This anime flew completely under the radar of this seasons shows. Granted, so do a lot of other great shows but this particular one kind of made me mad at the majority of people who look for the first show in the shounen genre, or the first show to come up as the most popular by majority. I wish people would pay more attention to great and humorous shows like these.
Our three main characters are, Nozomu "Baka" Tanaka, Akane "Wota" Kikuchi, and Shiori "Robo" Saginomiya.
What I noticed right off the bat is that the characters are basically more or less are exactly the same characters as Yuuko, Mio, and Mai from Nichijou. A quick run down of the characters:
Nozomu, aka "Baka", gained this nickname for giving all her friends equally stupid names, hence, "Baka". She constantly likes to ask dumb questions (without knowing it), never does her homework, and amuses her friend(s), although its mostly Robo/Shiori.
Akane, aka "Wota" gained this nickname for being an Otaku, in her spare time she likes to draw BL/manga, kind of secretive about it, and is pretty much the only normal person in this series.
And then we have Shiori, aka "Robo", because she hardly expresses any emotions at all, She is very smart, somewhat strange, and gets a kick out of talking to Nozomu/Baka.
As I mentioned before, the characters show almost identical characteristics to those of our MCs in Nichijou. (Yuuko=Nozomu "Baka", Mio=Akane "Wota", and Mai=Shiori "Robo".)
And do I have a problem with this? Nope. The show has many more characters along side our MCs and shares a very similar feel to Asobi Asobase, which personally I think is a good thing. Humor is Humor and I really cant get enough of it. This show has its fair share of snide remarks, some form of meta jokes, awesome character interaction, and quite a lot more but my break is almost over and I don't have enough time for that. I really do get the feeling that we are watching the characters in their day to day life, instead of the characters living for the camera, which makes it all the more hilarious, considering basically no one is going to act like that in real life. Although the art is pretty, well, meh, without any other way to put it, its still averageish and I can let it slide.
So overall, I recommend this show along side any other golden comedy shows you can get your hands on, but none will be exactly the same as the other, which is good when it comes to comedy because originality is much needed so we can laugh at snide remarks all over again. We need much more shows like these, but please, when you have some time on your hands, go take a look at this show. You might enjoy it.
