Kono Bijutsu-bu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!

Mizuki Usami is a passionate member of her school's art club, but the club has a problem—Usami is the only member who takes her craft seriously! The lazy club president constantly sleeps through activities and Collette hasn't regularly attended club activities in quite some time. Uchimaki Subaru, despite being an exceptional artist who could win an award if he tried, is obsessed with drawing the perfect 2D wife.

Light-hearted and comedic in tone, Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru! follows Usami as she struggles to do art club-like activities, often obstructed by her motley crew of good-for-nothings and her distracting crush on Subaru.

I've rewatched this anime probably about 5 times and now, and it's still the best for me.

This Comedy and Romance Anime is very good, the characters are also cute, the graphics and art style are all good in my opinion.

Anime with a fairly relaxed story, each episode is not boring, there is always something that makes you laugh.
Especially about their story which always makes me smile to myself when I see it.

Maybe the downside is to the characters Collette, I'm not really interested in him because he's too cheerful and not very entertaining.
But overall this anime is good enough to watch.

Mixed Feelings

3/10, would be a 7/10 but ill explain why.

So, this is my first review, but I have been getting better at doing them from a separate media. I hope its not too long and I can cover all the bases needed for this show.

"This Art Club Has a Problem!" or as weebish speak would say "Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!" Is a small romantic slice of life that takes place in... middle school.... and has the mcs of the show doing aaart!

Is a small slice of life of interpersonal relationships, dont expect huge things.

We got the classic run down:

-One sided unrequited love- ... Usami Mizuki- nice, cant really say no, just stuff from a person thats getting by. Has a hot temper, but still is a nice mc for this sortta show.

-Actual weeb- Uchimaki, Subaru- with his priorities being in 2d women which he finds or draws, (oh yeah they are super duper in an art club, almost like Nagatoro) (and yes, this ends up with a one sided love, Usami has a huge crush on this fella,

-We have child that just shows up and is apart of the cast - Collette - comes up with ideas and has some missfortunes along the way, somewhat is used as a punching bag.

His name, I kid you not, is -President - who seems like a senior, assuming you go by American based understandings of school, he sleeps all the time, but when he's not sleeping he's chilln around eatin snacks, but he still gets the "best at everything when he tries" plot device.

A few episodes in, we get - Imari, Maria - who is the female version of Actual weeb lad, Uchimaki, and they hit it off well.

Theres a few other characters, like Moeka an ACTUAL ACTUAL child, Ayase who swaps the narrative somewhat, the two teachers, and this one kid who looks a lot like Levi from Attack on titan and really goes:

"ArRRRHGG IM GONG TO WIIINN THIS ART COMPETION"
-Uchimaki wins 1st place
"HOW COULD YOU Of BEATEN ME! I WAS GOIGN TO WINNN!"
- lol ok

also a few smaller ones that appear but im not gonna mention them cuz mmmm spoilers.


So, now that we have the characters down, we can talk about the story.

well, theres no reaaaal overarching ideas, but simply things that appear later on, like how Collette draws on one of the art things the other few were doing.

These continuity aspects are really fun, and I like how each episode has like 3 plot lines and they all combine near the end, like Solar opposites, but alas, the demographic is drastically different.

Final notes:

This anime came out in 2016, but to this review's making, no second season, nor dub. Both of which are sad if you are an anime only. But alas, from what I can assume, and a few google searches, the anime ends at Ends at Volume 6, Chapter 38 (excluding chapters: 5, 6, 9.2, 23 and 35 to 37). (Stolen from reddit, thanks [Deleted]!

The Manga is still going though, volume 14 will be released in August 27, 2021. So more then half we havent seen.

------------------------
And now the part why I rated it so bad.


I assumed going into this, that this place is high school, but no. This is a middle school, with the club members being 13-15.

This, really throws a wet rug on the whole show, because if it was high school, it could of worked well, but just keep that in mind... They are not even 16..... and they do some... "sexual fan service".

This news to me came out when I looked at show's wiki after the show, (I wanted to find voice actors and details I may of missed).

Last last thingy note: :L

Characters are displayed well enough to be called a good slice of life, the art is nice, especially later with a project they do, 3d is around because when is it not.

There are a lot of cute scenes in the show, like helping help ACTUAL ACTUAL CHILD for reasons.

And the intro and outro are nice.

Thats about it, go watch it if you want a small side anime!

I would've given this a 7 or 6 but the fact that the sexual jokes are between teens that look 12 years old is disgusting to me, imagine if someone comes to my room while I am watching an ecchi anime of 12 years old... Plus some side characters like Collette that looks 12 and acts like an 8 years old...
This is so freaking stupid, these people just had to make some characters older and they would've had a good anime!
Simple anime, simple execution and still failed by making fkn underage ecchi students... What a wasted potential Jesus Christ...
I guess if you are 12 you ... would enjoy this anime but i think it would still be kind of weird...
