Story - 6/10
Gambare Douki-chan (2021) has a quite simple plot, so much that I basically summarized everything in the TL;DR. But it’s cool to reinforce that 5 min per episode is a nice trip to go on.
Animation - 6/10
The art is cool and simple, not much to say.
The only part that kinda bothers me is the lack of eyes and face features in the crush. But I think I get the idea of maybe you being able to see yourself in his place or something.
Sound - 6/10
The VA is good, the voice suits the characters very well.
The opening and ending theme are cute and insert characters as they appear, which is always a nice touch.
Character - 7/10
There are like 4 characters in the show.
Douki-chan which is our shy protagonist;
Her crush who is very dumb to not see how hard the girls try to show him their feelings;
Kouhai-chan which makes EVERYTHING she can to make her Senpai (Douki-chan’s crush) notice her feelings;
Crush’s ex colleague who is a mature woman that uses her charms to try and seduce him as well.
FUN FACT: This last character is the sister of the Teacher in Miru Thights (2019). Yomverse is real.
Enjoyment - 7/10
I enjoyed the show and it’s main idea. As I said, I follow Yom’s work for a while now and I was excited for the anime to come.
I’d recommend this anime to anyone that wants a quick anime based in this romcom style. It’s merely 5 mins per episode.
