Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi

tl;dr: A pretty great light hearted rom-com about working adults. This anime is a very character focused show that’s mainly about Igarashi and her senpai at work, Takeda. Igarashi is downright tiny and she hates being treated like a child so she’s pretty prickly. Despite that, she’s often really childish. Takeda is huge, jolly, and really dense so he often ends up dealing with Igarashi as if she were a kid. As such, the two of them didn’t get along at all at first. However, over time they got very good at working together and got much closer at a personal level as well. The anime isn’t solely about these two however, as it spends quite a bit of time focusing on people they’re friends with. For example, there’s a budding workplace romance going on between two of their coworkers, Sakurai and Kazuma. Igarashi’s best friend Kurobe also shows up quite often and helps push Igarashi along. And then there are a bunch of other characters that just randomly appear for comedic purposes, like the mysterious Mona or Igarashi’s grandpa. The anime I guess is somewhat romance focused I guess. There does seem to be somewhat of a romance blooming between Igarashi and Takeda. Though, the trajectory the romance seems to be moving in is of two friends that are growing so close that they’ll probably just start going out eventually. As such, it’s not all that romantic yet per se. Still, it’s nice to see the two get closer and Igarashi grow into a more capable individual. They’re both really fun characters that are even more fun when together. The romance between Sakurai and Kazama is much more of the typical romance. It’s a romance between one of the most popular women in their work group and a guy that’s supposed to be somewhat nerdy, so it plays a bit with the standard associated tropes and such. Still, it flows pretty well and overall I thought it was quite sweet. Moreso than the previously mentioned pair, you’ll probably want these two to just start going out already. The anime takes place over more than a year, so it only shows you tidbits of what’s going on, with the implication being a lot more of the same is happening in the gaps. With both of those pairings the changes in real time are happening really slowly but in terms of what the anime shows progress seems to happen at a solid enough pace. Overall I was satisfied with where things ended up and the ending overall. The other focus of the anime is of course comedy. It is a comedy focused on working adults so just because of that a lot of the material it’s working with is pretty different from most anime comedies. Still, overall it felt like it was veering into the more typical anime type comedy pretty often with things like beach episodes and valentines day episodes that played out pretty similarly to what you’d see in a high school rom-com for example. Still, overall the comedy was pretty good and there was a good amount of variety so it came together pretty well. The art and animation are solid enough. The character designs are pretty solid and memorable too for the setting. The OP was really impressive in terms of the song and visuals. The ED was decent enough in both regards. The soundtrack was not particularly remarkable.

My first romcom slice of life outside of a highschool The Sounds:The VA for each of the characters suits them perfectly and i can have no complaint here The OP is just too good and would play it on loop for hours while the ED was pretty calming -7/10 Characters:I think the story mainly focuses on the female lead and her friends but i like that too but i also want to see the male characters too like their past life -8/10 The pacing felt a bit slow with the mc relationship to the point where the relationship of kazama n Sakurai felt better but still the last episode delivered Not the best romcom but still pretty good I would give it a fair rating of 8/10

I'm not gonna say much about this, as it's basically a standard rom-com, but it's fairly well written and had me laughing every episode. I am however very sensitive to anything embarrassing when it comes to romance and social interaction, so there were frequent small breaks while watching, and I really had to man up to get through most episodes. That isn't a bad thing, it's just how I react, and a kind of trigger warning to others who suffer badly from second hand embarrassment! I handle it with taking breaks and watching alone. All the main characters are likeable. A second season probably won't happen, but an OVA to wrap it all up would be great. Don't think I've spoiled anything by saying that. Well worth a watch.

You searchin' for some watch while eating anime? You got the right one right here In fact I have watched all of it while eating and loved every second of it. What I liked the most though was the idea and the cute aspects of this anime. If you like some romance but a bit different than the usual, this is perfect. The music was good, decent. To be honest with you I have forgotten everything about it but at least I do not remember anything bad! And the art was great I really love the lineart and colors that are around recently. MAPPA, Doga Kobo and TMS are good at this, so great job. To conclude this I recommend this cute anime! It's short and overly enjoyable, the characters are truly endearing!

This show had a lot of wholesome value but I’m a little disappointed there wasn’t really any development between either couples. By the end they’ve all kind of accepted, “I like them, they MIGHT like me but I’m not sure” but then did nothing past that. Kazama gets a leg pillow and Igarashi gets to share an umbrella. I love slice of life with a dash of romance but this just didn’t do it for me. The main setting of working in some vague office and writing vague business proposals just wasn’t all that engaging, I’ve seen it done way better in other media. And again, the “romance” was underwhelming.

Massive height differences in relationships like this are pretty funny on the face of it. Futaba is a cute protagonist who just can't help getting absolutely mogged by everyone around her and most of all by her based gigachad of a senpai. This absolute unit towers over not just the short girl of the office, but just about everyone in Japan with his massive 6'2" frame... just Japan things. Senpai isn't just imposing physically, he also has a massive presence and loud personality that just dominates any room he's in. His laugh probably shakes the windows every time it's belted out, which is frequently as his affable personality tends toward finding most things humorous. Hence the title of the show. Of course Futaba is only annoyed in the tsundere sense where she actually likes getting teased and laughed at but would never admit it. A lot of the humor is derived from short jokes, flat jokes and the like. Standard stuff for a show like this. Twitter brainlets are probably having a meltdown about how "problematic" it all is and malfunctioning trying to decide whether to go with a body-shaming tweet or pedophilia tweet. Imagine being hurt so much by a drawing. Personally I thought it was pretty funny. The side romance with the other two co-workers was cute and I was honestly rooting for them more than the main two. The walking Russian stereotype lady was pretty funny too, drinking straight vodka in the morning instead of coffee. Overall I give it like an 8/10.

Story/characters: When I saw the trailer for this series I thought this was going to primarily be a comedy series with a little romance thrown on the side however when watching this show it is mostly a romance with a little comedy tossed in. The difference maybe subtle but it has a significant impact on who this show caters towards. My Senpai is Annoying is primarily directed for those that have a romantic itch. One that front, at least on the surface, there is quite a few things to be had as not only does this series take place in an office setting as opposed to the more usual school type setting this show has not one but two ongoing romances! Sounds good, well there are some issues that need to be raised. The primary one being this is really a by the numbers type of series which is kinda ironic when you think about the setting being a business. In fact, it is so by the numbers it is almost like someone made a checklist on what a slice-of-life/romantic series should have: Christmas episode? Check! New Year’s episode? Check! Beach episode? Check? There are more typical slice-of-life episodes inserted which I could mention suffice to say you should get the picture. If you have seen any slice-of-life/romantic anime before My Senpai is Annoying is going to cover some very familiar ground which, if you’re a fan is great news on the other hand if you want something original then you have come to the wrong place and should give this a miss. This was unfortunate as I felt it was a missed opportunity considering the office type environment could have provided a unique sense of drama and tension to the show. Still there are the characters and when it comes to romance that is the most important the bit right? Well on this ground I will make a disclaimer and say I am a big fan of tsundere/loli characters so it should come as no surprise my favourite character in the whole show would be Futaba. Not only are her antics amusing but she is so adorable with the way she dresses, behaves and the general hobbies she has. Always amusing especially when you here are denials to the contrary! What’s more her source of affections, Harumi Takeda is also a strong co-lead as his loud, boisterous, honest and open personality made him a person that is fun to watch and easy to root for. At the same time, it was easy to understand how Futaba could like him given his positive traits. The case was made all the stronger when you consider her upbringing which was even hinted at with one of the episodes. The main issues I had was with the secondary romantic partners of Touko Sakurai and Souta Kazama who I felt were much more generic. I felt Touko was the standard hot girl who while pretty, did not have any distinguishing features beyond that to make her stand out. If this was disappointing then I felt Souta was even worse as he just seemed like an emo ultra-reserved person with no personality whatsoever. This lack of defining personality made it hard for me to understand how he could snatch a girl as pretty as Touka. In fact, it almost seemed like Souta’s character was a self-insert for the fans who wanted to live their dreams of getting a nice beautiful girl. Another negative with this show was the lack of character/relationship development. Despite this series following a bunch of adults in many ways they act like kids from a standard school romantic story as EVERYONE has difficulty expressing their emotions. Whilst it can have its amusing moments the lack of progression became a drag to the series. It would have been nice if there was more progress but alas there wasn’t. Animation/music: I found the character designs to My Senpai is Annoying enjoyable. Furthermore, the colour schemes and choices were good and I particularly liked the way Futaba and Natsumi Kurobe where designed but I am sure there would be some fans for Touko! Barring the beach episode fanservice is kept to a minimum so if you are a romantic lover who likes a bit of sauce… Well, you won’t find much sauce here. What was more notable was the opening and ending sequences that had not only good animation sequences (the opening is the shoutout) the songs delivered during these moments were great! The opening song “Annoying! San San Week! was a collaboration effort between the voice actors of Futaba, Touko, Natsumi and Mona Tsukishiro while the ending song was "Niji ga Kakaru Made no Hanashi" was done by Yui Horie. Summary: If you are a fan of rom-coms that don’t stray far from the beaten path then My Senpai is Annoying will give you a lot of joy. You get all the classic episodes from Christmas/New year specials, beach episodes and more so if that is your thing then you will enjoy this and better yet know what to expect! Character wise the main pair is actually pretty good and it is enjoyable seeing Futaba and Harumi interact as not only do we get some funny moments but the budding relationship does contain numerous wholesome moments. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the other pairing which seemed a lot blander in comparison. Moreover, if you want high drama or a culmination to the romantic relationships then you are out of luck. At the end of the day this is a largely formulaic series that just goes through the motions in what it expects fans to like. If you are a rom-com/slice-of-life fan, go for this but its formulaic nature means it is unlikely to appeal to others outside this genre particularly if you have a dislike for tsundere/loli characters. In many ways this is a distinctively average series and in terms of romance you get better renditions in even non-romantic animes. For example, Jobless Reincarnation part 2 does a better job of building romance than this show delivers. Story 5.5 – My Senpai is Annoying follows the tried and tested episodes so as such can only be ranked as average. The only unique selling point is the show takes place in an office and not a school. On the positive side the primarily relationship is an endearing affair with a number of comedy moments that will leave you amused. In many ways though the story is largely forgettable. Characters 6.5 – Futaba and Harumi are the standouts that prevent this show from falling into mediocrity. Their characters plus the chemistry they have is good especially if you consider Futaba’s background. This is in large contrast to the secondary relationship which was pretty poor if I am honest. Natsumi and Mona also had their moments but were not significant enough characters to make much of a difference to the overall enjoyment from the cast. Animation 7.5 – The stronger point of the series as the character designs and likeable colouring schemes made this easy on the eyes. More than that however was the musical score with the show boasting above average opening and ending sequences. The opening in particular really gets you into the mood of the series and was something that did not get old. Overall 6 – I couldn’t recommend this series to anyone who isn’t a fan of either slice-of-life, romantic/comedies or big loli lovers. There is simply not enough going on to make this a worthwhile series but if you like those genres (or girls) then it may be worth your time. There are better romantic shows out there though so if you have a backlog probably best to visit those shows first.

Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi (2021) Whilst this was a nice show to finish on Christmas day and somewhat uplifting I feel like the story about Sakurai and Kazama was much more interesting and better played out than the main pair. The secondary coupling was much more honest and structured in a way that made you care about their development whereas the others you just sort of don't. Between Takeda and Igarashi I can't honestly say much changes in the show from start to finish. The art style is superb for this sort of show. It is never going to be the best of the best used in this sort of show and that is absolutely fine. The ED is awesome, the OP is fun too. I really enjoy the general sounds of the show. Characters development like I say was a bit off due to the fact you can easily care about the secondary couple over the main ones which is an odd situation to be in. I really enjoyed the stairs of adulthood moment in episode 1 and the subway scene with Kazama in episode 2. Plus the dolphin, later on, is hilarious. The overall vibe I get from the show is that although it is a really fun 8-9/10 show to watch because it fails with the development of the main characters over others it can only ever be good. 7/10.

Cute but boring. Futaba is a cute flat-chested pipsqueak office worker. Who gets angry when people treat her like a little kid. She is bothered by the fact that her girlfriends tend to get attention due to their boobs. She wants to be seen as a woman by her coworker Takeda who is the complete opposite of Futaba. In that he is big, tall, loud and gentle. Funny enough the two characters you’d think would be the main characters of a romance slice of life, Kazama and Sakurai, are the side characters. Sakurai is the “perfect girl” whose sweet and who all the guys want. Kazama is the quiet shy guy that the perfect girl likes. As cliché as these characters are their love story is somehow much more interesting than the main characters. It tries to be an endearing love story but the characters don’t have interesting enough chemistry with each other. So whether they end up together or with someone else makes no difference. Typically in this genre you must get the viewer absolutely wanting the two main characters to get together. Here thats just not the case. These two main characters don’t actually need to get together. There are no stakes here. Each episode just exists. I can barely remember anything that happens. Futaba works as a main character. But Takeda just isnt main character material. He’s main-character’s-loud-friend material. Or main-character’s-dad material. And he’s way too asexual for a romance slice of life. This anime is very very very very average.

Some spoilers. This show had real potential, and was really endearing at first. But a show like this walks a fine line, and this show very much seems to purposely step over that line. When you have a show where a male character depicted with the body type of adult ends up in a romantic relationship with a character that has the body type of a child, you need to need to need to make sure you do not have any pedophilic elements to your story. A great example of this is Ore Monogatari, where there's no ero fanservice, no inappropriate relationships, and it's generally sugary from the top to the bottom. And this series sets itself up in the same light...at first. Then like an arrow to the heart they had this ending illustration depicting the young boy character clearly naked and in a very sexualized pose. Later that young boy character would go on to be pursued by an adult woman in the friend group, to the cheers of everyone around. They took that clear line they were not supposed to cross in order to make sure this stayed something free from pedophilic overtones, and they stepped right over it, knowing it was there. There are other problems. While they seldom do direct fanservice of Igarashi, every woman is depicted in constant fanservice lights, with shots always focusing on butts and tits. The guy characters are all either entirely consumed by their quest for those tits, are the Senpai, or are the little boy who's there to fulfill the sexually inexperienced shota role. The one character that might have something other to offer is constantly entranced by any tits he sees. Then there's the Russian woman, who's just....there? She's not particularly funny and she just sort of exists and shows up at various times, and I have no idea what she's supposed to be adding if anything. Don't get me wrong, it was funny. The humor was quite good and there were some really cute parts. This was a tough anime to rate because there were aspects that were very positive but also a lot of negatives balancing them out. For instance I didn't mind Sakurai's character, but the constant fixation on her tits was ridiculous. And I was laughing the whole way throughout, and really identifying with Igarashi. But by the end I felt like I was kinda creeped out by it. Also what the heck was up with those ending illustrations? Some of them look like they were done by legit hentai artists. That's not the kind of thing you want on the end of your cutesie series, Doga Kobo. Learn from the success of Love Lab and stop trying to sexualize your radishes, just make them cute.

STORY Ok, this anime tells about an annoying senior named Takeda who always disturbs his junior in the office named Igarashi, and because of the behavior of the two of them, the atmosphere in the office becomes more lively. The part I just said is the comedy part of this anime. The romance part is in the prettiest woman in the office named Sakurai who fell in love with an ordinary man named Kazama. Their behavior is very romantic, so their story is part of the romance in this anime. Honestly, there's not much I can say about the story because the story in this anime only focuses on slice of life, comedy, and romance. If this anime has a drama genre or the story has a serious enough conflict, maybe I can review more about the story ANIMATION The animation of this anime actually looks ordinary but sometimes the animation can be really good. What I'm referring to here is the animation in the late afternoon part as the sun begins to set. When I saw the animation, I could feel the warmth that was going on OPENING & ENDING Now let's talk about the opening and ending of this anime. For the opening song, I think the lyrics and the tone really describe the story and the atmosphere in this anime. The animation in the opening song section has also been made very well so the animation is close to the quality of an anime movie.And for the ending song, I don't think there's anything special. But still good to hear. CHARACTER I think the character of each character in this anime should be made more unique so that the character of each character can strengthen the comedy element, but I also have no problem with the existing characters OVERALL Overall I've enjoyed this anime enough, even though the comedy in this anime rarely makes me laugh, but this anime has made me happy on Mondays

TL;DR Version - I present you, your generic rom-com of the season! Come in expecting something and you be glad to find that this show presents tons of something! Should you watch it? Sure, but don't be in a rush to watch it. This show it good but not good enough to take priority. If you watched many rom-com animes then, you'll know what to expected from this anime. Cuteness, much wholesome-100s, lots of wacky hijinks after which hilarity ensues! Anything I say about this anime can apply to other and better rom-coms I watched. It's good but don't expect to remember this show longer than 3 mouths. Note: The title and synopsis is kind of misleading. You of expect Futaba being annoyed by Harumi to be the main focus but the anime takes time to intrude side characters and their stories. Take that as you will.

Okay, so this is my personal opinion about this anime: Story: 6 (Fair) In my opinion, the story in this anime is good, but it's normal, nothing special. Fair is enough for me. This anime looks similar to wotakoi with some differences in the characters Art: 7 (Good) The art in this anime is quite good. Some of the scenery is described very well with a good background as well. Sound: 7 (Good) No problem when it goes to the sound. It's good but, yeah, nothing special again. Character: 7 (Good) The characterization is quite good. The character design is good, too. But, somehow, I was a little disappointed with the character development aspect. No development is too meaningful for me. Enjoyment: 5 (Mediocre) Yes, this is romance anime, but I don't get the romance feeling. I more feel like see the father and daughter relationship than the love story in this anime. I more like the side character story than the main character. Overal: 6 (Fair)

Loli? No, shortstack :thumbsup: This is a very real and nice romcom to relax to. It's a wholesome slice of life that portrays the everyday life of a kohai and her senpai, the best couple of the season and the oneesan tag. The plot mainly focuses on the 3 things I just listed above, it gives us great character development and brings a wholesome conclusion each episode. The show feels fresh and full of motion in every episode. It's just a really good show if you want a relaxing experience that doesn't bring much tension or suspense, but still feels natural. The characters are just a treat to watch, especially when they are together. We have the main couple; Futaba and Takeda (by now their height difference doesn't even matter, I just got used to it, and you will to after watching this show), they have a senpai kouhai relationship and it's really wholesome to watch, since most of the things he does are similar to things you'd to when you're a couple. The one sided love is pretty funny, it's not sad, because he actually cares and respects her, and this is evident throughout the series. Overall, a great experience to watch. Next is where most of the romance tag is shown, Kazama and Sakurai, their development as a couple feels really natural and is given ample time to develop. Honestly, it's more fun to watch them as couple, than the main couple (let's be honest, the main "couple" doesn't feel like a couple). Their interactions are so wholesome and give life to the show. The there is the next main cast, Yuuto and Nastumi, they're brought together by mutual friends and their relationship is really fun and inspiring. The way they interact and the fact that they don't deviate from their personalities, since we are shown their personalities from flashbacks or individual moments, is a really nice touch. Last are all the side characters, Best girl, grandpa and the background boys, the fact that they just appear out of nowhere, is just hilarious. The way they indirectly make the 2 couples closer is done in a very natural way, that's good writing! However, this show does have it's fair share of flaws, like the imbalance in developments and not just in one hyper-focused episode. All I'm saying is that there was SO much opportunities to develop the main couple throughout the show, whether it being slight changes in expression or just straight up deeper conversation. Some say that the second couple got all the attention, I agree and disagree. On one hand, yes they did, in their episodes, they could've added a small skit of the main couple doing something. On the other hand, like I said, the second couple are where the romance tag really shines, and it's was a bad thing watching such a sweet and wholesome experience. So yeah, I would've wanted the show to balance the emphasis on their development and colleges and as a couple in each episode. So basically, if you want good romance and comedy, look no further, we have it all here: good story, great characters and wholesome interactions. Great anime. Also Mona best girl, SIBERIA RULES

At a glance, the anime is a light breeze between those isekais which are all about fighting and killing (meh) in its airing season. But when we actually look more closely, its charecter development was not so good, if not poor, this anime or its manga is somewhat like series of short stories with same charecters rather than a complete whole story (you can easily notice this after 1 or 2 ep/chap of manga/anime because they are actually not much related to others). Why I still give it 9 out of 10 because each short stories was really good and they are all absolute joy to watch. Being a collection of shorts do mean that this anime has literally no drama at all, just sweetness and comedy so not recomended for those drama-heads but definitely do for those who just want something to enjoy.

This anime had me smiling the entire time I watched it. From the moment it began to the moment it ended, my face bore a massive grin. The art was nice, nothing over the top, but it was there when it needed to be. The story is exactly as described: a slice of life. Watching office co-workers interact with each other and see the intricacies of their relationships was nice. Everyone in this show was connected in some way or another just as the same as real life. Overall, I would give this anime a 7.5/10 because it is exactly what I asked for: a slice of life with a side of romance. This bears resemblance to Ore Monogatari. This is because both entertain a special relationship between a guy that is massive and a female lead.

Question, Are you short?, Are you skinny?,Are you cute?(dont get your ego inflated plz)...Well then this anime is just for you! If you aren't any of these things, it'll still be a fun ride. I wont keep you for long so let's get going Story:9/10....This is not a complex anime, this isn't Narnia, this is a Slice of Life anime. Cute girl,works in office, has senpai who annoys her but she likes, the end. If you love Slice of Life, this will be a walk in a park. Art:7/10....It's good and adorable for an average SOL, it's nothing to write home about because SOL almost never are going to have GODLY animation like Demon Slayer. There are some moments though that I almost questioned what anime I was watching (In a good way) Sound:6/10....It's forgettable TBH, but the music fits the mood during the episode. That is all I have to say on the matter Character: 7/10....The cast is very likeable and diverse. None of the cast are really deep in the depth department but still enjoyable Whatever you like in a character, there's at least one character who could check out. Enjoyment:8/10....I like it, nothing to comment here, I like SOL anime so I am biased as heck in this section. Overall:8/10.... In the end, It's just very enjoyable, If you like SOL this is for you, if not, probably wont be in your top 10. THX for reading

So, I've been growing up watching rom-com anime and I enjoyed most of them. As a teenager, school rom-com were my bread and butter and I felt like I could relate to them. All the insecurities, the pining, the overall sense of not fitting that supposedly falls apart when you meet the "right person". I was a late bloomer romantically speaking so fiction was my only way of experiencing romance for quite some time. For the longest time I felt quite satisfied with the anime offer in that department. Growing up though, I started feeling a little disconnected from the school anime scene. Makes sense, right? I was growing out of the target age. And now I'm an adult (well, I'm trying my best to be one) and I'm in a long term relationship.Watching teenagers making their first attempts at love might be cute to watch sometimes but I would like to have characters to relate to, to see them go trough the same struggles that I'm going trough. So what do I do? I look for rom-coms with adult protagonists of course. This long prologue was to say that I started this series looking for funny, wholesome and relatable adult interactions and found very little of that. The overall tone of the series including humor, character interactions, relationship progression, feels very high-school like. The only "grown up" thing in the show is the setting, but that's pretty much it. I find quite ironic that one of the recurring jokes is that the protagonists keeps getting mistaken for a high schooler while the show behaves like a shonen. Overall, my biggest bones to pick are the lack of relatable interactions and the kids level humor (so many oppai jokes...). Also there are other scenarios other than "the girl gets saved from random tugs", I swear. Aside from that it wasn't all bad. Some jokes did land for me, the voice acting is great and the character design is cute (female characters are sexualized way too often but hey, I don't expect much from anime). An OK show, but in my opinion it does not fit its target audience.

I loved this cute story! but taking apart my bias for romcom shows (and making it clear that I'm not an expert in animation), I'd like to remark that the opening music is really enjoyable and the animation for it is on point, the story wasn't like the best story out there but progressed really good making me unable to say that it was a mediocre story, the character design clearly reminded me of other well known characters but it wasn't that bad in my opinion, art style was very good and animation wasn't even close to being bad, honestly an 8 out of 9 leaving my genre preference behind!

Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi is pretty much exactly what it presents itself as: a wholesome rom-com about a short girl and her senpai at work. Nothing it does is really that unique in of itself, everything plays out like you would expect for this kind of show, but everything was executed quite well to the point that the lack of real originality really didn't hamper my enjoyment. The story is exactly what you would expect for a rom-com of this type: no story. It follows a basic will-they-won't-they romance SOL structure with a few progressively more romantic scenes in each episode. Pretty standard overall structure, with one or two short stories being told in each individual episode. It's a tried and true format, and one that was executed well in this instance. The characters weren't really deep or too unique, but they all had their own charm that made me enjoy almost all of them. Futaba is cute despite how angry she can become over being called such a thing, Takeda's caring nature is pretty heartwarming, and his slight aloofness led to plenty of the shows jokes and scenes. None of the characters were really anything special if looked at critically, but I think they were all enjoyable, which is what's important in a rom-com. The art used for Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi was colorful and bright, and fit the show pretty well. There are some rougher spots in the design of certain aspects, but overall I think the style and design of the show was pretty great. This show isn't one that really blows me away or even really surprised me at all, but it was fairly entertaining, and was a refreshing break from all of the garbage that came out this season. I enjoyed watching it, but don't think I'd really recommend it. It's good, but there are plenty of things that are way better, but if this show sounds like your thing, it probably is. This show is exactly what it tries to be, and nothing more.
