Morita-san wa Mukuchi

This OVA was made earlier than the TV series, but I made the mistake of watching it later. Unlike the TV episodes it is a full-length 24 minute episode. And it's damn good.

It starts with a segment made up of yon-koma panels which speak. Well, basically you have the characters faces as they appear in the manga and there's dubbed audio. There's Miki, Chihiro and Hana doing some introductions of the characters and talking about random stuff for 2 minutes. After this starts the actual episode. And well, the only way I can describe it is that watching this will basically feel like reading 100 ... chapters of a 4-koma manga at once, if you know what I mean. It's just about mini-occurences and how the characters react to them, how they interact with each other etc. As you get to know them, understand their quirks, you grow to love them, bit by bit, as the chapters fly past.

Well, the main appeal of this anime to me was the titular character, Morita-san herself. She's cute, she's lovable, and though she doesn't speak a lot, she thinks too much. Way too much, in fact. Her overthinking things and being unable to do anything as a result is a running gag in the series. The episode is all over the place though, really. There are funny moments, there's wholesome moments, there's some scenes with yuri bait and all in all it's one good OVA episode that I thoroughly enjoyed. Recommend it to everyone.
