Synopsis

Africa no Salaryman is a slapstick workplace comedy that follows the adventures of kind Lion, jaded Lizard, and perverted Toucan, as they trudge through office life while also becoming caught up in antics no regular office worker should.

Of course, most of these are the fault of Toucan, whose selfish actions and lack of filter still haven't gotten him fired. It's up to Lizard and Lion to keep themselves out of trouble and hang on to their jobs at the office. But trouble is never too far away from these savannah-treading folk.

Background

Africa no Salaryman was originally serialized online on pixiv Comic beginning in December, 2014. Media Factory has since compiled its chapters into four tankoubon volumes. In June of 2017, an ONA streamed on Production I.G.'s Tate Anime (since renamed Anime Beans) before the production of a television anime series.

This anime is so weird that it had to be made by some drunk college kid. The animation is beyond weird, all the cgi looks like it was made in gmod or sfm. We have three main characters. Lion is this humble and a bit laidback. Toucan is crazy, gets a lot of ladies. He is the best character. Then the last one is lizard. He probably is the most responsible of the two. Still he is funny as heck. Consider the fact that one person did most of the thing, it is perfection. The comedy is super funny. The story is not much(what do ...

I'm really surprised that this flew under the radar for most people despite it being one of the more interesting anime to air this season. It's funny, has some decent characters, and it's something fresh from what is usually coming out of anime studios from Japan. At least give the first 2 or 3 episodes a try, if the first couple episodes aren't your cup of tea, then it might not be for you.
Sound and background music fits the show, the art and 3d actually works decent with the show, and the story is kept simple. Overall, I enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend ...

“At almost no point in that story did I feel any sympathy for you.”

What I expected - Aggretsuko, male version. What I got - an unholy abomination made out of the body parts of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Bojack Horseman, and Happy Tree Friends.

The eclectic nature of this show is most visible in its animation - one third traditional drawings, one third ugly-cute motion capture (the PV of the voice actors in facepaint posing for reference photos is what made me watch this in the first place), and one third surreal animation disasters reminiscent of the early 00s Newgrounds flash animations.

“Surreal” is also the ...
