What’s it about ?
Five girls talking about random stuff. Adapted from a manga written by the author of Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei.
Characters
Hey, remember how the girls in SZS often devolved into a generic greek chorus sharing the same snarky personality ? It’s even worse here, where I’m utterly at a loss to remember distinguishing character traits between the five main characters.
Nominally they’re doing one-woman-show comedy routines, but the series focuses their idle talk in their break room.
Production Values
Unlike other adaptations of Kouji Kumeta’s work, this is NOT animated by Shaft, but by JC Staff. As such, it’s perfectly serviceable but utterly boringly directed.
Overall Impression
Duller than dull. Never mind all the barely translatable puns : most of the jokes are just very lame. Also, that they’re already resorting to “why would anyone animate us ?” jokes in the first episode doesn’t fill me with confidence.
I’ll give it one more episode to click, but I’m not hopeful.
