Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi

The romance with Igarashi & Takeda is alright and the story is decent. It shows you the real ups and downs of having an office relationship, even if there is a height difference.

But to be honest I like the more simple romance between Sakurai & Kazama more, and it would probably be a better romance theme in an office building than Igarashi & Takeda.
My explanation of why this is better would be, that its my opinion. But if I had to explain it I would go to three points:
1: Their simplicity makes the relationship much more relatable with an office environment.
2: Their story-line is much ... more lighthearted and shows the slower side of life, which is much better in my opinion for a romance & comedy anime.
3. Their characters really have a good chemistry, which makes them really enjoyable to watch on screen.

I don't know if others agree with me on this, but I would like to see a side story between Sakurai & Kazama, it would be a good side story to watch. For the main story though with Igarashi & Takeda, it was still a decent watch, although I felt like it was more engaged with the story with Sakurai & Kazama. But opinions are opinions.

Overall this show is good, although a little slow at times. A second season would be a decent watch if one ever comes out.
7/10

Cute but boring.

Futaba is a cute flat-chested pipsqueak office worker. Who gets angry when people treat her like a little kid. She is bothered by the fact that her girlfriends tend to get attention due to their boobs.
She wants to be seen as a woman by her coworker Takeda who is the complete opposite of Futaba. In that he is big, tall, loud and gentle.

Funny enough the two characters you’d think would be the main characters of a romance slice of life, Kazama and Sakurai, are the side characters.
Sakurai is the “perfect girl” whose sweet and who all the guys want. Kazama is the quiet ... shy guy that the perfect girl likes. As cliché as these characters are their love story is somehow much more interesting than the main characters.

It tries to be an endearing love story but the characters don’t have interesting enough chemistry with each other. So whether they end up together or with someone else makes no difference.
Typically in this genre you must get the viewer absolutely wanting the two main characters to get together. Here thats just not the case. These two main characters don’t actually need to get together. There are no stakes here. Each episode just exists. I can barely remember anything that happens.

Futaba works as a main character.
But Takeda just isnt main character material. He’s main-character’s-loud-friend material. Or main-character’s-dad material.
And he’s way too asexual for a romance slice of life.

This anime is very very very very average.

My sempai is annoying.....You can say that again, so let get down to business.

Story-Mediocre 5: What we basically have here was a combination of Toradora with Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, Service X Service and Working, but with a sub romance pertaining to Sakurai and Kazama has that added Wotaku in it and we can see that a certain original Creator , named Shiromanta got his inspiration from those said anime.

Art-Good 7: Cu'z there were those quintessential swimsuit services where we see both Kurobe, Natsumi and Sakurai, Touko being hot.

Sound-fair 6: Cu'z I basically have no qualms as to who did who.

Character-Mediocre 5: For the ... Takeda, Harumi X Igarashi, Futaba was more like a Toradora romance, where we have a tsundere/damsel In distress Igarashi in a what can be called as a sempai , kohai relationship of sorts , with a Dere Dere / Knight in Shining armor , Takeda, now as the anime title says Takeda was more like a Takagi from Karakai Jozu No Takagi-san, except here he's a big guy who can protect and treat his girl like a princess, now Igarashi was more like a Niskata from same anime, but here she was more like a tsundere who can do things on her own but defend herself from bad people. Her relationship with her sempai was more like an on and off thing where a one point she hates him for his constant teasing to which she gets treated like a little girl. Now Takeda on the other hand , was just creepy giving that he has lolicon tendency.....Now on to the next romantic couple, Kazama, Souta X Sakurai, Touko, if you'll look at it they're pretty much an extension of Wotaku, to which there is that passive guy to outgoing girl kind of relationship....Of course how can I forget Kurobe, Natsumi whom has that soutacon thing for Sakurai, Yuuto, well it was good but kinda creepy cu'z it can only mean that Kurobe was a Lolicon.

Enjoyment-Decent 4: One part of me likes this , but there was that part of me , to which I hate this thing.

Overall-Decent 4: This was just something that you would either like it or hate it, either way watch it a decide for yourself.....

Season 2......? Maybe or maybe not.
