Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai

{ My goal is to write reviews that don't take much time to read, yet get the point across, as well as being as spoiler-free as possible. Please be assured that you will learn nothing you can't already read in the synopsis unless mentioned priorly } I really enjoyed this anime! The story was more entertaining than I originally thought it would be. The way they were able to do a high school romance anime without it having a tonne of cliches was nice. It's very refreshing to watch the genre you enjoy while every story still being different and Ao-chan can't study pulled it off really well! I'd say there wasn't something big happening in the art. I didn't much CGI being used which is nice to see. The voice actors and sound effects were normal as well. I particularly loved the characters. I was taken by surprise when Ao was the dirty one since I didn't read the synopsis. The interactions between Ao and Takumi were very fun to watch and I very much enjoyed looking at them talking to each other. Overall, a very fun romance anime. I would certainly recommend this one to anyone who wants a romance anime with a twist, not so much of a family anime though.

This show is a romantic comedy with a focus on ero, but surprisingly without much ecchi. It is about Ao-chan, the tsuntsuntsundere daughter of an erotic novel author, who wants to live alone for university and thus needs to study hard. But, a kind handsome fellow in her class has fallen for her, and is distracting her from studying. The majority of the show is basically one long misunderstanding. Ao has deep-seated psychological problems. She misunderstands and/or makes assumptions about her courter (Takumi) constantly, is usually wrong, and never learns from it. Furthermore, she assumes that he is thinking a certain way, repeatedly castigates him for it (wrongly and incorrectly), and YET in multiple situations, she EXPECTS him to act/think that way - and castigates him for NOT doing so. Essentially, she is a classic tsundere, but with an extra dose of hypocrisy and an inordinately impressive ability to avoid expressing her actual thoughts/feelings. You just feel pity for the poor man: his behaviour is almost entirely above reproach, and yet he is constantly being rebuked and rejected. She wants to reject and throw him away - and then she wants him; she wants him to leave her alone - but then gets unhappy when he does; she wants him to make a move on her - yet reacts negatively when he does; she clearly likes him and he has clearly stated his feelings for her - but she refuses to express her feelings in spoken words. This is asylum-worthy behaviour. Separately, some people seemingly found the dad annoying, but he was alright. Certainly less annoying than the WTF behaviour of his daughter. Why is he a micro-chibi gnome-like creature (a fact that no one seems to comment on)? No idea. As for the male man, I actually liked him; he seemed like a nice guy. I even sympathized a little with Ao's friend-enemy rival, who directly tells her how annoying her behaviour is (lol), though she is kind of a weirdly cardboard character. It kind of felt like she was there just to make Ao feel superior (since Ao can have everything she wants, with no effort - but doesn't even care about it). Anyway, here's my classification: - Moe: sometimes Ao is a kawaii but this is drowned in instability and tsun - Comedy: moderate - Drama: plenty - Action: none - Romance: that's the story - Harem: none - Ecchi: little I will say that there were plenty of moments where I laughed, so the comedy is not a complete fail. And, if Ao actually acted like a reasonable person to the poor guy, she could have been a very likable character. Her art and design (and basically nobody else's) were very well done, I think. I've placed the drama high because the story introduces characters to get in the way of the mains (partly via misunderstandings of course), and just generate jealousy between them, in addition to Ao's unpredictable moodiness. One thing that surprised me was the lack of ecchi - calling this a shounen, ecchi anime (as MAL has placed it, genre-wise), is honestly inaccurate. Just because a show has erotic themes and premises, or discusses such subject matter, does not make it an ecchi show: ecchi usually implies light-hearted visual fanservice, and erotically but not emotionally charged situations. Adult anime with straight-up $ex scenes are not necessarily ecchi anime, for instance. While this show does have some ecchi elements (mostly in Ao's fantasies, which she wants to come true but also doesn't[??]), they are usually extremely short-lived scenes or even just briefly flashed, literal still images. Ao gets into a bikini and a tight "teacher's cosplay", but this fanservice is quite short. I think it would be easier for this show to go a bit further and simply be a hentai, than it would for it to be classified as ecchi, to me personally. But no doubt many would disagree. (I might just be spoiled by all the great ecchi fanservice shows I've seen over the last several years.) I should also mention that there is significant character and relationship progression during the show, especially for Ao. However, she never really fixes her severe personality flaws (of which at multiple points in the story she herself is aware). The male main doesn't change much, though our perception of him does. Overall, while this is an amusing show with nice art that I got a few laughs out of, I wouldn't rewatch it. Ao's tsun personality, her forced drama-inducing behaviour, her constant unpredictable emotional seesawing, her borderline abusive treatment of someone who loves her... I suspect this show is either written by a woman or aimed at women who like to fantasize about having a kind, handsome man who only cares about her and doggedly pursues her, no matter how much she rejects and slaps him away (even while other, less abusive women aggressively pursue them). There's nothing wrong with that, of course, it's just that you should know what it is before you watch it! It is certainly not the simple ecchi comedy I was hoping for. It is closer to a romantic drama with a female high-tsun-low-dere main, plus some comedic elements. I also noticed the show tries too hard (especially near the beginning) to be "realistic", raunchy, and edgy, which was as cringy as the forced drama and teen angst to me. I guess I just don't find that kind of thing interesting or funny, but I suspect there are many who might enjoy it.

overall: 7.3 for this anime Well to be honest im not to enjoy watch this anime, but man, the story is not to complicated, i love the character design, this anime actually little unique rather than another school and ecchi anime. if they have a little bit longer episode maybe the story gonna be great, but in the end, i apreciate the staff and creator of this anime. yea u can't expect much from anime that has romance, comedy, and school genre, they have same background, school, home, mall, beach so just enjoy it. and maybe u can learn that love is a thing that can change you from your original life, love not mean that u need to do something 18+. But love is when you can understand each other.

since this show is over i can finally write a review XD i’m gonna start off by saying i had rlly low exceptions for this show as it thought it was gonna be another trashy show with unnecessary ecchi and shit romance but i was wrong. ao chan can’t study was definitely guilty pleasure this season, i looked forward to every episode and was very curious about what would happen next that i read the manga :,) the humour and ecchi in this show are mostly from ao’s imagination as she tends to overthink and overanalyse things. she believes that takumi is a devious, sex-crazed individual who only wants to stick the d in her. as the show goes on she starts to have desires as she thinks takumi is a sex craved individual but in reality he is naive and pure. and in my opinion that’s when the down side of this anime falls in. Since most of the comedy comes from misunderstandings, things get really repetitive and take you out of the show. It gets to the point where it becomes frustrating and annoying but ao and kijima’s relationship does move on and develop at the end. i really love the op and the ed, imo it’s one of my favourites this season as they are super catchy. i overall rate this show a 7/10 and i recommend this if ur looking for a lighthearted ecchi romcom. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Story: Had a pretty basic romance story to it but I really liked the whole "dad" backstory and how he affected her life in his workspace. Other than that the romance was pretty basic, the only downside being the kiss took until the very last episode which I hate lol. Art: The animation/art in the show is good, avg for more recent shows. This isn't at demon slayer level but also isn't as low as Seven Deadly Sins lol so it's pretty good ig. Good enough for a romance show at least. Sound: Oh boy the intro and outro for this show is a BANGER. I listened to every episode's intro and outro it's so good. Character: You already know I'm gonna be talking about the dad here. WHY IS HE SO SHORT?! Like I never understood it lol it was so hilarious and perfect at the same time for what he does for a living. I would love to watch a whole side series for just that guy he was probably my favorite thing about the show aside from just the last episode along lmao. Enjoyment: I think my overall enjoyment would have to be just "good". It had the beach episode and the sports festival and the haunted house cliche every romcom usually has so I can't really complain. Overall: Well to put it all together I liked this show, it was simple, sweet, and super short so I finished this all in one night. I think everyone who watches romance animes should definitely give it a go!

This is a slice of life, following the quiet, anti-social Ao Horie who only focuses on studying and having a hatred for men due to their horny nature. Though when a popular and friendly Takumi Kajimi takes a interest in her, her world gets thrown for a loop! This is a very pure and wholesome anime, apart from the man child of a dad. I really enjoyed this, because as it does have lewd parts, fan service and a overall theme of sex and losing your virginity; there's a wholesomeness that these two have never really experienced love from another. I had a love, hate relationship with Ao, I can understand how she's grown to hate men, as she's only seen them in a sexual light from her father. But the acts when she would reject Takumi, him being a good guy and accepting it, and then getting upset when he stayed away from her like she asked him to do. It's the equivalent of a girl saying she's down to eat anywhere, you take her somewhere and she gets upset that you didn't pick a different place. But other than that, I found her innocence and somewhat overthinking entertaining to watch. Takumi has to be my favourite character in this anime, hands down. He's a respectful guy, even though he's fallen for Ao, and keeps getting rejected and a million mixed signals from her. He never gets upset at her for not fully understanding her feelings, or wanting to prioritize studying to get into a good university over having a relationship. I love being able to see him get all shy and flustered when with Ao, or talking with friends about how inexperienced he really is, going against the normal stereotype for him. Overall, I found this anime really funny, wholesome and enjoyable. Apart from the father, who I could care less of his character, as I felt the only times I could bare to see him on screen is when he was actually talking seriously and not in his child-whining voice. I would give this a 8/10 just because I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The 12 minute episodes helped keep my attention, and they never dragged any scenes on for too long, everything really did seem believable, and just a nice, calming slice of life romance!

Sometimes its great to switch your brain off and simply watch the pretty colours on your screen. Ao-chan can’t study is a bit like that. It has no depth, no intellectual capital to draw you in, no sotry depth, it is not a show to think about, but just watch and be entertained. And it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than that. The series provides all the typical hallmarks of a show designed to appeal to the young male - bikini’s, people in various states of undress, awkward inappropriate touches and a blossoming love overlaid with sexual tension. Just the thing for filling in a couple of free hours. This series had me wondering what kept me watching and not switching off as I have done with some series (Conception I’m looking at you). Simply put – its like any junk food craving – you don’t have to like all types of junk food and know it is bad for you, yet you still crave it. The craving desired by the caudate nucleus and satisfied through bursts of serotonin and dopamine due to the erotic visual stimuli is something I know I need from time to time. A break if you will from the often serious nature of reality. But I digress. The main protagonist Ao Horie is a girl conflicted. She is conflicted about her sexual desire which she been repressed due to the overt sexual nature displayed by her father. And conflicted by her desire to explore her repressed sexuality. Ao has a very immature approach to love and sex and despite purportedly being well read on the subject thanks to her father, lacks the proper emotional capital and maturity to explore said emotions. The love interest, Takumi Kijima, is about as 2D and wooden as you can get. He has no real personality, no background, no story and no development. He decides he loves Ao, and pursues her relentlessly, despite there being no chemistry between the two, no initial give and take to spark a connection. The relationship seemed very forced between the two, but despite that there will still moments of humor and I did want to stick around to see what happens. I think it also helped the episodes were only around 10 minutes in length – a typical junk food snacking time. So ultimately while I may disagree with the way in which Ao was portrayed (I thought it was unnecessary for her studies to suffer) and tough to watch Ao’s dreams slowly shift from focus and success to fulfilling carnal desire, it was entertaining. I enjoyed (albeit while cringing) the interactions between the two main characters and wanted to stick around to see if they started at third base or first. I thought the artwork for Ao was cute too – and that helped immensely. So would I recommend this? Well while this is a middle of the road anime, it is not without entertainment value. As long as you don’t expect more from it than what it offers, Ao can’t study is not a complete waste of two hours.

It can be a pain when you’re distracted from something you’ve been trying to put all of your focus on, but it’s even more of a pain when it’s your own thoughts that are distracting you. Trust me; I know from experience. I’m sure there is a certain anime girl who can vouch for me, with her sexual thoughts about a certain guy in her life, among other things, causing a distraction for her. I first became aware of the anime that this girl is in when it was still just a manga; I randomly read a few chapters of it and didn’t really think much of it, not expecting that this completely random manga would one day get an anime adaptation, even if it was a short one. Since it did, however, I decided to give it a try. Lads, ladies, and non-binaries, I give you my review for the anime that shows us why Ao-chan Can’t Study! (No, really, that’s what the anime is called. It’s “Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai” in Japanese, though.) Ao-chan Can’t Study follows Ao Horie, a high school girl who hates her name and the fact that her father is an erotic fiction author. (“Make an AO face!” is what is referred to when it comes to why her father chose her name, although it is true that “ao” is actually Japanese for “blue”.) Desperate to go to a good university and get away from her father, she throws herself into her studies and avoids pretty much everything else, including boys. Enter Takumi Kijima, Ao’s classmate who just so happens to have a crush on her. Ao is unable to shake him off and finds herself constantly interpreting Kijima’s intentions as perverted. I guess her father’s influence really got to her, huh? Anyway, this anime follows the misunderstandings and awkward situations that Ao and Kijima get involved in. I’m just going to say it right now; do NOT watch this anime if you’re not into raunchy anime at all. Although it’s not as bad as anime like Shimoneta, there’s no question that this anime is cock-full - er, I mean chock-full - of dirty jokes. That said, though, the comedy is rather hit-or-miss; sometimes, it can make me at least close to laughing, and other times, it can just make me want to slap my forehead out of pure frustration. Comedy aside, the story can be quite predictable; if you’ve seen enough romantic comedies, raunchy or not, there is a chance that you’ll be able to predict what is going to happen. As for the characters....well, my thoughts on them are kind of complicated, especially when it comes to our leading lady, Ao Horie. On one hand, even if it has a tendency to waver, I admire her determination to get into a good university and achieve independence, but on the other hand, the fact that she always sees Kijima’s intentions in a perverted light, especially when they’re actually really pure, just makes me want to slap her. Her father is also someone I sometimes want to slap; he can be quite annoying, and it’s understandable that Ao doesn’t want to live under the same roof as him for any longer than she needs to. At the same time, however, there are times where it’s clear that he genuinely cares about Ao and wants the best for her, which is why I can’t really hate him. Oh, I haven’t mentioned Kijima yet, have I? I like seeing how much Kijima really cares about Ao, but other than that, nothing about his character really stands out that much. The side characters aren’t really that interesting, either. Now, Silver Link has done some excellent animation work over the years, and Ao-chan Can’t Study is no exception. No, it’s not the best animation I’ve ever seen, but the bright colors and character designs can be quite appealing. The voice acting is rather good, too; this is my first time hearing Azumi Waki’s voice acting, but if the way she conveyed Ao’s emotions is any kind of reflection of how she normally does as a voice actress, I look forward to watching other anime she voice acted in and hearing her voice. The first few seconds of the opening theme, “WONDERFUL WONDER” by EDOGA-SULLIVAN, is something that I swear reminds me of another song, but I can’t really think of what that song is; that aside, it’s a good song, although not one that I’d listen to on repeat. I feel the same way about the ending theme, “Koi wa Miracle” by Spira Spica, except without the “reminds me of another song” part. After Ao-chan Can’t Study came out, I happened to find many people who loved it and many people who hated it; as for me, I’d say that I’m in the middle. This wouldn’t be my first recommendation if you asked me to recommend a raunchy anime, but no one’s going to kill you for watching it. That is, if you don’t have any studying that you should be doing instead....

I sometimes don't get it why I already full know well about this anime and I still watched it till finish. I mean even Ao-chan more hentai than the Kijima, which I think I like her because is a bit realistic. More girl complications and more misunderstanding, Ao-chan sugar daddy is complete little hentai daddy. When i see the her dad ate the pudding shape like a breast, I was like wao okay... Kijima kijima kijima is more like her ideal boyfriend innocent, virgin and kind of all man, is just so perfect. Hentai involvement definitely like 60-70 percent overall. However, I am still able to give myself time to watch it, still okay and acceptable for 12-13 minutes. If you like to eat sweet and chocolate for short, this anime might be for you to kill some time. Story: 7 Art: 7 Sound: 6.2 Character: 7 Enjoyment: 7.8 Overall: 7.0 (okay/nice)

I went in expecting little more than a guilty pleasure and came out pleasantly surprised. The ecchi you'd expect from the premise does exist, but it mostly takes a backseat to developing the relationship between Ao & Kijima. The relationship between the two is developed well throughout the series, especially with the contrast between the horniness Ao usually expects from Kijima and his reluctance to deliver on expectations. The side characters are enjoyable as well, though Ao's dad comes off as a prick in the first episode; he gets better, though. In short, it's a solid rom-com with a heavier dose of nut material than usual. I recommend watching if the premise interests you.

First things first you need to know: Intro is (to quote a youtuber) banger, and this anime is 12 episodes and each ep is about 12 mins with a full 1:20 intro and outro. So if u dont mind the short eps lets move on. This show is a romantic comedy and covers the start of the relationship between the MC and "the king of Normies". I wont go into the plot because this website already gives it to you so im moving on. STORY is pretty good and covers their relationship realistically and hilariously. ART is also good or better said average or above average whitch i personally think the best parts are the colorful faces and eyes. SOUND is good and as i said the intro is banger. CHARACTERS are entertaining and funny. From Ao's overly sexual thoughts and misunderstanding of the things around her to her love interest being very.... Normie and pure. The love interest later begins to take the lead in the later portion of the anime. The MC's father is a midget that writes erotic novels and his voice changes from a slightly unbearable squeeky man voice to a hilarious deep one. Theres a couple side characters that do their side characters job well as swell. If you want a short romantic comedy that doesnt fall into the romance cliches of them fighting over stupid things every five chapters then go ahead and check this out.

This season was the season of high school and short anime, particularly, I watched 5 or even more and this one of the most surprised me, main character a bit crazy, a hero totally basic but maintaining its importance in history, being respectful and good people. I think that if we could choose a manual for teenagers to act in school, this anime would be perfect, because basically it portrays the life of teenager in the flower of the skin having his first contact with the world of the romance, logico that we have the great plot of the profession of the father of Ao which makes all events much more antagonistic to the protagonist and much funnier for all of us.

"Ao-chan Can't Study!" is very similar to "Ane Log: Big Sister Moyako's Never-ending Monologue" In that its about a girl who misinterprets everything the male protagonist does as being sexually motivated. Ao Horie's father is an erotica writer, and a pervert. Ao-chan's name was even inspired by a perverted expression. Ao-chan wants to distance herself from her father's life style as much as possible. So she overcompensates to the point where she avoids boys entirely. However this is going to be a bit more difficult now since her classmate Takumi Kijima has confessed to her. Now every time Kijima tries to talk or interact with her she has these monologues in her head and imagines all the sexually perverted things she's afraid of him doing to her. I really love this setup. Like Moyako from Ane Log I find Ao-chan to be a very entertaining character. I just love the way these characters create these crazy scenarios in their heads. Its very funny and very adorable.

This anime is the first one I have watched in quite a while. I decided to binge the English dub of it this afternoon (since it's so short). The following is a brief review. Story: 6 - Nothing spectacular here. It's your basic high school rom-com story. It was an overall cute story about a high school girl growing up and realizing her feelings for a boy, even if her past caused her to misconstrue many different things that Kijima said or did. Overall, while not amazing, the story served its purpose. Art: 8 - I enjoyed the art overall. Ao is a very pretty girl and is presented as such throughout the show. The art also supported some of the ecchi moments that appeared in the show. The environments were nothing special, but the lighting and atmosphere of some scenes made the scene better in my opinion, especially in the final episode. Sound: 7 - There's not much I can say about the sound. The English Dub for the characters was good. The music was average, and the sound effects were relatively normal. Not much else to say. Character: 7 - I enjoyed seeing the characters on screen. Ao and Kijima are a cute couple and have great chemistry. Unfortunately, Ao was unable to break out of the past that she grew up in (with a perverted father and all that), and her character wasn't able to build as a result. I also wish that the episodes were a bit longer, so more character development could occur. I expect that I will not remember much of this anime in a few weeks since none of the characters were very engaging. I did enjoy Kijima's character far more than I expected to, though. While Ao expected him to be a pervert and act like every other male anime protagonist ever, he was actually just a normal boy who liked a cute girl from his class. I felt as if I could relate to him in his struggle to get together with Ao, as it was a long and very difficult process. Ao was a cute character, even if she didn't have much character development. Enjoyment: 8 - Even with its flaws, I enjoyed my time with the show. I do not expect that I will remember it later, as I had said before, but for the few hours I spent with it, it was a funny and enjoyable ride. Overall: 7 - I think this a good show. It didn't blow me away, but it made me feel good for the short time I spent watching it. If you have some time to kill, this show is a good way to spend an afternoon or evening.

Story 7/10 Simple but fun story Ao Horie has always wanted to escape the influence of her father an erotic author who has on multiple occasions embarrassed her in public with his perverted ways she dedicates herself to study in hope that she could get into a national university and move away from her father. Her plans receive a major setback when another student Takumi Kijima who she considers a normie confesses to her despite not wanting to get into a relationship or be influenced by her father she soon sees that the influence of her father has had an impact on her mind and that her feelings for Kijima is going to make it very hard to study. At 12 minutes per episode the show is well placed with some enjoyable and humorous little stories in each episode. Art 7/10 I liked the art style here I though the characters looked good and fit the tone of the show. Sound 8/10 Excellent and really catchy OP mixed with some good quality voice acting. Characters 7/10 I liked the characters here Ao is one of those characters that are held back by a reluctance to express her feelings this makes it harder for her to firstly establish her relationship with Kijima and secondly to concentrate on her studies if she just told Kijima her feelings she would be so much better off although the way she is as a character makes for some humorous and entertaining moments. Kijima is also a good character although he has confessed his feelings to Ao he lacks assertiveness and is too kind at times to Ao who needs a much needed push to move ahead in her life. The support characters are also good from Ao’s perverted father to the girl Miyabi who is in love with Kijima and considers Ao a rival for his love. Enjoyment 7/10 A fun and entertaining show that is easy to watch with its short runtime and featuring some humorous moments. Overall 7/10

Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai é um anime que realmente gosto,é uma historia curta e com poucos eps,mas que particulamente recomendo,mesmo querendo que a historia fosse mais longa imagino que talvez se fosse maior estragaria... A historia tem personagens até que ¨interessantes¨ como a protagonista Horie, Ao que cresceu com um pai pervetido que escreve historias eróticas,e meio que assim desenvolve varios medos,e uma relação ruim com o pai,e ao longo da historia ela transforma esse medo em algo positivo,e assim melhorando sua relação com o pai,e desenvolve sentimentos por Kijima, Takumi que a ajuda com seus medos e aversãos ao desensolar da historia Eu particulamente não gostei do final,não acho que foi um final horrivel,mas também não foi um final bom, foi algo bem + ou - mas mesmo assim recomendo,Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai é um anime bom que vc consegue assistir em só um dia,e imagino que a maioria iria gostar dele. minha nota total é 7/10 :)

Very funny and wholesome at the same time! It has some ecchi but the main story does not focus about that at all. ♥ I liked this anime because it's relatable in this time and age where it became normal for people to do *lewd* things with each other. This anime conveys that not all people are like that. Some people just genuinely care for you and wants the best for you, even studying! It makes you realize that genuine love can be defined in a whole different perspective. :) It's a FRESH LOVE STORY. Totally recommend it! I laughed in every episode. Plus the opening and ending song is so catchy. I never skipped the "Wonderful Wonder" opening. It's a bop! :-) I'm rewatching this.

Ao-chan Can't Study is simple and a bit predictable.... It's really fun. The story isn't new. A girl tries to study but gets distracted.. It works because its fast funny and doesn't waste time. The short episodes help. The art style fits the tone. It's clean, expressive and great for her thoughts. That's where the show shines. Ao-chan carries the anime. She's dramatic, flawed and relatable, in a way. The male lead is sweet which balances things out. Her childhood friend though... I don't like her. She's clingy and annoying. Every time she shows up it's much. The characters react in ways that feel real even if the situations are big. Overall it's a easy romance comedy. If you like this kind of thing you'll enjoy it. It's not amazing.... It's entertaining.. Sometimes that's enough.

Started the anime out of curiosity but tbh I liked it yeah it might have a very common story nothing special but it was funny and the echhi part was good enough to enjoy Sad part is there is no sequal not even an OVA or ONA or TV Special, and the manga is too short so ig that would have been the reason for it not getting a sequal and the story ended with no conclusion but, Ao getting " F " grade in all subjects which wasn't an appropriate ending according to me . But anyways Shows like " Ao-chan Can't Study! " are kinda hidden gems to someone like me Shows which only get 1 season but feels like a desperate need of a sequal even after years of release !

I'm not gonna lie, I went into Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai expecting some trashy humor and fanservice. But what I got was an anime that's genuinely hilarious, relatable, and even heartfelt at times. Ao-chan's imagination is basically me in high school - perpetually horny, yet trying to be a good guy. I died laughing every time she'd get caught up in her own naughty thoughts. And Takumi-senpai? He's the man, bro! But what really surprised me was how invested I got in their relationship. The last few episodes had me shipping them so hard, I was basically screaming at my screen for them to confess already! Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Some jokes fall flat, and the pacing can be wonky at times. But honestly, the good far outweighs the bad. The last episode was a nice epilogue, but it feels a bit rushed. I wanted more Ao-chan and Takumi! All in all, Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai's a guilty pleasure I'm not ashamed to admit. It's hilarious, heartwarming, and even a little bit naughty. If you're looking for a lighthearted anime with some serious laughs, give it a shot. P.S. Can we please get a season 2? I need more Ao-chan and Takumi in my life, bro!
