This show is aptly named "The Wasteful Days of High School Girls" because it was indeed a waste of my days watching it. All of the reviews so far are touting this as the best comedy of the year, but I just don't see it. Let's see why:

Story - 3

To be fair, there is no story. It's a collection of day-to-day activities following three girls and their class. In lieu of a story, I rate this based on character development, which I will elaborate on below.

Art - 6

Nothing great, nothing terrible.

Sound - 6

Appropriate, but nothing truly memorable.

Character - 3

The major issue with this show is it's characters. All of the characters are boring and one-dimensional, most of whom can be described in 2-3 words. The "main three" are pretty bland and most of their time is spent on Baka's unbearable stupidity and the reactions the others have to it. The other girls in the class are all equally as dull, but since they are given less screen time overall, it's much less noticeable. The teacher is the only character consistently fun to watch.

There is very little effort put in to exploring the characters or developing them. In fact, the only character that got any sort of meaningful development was Wota, and that episode was the best of the show. They gave the spotlight to a few characters, but nobody did much with the time except highlight the one character trait they have.

Enjoyment - 3

The comedy of this show was very hit-or-miss to me, mostly missing. Most of the time I found myself only chuckling once or twice per episode. Occasionally I actually got a laugh out. For a comedy, that's just unacceptable.

Overall - 4

This show was simply not good. I watched it hoping for something similar to Asobi Asobase, but I got a cheap knock off with a bloated cast of cardboard cutouts.

I saw a lot of people raving about this show being 'comedy gold' and 'the funniest show of the season' but I only found a dull show that dragged on more than it needed to.

TL;DR:

This show is highly overrated and I don't recommend you watch it unless you have a lot of extra time and have a very generous sense of humor. The jokes are rarely funny and the characters are really boring.
