Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theater - Rakugaki Backstage

There are no reviews for this at the time of writing, so I feel like it's my duty to write one.

Okay, so these specials are basically bonus chibi shorts for Amagi Brilliant Park. They don't offer much, but they are quite enjoyable and should be watched after the main series.

These specials are quite funny, with moments such as everyone's favourite perverted flower fairy screaming 'F*CK REALITY!' and a humorous little jab at furries.

If you liked AmaBuri, you'll probably enjoy these.

*Spoiler Free Review for Wakuwaku Mini-Theater*

These are just a few short "backstage"-scenes which happen inbetween the episodes.

They present the characters and their lifes in a satirical once again and if you're sad you've already watched all the Amaburi Episodes but can't seperate from the characters, this gives you comfort!

They're fun to watch, but have a simple art style and are just meant as a joke.
They don't really deserve the score they have right now (6).

Sure, they're not a masterpiece, but if you watched and loved Amaburi, you'll cry out of laughter thanks to these little shorties!
...
It's at least a solid 8!


(Warning, filled with insider-jokes! Watch Amaburi first, then these)

I had a lot of fun with the main Amagi Brilliant Park series, so I thought that watching these mini-episodes would be a good idea. So, were they any fun? Well, let's hop on and find out, shall we?

Story
These episodes take place between the episodes of the main series, which means they are unrestricted from the show's continuity. They feature the characters reacting to the events of the main series and doing all kinds of crazy stuff, such as trying to record a video or get a raise. I can't say much about of them other than they were a lot of fun. (7/10)

Characters
There isn't ... much in the way of character development here, but that's okay. The characters don't really need to evolve or go through some life-changing experience, they just need to have fun with whatever's happening to them. (7/10)

Art
The art style is a lot more simplistic and cartoonish that that of the main series, which makes sense considering that comedy is this series' bread-and-butter. (8/10)

Sound
Since I watched the English dub of the main series, this was a good opportunity for me to listen to the original voices. While this was a comedy series, I really enjoyed the performances of Kouki Uchiyama (Seiya), Ai Kakuma (Isuzu), Yukiyo Fujii (Latifa) and Yuuka Aisaka (Muse). (8/10)

Overall
Aside from a few moments of fun, I wasn't expecting much from this series. It did give me a little closure after the end of the main series, but nothing more than that. You can skip this series if you want, but if you're in the mood for some comedy, then I highly recommend it. (7/10)
