-This review will review all 3 seasons plus the special of the Working!! series.
Working is a slice of life and comedy anime. The story is set in a restaurant named Wagnaria and shows all of it's employees and their interactions with each other to create the comedy.
As it is a slice of life anime, it doesn't really have a story. Working just follows our characters and their everyday life working in Wagnaria. This anime does have character development. Season 1 is focused on introducing the characters and their running jokes. Season 2 feels the same as season 1 and still keeps up the comedy. Season 3, however, have more character development then the previous seasons. The special is a nice wrap up to conclude the series.
The comedy in this anime is good but not that amazing. All of the characters have their running gags. There are some of the jokes that i like but what i don't like is that the running jokes are overused. Some of them may be funny at first or still be funny later but i don't really like seeing the same joke being used too much. Thankfully, they don't use the joke too repetitively after some episodes.
Season 3 starts to resolve all of the character's problem that was given from the past 2 seasons. I liked seeing the character development. You can see the character development clearly between seasons especially at season 3 where the resolve all of the problems.
The art is nice and just fits the scenes. Nothing too notable from here.
All of the openings and endings in the series were sung by the series' characters. The openings was sung by the females and the ending by the males. I like when openings or endings is sung by the characters because it adds to the feeling of the opening/ending. The opening and ending has the same feeling from all seasons. The opening is upbeat and fun and the ending is a bit slower.
All of the characters has their obvious ups and downs. Some running jokes are created by the interaction of 2 characters. Even though the running jokes are overused, it's nice that they modify it to keep them funny sometimes. The side characters also have their own distinct qualities and running gags and their own share of development. Some of the characters may seem just plain dumb reacting at some situations but i think that's the part of the characters.
I enjoyed this series for some of it's comedy and the character development that i see at the last season. The jokes may be too repetitive at times but sometimes made funnier with the characters' reaction. Season 3 and the special is really nice to add the character development and to finish all of the problems that the the characters had.
I think that this anime's comedy is fine and can be enjoyed by others as well. It is worth it to watch until the end to to see all the development at Season 3. Overall it's a nice comedy anime that sometimes gets too repetitive with the jokes but still tried to make them funny. It shows the character development and ends everything at the end, not leaving anything unanswered.
