Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

At the start of her freshman year in college, Hana Uzaki reunites with Shinichi Sakurai, an upperclassman who was in the same club as her during her high school days. However, much to her surprise, the once active senior has ended up becoming a "lonesome" student, preferring to spend his free time in quiet peace.

Uzaki does whatever she can to keep Sakurai from being "alone," from convincing him to go to the movies to going to his part-time workplace. While Sakurai finds her irritating and tiresome, he still goes along with Uzaki's hijinks and shenanigans, even if he knows that her perky personality will only lead the two of them into various comical situations.

Even so, as the days pass by, their relationship only gets better, to the point where people around them misinterpret them to be a couple. At any rate, whenever Uzaki wants to hang out with her upperclassman, fun and adorable wackiness is sure to follow!

Uzaki wants to hang out is like Nagatoro but slightly less insufferable. Watch this if theres nothing better to do.

Uzaki as a character somehow manages to have no personality and MAAAASIVEEE personality at the same time, which really adds depth to the character i think for sure undoubtably naturally as a matter of course. Average romcom, makes up for their shortcomings with two big massive bundles of fun!

There are no significant plot points at all. She likes him, he's a bit of a brick. Personally, this anime is a little bit difficult to watch without imagining her as a chid. do with that information what ... you will.

Eh its fine i guess, bit of a dud

An anime that improves over the course of its episodes, from a bad anime or one I didn't like at all to becoming an entertaining anime. I'm not saying it's the best romance anime I've ever seen, but it's an entertaining one to pass the time. This anime is also aimed at a very specific audience. For example, I don't like love stories where the protagonists speak rudely or treat each other badly. I prefer a slightly more romantic love story with scenes that make the protagonists love each other more and more. That's not the case here. From time to time, there are scenes ... that are a bit too risqué for the teenage audience who's watching it because the protagonist, Teo, has big breasts.
If you want a slightly risqué romance anime, I think this is a good option. Although it's not an anime I would watch or recommend, I know many people will like the story and characters in this anime.

Español.
Un anime que va mejorando en el transcurso de sus episodios, de un anime malo o que no me gustaba nada a convertirse en un anime que es entretenido. No digo que sea el mejor anime de romance que haya visto pero es uno entretenido para pasar el rato. También este anime va dirigido para un público muy en particular, por ejemplo amo no me gustan las historias de amor en que los protagonistas se hablan feo o se tratan mal, prefiero más un amor un poco más romántico y con escenas que hagan que los protagonistas se quieran más y más, aquí ese no es el caso, de vez en cuando hay escenas un poco subidas de tono para ese público adolescente que lo está viendo porque la protagonistas Teo en grandes pechos.
Si quieren un anime de romance un poco subido de tono creo esta es una buena opción, aunque no es un anime que yo vería o recomendaría sé que a muchas personas les gustará la historia y los personajes de este anime.

Where do I even start with this trainwreck? As an introvert myself, I was expecting a relatable and lighthearted anime. But nope, what I got was a cringeworthy show that mocks and belittles introvert personality.

The main character, Shinichi, is basically a caricature of every introvert stereotype. And Uzaki-chan? More like Uzaki-chan Wants to Annoy the Crap Out of Me. Her constant nagging and forcing Shinichi to socialize made me want to scream. Newsflash, creators: being an introvert isn't a problem that needs to be 'fixed'!

I was really looking forward to a cute and funny anime, but what I got was a shallow and insensitive show ... that fails to understand the beauty of introversion. It's like the creators thought, "Hey, let's make fun of those quiet people and force them to be more like us!" Um, no thanks.

Overall, I'd give this anime a solid 1/10. It's a waste of time, and honestly, it made me feel pretty crappy about myself. If you're an introvert like me, trust me and skip this one. Your mental health will thank you.
