Tonari no Seki-kun

[MFauli]

1618


The boy who sits next to Yokoi in class, Seki-kun, is always up to something at his desk. He manages to somehow play very elaborate games without attracting the teacher's attention. From dominos, to shogi, to go, to mecha models, to playing with cats and more, he always has something new to do. Yokoi often finds herself getting reluctantly interested in his games, even though they always seem to end up getting HER in trouble with the teacher!

Just watched the first episode. The 7-minute-format makes this show work for me. Just short enough to not get tiresome. I almost spit out my milk when the girl thought "he´s actually giving me an accusatory look!". So fantastic. Seeing her getting scolded by the teacher when Seki is the one at fault is hilarious, too.

Curious what else we´ll see Seki do :D

It's an entertaining show, and the episode length is just right. But I don't think there's really anything to discuss about.

[MFauli]

well, you can always talk about what you liked or didnt. point in case, the second episode continued to be hilarious. It makes me wonder if this anime will have some overarching plot progress, since the girl seems to be able to perfectly assume Seki-kun´s mind. Some coupling potential there :>

It's true, but I could bet Yakomaru's front teeth on nothing happening. After all, if I've understood it correctly, this show will never present anything else but that one corner of the classroom, and every time a new trick by Seki. I was actually pleasantly surprised by Yokoi getting so into it and not only complaining and trying to get Seki to stop.

[MFauli]

gotta say. i really like the ending. both the music and the animation feel like im watching some 90s anime. feels good.

the static effect was lol.

[MFauli]

lol, ep 6 and 7 were great.

The anime actually keeps evolving its formula and there´s even somewhat of a plot progression. First you have Yokoi going against Seki´s treatment of the transformers family, then it seems a setup for a love story has been set in motion. Really nice to watch.

[MFauli]

Haha, they really need to become a couple. This whole episode only worked thanks to Yokoi´s imagination being on par with Seki´s. Best moment was when the teacher was turned into an ally, haha.

Fantastic episode. Not only did they turn knitting into something epic (which reminded me of the way Gintama overemphasizes ridiculous stuff), but Yokoi even further took over the role of the lunatic. What Seki did, wasnt even that outrageous, but it tiggered Yokoi´s inner knitting demon and made her imagine the most hilarious stuff.

Can´t wait for the inevitable confession inmidest of the class lol.
