Houkago Saikoro Club (2019)
Beginning with a sad story of an introverted girl due to the bullying she faced from her shyness. She has little in the way of friendship but this changes with the arrival of Aya. Later Midori and Emilia join the fold too. They all share a past time going through the series with analogue games. Miki the introverted girl meets various people and solves a few misunderstandings with some pointless romance devices shown. Pointless because they are barely touched, they could have been not shown and the show would hardly change.
Initially, I thought this would be a hidden gem, however, I,

Welcome to my review of Houkago Saikoro Club! This review contains minor spoilers!!
Miki are a very shy and insecure girl who rather keep to herself! Sadly she got bullied in her early years. And later in high school she rejected invitations on social activities with her classmates. And because of her odd behaviour, and that she try to close herself in!! Avoiding places where people are gathering and are unwilling to take part of the world outside, I think she may suffer from a mild form of autism!! Aya on the other-hand are a very enthusiastic social and positive young lady! She have recently moved ... Jan 10, 2020
Do you remember Chip and Dale, the worlds most polite and considerate squirrels ? Next up think of Pollyanna the most optimistic girl in the world, toss in Louisa May Alcott's little women blend a little, dumb it down, toss in some do your best to overcome obstacles messaging, last a little gaming and you have After School Dice Club. If you think you would want to watch something like that Dice Club might be for you. The rest of this review is about why it wasn't for me.
First up, I don't think I have ever seen anything aired that had so ... Feb 7, 2020
When you have an anime about a club or sport, there are in general, two ways to go about it. Have it be focused on the sport in terms of competitiveness (Ex: kuroko no Basket) or have it be about more of the character interaction and in a club/sports environment (asobi asobase, Sket Dance, etc etc).
This anime obviously takes the latter route. However, it stands to my attention that this show has absolutely no good character development, personalities, and to pair it off, pretty terrible dialogue and story arcs. It takes a lot of basic and archetypal characters, and does not do a lot with them. ... Apr 15, 2023
Nothing New.
Cliché characters and an extremely boring protagonist. The girl with the glasses has more motivation and a better storyline than the protagonist. It was annoying when the protanist constantly repeated that she was lonely all her life in the beggining of most of the chapters. It's like I already understood girl!- And it was very forced that in the first chapter she managed to have friends and a new hobbie all at once. At this part of my life I can't stand anymore the genki characters like the girl with two ponytails. Some table games were intereting but I don't care about table games ... |
