Working!!!

*Review for all the Seasons of Working!!!

let's start at saying Wow!.

Working!!, Working'!! and Working!!! are anime that based of Real-Life Comedy.

With decent Character Development, and thats why it gets the Comedy going, the Decent Character Development makes it easier to understand and enjoy the Comedy in this anime, but they did a really good job at balancing between Comedy and Character Development.

Season 1 (Working!!) focuses on character introduction and Comedy introduction, where they tells us each character story.
Souta has some kind of Adoring feeling to little things (including Water flea XD)
Inami has a Phobia that makes her punch a man just by getting close to ... her.
Taneshima is a High Schooler that lacks Height (she's so cute :3 )
Souma is a mysterious person that always spies on other people secret.
Kyoko is the Manager that does nothing except eating
Yachiyo the chief that always carries a katana and serve Kyoko because of the Character Plot
Satou is the Cook that always looks Cool and Calm (but he secretly has a Crush on Yachiyo
Otto is the Restaurant Manager who is in search of his Lost Wife.......
and finnaly Yamada who is an annoying little kid that always breaks the restaurants Appliances
and they have many other Character Plot troughout Season 1, Balanced Character Plot and Comedy.

Season 2 (Working'!!), going with more Comedy and less Development.
The comedy this season was not good, but it's Great!, i loved how they make things complicated with Comedy, and the comedy is not really mature so almost all-ages can take it.

Season 3 (Working!!!), this is where the Character Development really takes place, Yamada meets up with her Real mom, Inami now runs away or cover her eyes when she meet Takanashi at close range, Satou finally confessed with Yachiyo and...... we meet Takanashi's Mom.....

and so Working!! series is where you wanna be when you are new to anime, want to laugh hard without Mature content and if you're feeling down.

for Anime Starters, this is for you!

and i heard a Movie is coming up for Working!!! so bear with the Cliffhanger ok? XD

When a show gets multiple seasons, it's usually due to the fact that either the show is popular enough to receive a second or third installment, or the production company just simply has the resources to make it happen. So, with the working series coming out in its 3rd season since 2010, what happens here?

Story: Do I really need to bother with story? Because in all honesty, the story of this season is basically the same as it's always been. Like the previous two alliterations, Working!!! (now with 3 exclamation marks) follows the story of the entire staff at a place called ... Wagnaria as they all work and involved with each of their co-workers lives while getting closer as a group of workers. Simple story, simple concept, somewhat overdone.

Because it follows the general slice-of-life story still, the base story idea is rather bland as a result. With the general premise being what it is, there has to be something that makes the show interesting, right? Well, luckily, there is.

Contrary to the previous two seasons, Working3 ties up a lot of the loose ends that the series has. Because this season specifically is the sort of "last season" for the show (because there's apparently a one-hour special to really finish things up), a lot of the plot points that were brought up in previous seasons, the different issues that each character had, are as a result resolved and provide a neat little ending to the majority of the cast. Working has been a SoL show that has proper story progression with its runtime, and with a lot of loose ties ending, it makes the show better as a result.

Comedy in Working is the same as it's always been. You have characters with each of their random little quirks, gags, and personalities, all of them mashing together to create retorts onto each other's words and actions, as well as some general specifically "character" moments where one member of the cast makes their character shine for just a little moment.

In the end, the story for this season of Working is just to tie things over. As it is more plot-based than just the characters wasting precious screentime screwing around (though that does happen still), the story progression is as a result is much more like a story rather than your average slice of life for the most part.

Overview:
+ Plot progression
+ Character development
+/- Character and retort comedy (Good and bad depending on your sense of humor)
- Bland story idea (It's still after all, a slice of life story idea.)

Characters: Similarly, the characters in Working are still basically the same. No one from the previous two seasons has been cut out, and in fact, the characters have changed development-wise rather than really adding in any new characters to the group. But, as is working tradition, new characters are still added with each progressional season.

As for the new characters of the bunch, the characters that were introduced are largely new members that serve to intertwine several other character relations. With new members of the Takanashi family and other characters that tie up several other of the cast members' issues, the series really doesn't take too much a hit from remembering everyone because they just aren't hard to remember and no one really takes away from the show; instead, creating a more vibrant show with the characters that it both introduces and has.

Overview:
+ Good ol' same cast
+ New additions that benefitted the series (even slightly)
+ Character development with the cast members.

Art: Produced by A-1, the art, much like the rest of the series, is largely the same. With the same style of animation and the same quality as it did previously, Working itself is a very consistent series when it comes to artwork, using a very vibrant color scheme and a rather simple look to the series that isn't too aesthetically overcomplicated or over-detailed.

In addition, the show goes back and uses the style of chibis and other character visual regressions in order to express the comedy of the show, including changing facial features, simplification, and some slight overdramaticism.

Overview:
+ Same art style (If it ain't broke, don't fix it.)

Sound: The soundtrack is very similar to its other two seasons, with the OP and ED songs being these nice, fluffy tracks, without really any indication for them being memorable. They're good in their own right, but they are honestly not songs that I would listen to on repeat.

Personal Enjoyment: Following a series is a fun pastime for a lot of animegoers. To essentially grow up with the cast with each new cour that the series is give, seeing the series come to the end is a bit of a bittersweet feeling. While Working hasn't completely finished at the time of this review, the prospect of never watching another Working season gets me a little down, admittedly.

Did I like this anime?

Yes. It's always fun to revisit the characters that you grow fond of, and this is no exception. With the entire series now wrapped around solving everyone's problems, the show as a result became much different than its previous two cours because it moved our characters along to some very nice resolutions. (Though, if Yamada were to stop breaking stuff, maybe I would've had a little hope for her.)

What didn't I like about this anime?

Well, there's not really anything to dislike for me personally. It's a quaint little series that I enjoy and, while its story idea is a bit lackluster, I had no problem with just sitting down and see these characters talk and work with each other.

Would I recommend this anime?

If it's for this season, only watch this after watching the first two seasons, because you will be completely lost on everything if you just start now. If you have seen Working and like it, I highly recommend watching it. It's a nice wrap up to a lot of the points that the previous Working's established and it's still basically the same show, so I see no reason not to if you liked it before.

Ok, so the 3rd season has jaz ended,so no more BS and I'm jaz gonna go straight to the point as to my views about this anime.


Story:

The story is a mediocre, since it still rely on the usual setting and characters, but even so it has presented a couple of development which is necessary in all sequel of anime whom were going for a 3rd sequel. So in general this 3rd sequel is good and doesn't rely on the usual gags and jokes, so..........

My verdict: a Good 7.

Art:
...
So far nothing has charge when it comes to the character designed there was still that moe thing that is an ever present in all anime and manga and as usual there was still someone who is the quintessential Zettai Riyoki in Yamada Aoi, so........

I'm giving this category a Mediocre 5.

Sound:

Well, nothing has change when it comes to the seiyuus who did the character's voice, thought the opening theme was nice I barely like it, so since there isn't much for me to say about this category........

I'm jaz gonna go for Mediocre 5.


Character:

Just like the art and sound nothing has change with the characters in this 3rd sequel, but then again, since there have been some character development here in terms of romance and relationship like Satou and Yachiyo formalizing their relationship, having other support characters like Takanashi's sisters having some aired time and Takanashi and Inami getting closer with each other, But it was a bit unfortunate that Maya Matsumoto was still limited as a small extra. IMO it would be fair enough that this category should......

be a Fair 6.

Enjoyment:

In general some episodes were enjoyable, but there are some that weren't cu'z some of those episodes falls back on the usual restaurant setting, so even though I enjoy some of the episodes, in general I barely enjoy this anime at all.

So a Fair 6 would be fine.


Overall:

There may have been some development, some episode were enjoyable some maybe boring, but then again to give this 3rd sequel a low score would not be fair, but that's just me, I don't know about you guys out there, so I'm jaz gonna rate this 3rd sequel a........

Fair 6.

PEACE MUCHACHOS!
