It's just a juvenile highschool drama, with a rather dumb plot and characters that are too edgy. Main characters are super cool and super pretty and super evil. Plot development is primitive and story's shortcomings are covered with harem-like scenes.
Storyline focuses on dreadful bullying and violence.
Started off rather well actually, with a teacher having to rein in a problematic class. That's a classic trope, but deteriorated into romance, bullying, nobody-understands-me cringe pretty quickly.
Recommended for enthusiasts of grim, edgy highschool dramas with pretty girls, that don't require you to think a lot.
Also, this is not a comedy. There were only a few gags early on.

A tearjerker with a pitiful main heroine who needs saving and a bully crushed by his guilt is a good read, but sadly comes off as unfinished. While dramatic side of the story draws you in, the romantic side of it leaves much to be desired.
Ms Ōima up-played the importance of a budding love of her characters, but never gave them any resolution, even in a form of a clichéd confession. Ultimately, story proves to be about overcoming one's flaws and weaknesses, and on becoming a better person.

Asobi Asobase uses classic slice of life tropes and cute characters in order to deliver bizarre comedy from hell. Characters find themselves fighting a string of easily avoidable problems, that are only made worse by the girls' awkwardness and freakiness. It's a peculiar humour, full speed extravaganza with no stops. You have been warned.
Three girls in highschool with dark and disgusting secrets find solace in each others companionship that allows them to forget their mounting insecurities. Watching some Asobi Asobase anime is advisable. Its phenomenal voice acting gave me an idea of how characters talk and how well that meshes with the theme. Recommended! |
