it´s main character which empties it´s premise of what little potential it could have in the first place. Watch if you´re into art and slice of life as the show definitely knows what it is doing in that department, but don´t if you´re looking for some deeply fleshed out romance or characters. Ultimately, it´s an OK show that nonetheless would likely be better off as a short-episode anime.

Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru! (This Art Club Has A Problem!) Art/Characters: Before anything else, I need to say how much I love the opening animation to this show. It shows the basic steps to drawing a character and making it come to life, and the characters are the main ones in the show. It’s a play on images! I think that is just so much fun and then it shows well how they all interact together and all of the confusion that the show promises is available to see in the opening animation. As for the art of the show as a whole I felt that it was fresh and not too generic, as it could have easily been. It had a shine to it that is unlike anything I have really seen at all in this season. But just because it is fresh doesn’t mean there aren’t anime clichés. The twin tails girl, the awkward adviser, and one of the main characters having a messy hair style, either way it still felt good and original. As for the characters themselves, I have seen them before, but their character style isn’t overused. The main girl is hopelessly in love with main guy but the main guy doesn’t seem to notice. Uchimaki is just focused on his 2D anime wife. The club president is actually a new character I haven’t really seen, he seems to take on the role of “person most likely to nap through school”. As for Colette, her most interesting trait is that she doesn’t have dialogue until a few episodes in, but can be seen hiding in episode 1. Sound/Music: The music! The Music! THE MUSIC of this show is so catchy and so poppy and so fun and so enjoyable that I would pay to own the soundtrack. The bubbly and the synth music just go so well together that I can’t get over it. This is the type of background music that compliments the show so well, that it actually gives the show depth. The actual sound direction however, is a little lax. There was the occasional crash when something fell, or the door sliding open, but what would have really pulled me in, would be when the closeness of the camera was on the canvas, and you would be able to hear the paint brush sweep across creating a new dynamic. It would have been nice, but it didn’t happen. However, I must say that the music that replaced that sound, more than compensated and I was happy anyway. Story: This is the story of how Usami is trying to win the love of her life, Uchimaki. But he is not interested in 3D girls, and he is only focused on the wives that he paints and the ones he watches in anime. While she is trying to win him over, she is surrounded by Colette, a troublemaker that seems to only want to goof off, and the club president, who really only wants to sleep through club activities. Between, trying to win his love and being surrounded by people who don’t seem to care, Usami really just wants to use the club time to paint and express herself with what she deems as “True art”, aka. not anime girls. Personal Reflection: This is one of those shows that I saw the art, I saw the title, and instantly fell in love. I am such a sucker for club-based anime, and I am proud of that. This show, as I have said before, has amazing music and it is honestly one of the best parts of this show. But that alongside a hilarious pairing of a studious girl with an otaku boy, the show really blossoms into something special. There is even another character that comes around who wants to impress Usami and no matter what he does, he can’t seem to get it right, which I think is quite playfully fun and I actually feel a little bad for him. As I hinted before, the opening is so good and so clever when it comes to the way it ties the show together. I have often said that a good opening is better than a PV in many ways. The PV is supposed to give a taste of the art, the animation, and maybe the voice acting, but an opening is supposed to showcase what the characters are supposed to be like, and this opening is the crown jewel if I have ever seen one. As for the rest of the show, it is fantastic. It is funny, it pushes limits, and it is really smart. The one thing I didn’t like was that there didn’t seem to be much progression. I won’t spoil the ending, but I do think it is important to have progression through the entire show, but on the other hand, to not have any, and then have the final episode go to fast, can really kill a show for me, and I am glad that the show didn’t take the latter route. The show that is before you has a fresh and enjoyable art style, with clever humor, amazing music, and is only a little cliché; check it out if you love Club-based anime! Overall Score: 8.5/10

To Be honest i went in expecting for a rom-com but fortunately or unfortunately it turned out to be a surprise comedy feel good package. The main character of the show stands out to be a 2d lover but the female character likes him tbh she tries hard to make him fall for him this situations turn out to be worth watching especially her cute blushes and comedy scenes,the background characters especially kaori and collete is too nice and to fill the mix a clumsy sensei and a crazy club prez. so from my point of view this backs upto be nicetime killer if you are bored with the usual rom coms and the regular shounens.

It exists. Konobi was fine. Nothing groundbreaking but nothing especially bad. It's like vanilla ice cream dipped in vanilla ice cream. The plot is lacking and nothing all that gripping but that's about what I expected. The art style isn't appealing but that doesn't mean it's some kind of spectacle to behold, the songs found in this anime are nothing special either. For your characters you have a kind cute girl who likes the MC, there's the MC himself being your run of the mill, dense as a neutron star otaku, an air headed girl, an otaku girl who serves as a rival to the main love interest, and the lazy senpai who does essentially nothing. Where have a seen this before? Oh yeah that's right literally everywhere. The show was fine, it was like empty calories: tastes good in the moment but in the end isn't filling at all. In all honesty this anime would have gotten an overall rating of 6 from me if the ending was at all satisfying, but it wasn't. Literally nothing happens and their relationship stays in the same place with zero character development anywhere to be found. Go ahead and watch this anime if you want to but don't be expecting a masterpiece because you will be sorely disappointed.

Story 5/10 The story was a mess I don't even think that was a story. It is more like a series with different episodes each time with every episode having its own story. The ending was quick and everyone can notice that the producer wanted to end it in a good way but he did it so quickly that it turned against him Audio 8/10 the specific anime did not require that much of a sound effect for the environments that it took place. The tracks were decent but regardless of my taste they made them fit to where they should. Art 9/10 the art was really good. To be honest this anime probably has my favorite art style. I like it a lot. Especially how the colors are displayed which makes sense for an anime that has to do with art. Character 6/10 Half of the characters were well developed and easy to keep them in mind while the other half of them were just bystanders. 2 of the main characters were plain and predictable almost like they existed for the purpose of... Well having characters to display. Overall 7/10 while it was not the best thing to watch it was not so bad considering that it was something that I am used to watch. The way the characters were interacting was pleasant though repetitive. Furthermore despite the lack of an actual storyline they put a lot of effort into making it special. I don't think I should give a thumbs up for this attempt but it was still something not as common as I am used to

AVERAGE! DAMN! SO AVERAGE. It's not bad, it's just average. I knew there would be no story to speak of when going in, there almost never is any real story for shows like this, if you want story you need to go for light novels(most novels have a fairly good one since everything depends upon it) or long running manga that are more serious in nature. In the first place you can't expect anime to cover a lot of story with the diluted plot you get after processing it from the manga. Anyway, I didn't come here for any special plot or story, I watch stuff like this to laugh and a serious story just tends to get in the way, so it's not a minus that there's none. However, I feel like I've seen this anime dozens of times at least. It's hard to laugh, at most I get a chuckle now and then and some light-hearted smiles. Clichés are everywhere, seriously. This entire thing is pretty much just more food for the romcom starved people that love their clichés. I've pretty much seen every character in this thing with another name and look in another story, often several of them in the same work, that's how overused this is. It's so damn overused. It's clear that the author just copy-pasted the generic stereotypes from other novels/manga/anime that "works" and thought "it's tried and tested, failsafe, mwahahaha", literally no effort whatsoever can have been put into making these characters and the least interesting ones are probably the two mcs. However, not only are the characters so overused and generic that you will feel like you've seen them countless times before, the story setting is the same. Yet another school romcom with some oddballs and a club setting, gosh, we haven't seen that before, right? It doesn't make it better that the jokes are stale as well and you WILL have heard/seen most of them before, extremely predictable. The author is not even trying to be imaginative and new-thinking, he's just comfortably recycling stuff that has worked in other anime/manga in a way that will make you sincerely believe that he is just sitting there flipping through other works and ripping them off when he finds something amusing while slightly changing it in one way or another, effectively catering to people who love that stuff way too much. I didn't really hate it, I just thought it was somewhat boring since it felt like I had seen it all before and that the author didn't even try to make stuff different. It's hard to make something completely fresh and new, but I'd like to at least see an effort to not adhere to EVERY character/story/joke cliché with no exception and come up with some new stuff, at least get one or two original characters. Do I think you should watch this? Quite honestly, no. Unless you love the clichés this thing offers, you will be bored to death. I recommend reading the manga instead, it will go faster and therefore it will be more interesting. Some stuff just doesn't adapt well into anime. This is one of those things, that is better as a manga. It will still be the same clichés and other crap, but at least it will not bore you to death with more fast paced progression.

Looking at This Art Club Has a Problem! before I started it, it seemed like a generic cute high school romantic comedy type show. It didn't look like it was anything too promising and didn't seem to bring a whole lot to the table. Just a follow the beaten-path show that you'll see many of every season. However due to me watching this in my Summer months when I have allot more free time to watch anime on my hands, I decided to pick it up. This Art Club Has a Problem! was much better than I expected it to be going into it, it leaned more towards the comedy aspect than the high school romance which really made this anime different compared to other high school rom-com's. This Art Club Has a Problem did definitely have it's romantic aspects to it... There were even a few episodes where it was the main focus. However they never took "love" too seriously in this anime, for them this "love" that was happening was nothing more than a segway to the next joke. Comedy was the focus in this anime, they never let things get too serious when it came to those romantic scenes, they always used it as a transition for the next joke instead of using it to develop their love for each other. I really enjoyed that about this anime, the "love" that was suppose to be developing between these too was treated as a joke, for some people that might be seen as "poor writing" but for me I saw it as the most realistic thing that could've happened... Subaru Uchimaki shows absolutely no interesting in 3D women at all through out this ENTIRE series... If a true love formed between Mizuki and Subaru I don't think I would've been able to tolerate the anime. Think about it a guy who's been put into lewd scenarios with these characters and had NO reaction to it at all would not just suddenly fall in love because she walked home with him after school or because he shared an umbrella with her or something else really native to these shows. As sad as it may be for Mizuki, it's much better that they never tried to form a love between these two and instead focused on making the viewer laugh at her desperate attempts and the follow-up comedy... If you're looking for a high scool romance you've come to the wrong place, well I wouldn't say this is necessarily NOT a high school romance but I wouldn't say it was a generic high school romace either, they did provide quite a bit of fan-service though... Also excellent comedy errr-mmm hmm. This show and all of it's love able characters will give you a good laugh which definitely makes it worth watching in my books.

Konobi is a romantic comedy (?) With a quirky argument about the world's least artistic art club. Many scenes of his comedy are based on Cliches typical of this genre. The animation is well done and the Soundtrack is also good, the background music goes well with the type of series, the opening is something sticky but it is lively in a mediocre way. The characters: Mizuki is the only one who really caused me some grace with his behavior Tsundere towards Uchimaki (who will NEVER look at it as I can see), the rest of characters (Colette, the President, the girl Chunibyo and the teacher who Looks like a student) have nothing of charisma and are somewhat boring. The story about Mizuki trying to get Uchimaki (an obsessed Otaku) to focus on her, while attending an Art club where the only ones who draw are the two, because the rest of the members do not do it or they are lazy guided by a teacher Who looks more like a high school student moe. While a "rival" appears (which in the end turns out not to be) as obsessed with the anime as Uchimaki, let's say it could be better led and more ordered. Even so, I can not classify it as a bad series, it fulfilled my expectations according to what I expected from this anime.

KonoBi :P Kono Bijutsubu is a pretty funny show. The main character, Usami is a normal female person who after joining the art club, finds herself surrounded with *interesting* personalities. Being the normal person that she is, she tries to proceed with things normally or making things go normal, only to get get dragged into mayhem caused by the other characters. Story: 7 There isn't really a story in this show. It is more of the progress of the characters becoming closer and getting used to each other. Just like how you slowly get to know your friends as you guys just met each other, it is the same in this show, just that in this show you start off with seeing their whacky personalities. There are a few sad undertones that realises how the characters are actually people with feelings too, even if it seems as if it is all just a fictional situation. Art: 9 The art is clear and bright-coloured. It has a light palette and gives the show a fun and cheerful feel, perfect for the genre it is trying to bring across: Comedy. The character expressions are decent and makes you expect funny situations one after another. Character: 9 Weird personalities mashed into one club does things pretty well :) First we have Usami the main character. As I said before, a pretty normal character but that is exactly why she's not bad with the cast of characters as she brings across the contrast all what's happening with what is normal. Uchimaki Subaru is whom the show is secondarily based upon. A true blue otaku at its finest! As if it runs in his blood, Subaru is the manifestation of everything that is Otaku and sadly for Usami, only otaku. Joining the art club with the goal of creating the PERFECT WAIFU, Subaru's wholehearted passion ends up influencing all the activities the Art Club does. And you get to see drawings of waifus from various other shows too ;) including a trap..... With Colette's downright weirdly interesting antics, Club President's unending yearning for sleep and Imari Maria's super cute and cool chuuni mode <3, they somehow mesh together pretty well and make up a hilarious show. Enjoyment: 10 I'll be honest and say the extent of enjoyment is depending on one's own tastes but I can definitely say that the extent to which each character exhibits their personality is damn satisfying to watch how it plays out with corresponding the other character's personality and counter reactions. I had a lot of fun watching KonoBi every week and I hope you will as well. Watching KonoBi is a fun way to spend your time. While it may not be a masterpiece of sort, it is a decent comedy to bring out laughter. And by the way, there is a somewhat indirect vague resolution of the romance (?) at the last bridge scene :)) "True love transcends dimensions" "There were too many good shows this season. I had to watch 30 episodes every week."

This Art Club has a problem is a fairly basic, lighthearted romcom, but it was nevertheless fun to watch! Story- 5/10 The story is definitely where this anime falls short. There is some plot progression here and there, but overall the pacing is VERY slow. Characters- 8/10 Most the characters in this story are quite funny and cute, which is perfect for a lighthearted SOL romcom like this. Art- 7/10 The art and animation is nothing spectacular, but it isn’t too basic also. Sound- 7/10 Good voice acting with a decent OP and OST that fit the situations. Overall- 7/10

This Art Club Has a Problem! is not a romance show exactly. A love interest show more like it. Usami likes Uchimaki, but Uchimaki only likes 2D girls. They both meet at the art club and after Uchimaki helps a lost girl on their way back home, Usami begins to like him. Problem is, like I mentioned, he doesn't like 3DPD. Comedy ensue. Along with this ride we have the club's president, a senior highschool student that really enjoys sleeping at the club's sofa. I think he might be homeless. We also get Collette, a vibrant, energy-filled girl that we're not sure why she's there but she's pretty funny so they keep her around, and Imari, an otaku and transfer student that is kinda crazy. It's hard to point exactly why this show is such a nice watch. The art is pretty good and the characters are really endearing. Even minor characters like the Kaori, Sayaka and Ryouko bring a lot to the little moments they come up. You could easily have entire episodes based on the minor characters alone. Same goes to Tachibana, the teacher appointed to be the club's supervisor. The show manages to keep up pace and juggle really well all its parts. The comedy, the love interest moments, crazy and nonsense scenes and so on. It's charming and quite entertaining. All characters manage to be quite likable and necessary in their own way. No wonder the manga is going strong for almost 10 years now.

I really enjoy this simple and easy to watch Konobi Anime, you just watch and definitely can easily get overall idea how the story went. Common anime involve complex romance between Subaru Uchimaki and Mizuki Usami, misunderstanding, comedy and motivation in the art club. Characters are very simple and cute especially colette and yumeko. Very simple that you no need to research or check critics required to watch this anime. Overall this anime is kidda short with 12 episodes but you definitely have a nice sweet tea time and occasionally it will give you a great smile. 7 out of 10 for me :)

Warning- This review may contain minor spoilers and is quite long I suppose I should write a review on something I actually quite liked. It'll be a good change from getting my blood boiling from busting out a 3000-word rant of an anime I generally despise. So here's an anime review of a short, sweet and relaxing anime that surprised me enough to write a review on it. Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!, or "Konobi!" for short, is a one-cour series animated by studio feel- a studio that has sort of come to itself and started making some fairly big cult-hits like Dagashi Kashi and the hot new romance that is Tsuki ga Kirei. These are a far cry from their more infamous (famous?) works like Mayo Chiki and Kiss x Sis. Konobi seems to be a sort of transition anime- something to test new waters on- a manga adaptation with SoL elements and a relaxed anime that doesn't take itself too seriously (with enough gimmicky situations to attract their old crowd) but also something that works hard to leave an impression on the viewer in the end. Does this work? Well, in a way, yes. The anime can very easily be taken as a knock-off Gekkan shojou or Chuunibyou and indeed the comparisons are numerous enough to not be slightly suspicious towards the producers of the show. The anime is composed of short stories that take up about a third to half an episode and mostly involve the characters in various silly situations. Just like Gekkan and Chuu2. Where this anime divorces itself from the aforementioned shows, however, is the continuity. The events that transpire have consequences that influence the flow of the show as well as having an impact on future events. This makes the anime very well paced and its incredibly relaxing shifting between the stories as the show expertly slows and speeds up when it needs to. This is helped by the fact that the show is actually quite funny. The characters initially started out as fairly normal middle school-SoL-comedy cast with the lazy Art club president, the male MC who has talent but applies it in questionable areas, a cloud cuckoolander girl who always finds opportunities to get up to her usual antics and the main character who has a crush on the male MC but is a class 2 tsundere and struggles to get her feelings out throughout the show- leading to comedic situations. This anime has some pretty great situational comedy. Things are actually quite predictable but the characters have enough charm with them that it just works. The situations the characters end up in are oftentimes unrealistic and happen for the sake of comedy but the anime knows this and balances it out with some great interactions between the different characters. There's even a character (Koyama sensei) who doesn't have any comedic situations tied to him and exist solely for grounding the anime. And he does a fine job. This groundedness and great pacing allow the anime to also work well as a slice of life as many of the short stories- especially in the second half- are simply sublime to watch. The characters are definitely the highlight of this show. They may not be original and they certainly don't do things better than the cast of characters from the shows I've previously mentioned but they do have character. The main character- Usami Mizuki- is a fun character to follow around. Her passionate tendencies give rise to many hilarious moments such as the episode where the artist guy we never learn the name of (as a joke) trash talks on her crush's artistic style and motivations. She has such a large personality that its great to see her also have a more toned-down, perceptive and compassionate side to her to juxtapose as well as to add to the anime's overall relaxed nature. Her voice actor - Ozawa Ari - also voiced Chiyo from Gekkan. Whilst she was great there I feel she fitted the slightly immature Usami much better. The main male character- Uchimaki Subaru- is also pretty great. He's nowhere near as developed or well-explored as Mizuki and actually fits more into a generic main boy character. He has enough unique qualities to sell the relationship though as his generally calm demeanor also crosses into the territory of him having an inability to give a f*ck when the artist guy is trash talking him. Both he and Mizuki have solid background and motivations so whatever they do is perfectly reasonable and oftentimes hilarious. The interaction between the two in the various stories are fun to watch and the anime captures the innocent romance of a young middle school crush very nicely. The writing doesn't consider them as idiots and doesn't treat the audience as such either. They very much act their age and this makes every achievement- from completing the painted mural on the pool to completing the artwork made of cans at the end- all the more satisfying. I'm genuinely glad the anime focused on the (developing?) relationship between these two as they provide an endless source of fun. The other characters aren't as developed but they have adequate amounts of screentime and moments to themselves. It's enough to explore their different attributes and I consider the short stories dedicated to them- namely Colette the cloud cukoolander and the Art club president - to be some of the best with their meaningful and satisfying aesops as well as the charm in full force. I mean, I can't be the only one who found the game of "staying in the shadow" played between Colette and the little girl incredibly cute, right? Imari Maria makes is introduced as a slight Chuu2 character halfway through and doesn't get nearly as much as she deserves- being only around sometimes and is overshadowed by the rest of the cast. Her optimistic outlook and her generally free-spirited disposition, however, sell her character in the few scenes she has. I just wish she was actually as important as the show had initially shown her to be but I understand the show's desire to not step into the realm of a serious romance too much. So as a supporting character, she plays her role well. There's also the new advisor for the art club- Tachibana Yumeko sensei who finds herself in hilarious situations much of the time she appears but also receives just the right amount of screentime as well as a very nice introductory story. And the story in the first half of episode 8 is genuinly hilarious with her. The animation is quite similar to those of Doga Kobo's more recent works, especially in the colour and lighting department. It's a mostly subdued art style that emphasises the SoL nature of the show. The thing that annoys me about it though is the backgrounds being incredibly boring to look at. There's little to latch onto the scenery like in Doga Koba and Kyoani shows (heck, even JC Staff will kick its ass). I wouldn't be so harsh comparing it to those well-established studios if it weren't for this anime being made to obviously compete with the shows those studios turn out. The direction is also very boring throughout the show and it tells me that the people making this were perhaps playing it too safe. The director- Okawa Kei- has directed Oregairu season 2 and the soon-to-be-released Hinamatsuri (which looks really good for now). He and the directing staff do improve over the course of the show as the characters become more closely entwined with the story but overall it is decidedly average. The actual animation itself is decent. I like most of the character designs and the change of art styles at times adds to the anime's innocent-hearted expression. Some of the character animations in the later episodes are surprisingly great- enough to compete even with Kyoani at times. It is, however, quite inconsistent in the first half with some characters not drawn to scale correctly and the CG cars being quite distracting. I can happily say that the second half corrects most of these issues though. The music is generally good. Unfortunately, I can't stop myself from comparing it to soundtracks in Doga Kobo shows. It re…

Kono Bijutsubu is an enjoyable show for sure, don't get me wrong, I liked the specific aspects of the show. The story was a little stale for my liking. The Characters were relatable, especially for an otaku like myself and everyone else here. This show was extremely average personally. As I watched I could predict nearly everything that happened. The show had nothing to make it unique. That aside I thought the characters were fun to watch connect. The fact that she had a crush on Uchimachi yet he had his "waifus" was hilarious. They did a really good job on making it clear to the audience that it was a comedy. I found myself laughing a lot. I wish the show had more story to it, i feel like It could be a show i would recommend to people if it had some sort of linear plot to follow. That being said, No i would not recommend this show to people who want to see it for its story. Although, if you would like to relax and unwind while watching a pretty funny anime, this is just the thing to watch. Don't expect much out of their relationship though. I was hoping for that the whole show and was kind of disappointed at the end. So I don't want to lead anyone on, forgive me for slightly spoiling their relationship. But nonetheless, I had fun watching the show and will look forward to any specials or even a season 2. Thanks for reading.

Spoiler free. Story: 5 Maybe i've could rate the story even less, because there isn't a real story, only a sequence of situation that aren't well bonded together. There could have been a story, but i don't really pretend it from that kind of anime. In my opinion is a great waste of potential and a "bad" planning choise, but the show isn't that bad, so i'll stop the moaning here. Art: 7 Here is so much a matter of taste, people, the style isn't original and the animation not out of ordinary, but on that point i have to say that there isn't a reason for having amazing animations for that kind of show, they only will result strange! All flow well and the art sytle and color are perfect for a school comedy/romance. Sound: 7 Nothing bad to say about the sound compart...oh, wait, i really don't like the ending, but the opening is light and happy/energetic enough to make me forget about that! The ost ride on the same line, light and happy, so it fits the mood of "Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!" perfectly. Character: 6 Well, that will be brief: no originality. The lack of originality in the chara desing and choice of personality isn't a "so bad" thing, alone, but you have to balance it at least with an original or strange way of interaction between the characters, if you don't do it the result will be poor. I gave a 6 because i like the "character type" that are present in the anime. Enjoyment: 7 I don't know why but i like the show. Maybe because it was relaxing and without pretention/presumption, a simple show that take itself for what it is, and nothing more. There were some funny moments, nothing hilarious, but surely funny! Overall: 6.5 It's not a 6 nor a 7, i want half points lol If only they have put some more meat on the "art fire" and feast around it, the show might will became a lot more interesting! Recommended for who search some light and slightly funny anime to use as a break from more "mental series".

Its a pretty funny anime about art club members. Mizuki Usami has a crush on Uchimaki Subaru a very talented artist who only wants to draw "2D waifus" The club president who sleeps all day. Colette a little blond airhead foreigner. And the shy, clumsy, but dedicated, teacher who supervises the club Yumeko Tachibana Mizuki's interactions with Uchimaki is very funny as she cant admit her feelings to him. And Uchimaki is completely oblivious since he has no interest in 3D girls. However its not frustrating to watch. Its actually very cute. Mizuki's bob hairstyle looks very adorable. Its obvious to everyone that Mizuki likes Uchimaki, except Uchimaki himself. Conclusion: a cute, funny, romance, school slice of life. With fun and likeable characters. And a nice art style.

This art class has a problem is just a good slice of life series,The main setting is usually a school that the main cast have their art class in whcih is cool, The characters are pretty funny too but watching the series would be better to see what I mean. Its not really a unique show but it is pretty good for just being 12 episodes to promote the manga. I wish this anime continued for atleast one more season though. this is definetly going to be one of the animes I come back to watch every once in a while.

tl;dr: A solid slice of life comedy held up by an amusing cast. This anime is centered around an amusing middle school art club and people they’re associated with. Each episode is the standard 24 minutes, but most are composed of completely distinct segments, and thus it’s essentially a series of comedic shorts. This comedy is entirely carried by it’s cast. None of the characters have that much depth in and of themselves, but they’re all pretty interesting and amusing and the writing makes good use of that for a lot of amusing situations. Of the art club, only one member, Usami, is really acting like a proper art club member should. She also generally serves as the tsukommi to the rest of the club members antics, though with her easily angered personality and her crush on fellow art club member Uchimaki, she’s the source of a good amount of comedy as well. The relationship dynamic between the two is amusing because while a great artist, Uchimaki is a total otaku who says he has absolutely no interest in 3D girls and joined the art club essentially with the goal of painting the ultimate waifu. And he doesn’t try to hide these aspects of him in the least and it constantly results in him butting heads with Usami. But despite all that, she’s still totally in love with him. And despite her being totally obvious about it to the point that pretty much everyone else has realized it, Uchimaki is too dense to notice. If the focus here was actual relationship development, then this may have been frustrating, but as it is it feels the relationship is more a source for comedy than romance, and as such it fits the anime quite well. The other art club members include: Collette, a strange and incredibly energetic girl with an obsession with heroes; and the unnamed President, who is incredibly laid back, lazy, and just sleeps all the time. Though neither of the two ever really shown actually creating any art of their own so it’s a wonder why they’re in the club in the first place. Both have a decent presence the point I think its fair to consider them main characters, but far less than Usami and Uchimaki. What I think really elevates the cast of this anime though, is it’s really good use of reoccurring side characters. There’s a very large variety to these side characters, ranging from clumsy teachers, to meddling best friends, to chuunibyou transfer students, to incompetent and forgettable rivals. Most are incredibly simple, but they’re used well in a spaced out manner to keep things interesting, with the ones that are especially interesting being used just as much as the main character’s even I’d say. There’s also pretty good use of abrupt coincidences, like the random girl randomly met on the street in one episode just happening to be the granddaughter of one of the teachers as shown later on, that should feel forced or unnatural, but due to the execution manage to feel amusing in context. The majority of the anime is just these random comedic shorts, with the only real overarching elements being the introduction of new characters from time to time. Still, with the varied cast and varied comedy it keeps things pretty enjoyable throughout. I felt the last two episodes were a bit weak however. They drop the separate segments aspect to instead have a single story per episode, each trying to have significance beyond just comedy. The 11th episode is centered around the art club as a group of friends with the standard anime style emphasis on youth and the 12th has a pretty strong emphasis on the relationship between Usami and Uchimaki. There’s still comedy, but it’s paced much slower than previous episodes in favor of serious moments that are actually intended to hit emotional beats. I don’t think these emotional beats worked all that well however. The art club and everyone around them have a pretty amusing dynamic that fun to watch, but it’s not the type of group of friends that one finds themselves getting invested in, and thus the emotional beats related to that don’t hit all that hard. The relationship between Usami and Uchimaki is similarly amusing, but not that good of a romance in and of itself, and thus that too feels like it fell pretty flat, especially as no real progress was made. I get what they’re going for in trying to have a more memorable and substantial finale, but I really feel the story really wasn’t in a place that such a thing could be pulled off. With all that said, it’s not like these two episodes were bad, just weaker than the episodes before them, and thus while the anime didn’t end on what I think is a high note, it still left off on a pretty decent note. The art and animation in the anime was pretty solid. The character designs were solid for the setting. There were a few cameos of other anime that were amusing to see, though they were a lot more subtle and minimal than anime references usually are in my experience. The eye catches between segments were pretty amusing. The OP and ED both had pretty great visuals and songs that fit the anime incredibly well. The soundtrack outside of that was decent enough but not particularly memorable.

Every point is standart, not bad or not too good. The story is not really punched because the genre is slice of life, we can't much expecting about story or character. But the comedy is value from this anime. I can laughed just because simple interaction from each character without anything feel absurd or a lot fan service. I much appreciate how this anime deliver the humor. The comedy is flowing natural from how the character expresion and the act of voice act is really good. Even this anime was airing in 2016 i still enjoyable watching this on 2021.
