Working!!!

Working!!! (2015)

I must stand by and point out that I still think the OP from season 1 is the best of the show and the most memorable. That said this season is the most action-packed one and brings it all together and yet they didn't even finish it since we have a 49 minute or so special that actually will finish the story as a final episode. Regardless it is a real fun ride on this season and you get some real development that has been laid out over a few seasons now. Who knew working part-time at a restaurant could be so fun!

The art ... has improved as with time and although the first season is somewhat timeless and the second one was a bit of a hurdle to pass this one has done an excellent job.

The OP and ED are great but the season 1 OP still trumps all. Hopefully, it will come back in the final episode. Generally, they do a really great job emotionally with the soundtrack given how realistically awkward characters are.

The characters this season develop heavily and things start coming to a head. You get a real sense of it actually coming to an end. I still don't really like the lack of common sense with the Yamada situation especially with how Souma acted and the lack of anyone contacting police etc, especially when you have a boss with such lofty connections. That said it all plays nicely into the story giving it a great time. Aoi Yamada still has an amazing voice actress which is great to see.

Maya Matsumoto is the still best girl end of the story. Izumi is still great too and look forwards to the maid outfit! Mitsuki Mashiba becomes a strong contender with a great character addition in development.

As far as enjoyment goes it is a solid 9 since the Souma thing grates me more than I can put into words without writing a book. I would say overall the show has a really great storyline here and it comes to a nice ending once we watch the final special ending episode this will complete a real strong chapter in the anime industry for me. I do worry though that WWW.Working!! won't stand up to the calibre of this the main show and hope it won't tarnish this one.

9/10.

[This review includes the special, and my overall enjoyment of the Working!! series]

It is a fitting conclusion to a comedy anime adapted from a 4-koma.

I like that it does not stray far from being a comedy while also accommodating for some development of the story and its characters. The usual banter is still there, and it is still funny for me (Yamada and her antics will never go old). Speaking of characters, Souma and Yamada are really the pillars of plot and comedy of Working!! They have made use of the other characters to progress the story. I really believe that Souma is an esper, ... and Yamada is Yamada.

I like that one couple progressed in a somewhat realistic and mature manner, while the other on a very yonkoma way with a quest and a very unreal situation.

I like that it has ended conclusively while also open to speculation for an epilogue. I like that it is a happy end, and I also would like to know their future.

I LIKE THAT THEY PLAYED THE FIRST OPENING SONG.

Someday, I might rewatch this series for Yamada. I really like Yamada.

[opening]
This is really cheerful and light and watching it was really fun. So far it's the 3rd season, so the requirement should be: season 1 and 2 was watched. So the if you know the 1st and 2nd season...you'll be surprised in the 3rd season...since the typical cliched that was formed from both season was gone...the deconstructed everything and they made this season "Romantic"

[how it was done 7/10]
So far it has good art, for they stayed to the original style of it, and definitely better than the manga, they were able to present the characters in the proper way and was able ... to combine it with great expression and mood. Background and the minor subject were made very well. In terms of sound, the Voice Actress/Actor was able to portray it very well, but for the BGM, it was able to meed the standard. As for the story pacing, it was really slow, but worth it. And the characters were able to meet its standard form

[plot 7/10]
The story is really great, since they've changed a lot, you'll see the power of "slow pacing", since it will be long for our main couple to date each other. The story is not focused on our main protagonist, but on our supporting protagonist, and you will feel the Romantic feeling in this season. And there are more revelations in this season, which is not the focused of the main story. The characters were able to perform their duty very well and the story were focused on the supporting, so Season 3 is basically a story for "Supporting characters" which already concluded the things they needed in order to close the story. And the Main Couple will close their story in the upcoming "Special" episode.

[enjoyment 9/10]
It's one of the happiest and lightest slice of life romcom you can watched after watching season 1 and 2. And I can say I really enjoyed this anime since they've made some cheerful characters with a light story. I think only few will dislike this series, since it's meant for people who loves "Light" series, which is the opposite of dark or tragic, which I always enjoy.

[worth 5/10] [Simple Creative]
Since it was able to create something new and the characters changed a lot, it was good and enjoyable, it was able to bring out the potential of the characters and was able to meet up the conclusion without leaving a cliff hanger. In terms of its "Focus" or "Themes", it's 10/10, but in terms of creativity and originalty, it's 5/10, or should I say, it was Above Mediocore or Average animes, which I rated 4/10(animes that meets up with your expectation) but this anime is quite creative which didn't rely on Mainstream Style, and was able to create a story which is quite original and the execution is really nice, yet the Goal or the conclusion of the anime is simply predictable.

[closing]
Since this is the 3rd season, I'm hoping for our Main Couple to be officially called "Dating", but it ended announcing that the real ending will be on the "Special Episode"...it's a nice anime and worth to be watched, and only few anime like this exist, A light with a plot anime with cute romance and especially it's value of improving and developing of every characters.
