Working!!! Lord of the Takanashi

Normally I start my reviews with some long metaphorical contextualization but for the purposes of this I will jump right into it.

As a series, I never expected to enjoy Working!!
However, right after the second episode of the first season I was hooked. Here we had very 2D characters that were actually interesting to watch. Having your lead male have an obsession for anything small like puppies and kids in a very wholesome but non creepy way is a great touch as many of us (myself included) have personalities like this that are hard to explain without sounding like a creep. Then you have your short ... girl, your ditsy girl, your girl that won't stop eating, your sociopath, your bad boy that's actually a nice boy, and of course...the girl who has an extreme fear of men to the point that she attacks them if they get close to her. And they all work together.

It doesn't sound like a story that can survive for three seasons and a final hour long episode. And yet it does. The two romance plot points are mapped out wonderfully, allowing us to see why these characters fall for each other and feel validated as they do. One of the main couples don't seem to work at all at first glance, but it's the experiences that they had together throughout the series that capitulates the realism and allows the slow burn to feel more natural.

This final episode was a perfect finale to a wonderful series that I plan on revisiting someday.

Working!!!: Lord of the Takanashi (2016)

Not very often is it that you get a show that really and truly ends in such a nice wholesome way. Of course, it depends on the genre if this is appropriate. I must say I absolutely loved this show and this is the best way it could have ended. The show has gone above and beyond.

The artwork the same as the previous part of this season which is a great standard and shall stand long into the future in great quality.

The soundtrack is superb, especially since at the end we get the season 1 OP which is ... my absolute favourite and so beyond fitting. As with many of the happenings in the other part of the finale, the season gets some emotional climax that the actors portrayed superbly.

Characters are rounded off to a close in a way that if real you know they continue their journeys. You also get some realism with lines along with the likes of hoping these part-time relationships (work not love) will last as long as possible. I love the realism that you have a character that leaves to do other things as you know from the other part of this season. It is truly great to have had a pretty funny and yet heartwarming ending.

The show will go down as one of my favourites and I will genuinely miss it. This is an example of a show that I can see and understand why it was fully adapted. I am glad to have seen this show before venturing further into this world of Anime.
Hopefully the WWW.Working!! will give the same vibes although I fear that the progression being crushed into a single season may not be so great, we shall see of course and judge it separately.

This ends on a high 10/10. I could rate it much higher since the show is worth every second of the viewing time. Maya Matsumoto is still my best girl and I love the picture they took of the staff that you see get taken at the end of the other part of the season shown here.

I don't think I quite knew how much I loved this series until I finished it.

This is gonna be a short one to tell you guys how wonderful this final episode was. So, this episode will simply wrap up everything that we've seen so far. There were a few unanswered questions at the end of the third season, and this hour-long special answered all of them. It had an interesting and silly way to tell part of the story that I really liked, and it made it feel somewhat like a grand adventure. The rest of the episode was just good, heartwarming fun. The characters ... developed even more in this episode in a couple of ways. I was glad to see certain characters being true to their feelings, even beyond the main two characters; so, even in an extra episode like this, there's still changes happening.

I'm really glad I watched this series. It was rough going at first with the lack of character progression and storytelling, but by the end I was completely in love with these characters and everything surrounding them. It made me really happy. Please do give this anime a go if you haven't yet. It'll surprise you.
