Mixed Feelings
What a comfortable series. Not for binging, though.

"Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge" isn't something I should've binged at all. The series is all about looking at a blob type kid lazing around and interacting with his friends. There isn't that much of a story, it's just vignettes of the people the titular Tanaka knows. Since it isn't that interesting, what's there to watch it for? I don't know.

At this point, these kinds of slice of life seem to happen within the same school, just different classrooms. We simply look at the stupid problems that an extremely lazy person experiences, while giving the audience the same feeling of wanting to laze around. I'd say it doesn't tell a story in general, it just shows life for a somebody that could very well exist. I can understand the appeal, but if I was there when it was a weekly series, I might have enjoyed it more.

Nice comedic moments, I laughed sometimes. Nice character designs and moments with those characters that experience cute moments of brotherhood that I definitely projected my friends on. If I had to conclude my thoughts, it's like experiencing daily life with another friend group around your town and school. Fun, cute, stupid, with a terrible end of story, mini-conflict to confirm the friendship of the characters, it should be enjoyed with bite-sized chunks.

6/10, my way of looking at manga probably ruined the series, but I know how to approach this type of story for the future.
