This is my first time writing a review so please be gentle lol.
May contain little spoilers.

Story- 7/10

The anime's story is nothing new. We've seen this kind of plot before, but I myself am new to this. I gotta admit kinda liked how they went with it. It was very intriguing to me and it kept me hooked. The balance of comedy and getting to a bit of a serious tone was quite good for me. My problems with it is that I wanted to know more about the world. Where the witch powers comes from, the history of the Supernatural club and the history of the past members. I think all this could've been solved if there were more episodes.

Art- 8/10

Bright colors, colorful characters and a pretty atmosphere. It felt lively when it needed, had the nice contrast when the characters are faced with dilemma and the emotions on the characters' faces are well illustrated.

Sound- 7/10

The OP is really good and really catchy. The ED is really cute too, both in terms of music and sequence. There were some nice background music that stood out but overall nothing memorable. It did, however, fit the series well.

Characters- 9/10

Shiraishi! The characters are definitely the reason you'd want to keep watching the anime. The MC Yamada is such a funny dude, but when things hit the fan, he doesn't mess around. Shiraishi is my favorite character in the series. She's so cute and adorable, and strong. I love how Yamada and Shirashi's relationship develop. The other members of the Supernatural Club were also very funny and interesting. The other witches were cute and had unique abilities too, and some of them stood out.

That said, there are witches that only had one-off episodes. It would've been nice to know more of them, or atleast just see them interact with the main crew more often. There was one witch though (the 6th one) that I hoped they explored a bit more. Also, as mentioned earlier, I wish they told us more about the old Supernatural Club's past, as well as the 7th's mystery and all that. I didn't feel like the show's Antagonist really felt like one because of these reasons. Then again, one of the major reasons for these is that there is too little episodes. I wish there'd be a season 2!

Enjoyment- 10/10

Definitely one of my favorite I've seen this year! I love the characters, especially Yamada and Shiraishi, and the situations that they get into are all hilarious. I also enjoyed discovering the other witch's powers and was looking forward to seeing how Yamada would deal with them. I definitely wish there'd be a second season.


Overall- 8.2/10

Personally, I'd ignore all the problems I had with it and just blame it all on lack of episodes and give it a 10/10 but then again I believe that there may still be other things that I may have overlooked because I just enjoyed the anime so much.

Overall, Yamada-kun is a very good anime for me. It's plot is nothing very new or unique but it's cast of characters are fun and interesting, and the it is a very enjoyable watch. It has decent animation, and really good OP with a cute ED. Also, Urara Shiraishi is reason enough to watch it. There are plot holes, characters that aren't well developed but it can be associated with the little amount of episodes that it had, though it is your prerogative if you want to make that the reason or not.


To those who read this review, thank you very much.
This is my first one, and I hope it was at least remotely helpful.
If you have yet to see this anime, then I highly recommend it.
If you have finished this anime and maybe trying to find an anime similar to this, I recommend D-Frag.

Have a good day! :D
