Synopsis

During recess, Olivia, a foreign transfer student who doesn't know English, plays a game of "look-the-other-way" with Hanako Honda, a loud-mouthed airhead. Their rowdy behavior spurs the ire of Kasumi Nomura, a deadpan loner constantly teased by her older sister for her tendency to lose games. Not willing to compete, Kasumi declines Olivia's offer to join the fun, but eventually gets involved anyway and dispenses her own brand of mischief. Soon, a strange friendship blossoms between the peculiar trio, and they decide to form the "Pastime Club," where they are free to resume their daily hijinks.

Whether it be failing to learn English, trying desperately to become popular, or getting caught by teachers at the wrong time, school life will never be boring when the girls of Asobi Asobase are up to their hilarious antics.

I originally rated this a 9/10, but over time I've actually come to appreciate it even more.

I'm not big into school life anime. I've been watching anime for over two decades now, so I've seen the setting so often that it's mostly worn out its welcome for me. I'm also a bit of a comedy snob in that I don't like a lot of comedy that makes its way into mainstream media (although that seems to be less and less these days), but the comedy that I do end up enjoying usually becomes some of my favorite stuff of all time.

So it should be considered ...

When it comes to slice of life comedy there are shows that one can’t miss, and “Asobi Asobase” is one of them. This small comedy of 12 episodes is a manga adaptation with studio Lerche at the front of the animation, and for a relatively recent show, it had to meet some high expectations.

Animation is something really important when it comes to comedy because for some scenes or dialogues to be funny, the situations and moments surrounding it must be appropriately done and set ...

I found asobi asobase in the list of the best comedies and it caught my attention and...

Comedy: of course we all know that comedy is a subjective concept, but the humor of this anime is very weak in my opinion, why is it? The humor of this anime basically consists of showing an event with exaggerated characters loudly and with strange facial movements, and it is not clever or unintelligent, as if it does not have any source material It's devoid of jokes. and yes that's why it makes all this absurdity boring and annoying for me

Characters:Olivia is one of the main trio. She claims ...
