“Why use style over substance, when you can use style to fake substance”
~RealKurapikaTard (RIP)

--SPOILER FREE REVIEW BECAUSE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS IN THIS CRAP WORTH MENTIONING--

This was a frustrating watch to say the least. Expectations were non existent and this still left me in a sour mood.Comedy is a genre that is the most controversial to work with and critique, after all what someone finds funny differs from person to person.
But never have I seen such a bland, repetitive, generic piece of media that has ridden the hype train so far, that a vast majority of viewers actually think it is good in any way.

I went ... into Komi expecting a story similar to A Silent voice(Koe no Katachi) where the work atleast attempts to tackle social issues and disorders present in kids and young teens head-on seriously, but instead all I got was an overexaggerated, pathetic, kawaiified version for otakus to call their waifu and goddess. The characters are singlehandedly the worst part of the show. Every single character is a cardboard cut-out generic excuse for substance and has absolutely nothing unique or interesting about them. Characters and plot don't always need to have excellent writing with deep morals or philosophy behind them to be enjoyable but when a piece of art fails even to suffice the bare minimum you can rest assured that it is not worth a minute of your time.

Komi and her disorder is unnecessarily exaggerated and treated as a gag joke that got old in 3 eps. She has nothing going for her except that every person in the show drools over her and are obsessed with doing anything remotely close to her.
Tadano is a bland typical dense shy nice guy that we've seen a hundred times already. Himiko the stupid masochistic submissive dog female who's name I googled ten minutes back, is perhaps the unfunniest and cringiest character ever. Her existence makes me skip scenes as if I were watching a kissing scene in a movie with my parents.

Every episode plays out exactly the same way.
-Komi has a problem
-The whole world bows at her feet and worships her
-They make a few dumb jokes. Show a little bit of teasing and hints relating to romance. Some character either gets in the way of things or Tadano is too stupid and dense.
-Problem solved everyone happy
-REPEAT THE SAME SHIT.
There's absolutely no change in plot structure, jokes or any sort of development and it was tiresome to get through.

On a more positive side atleast the art and opening is good or else I wouldn't have even completed the show. The animation is fluid and crisp, although the Music and the character designs are nothing worth speaking of.

CONCLUSION:
It is nothing more than plain average predictable unfunny comedy that outstayed it's welcome. If you're looking for a show to play in the background and still follow without paying any attention to prevent losing braincells I highly recommend this. If you don't want to waste your time find something else from the plethora of titles available for your consumption.
