The story of Yuyushiki could not me more of a typical school slice of life story. Apart from the overly random pieces put throughout the anime, it could not be any more of a normal life story of the high school lives of the three main characters from the start of their first year until the start of their third year. Nothing major ever happens and the entire anime as its filled with that of what starts out as a normal conversation and always ends up getting out of hand, sometimes in ridiculously humor filled ways.
The art style of this anime is a very basic, almost childish one as it's never anything too fancy or complex and everything is kept simple but fitting to the scene. Anyone other than main or secondary characters don't even have a hope of getting color to them and even then to portray different facial expressions they more than a few times will drop the color of a characters eyes or change it to a heavy gradient. Apart from this everything is cell shaded with only little to none in the way of tones for anything but afternoon scenes and clouds.
Music and sound also keeps a very childish feel to it as whenever sounds are played that aren't an object moving or being placed, they seem like something right out of a gag reel. The music when used always manages to keep a mellow mood unless one of the characters is going off on a random tangent that had nothing to do with anything else but for humor purposes. If anything it keeps the viewer calm and readies them for a laugh or a giggle when topic derailing happens.
Character is one of a let down topic. We find out about how far back the relationship is between two of the main characters but not of the third. All we know is that they all knew each other before high school but how far back and how the final member came in is not explained. Other side characters are left with noting more than "They are class mates" leaving the viewer knowing little to nothing about most of characters in the show and are just expected to enjoy as is.
Overall enjoyment wavers constantly as some episodes were slow and boring while others had a continuation of one - two knock out humor lines that span and entire episode, producing at least a chuckle from the viewer as they wonder what the hell are they even watching. A few times humor is attempted but is so poorly executed to the point where when it moves on you wonder "What that a joke? Was that even meant to be funny?" and this makes you miss out of the first few opening lines on the next scene/skit they attempt.
