Preliminary (4/12 eps)
Sometimes I question myself why I continue to watch such a stupid ammount of anime each season. I know I like to keep up with the conversation, but I obsess over it and because of that I end up dropping half of the shows I initially started watching. But watching this anime reminded me of a second reason why I continue my watching: It is to find hidden gems. Last season Choukadou Girl ⅙ was my hidden gem and this season it is Joshikousei no Mudazukai. But while Choukadou Girl ⅙ was a short anime poking fun at the otaku culture, Joshikousei no Mudazukai is another beast. And I mean, ANOTHER beast. You know why?

Joshikousei no Mudazukai is my comedy of the year. And here is why.

When it comes to comedies the cast is very important. Konosuba, Nichijou, you can't have a good comedy without a good cast. And Joshikousei luckily has one. First we have the red girl (sorry I forgot all the names of the cast. give me a break there are like 10 shows I am watching right now and mal took no effort to fill in the characters section). The red girl is incredibly cynical around his group of friends, often making snarky comments around brown haired happy girl, but at home she is a big otaku who has a passion for manga drawing. Then we have the brown haired happy girl who is incredibly energetic but constantly gets herself into problems. And then we have the third main character. Get this: she is a black haired girl with a blank expression, is a genius and is incredible unpredictable, often doing outlandish things you wouldn't expect out of a school girl like her. Now where have I heard that before….

Okay I am not gonna hide the Obvious comparisons to Nichijou. The black haired girl is basically a copy of Mai, the unpredictable humor are the same with both, the wild type of characters are the same with both, but honestly Joshikousei is more similar to Asobi Asobase of last year with the more structured scenarios instead of the skit-based nature of Nichijou. That's why I have the perfect description of this anime:

Joshikousei no Mudazukai is as if Asobi Asobase had the characters of Nichijou.

And I think that combination works wonderfully. The character interactions are all either charming or hilarious, the surprising punchlines keep me off-guard, the pacing (the one similar to Asobi Asobase) is great… yeah this anime is absolutely amazing. I know this anime is not for everyone, but if you love either Asobi Asobase or Nichijou you will love this anime.
