FFFpeeps - Episode 12


----------------------

I was 100% sure Popura would ask for Takanashi to cross-dress. In any case, I found out first hand how much it hurts to get hit in the face today (hook to the chin), and it wasn't even serious (random, muck-around-flypunch). It came from my left, and my left jaw muscles have been sore all day....

It's a wonder Takanashi isn't dead.

Himatsubushi - Episode 13



-------------------------------------------

And so it finishes (for now).

Not much to say about this series, as the above discussion (or lack thereof) shows. Towards the middle I pretty much got used to the humour (thanks to such strange staff), and was rather ticked off with Inami's abuse until around the time we learned that she likes him/it's not her fault - I can't remember which.

I think this is one of the best shows this season. It doesn't strike up discussion since it is a slice of life show, but it was solid in all aspects. Even Inami who I hated with a passion slowly developed and in the process grew on me quite a bit.

This show doesn't (usually) make you laugh out loud, mainly because it doesn't try to. It is a relaxing way to have some chuckles and a lot of fun. All the episodes were enjoyable, and aside from Inami's first impression, I can't think of anything negative to say, which is quite rare.

We're on the fifth episode of season 2, and there are no posts yet.

But I'm not really surprised. Why? Because Working isn't as good as it was last season. There are two reasons is one reason for this.

1) Yamada. She's a horrible character. Apparently the author or the staff on the anime really like her, because since she was introduced last season, she never gets less than 7 minutes of screen time per episode. None of it deserved. She's not funny. Her most significant change the entire time she's been around is that now she wants to get adopted. She isn't entertaining. All of her scenes are of her whining about how lazy she should be allowed to be. She does less than Kyouko does! There's nothing more to her character. She has none of the quirks or range of emotions the other characters have. Yamada is a one-dimensional character, a running gag that isn't funny to begin with.

There hasn't been enough of anyone else, because they've been displaced by Yamada. Inami has had less than 4 minutes per episode this season, and only one short scene was actually about her. She's a major character, reduced to being there simply to say someone's name at the end of the scene. Has she even punched anyone more than the one time? They still haven't bothered to introduce the "normal" girl, though maybe that is intentional. Even Takanashi and Taneshima get reduced interaction time because Yamada always butts in.

In fact, her only good scene this season was Nazuna messing with her. If this series was focused on the Takanashi sisters, it would be a substantially better series. But it isn't. It's apparently about Yamada. Ugh.

I'm watching this but there seriously isn't anything to talk about in it. Perhaps now less than ever since, like you said, it's been so much about Yamada and she drives the show absolutely nowhere being completely static. However, I don't hate her as much as you probably do. I still find this a funny series.
