Reviews

I've finished this a long time ago so my memory is pretty hazy about the events that happened in this show so my review may not be a good read to measure if you should watch it or not. Regardless, I still want to make a review because I remembered wanting to make one for this back then but just forgot after some time and now it all came back to me so no one can stop me from doing this one now.

Story - 7

I remember it being a slice of life so there's not much to say about the story. I think where it does shine is in the character department because that's slice of life's bread and butter but that, I will talk about later. So back to story, it's a comedy and is about the protagonist adventures in her road to school. Different ideas were presented each episode and the comedies are built upon these and they made me laugh and engrossed so I'd say it's very well executed in my dictionary. I think this show aired at the same time as Asobi Asobase, another great comedy show, though I think Chio-chan is funnier for me. I just like how dead pan the humor was. Some say that's not how the manga executed the comedy parts and these made the anime adaptation worse for them but for me who had not read yet about the manga, it's what made the show so much hilarious. The awkward delivery of the humor, which I felt was the intent of the director that did this show, and the reactions of the characters that's pretty weird both in and out of context, combine it with how the art style depicted the overall aesthetics of the show, it's a weird combination but a good one.

Art - 8
The art style was on point. What was shown on screen served to amplify the comedy behind every scenes.

Sound - 8
The sound was on point. What was played on screen also served to amplify the comedy behind every scenes.

Character - 9
This was, as far as I remember, the highlight of the show and they definitely did well in amplifying the comedy parts with every other episode introducing different characters with quirks that were taken advantage of later episodes to produce comedic hijinks that made for inducing a heartful laughter in me, as far as my memory serves. The protagonist was a great straight woman, (straight, meaning in the japan "manzai") and her pointing out the weirdness of the stuff happening around her(and to her) was also hilarious.

Enjoyment - 10
I enjoyed this a lot. It made me laugh more than Asobi Asobase during the time this and that were airing as far as I remembered. They were both good though so they're definitely a must watch if you want to laugh a lot.

Overall (7+8+8+9+10)/5 = 8.4
