There is no question that if you worked for Wagnaria that you’d have stories yourselves.
But they might not be fun stories with the set of characters that are working at this eatery.
The main draw of this anime has to be it’s characters.
You have your loli girl for the lolicons, your Yuri tease for you Yuri fans, and your Androphobia girl for the masochists.
The problem that resides in this show would be an inconclusive end game goal.
Some might say that the goal would be to survive the workplace, but that is negated by how “durable” our main character Takanshi is.
Some might say that the goal would be just to satisfy the lolicons with cuteness by Popura, but she takes a back seat to Inami.
The main concept of the show at the end is “trying” to cure Inami of her androphobia the same way you do with PTSD.
But just like with another review I made on Isshuukan Friends, there is no romance tag here.
So you shouldn’t go in with anticipation of a romance forming.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t any disappointment when there doesn’t.
Working does a great job with characterization but the show is deprived of any progression.
So with no progression or end game you are just left with a gag anime that is left up to how much you appreciate the comedy that they are doing.
Unfortunately I didn’t laugh as much as I wanted to. The funniest part of the show would actually be the opening video.
That is best part of the show.
Something that would have been nice that would fit into the plot would be that because of all the hectic things happening at the restaurant was there they were at risk of closing.
I mean how many plates broke in this show anyways, haha.
Instead we are given hints that the manager just extorts people for money.
Since she is a former delinquent but that isn’t enough to suffice for that.
So I am torn on giving this show a 6 or a 7.
The story is the lowest end here with the Sound and Art being the high end.
But is just an opening enough for me to consider this show above average? I think not. So I would have to rate this show a 6 out of 10.
The show has two more seasons to build on anything but the way this show ended doesn't give me any promise.
