Joshikousei no Mudazukai

Hey, can I say something amazing right now? This anime is, that's what. Joshikousei no Mudazukai was the one show above all which throughout the season I genuinely didn't understand why it didn't have a higher score on MAL. Me and many of my friends were in agreement that it's probably been the best comedy of the season, and it almost always manages to be entertaining. By design it's nothing out of the ordinary. Just another high school comedy starring a bunch of girls. However, what truly makes it shine is the character cast and the dynamic between them. Mudazukai is very self-aware and every girl in the show is primarily referred to by some stupid nickname that the main character Tanaka has thought up. Tanaka herself, more commonly known as Baka, is as her name suggests an absolute moron. I can't stress enough just how stupid she is, but her stone-faced and deadly serious way of approaching the most ridiculous ideas she thinks up and then promptly forcing them on her friends is probably the core of what makes the show so funny. It's like a domino effect where her antics spread to everyone around her almost as if infecting them with her stupidity which in turn causes them to bring out their own abundance of great comedic interaction. All the characters are basically forced to accept and embrace their own quirks as a result, which effectively turns their own tropes into their advantage instead. If you want to draw some parallels then Joshikousei no Mudazukai can be compared to the likes of Nichijou, Aho Girl or Asobi Asobase with similar kinds of over-the-top, meme-like and really stupid comedic scenarios, but thanks to the character cast it all works out really well. Obviously comedy is still very subjective so it's difficult to really critique it, but if you enjoyed any of those anime then I would definitely recommend checking this one out too.

"Hey, can I say something amazing?" - Baka "OH HOLY $H!T, why is this show SOOOO criminally underrated!?" - The minority of people watching this (including yours truly) This show is comedy gold that we've been seeking since recent times, and as it goes for a stupidly, insanely great premise for a school comedy, something along the lines of last Summer's Asobi Asobase, but fusing with the characters from Nichijou and Daily Lives Of High School Boys, girls' edition. At first, I thought it was like some mindless random high school JKs just lamenting their lives in school trying to make their own mark everywhere they go, being friends and strangers, all within the space of their own perceptions that looked like a bad premise. But as we all know, it isn't so as time progresses and seeing the character cast of their troupes and cliches that we have come to know and accept their randomness with the endless amount of gags that keeps us on our toes for both the expected and unexpected. That's a punchline! Being a full-on comedic series, you would want the character cast to be as dynamic and unique as possible, as how we've seen with both said series before. And this series did illustrate each and every character to the fullest "potential". More than just being the group of generic "meh" girls with only their unique "quirks" to offer in the midst of jokes that hold up hits and misses at times, mangaka Bino ACTUALLY referenced the names of the character casts to the puns and illusions of their own personalities. And with that being said, let's throw the story out completely and bring on the characters! The trio of same-class classmates: Tanaka "Baka" Nozomu, Akane "Wota" Kikuchi and Shiori "Robo" Saginomiya. At first glance, these 3 girls look like your average school clique of friends. HOWEVER, look past the first impressions and you'd have a group of girls who does the EXACT same thing over and over again, so much so that it transforms the initial annoyance to a gem of classic comedy that's tried-and-truely done impressively well. Baka is the constant being of an incredibly stupid and senseless girl, so much so that nobody wants to retaliate her annoying criticisms about everything that is randomized, plus her opening catchphrase. Wota, on the other hand, is aspiring to be a BL mangaka due in part of her being a fan of BL. Moreover, her heart cries out for Vocaloid Teishotoku P as both a fan and crush...but there's a plot twist to it (that we'll see later)! Robo is the type of girl who is emotionless at everything, from her figure of speech to her interest being experiments on biological stuff, so much so that Tanaka calls her "Robo" due to her no-note talking, as if to mimic a robot. The "Filler" classmayes: Saku "Loli" Momoi, Yamamoto "Yamai" Minami, Ninomae "Majime" Kanade, Kujou "Majo" Hisui and Lily Someya. Due to her physique and appearance being one very similar to an (loli) elemntary school kid, don't ever look down upon this childhood innocence of a high school girl, because she wears kindness over her life due to her upbringing with her granny in Japan while parents are away (well duh, of course). Plus, being tormented by everyone with "adult" misunderstandings meant that Loli could not grasp situations well that pertains to the adult mindset. we must protecc Loli! Yamamoto is your typical average chuunibyou that expunges the daily life with her fix of chuunibyou stuff, so much so that their homeroom teacher is SO irritated by it, he counsels her to insanity. Majime is the sort of character where I would call the "aloof" human, due to her tomboyish character notes while not being a social butterfly. And it is this case where she stalks Robo to no end, admiring her smart intelligence all her life. Majo is the group's occult lead, so much so that nobody would want to go near her as she can chant spells that affect the mundaneness that is the human life. Plus, with Lily Someya transferring into the school (and getting acquainted with Tanaka and Co.), she is (naturally) the school's bishoujo, but her anchor lies in her phobia of men (which Tanaka flinches everytime), and with her character design being a parody of lesbian characters, it's not hard to see striking similarities. Last but not least, the homeroom teacher Masataka "Waseda" Sawatari. Despite his quirky appearance, he holds 2 positions: One, to disperse Yamamoto's chuunibyou habits, and two, act as Wota's secret musical artist admirer. Remember what I said about Teishotoku P? If you're wondering who he is, Waseda IS THE ONE. WOW, WHAT A PLOT TWIST! All the characters here, be it working for or against one another, has always had that magical mystery of clicking together for some insane reason or whatnot, it will always stand to be as the highlight of the series by a long shot due to how much the character interactions become the main crux that plays to release all that pent-up frustration of wasting lives away like it's nothing. Plus, a shout-out to the 9 student-ladies crew of VAs who worked tirelessly on this show to give us an overwhelming positive experience! If there is one person to thank for this marvelous setpiece, it is chief director Takeo Takahashi, who has directed the infamous Aki Sora, the incredible Spice and Wolf, the divisive Yosuga no Sora, and now with studio Passione as studio director. It's by far none his best recent directorial work to date. As with studio Passione doing the art and animation, it's pretty average to say the least, or at least on what the studio has been doing for the last 2 years of decent levelling. Particularly, nothing really stands out other than insane scenarios that had me wailing so hard I got bored and yawned at times. HOWEVER...*OP plays* "YO...Mic Check...JK! Wa! Moon! Dass! Cry! Everyday!" While the OST too is very lacking in expressions, at least it somewhat redeems it based on the OP and ED alone. I hate to say it, but while the ED was fine by any usual standards, the OP...like WHAT THE HELL! It went from being SOOOO "meh" to singing "Uuu~~~~ Wa! Moon! Dass! Cry! Everyday!" every episode, at least it is for me! Now THIS is an OP I can share around with friends and marvel at the visuals and technicals about it, plus the crazy (in)sanity at how this simple song was so damn catchy and knows its shtick very well, it may just be one of (if not) the best and unique OPs of the season due to the amount of creativity that is put forth onto it. And now that song is stuck in my head, singing "Wa! Moon! Dass! Cry! Everyday!"...you know it when the GOAT music director Jin Aketagawa is at the helm. While I'd like to re-watch this sometime in the future, the only gripe I had with this show is that more often than not, as stupid as they seem and sound, the jokes either don't land or have less of an eventful impact, so much that it detracts any fun had with this show. With that being said, that is just my nitpick, but if you like full-on comedy that is satisfying at every nook and cranny, this is the show for you. If only Nichijou and Daily Lives of High School Boys had birthed a child, Joshikousei no Mudazukai is a DAMN GOOD (no pun intended) waste of time, wasting our days as high school JKs recreate those moments for the students in us.

This show is aptly named "The Wasteful Days of High School Girls" because it was indeed a waste of my days watching it. All of the reviews so far are touting this as the best comedy of the year, but I just don't see it. Let's see why: Story - 3 To be fair, there is no story. It's a collection of day-to-day activities following three girls and their class. In lieu of a story, I rate this based on character development, which I will elaborate on below. Art - 6 Nothing great, nothing terrible. Sound - 6 Appropriate, but nothing truly memorable. Character - 3 The major issue with this show is it's characters. All of the characters are boring and one-dimensional, most of whom can be described in 2-3 words. The "main three" are pretty bland and most of their time is spent on Baka's unbearable stupidity and the reactions the others have to it. The other girls in the class are all equally as dull, but since they are given less screen time overall, it's much less noticeable. The teacher is the only character consistently fun to watch. There is very little effort put in to exploring the characters or developing them. In fact, the only character that got any sort of meaningful development was Wota, and that episode was the best of the show. They gave the spotlight to a few characters, but nobody did much with the time except highlight the one character trait they have. Enjoyment - 3 The comedy of this show was very hit-or-miss to me, mostly missing. Most of the time I found myself only chuckling once or twice per episode. Occasionally I actually got a laugh out. For a comedy, that's just unacceptable. Overall - 4 This show was simply not good. I watched it hoping for something similar to Asobi Asobase, but I got a cheap knock off with a bloated cast of cardboard cutouts. I saw a lot of people raving about this show being 'comedy gold' and 'the funniest show of the season' but I only found a dull show that dragged on more than it needed to. TL;DR: This show is highly overrated and I don't recommend you watch it unless you have a lot of extra time and have a very generous sense of humor. The jokes are rarely funny and the characters are really boring.

Quick short review: Do you feel like having a fun time and having some good ol' laughs? Trying to feel that missing piece in your heart that craves an anime similar to "Nichijou" or "Asobi Asobase"? Well you came to the right place! Joshikousei no Mudazukai is the anime for you! The story, location, jokes, and even some characters, can't help but constantly remind me of Nichijou/Asobi Asobase, and I like to think of this as a good thing. Others may indeed call this a "Nichijou/Asobi Asobase ripoff" or a "Nichijou/Asobi Asobase wannabe anime", but trust me this isn't the case. Both of them may have a few similarities, but even so, they have there unique features and style of making the jokes pop-off. Ever since Nichijou/Asobi Asobase ended, I have personally been craving for some more of that "good stuff" and "Joshikousei no Mudazukai" finally brought to me what I desired most; laughs. All that aside, I truly believe that this is one of the hidden gems of this anime season, and I am truly amazed that simply not enough people are talking about it. It really does everything right and I highly enjoy it. Overall, giving it a solid 8.2/10. <3

Just not funny enough for me, as a Japanese speaker who adores quirky humour. I came across ‘Joshikousei no Mudazukai’ during a search for anime similar to ‘Nichijou’, ‘Asobi Asobase’ and ‘The Daily Lives of Highschool Boys’ - three anime that I’m fond of and think portray the Japanese surreal humour very well and all in all are extremely funny shows. The anime that most people recommended for these three was this anime, ‘Wasteful Days of Highschool Girls’. Now this may be because I am Japanese, and maybe have a high standard of the Japanese humour that I want to see or if it’s because I understand the humour and language better than perhaps a non-Japanese speaker - but this show just wasn’t that funny to me. I watched it through to the end just because I wanted to give it a chance, but other than its very sparse, occasionally funny jokes and likeable characters, it wasn’t incredibly interesting to me and it did not have me in fits of laughter like ‘Asobi Asobase’ did. Slightly disappointed, if anyone actually would like to see more humour similar to the three above, I would say give ‘Saiki-K’, ‘Grand Blue’ or ‘Sakamoto Desu Ga?’ a try, as this anime just did not hit the mark. I’m giving it a six anyway because, if I ignore the fact that I was searching for a specific type of humour, it is a good show with wholesome moments, dumb remarks and enjoyable characters.

This easy-going anime takes you to the daily struggle of Nozomu "Baka" Tanaka, who lives her nickname to the fullest, and her friends. The baseline story is pretty similar to the other slice of life anime that takes highschool girl as the protagonist, but this one has an enjoyable character development pacing and serves you with more relatable events. No cringe, boring, or cliche stuff. Everyday is a peaceful day. As per for my subjective evaluation, I don't see any downside to this anime. I knew that I am going to complete watching this and be excited waiting to watch the next episodes after finishing one since the first episode. I loved how they brings diversity in many forms even though the plot; Tanaka went into girls-only highschool yet still have strong (as in, exist, not literally) male casts which provides more option for the characters to interact with each other. What can I say? I love peaceful shows including this anime. It is easy to go with. I would recommend this Anime, especially for those who have completed watching/reading Nichijou, Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge, Asobi Asobase, or any combination of them.

Man, this was HILARIOUS. Some moments had me in actual tears, it was so funny. You know you've done a great job when the viewer has a feeling of sadness at the end of the show, because they are going to miss the cast. And that's exactly how Joshikousei no Mudazukai made me feel when it ended. I am really going to miss these girls if they don't come out with a season 2. If you enjoyed anime like Nichijou, Setokai Yakuindomo or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, you more than likely will really enjoy this anime. As the title suggests, it just follows the random happenings of high school girls. The trio of stars here are the aspiring BL Mangaka, Wota (Akane), The stoic and almost android like Robo (Shiori), and the mentally retarded goofball, Tanaka (Baka). These three have some of the best comedic chemistry I've seen together as MC's in a while. But, far and away, the best character was Baka (Tanaka). She was just stone cold hilarious. She's the funniest idiot I've seen since Yoshiko Hanabatake from Aho-Girl. (Another anime you should check out. Criminally underrated for how funny it is.). Surrounding them are your usual cast of weirdos. The Tomboy (Kanade), the Occult Hikki (Hisui), The Grade-Schooler (Saku), The Chuunibyou (Yamamoto), The beautiful foreign transfer student, (Lily) and the teacher that tries to keep them all under control. (Masataka). Of this cast of supporting characters, Lily and Yamamoto stand out the most. They were the funniest characters behind Baka. (If you don't watch this anime for anything else, watch it for the moment when Lily meets Kanade's mom. I laughed for 5 minutes straight.) But the entire cast is solid. They're all funny and likable. I particularly loved Yamamoto's interactions with Masataka. The anime is a sketch comedy format, that just follows them from gag to gag, doing random things that high school girls do. Hanging out, shopping, going to the movies, studying, etc... And you would think that sounds boring, but it is most certainly not. The level of comedic dialogue is top notch, and keeps everything extremely entertaining, because very few of the jokes do you see coming. The writing is fantastic in that while using a lot of cliched character archetypes, they took great care not to rehash all of the same jokes you find in other anime of its ilk. (There are a few, but not many. You don't find yourself watching a carbon copy of Zetsubou Sayonara Sensei or Haganai, even though a lot of the same character types are used there.). Sharp writing, great cast chemistry, fantastic comedic timing, and absolutely no poorly executed melodrama to drag it down at the end, makes this a wonderful anime to check out. Oh and special thumbs up to that ridiculous catchy OP. I'm probably going to be singing "Moon Dass Cry" for months. Either that, or saying: "Hey, can I say something amazing?". Great anime. Watch it!

I loved this anime. If you have watched Daily Lives of High School Boys, you would love this. If you haven't I also recommend that, but currently this is one of my favorites. It is such an amazing anime where I wished I had friends and the humor is also really good. If you like lighthearted, relatable and heartwarming anime, I highly recommend this. It is very funny and I wish that this had a season 2. Definitely going to try buy the manga and would always watch/read this when I feel down. Such a comfort anime. The art style is pretty good and is nice. The characters are likable, and are relatable in many ways (varies from person). The story is like the title and sometimes it's pretty realistic. Except if you ignore the effects. I think it's a show that many people would enjoy. Don't mind the rating if you think that's a bad rating. Trust the show and watch it. Definitely underrated.

Joshikousei no Mudazukai (2019) This anime by far is the comedy of the year. Kaguya-sama was very close but this show is just hilarious all the way through. Primarily about three girls and their high school experiences but you also get a good fill of the supporting cast to make it feel like a mass of main characters. The art of the series is great and is really satisfying to watch. The show does a really good job with attention to detail. The OP for the series is really good and enjoyable to listen to each time. The ED is also very nice to listen too. Throughout the show, the sound effects are very good and fitting at every turn. Characters are developed fairly heavily throughout the show. They get good segments to explain personalities in much more detail. It would have been nice on a personal standpoint to get to know more about Yamamoto because she is a really interesting character. Enjoyment as a whole is absolutely 10/10 since the show is so funny and varied throughout. The little things like how the OP splits the characters into groups that define the main set, 'weird ones' and others as such. Overall this is the best comedy of 2019 thus far. It will take a lot to change that based on what is expected to come up. A season 2 would be deserving.

I'd technically give this a 7.5 The series is one of many highly underrated godlike comedies. Full of hilarious tropes and references and me myself couldn't help but cackle at this show's many jokes. The show started off with a bang and went into full throttle with its comedy, but as the series progresses it started falling flat as some of that golden comedy began to dissipate along with it. The series was fun in general but like how the characters get tired of the really obnoxious girl in thee series, I too kinda fell like she ran out of jokes to tell, and the comedy kinda shifted away from what it first appeared to be, a huge meta comedy on anime. The opening song also fell flat for me, it was just, really annoying. I know that we were supposed to focus more on the three main characters but I feel like we don't know them well enough by the end of the show; mostly because the supporting characters gets a lot of backstory, but even then there are times where the series just gets boring- and a god like comedy like this shouldn't get boring but it is; since, at a certain point, they start re-using jokes till they're not funny anymore.

7.8 score? Come on guys lets make this anime at least get 8.2 score lol. Im sure many of you longing for a good comedy show like this and its not easy to make an comedy anime thats actually funny that can make you laugh real hard. I hope there will be more anime like joshikousei in the future, at least one per season, well there are many anime with "cute girls doing cute things" theme every season but this anime is more than that its funny its really entertaining and it has some good slice of life moments. The character and the story are done really nicely, each character have some decent background story and it shows us how deep their friendship is. So i think the story is quite rich and i gotta give a plus point there. This anime is like in between danshi koukosei and asobi asobase, the story have its serious moments but it isnt gloomy at all and it will cheer you up surely. If you got a bad day watching this anime surely wont disappoint you. IMHO this is one of the best anime this season.

If you liked Daily Lives of High-school Boys, then Joushikousei I say is right up your alley in terms of comedy and its characters. The heart of the show is its comedy and the wacky to unique character or trope characters in the show. Even though the show kind of groups the characters in 3's they all somehow have good chemistry with one of another and different gag or bits will have them interacting with each other. You'll definitely will find a favorite character out of the whole class including their homeroom teacher; which i didn't expect to get some character 10/10 The show doesn't really have a story, just small section of character development, it just follow high-school girls and all the crazy and weird stuff that happens with each or and everyone of them. Its random from one episode to the next so you can drop into episode and it doesn't really continue from the last, if the lyrics of the shows opening doesn't clue you in enough then your in for a treat. it just follow high-school girls and all the crazy and weird stuff that happens with each or and everyone of them. 7/10 Art isnt spectacular but it isnt straight up garbage. The colour pallet is bright, guessing its a choice to contrast what most people think of girls being all innocent and what not. 7/10

A surprisingly fun to watch anime Filling in part the emptiness that left Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Joshikousei no Mudazukai (Wasteful Days of High School Girl) comes to present a slice of life comedy about a group of peculiar friends and how they spend their daily lives doing ridiculous stuff. One day, out of boredom, Tanaka decided to give her classmates a nickname based on their peculiarities. Her friend Sakuchi became "Ota" given her otaku interests, and her other friend Saginomiya became "Robo” due to her inexpressive personality. In retaliation, her friends decided to nickname her "Baka" for her notorious idiocy. From this event will begin this ridiculous story of three friends and their classmates who claim (but do not prove) to live up to the maturity of youth. Being one of those titles that I really did not expect or know anything before its premiere, Joshikousei no Mudazukai has ended up being, at least for me, one of the surprises of the past summer season, a work that from the outside would seem to be just another anime of cute girls doing cute things, but that already entering into it, proves to be a really competent comedy, being within this genre one of the most entertaining works with which I have had the opportunity to run into during the year of its broadcast. The anime is simply a school comedy, which leads us to witness the daily life of a picturesque and disparate group of young students from a high school for girls only. The work then has as its main protagonists a triad of friends conformed by Tanaka, an absolute idiot from head to toes full of energy that wants a boyfriend without trying anything to get it, Kikuchi, a future mangaka and fanatic of the yaoi, and Saginomiya, an inexpressive and intelligent young woman with great interest in the world of microorganisms. The anime then goes on how the relationship between these three friends and the conversations and situations unfolds, in many irrelevant and absurd cases that they end up constantly having, as well as their interactions with their teacher, a declared fan of university girls, and their others classmates, among which we find an innocent and short loli tsundere, a blonde with a serious case of chuunibyou, a mature and smart tomboy girl list somewhat obsessed with Robo, a beautiful student transferred with lesbian tendencies, and an adorable and shy fan of occultism and dark things, which together will give way to diverse and entertaining situations and interactions that will keep more than one entertained. Although I could not catalog the series in any way as an original work, since premises and characters of this style can be found in many other titles of the same tonic, that does not take away from the anime that it is a quite entertaining series and fun to follow, whose chemistry and interactions between its characters is its greatest strength, and which is seen inmediatly, being a very light title whose chapters passes quick before you know it. Visually speaking the series is competent but little else, the anime is not that it looks bad but it does not impress in any way, delivering a correct animation, attractive but not very striking character designs, and a background work that goes quite unnoticed. Likewise, its soundtrack is not that it attracts a lot of attention, passing under the radar and barely noticing that it is there, but I must comment that its opening song entitled, “Wa! Moon! Dass! Cry!” Turns out to be a song quite lively and visually appealing, in addition to being a total nonsense that has no meaningful lyrics, meanwhile the ending theme entitled "Seishun no Reverb", although much less striking is also quite pleasant to the ear. A work not too prominent and one could say that even inconsequential, but which definitely turns out to be an entertaining anime, which is perfect to spend a pleasant time without throwing a lot of brain. It is not the best school comedy out there, and it is one of those works that you will most likely forget within a few weeks or days of seeing it, but it is a fun title worth checking out, especially if you like seeing high school girls doing nonsense. It starts a little slow, but it is still a good comedy when it is already strong and introduces all its characters.

Near the end of every year I always end up picking up a show at the very last minute that I have somehow missed from the previous seasons for one reason or another. On a whim after listening to the immensely catchy OP, I decided to pick this up. And by doing so I narrowly avoided missing one of the best comedies of the year. From the moment I saw that the OP credits were diegetic I knew I was in for something special. Indeed, everything from the direction, editing, comedic timing, jokes, everything was somehow executed to a mirror polish. Having each episode rotate the spotlight between the various characters also did wonders in letting each and every character shine, not just by themselves, but with other characters, creating several character dynamics and chemistry that very few other comedies can pull off. There is a good balance of screentime and prominence for the main trio and the side characters, lending the show a greater sense of scale and truly makes the world feel alive without being bloated by one-note one-scene characters. The show is also extremely consistent in terms of quality, a rarity considering most comedies tend to dip in quality after the first few episodes once familiar territory sets in. And the fact that it managed to be surprisingly heartwarming near the tail end of the series is a testament to good writing and directing. I usually don't single this out, but the voice acting is absolutely superb in this. Everyone delivers a stellar performance that really sells the character they are portraying. Baka and Wota are absolutely the highlights of the series, with Baka's obnoxious idiot tomboy voice and Wota's dipping in and out of her tomboy voice and her girlier voice really demonstrating the vocal range of their seiyuu. It truly is spectacular just having a scene with either of these two in. I missed this show because a few other shows with a similar style and setting (JKs) were airing and my mind assumed they were all similar. Don't do that. Go and watch this gem of a show. The humor is wacky yet grounded without being too over-the-top and the voice acting truly elevates this beyond its source material. Now go Moon Dass Cry Everyday, because Anything Okay Every Day! 8/10

Do you like generic slice of life school girls? Do you want a doze of this, but don't want to rewatch something you have already seen? Rejoice, my friend, cause this is exactly what you were looking for! So about this anime: -story: as stock as it gets, high school girls living their lives, cracking jokes and being, well, high school girls -art&sound: it is there, looks ok but nothing stellar -characters: it is your well established set of every possible trope - you have a stupid girl, a smart girl, a loli, a beauty, a tomboy and so on, and so forth. Those characters don't subvert expectations and act exactly as you expect them to act. I can say that they somewhat have progress in what they are doing, but they don't change a lot. -enjoyment: while everything above sounds as uninspired as it could be, it still has a good dose of humor in it, so it wasn't a bad experience, though it wasn't a notably good one either. Overall: generic but fun, recommended if you want a JK comedy, not recomended if you want something original.

"Hey, can I say something amazing right now?" Ah, the adventures of Wota, Robo, and the lovable idiot Baka. This was another anime that surprised me this Summer season. I added it to my Plan to Watch rather late, maybe a week before the first episodes of Summer started, and I'm super glad I did. This anime, had me laughing out loud an awful lot, and it's always a nice change of pace, to have something just goofy every once in a while. Story: Well, this is a slice of life, following a classroom of an all girls school, when our main hero, Tanaka, decides that everyone needs a nickname in the class. Wota, Robo, Baka, Loli, Yamai, Majime, Majo, and even their professor, "Waseda". The story more or less, doesn't carry over between episodes, and generally is a different adventure for the group with each episode, not that it takes away from how damn funny it is. Art: The art is okay, nothing too crazy, the characters have their own unique personality, even if they aren't overly detailed, or crazy looking. Same goes for the animation. It's there, it gets the job done, but nothing too outlandish there. Sound: Uuuuwa! Moon! Das! Cry! I love the OP for this. I love how the characters of the classroom are the ones singing, and any time they provided english subtitles for the OP, I found myself musing over how ridiculous they were. That aside. The voice acting was solid. Robo was emotionless, Baka sounded look a goofball and a moron, Loli sounded like a child, and Wota, sounded normal- with a hint of boylove addiction. Characters: This was the strongest point of the anime for me. I loved each and every character. They steadily introduced new ones throughout the anime, each with their own unique personalities. Whether it was Lily, who was allergic to boys (and Tanaka), or Majo and her witchcraft, there was always a quirk. Not to mention Yamamoto, who, for a lack of better terms, is the princess of the dragon clan, or somethin like that. Enjoyment: This was a refreshing anime. I enjoyed it thoroughly, for multiple reasons. My Fridays this season were loaded with big-name super serious animes, and it was always nice to end it off, with something light hearted like this, where I could just laugh, and smile. Overall: 8/10. Was struggling to decide between 7 or 8, because of the fact that it does indeed lack seriousness, but, I came back to thinking about how much I actually enjoyed it, and looked forward to it, and that gave it the bump to an 8 for me.

This show is gold Probably one of the best comedies I've watched so far Got me laughing at every turn, every episode, every part It's just that hilarious It didn't really had a story but the pacing was done pretty well nevertheless I would recommend this show to literally anyone no matter what. I can't see how you can not enjoy this. From this season.. It's probably the most underrated show and I'm surely going to miss this. It gave some hints that there is still material for a second season and while I really hope for it, I'm not so sure because, as mentioned, this was pretty underrated. At least here on mal?

Okay, so after a long and stressed week you just want to relax on your weekend in your house. Then watch this anime. Made out of pure comedy this anime can relief all your tension . You can see cute girls doing cute things or pointless things in many pointful ways. No story, no pain in the ass character only comedy and relaxation.I was actually a fan of comedy or spice of life type relaxing animes, so it was a treasure for me. They also visualizes great example of friendship here. If we talk about opening and ending songs, those are also great.

Sometimes, you don't need to do anything fancy. Just make everything well, and you can turn up something amazing in its own right. Joshikousei doesn't do anything crazy, but everything is well made. Dialogue, characters, art and sound are all pretty good. I was actually pretty surprised at the soundtrack--nothing crazy amazing, but certainly for a comedy anime, top quality. OP and ED are also enjoyable, and I found Teishoku-P to be pretty good, it was probably the least expected place I thought Volcaloid would be played, honestly. I'd say that the story arcs and dialogue are well constructed, and carry the anime to great heights. None of them are particularly bad, and the interactions are quite well made and pique your interest, even though the situations are typical slice of life. That being said, the reason why this is an 8, and not, lets say, a 9 out of 10 is because of the characters. The main cast is amazing, but some of the side cast and characters are really gimmicky and one dimensional. Robo, Baka, Ninomae, Wota, Yamai, and Waseda are fun characters to watch in action. While you wouldn't call them extremely unique, they fit in their niches and aren't characters you can predict to what they would say, and they can fit in a lot of different dialogues, environments, and interactions with other characters. Then you have Saku, Lily, and Majo, on the other hand, are pretty much one-liner characters. They're pretty predictable, it even shows with how they interact with in terms of the rest of the cast. They are restricted to talking to a few select people, and how they even became on talking terms is also not exactly established either. It's a hit or miss when those characters are part of the focal point in the "skits," stories, whatever you want to call them. On the other hand, what I would consider the "good" cast usually won't disappoint. I think it is a little nitpicky, because I still enjoy more than half the cast, but I just wish that there were less archetypal characters. Yamai is enjoyable because of the way the author presents herself in situations, but she too, is quite a trope in these types of shows. I wished that the cast was smaller, and focused on the main cast. I mean, Asobi Asobase had only 3 main cast and few side characters, yet it managed to pull it off brilliantly. While I wouldn't just want 3 characters in Joshikousei, I would want a more concentrated focus. Overall, a great show for comedy and laughs. As a person whose favorite genre is comedy, I was too easily taken in by this show.

Honestly, with this last season of Anime, I have been really impressed. I have found so many shows that are fantastic in their own way, and I'll tell you what this show is no exception, It has so many things going for it. Honestly, I absolutely love the random humour these types of shows present and the little in-jokes they create and call back on. The characters feel really well written which is amazing since some story heavy shows can't even do that right. if you've seen any of the pictures you already know the character designs are fantastic and they theirs a wide variety of character types which all have their own sense of humour and way of dealing with situations. I would honestly love to give some examples from the show but that would ruin it. one thing I think worth mentioning is that people sometimes don't give these shows enough chance to grow on them, honestly, you may need to give it a few episodes and ready your funny bone since we do have a story here but we need to focus more on the haha's then the what's next. Unfortunately much like any Japanese comedy, some jokes will go over some viewers heads since they are based on word puns which require knowledge of Japanese, though for the most jokes your safe. I've really enjoyed my time with this show and I definitely want a second season. I would happily rewatch this if ya got some spare time and you wanna laugh give it a shot.
