Asobi Asobase Specials

A person once told me "Having lots of siblings is like having built-in best friends." another said "It is strange when you're a loser in college, which I was, to then get your own show."

Asobi Asobase bringing us two skits in 2 episodes at 6 minutes a piece, "Little Brother" where it looks at Hanako's little brother Kentarou voiced by Eishin Fudemura who had a small cameo in the original season who's the polar opposite to Hanako in every way having some fun at the park, the other "Armstrong" on Hanako, Olivia and Kasumi having an arm wrestle competition...you know where both of them are ... going...especially since we're dealing with the Pastimers Club.

To be honest, "Little Brother" got LA to laugh out more than "Armstrong" but both skits are VERY good with Hanako at the helm of both of them and pretty much Hanako being the MVP of these specials.

The animation and voice acting once again are in top form, with the aniamtion done once again by Lerche having the same aesthetics to the original season, while o the voice acting side, well Hanako's voice actor Hina Kino just blows it out of the ark merely for her shrill near mandrakekean cadence just oozes from her nearly every time Hanako speaks and she along with Rika Nagae as Olivia and Konomi Kohara as Kasumi hamming it up to high heaven and LA just loved it!

These specials are pretty much for those thirsty for more of the crazy batshitty comedy and sure it's essentially 2 skits spanning 12 minutes in total but still it's still the same as the original season and more batshit insanity. LA liked these specials, without a doubt and really wants more of Hina Kino's shrill mandrake cadence to flow and the same batshit insane off the bar comedy from Asobi Aosbase

i found Asobi Asobase through a suggestion by another MAL user and i will probably thank them every day of my life for bringing me to this gem of an anime

story (8/10): these stories are great! the first little skit is about the girls running into Hanako's little brother and hanging out with him. the second skit has to do with the girls determining who amongst them is the weakest through arm wrestling.

i loved these skits because they very well made and tbh they could have put in the main anime. they run the same feel and the skits were just as enjoyable. the arm ... wrestling skit made me chuckle a little more than the other but it was still really good

art & sound (8/10): everything about the special is the same as the main anime and its really good

characters (8/10): the special doesnt add anyone weve never met before but it does show us a little more of the characters that werent able to shine in the main anime (those characters being Hanako's brother and Tsugumi Aozora) Hanako's brother is interesting and hopefully there will be a second season and they will feature him more

enjoyment (8/10): i really loved the series, so this was just a little bonus by having to well made skits to watch to pass the time!!! heres to hoping theres a second season!!!

Asobi Asobase Specials (2018)

A continuation of the show essentially 2 parts that would make up half of an episode.

Again the story doesn't really matter outside of it being a school with after school activity set up.

The art is of a very hilarious nature and is consistently great.

The soundtracks are still amazing and the general sounds are great.

Characters continue on as normal and we get to see some more supporting cast members that were either only around for a short time or only mentioned by name. Continues on with the themes carrying on the same direction from the main show which is ... perfect.

It is a great and enjoyable set of specials. Unlike many specials, it is actually content to watch as opposed to some side skit that offers little. I would definitely say it is worth watching.
