It's been 2 years since 3D Kanojo: Real Girl happened. Why does that matter you ask? well you see, 3D Kanojo was really irritating back when it first aired, depicting certain social topics in a very infuriating way to the point of being very disrespectful: From a bad depiction of a socially akward person to manipulative romance, terrible "friends" and parents, stupid misunderstandings and what not. That anime tried to tell a tale of a socially awkward person and failed at it horribly, what does this have to do with Uzaki-chan wa asobitai? well, they're pretty similar, not just in the way the characters
...
are portrayed, but in the way that both are very irritating, and out of those two, Uzaki-chan gets the cherry on the top for being the most infuriating piece of media I've watched in my life. Up to this day I don't get why I do this to myself, I guess it's a masochist sport, but sometimes I feel like I have to contribute with a different view of something that is often overlooked, that way maybe I can help others decide whether or not something is worth their time talking about the things they might dislike.
This anime starts like your usual harmless Slice of Life RomCom, it starts from Uzaki's PoV as she greets her senpai Sakurai, cheering for a successful year in college. Time goes on and Uzaki notices that Sakurai spends his time alone, doing the things he likes in the space everyone respects. Out of curiosity, she then, decides to try to enter in Sakurai's life the next year by teasing him. On paper there's nothing wrong with this, it's like Teasing Master Takagi-san, but with college students and lewd stuff, however, the way this anime attempts to create a romcom is what went wrong. This anime manipulates the viewer into thinking that the way Uzaki treats Sakurai is cute, which, is not the case. Let's view it in Sakurai's shoes instead, Sakurai is minding his own business, enjoying life the way he wants, and then, suddenly, a girl comes in and starts bothering him and starts asking questions like "why are you always alone? do you not have friends or anything", then, proceeds to mock him due to the way he spends his time and proceeds to be a bitch about it. Is it really that hard to understand when people wants AND enjoys to be by themselves? No, instead, This show crams Uzaki into Sakurai's life like if he was a freak of nature which personality should be fixed, forcing their relationship. Still not convinced? let's twist the story this way, let's say that Uzaki is a boy, and Sakurai is the girl. What would your reaction be if Uzaki were the boy teasing the girl instead? Gross and creepy right? Most people ALWAYS side with the girl and of course, people will sympathize more with Uzaki cuz she's a girl and it's cute when girls want to ̶H̶a̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ stalk a guy, no matter if the guy wants her or not. See the problem now? Uzaki is an annoying girl, that is clingy and pushy towards a boy that just want to mind his own business, is it too hard to respect that? I know, Sakurai's dumb ass could have just rejected her, he does show his annoyance, but he does nothing with it, which, is one of the things that bothered me the most and shouldn't be ignored. This anime also spams you with exhaustive "jokes" with Uzaki's awful smug face like: "HAHAHAHA, OMG YOU'RE SUCH A LONER, COME ON, YOU'VE GOTTA LIVE SEMPAI" "OMG THAT'S SO VERY LONER OF YOU, TO BE EXPECTED OF YOU SEMPAI" Yadda yadda yadda.
The way this anime depicts introverts as freaks of nature that should be forced to "live" the way everyone else "lives" their life just because introverts are simply not "living it" is extremely irritating. As an introvert myself, I love to spend time alone and that's not a bad thing, being overwhelmed with attention is not good, it's stressful. Also, enjoying time alone doesn't mean that introverts don't like to interact with others, in fact, I do like it when I hang out with my friends, but they understand when I don't want to hang out. People shouldn't be afraid of saying "no" to others, those who respect your decision are true friends, those who don't aren't worth your time. Now, I understand that the young Japanese population is very shy and need an incentive to open themselves to others, but there's a difference between giving a small push and straight up force your way into their lives. I highly doubt ANYONE would like it if someone they're not interested in, forces their way in and overwhelms their life by being extremely annoying, pushy and clingy, the last thing they'll achieve is to be a part of their lives. This anime forces their relationship a lot, everyone ships them as if they were meant to be with each other, Sakurai's "friends" constantly mock him for "not taking the initiative" and teases him into thinking he's an idiot for not going a step further with Uzaki. This honestly pisses me off to immeasurable amounts.
Ecchi on this anime is dumb, repetitive, exhausting and irritating. Most of the jokes consists of shaming Sakurai in public with very suggestive scenes and dialogues. To create drama IN PUBLIC of things that can be misunderstood is uncalled for, Sakurai's dignity as a citizen could have been compromised just as Tsutsui from 3D Kanojo, but since everything is a joke on this anime it doesn't even matter and Sakurai has no other choice but to accept it. Misunderstandings on romance anime can be fun depending on the context and the characters, but this anime goes beyond stupidity with them, we're talking about freaking adults here, not horny highschool students, how does Uzaki's mom think that Sakurai wants to grope her breasts without considering the fact that she has a cat on her lap? Not just that, Uzaki's breasts are big enough to satisfy him, I could have taken it if Uzaki's breast were medium size, but no, they had to create a dumb misunderstanding that shouldn't have happened if these characters had common sense, but they don't. This anime is unfunny and most of the jokes are exhausted to the point of being unbearable, if someone is able to endure "OMG HAHAHA YOU'RE SUCH A LONER SEMPAI" more than 10 times, good for them, but this is a bit too much, the more I hear her screechy voice with that awful smug face, the more unbearable it gets.
Animation quality is not great, it serves it purpose just fine, but nothing memorable, there was this fireworks episode that could have been really endearing if Uzaki weren't such an annoying girl, but all the emotional weight is thrown to the gutter thanks to her. Talking about her, the sound department is deplorable, Uzaki's VA did a great job at being exceedingly annoying, most of the times the characters are screaming and that is not nice to anyone's ears, not a single music was memorable, the OP is annoying and the ED... is just there I guess.
Man, I'm tired...
I'm tired of how rom/coms are portrayed nowadays.
I'm tired of screechy, clingy, annoying anime girls.
I'm tired of stalker girls seen as cute in anime media.
I'm tired of forced anime relationships with 0 chemistry.
I'm tired of stupid misunderstandings.
I'm tired of illogical ecchi scenes
I'm tired of anime portrayal of "friends"
When will be the day where we see a new Rom/Com that isn't just a stupid waifu wars or waifu pandering garbage with no substance at all?

Uzaki-Chan is fucking cute!
Stop denying the truth, folks. Accept her as your (only) waifu. "Uzaki-chan wants to hang out" is exactly what the title suggests - just a girl who likes to have fun. It is neither deep nor unique. It is wholesome. That my guys is more than enough. I am someone who doesn't demand much from anime because by doing so I could reach a point of disappointment beyond any help, but I was utterly pleased with this and couldn't be happier. Uzaki-chan talks about Uzaki and her senpai Shinichi spending their time together. She is this little girl with dekai tits and her ... Jul 31, 2020
Uzaki Chan isn’t a complicated series but for its genre it’s really good in all departments and as a manga reader it only gets better on from here content wise. Now I’m being a little partial since this is one of my favorite series but otherwise I’ll be fair with a review if the anime adaptation sucks, in this case it doesn’t suck because besides few background characters from afar are sometimes CGI from a far shot( like most anime’s) the animation is smooth and simple and definitely makes Uzaki Chan’s expressions shine more. Though admittedly the studio behind the series sometimes makes Uzaki’s eyes

I feel very conflicted about this series, more than just the comedic rom-com that all of its genres seemingly is mashed together to create a lookalike Takagi/Nagatoro-san, but with slice-of-life-ish ecchi that is boisteringly over the top baseless and full of cringe. With that said, this review is gonna be SUGOI DEKAI to the max, and I don't freaking care, because love it or hate it, Uzaki-chan TRULY wants to hang out to the extreme, and her "Annoying! Cute! But Annoying!" persona to the manga of the same name that mangaka Take depicts her of, call it NSFW, SJW or other fap tags you'd think

Uzaki-chan is a small girl with a sugoi dekai…heart. And breasts. Abnormally large breasts. I mean seriously, is this girl ok? Her proportions give cause for concern. The main dude should really get her a doctor or something!
The anime itself is pretty simplistic. It’s basically akin to Nagatoro-san and Takagi-san in that it features a cute girl pestering a flustered guy with the end goal being that they’ll probably get together by the conclusion of the series. Except so far, I don’t believe that Uzaki-chan has reached the level of the two aforementioned series. The comedy and interactions between the protagonists has had its ... Sep 25, 2020
[TLDR at the bottom]
Look at the poster for this anime. You see that thing? That sad excuse of a character design? Those giant fucking eyes with that stupid fucking hair with that obviously pandering skin fang? Those stupidly massive tits that take up half of her body mass? Just one look at this anime version of a skin gremlin is enough to tell you about her entire personality. Just as she looks like a monster, she acts like a monster. Constantly annoying people that are just minding their own business. Constantly trying to grab someone's attention. Constantly laughing in your face at your expense. Constantly ... Sep 25, 2020
I’d like to consider myself an observer rather than an active participant in the pernicious social media discourse that’ll orbit a show like this on principle. People fascinate me, truly, because in the midst of what has been the most challenging and bizarre year in our contemporary human history, we can still find the mental vacancy to compartmentalize all of that bullshit and draw our ire towards the REAL issues...the Tid. Or more specifically, the 2D Tid, you know, like the kind you can’t feel? But I guess to properly enjoy a show like “Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!”, you need A LOT of mental vacancy. I’m

As an incoming college student, I actually would want to see some of my underclassmen go to the same school as mine when I become a second year. The sheer happiness of someone who you spent time with still goes with you in a different school is just amazing to think about. This is why I can really relate, or more accurately, be somewhat jealous of what's happening in this series.
Four episodes have passed since this series has started, but all of my opinions since episode one still hold true, if not, becoming better each episode that passes by. The story is about Hana ... Sep 26, 2020
"Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!" is one of the most offensive anime I have seen. And by that I don't mean offensive jokes, or gore, or something like that. What I mean is that the show has no respect for its audience. It knows the bare minimum required for its target audience to eat it up, so it does that, and nothing else. There was next to no effort put into this show.
Let's get the Twitter drama out of the way. I do not like Uzaki's design. Not because it's "problematic", but because I just hate characters with massive boobs. But that's just personal preference. The ... Jul 31, 2020
Uzaki-chan was a pleasant surprise of this season.
In a way, almost every anime that came out on Summer 2020 ought to be a pleasant surprise, since, you know. BUT uzaki-chan really amazed me It's a story about two college students who, by the sake of destiny, are together to ~hang out~. And they are as sweet as a college student can be. Uzaki-chan is a dream friend, she is cute, energetic, caring and has a ~Sugoi Dekai~ pack. And her senpai is everything she isn't, and they make THIS messy relationship to have so much chemistry together, it's really a relief. Sure it has a ... Sep 25, 2020
I gladly present you Hitomi Tanaka-chan Wants to Hang Out! review.
Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! focuses on Hana Uzaki, who meets her high school friend and senpai, Shinichi Sakurai. Having observed his actions for some time, Uzaki comes to the conclusion that her beloved senpai has started to act like a grumpy old man and that he hardly has any friends because of that. Hana, without giving it a thought, immediately decides to fix this unjust cruelty and to hang out with a lonely senpai of hers. I am going to be honest here, this is going to be the most difficult review out of all ... Aug 17, 2020
An insanely derivative anime. Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai is dull even for the SoL genre.
The artistic style is neither awful or revolutionary, it's just fine. This anime sports an artistic style akin to any other generic SoL anime made after 2010. The characters are boring. The only redeeming or memorable character is Uzaki herself, but that isn't saying much. The protag comes off as a one dimensional self-insert character. The story itself is non-existent, it's a trope-filled SoL/RomCom like any other. Expect cliches like beach or shopping episodes. And by far it's worst trait: it fails as a comedy. The "jokes" often end up being unintentionally ... Apr 4, 2021
Uzaki-chan wants to hang out because she’s an irritating bitch who has no social graces. She doesn’t care if you want to be alone and live your life how you want to live it. No. If you aren’t living how she thinks you should be then she’s going to annoy and pester you until you submit. Some people may like that. I do not.
My two biggest complaints about this anime are Uzaki herself, and that stupid ugly-ass cat. Uzaki is just plan annoying and despisable. She is rude, loud, obnoxious, selfish, and irritating to a level that I’ve rarely seen. The anime tries to paint ... Jul 31, 2020
A pretty simple concept, but one that I really like.
Similar to anime like Takagi-san or to manga like Gal Gohan. The main core of this anime is Uzaki-chan and I like her a lot, she has a really nice character. She teases the main character just right and is really cute on top of that. I also like that she is not just teasing him because, but because she cares about him and doesn't want him to be a loner all the time. There are also a lot of funny scenes and Uzaki-chan is not the stereotypical tsundere, but an unique character. The main character is also fine, not ... Jun 24, 2022
I am not going to lie, I came into watching Uzaki-chan with little to no expectations. In fact, if anything I was hoping it would fill the occasional craving I get for viewing a “bad” anime, where the show’s poor story, bad characters, and laughable animation create a surreal cocktail of unintentional humor, and with Uzaki-chan’s main selling point seemingly being that its a troll comedy series with the main gimmick being Uzaki’s outlandish proportions you can’t really blame me for having such low expectations. However, in the end, Uzaki-chan surprised me by exciding my expectations and instead of being a much more mediocre experience

When you first see this anime you might think that it’s just the same old anime where the male mc is awkward and a nerd and female mc is popular and a tsundere and they repeat the same jokes and in the end they fall in love with each other, but sorry to disappoint you that’s not the case. Uzaki chan wants to hangout is a masterpiece of slice of life and comedy genre! Episode after episode I craved to have a glimpse of this anime, I Laughed a lot and if this anime doesn’t get a second season... *sad music* MY HEART. WOULD

I don't know why people give such a harsh review. Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! is a very simple straightforward anime - a girl who's trying to help her sempai have a more interesting life. Sure, the plot is cliche, but once you watch many styled anime like this, the story frame is usually going to be the same, it's just of a matter of how they execute it.
I like the art of the character, I'm not expecting a 'blow me away' animation like Makoto Shinkai's animations. The theme song kinda gives me the Haganai vibes, not sure if it is the same artist but it ... Aug 23, 2020
TL;DR Amazing rom-com and the rumors/things people are saying are simply not true. Give it a watch, give it a read and see it for yourself. Its funny, adorable, and truly one of the best romances I've seen in a long time.
Firstly I need to say do not listen to the ridiculous things people say about this story/characters. People are acting like they've never seen an anime girl with large breasts and that their very existence is a crime against humanity. Also there is little to ZERO fanservice, I honestly think these people don't even read the manga or watch the anime. That being said ... Apr 13, 2021
I completely agree with Adol Zeppeli's review of this piece of upsetting garbage. Adol's well-written and thoughtout commentary is spot on.
Although I enjoy the slice of life genre, this story has no redeeming qualties. The mc , Hazaki, is the most annoying character ever! Its unknown why she thinks verbally assualting another person is a likeable trait. The glimpse of her high school life doesn't reflect her current personality. Kick this girl to the curb. She is mean and has little respect for Sakurai. Going as far as getting a job at the same cafe just to get ... Aug 14, 2020
I generally rate high and give more importance to ease of reading and enjoyment while typing a review rather than using rocket science language to make an actually meaningless review sound superior.
(Tldr at the end) Story: 4/10 It's about a chick named uzaki who like to hang out with her senpai Who's a loner. Not original at all, and this anime in particular is not even good at executing the plot. Art: 5/10 Very mediocre. Nothing much to see here. Characters barely have movement and look lifeless, art is sometimes off model. ... |
