Okey, boys and girls, if you've ever seen a joke about blood type in anime, manga or other japanese / korean sources, rise your hand. Whoa, quite a lot. Now those of you, who's good at understanding them, lower your hand. Not too many, i see.
To tell you the truth, i'm baaaaaad at understanding those blood-type jokes. And i'm lucky as well, so i come upon these kind of jokes pretty often (though in the last two years there've been less newly aired shows with blood-related humour). Anyway, each time i saw that joke i had to google about the blood types. But if
...
the joke's beed explained, it's no longer funny, you know.
And then i saw this anime announced. I got pretty much excited and, in a way, happy. At last i'll be able to understand that specific japanese humour and to laugh at those jokes, i thought.
So far i've watched 6 episodes and never got disappointed. It's fun to watch how the four blood types (A, B, AB, O) are dealing with different situations. The show exaggerates stereotypes about how blood type influences personality, but it actually is fun. Which blood type is better at making a girlfriend and which sucks? Which one is quick to act in danger and which has trouble even desiding upon restaurant menu?
What's good about this show, it's that it not only shows how the blood types act, it's also about what they think of each other. Believe me, that's a lot of fun.
I wouldn't call the anime hilarious as i'm not japanese and still bad at getting those jokes (i'm worse only at their worldplay jokes). But it's amusing and laughable, and for me it's cognitive in a way. So i do think you should give it a try.

Hello minna-san!
Here i am with my review on Line offline: Salaryman.
It's a pity that nobody's written a review on it so far, so i'll do my best here.
I guess i should start with saying that the show is really specific. As you already know from the synopsis, it's about office workers and their routine life, and its targeted audience is the office workers as well. Basically, if you've ever experienced office life, you are likely to enjoy the show. Some of the episodes really resembled my office life and at some point i found myself laughing at the situations that were making me angry /
...
nervious / uneasy in real life. So actually the show helps to deal with stress and to take things easier.
If you have no idea of office life at all, try this show - it'll give you an unforgettable experience.
As for the story, there's not much of a plot. It's a sitcom, so every episode deals with a specific situation, like staying up late to redo a failed task, lunch break, making a presentation for your boss, your office looks etc. Some of the episodes are connected, but mostly not.
The main weak point of the show is its art and character design. Though it is a comedy and parody, and such kind of shows tend to have poor art, i still don't like it. The art it very-very simple, and James' and boss' design makes my eyes bleed. So i wish they put more effort in art and made it more detailed and pretty.
The characters are not really deep nor well-developed, but each one of them has his/her specific features and their personality is shown pretty well.
It's a pity that the show got 6-something ranking on MAL. There are not much shows for a specified audience, and that one is really well-made. You should give it a try.

Hello, minna-san!
Here i am with my review on Sukitte ii na yo specials.
First of all i must say that i really loved the original series, the characters, plot and all. I got emotionally attached to the characters, was feeling happy when they were happy and was pretty sad when they were sad.
The specials series consist of 10 episodes each 2 min long. During that time Mei reflects on something that's going on in the main series or tells a short side story about her childhood. And there's always her cat Marshmallow who listens to the stories and comments them.
If you expect this specials to be
...
humorous, you'll be disappointed. Almost none of the stories were funny, niether were Marshmallow's comments on them. Marshmallow sees Yamato as a rival so most of his comments are about how he dislikes him.
The art is very very simple as well. The only thing i loved about those specials is Marshmallow's seiyuu - Sakurai Takahiro (who was voicing Yamato as well).
Usually you expect specials to be a nice/funny/touching/whatever supplement to the main series. Even though they really tried to make the specials cute and funny, the series didn't turn out this way. I was pretty disappointed because the main series were really well made and sometimes were so hilarious i couldn't stop laughing, so i expected the specials to be on the same level. I even wondered if there are the same director and screenwriter as in the main series. It's just hard to understand why specials turned out to be so boring and tasteless.
It hurts me to say so, but if you liked the main thing, perhaps you shouldn't watch the specials. For me it was the waste of time.

Hello, minna-san!
Here i am with my review on Senyuu.
When i first read the synopsis i wasn't really sure if i wanted to watch it. My expectations were somewhat low, but that was only before i turned on the first episode.
If there is love from the first sight, than Senyuu is the case. I never imagined that action about heroes and saving the world could be THAT funny. You would usually expect some drama, some pathos, lots of fighting and pinches, really strong good and bad guys.. With Senyuu it was quite different.
Actually the first thing you should know about this anime is that you
...
are gonna laugh a lot. Each episode is aproximately 5 min long, and during this time you are really unlikely to stop laughing or, at least, smiling.
THE CHARACTERS
What i really love about this anime, apart from its humour, is the characters. Even though episodes are short and there's only 13 of them, you will get a pretty good idea about their personalities. Their design is pretty much interesting and fits in anime's style really well. I also loved the naming, f.e. the 12 demons are named after name of a month and its number in german, like Ein Januar, Zwei Februar, etc.
Voice actors did really good job as well.
THE STORY
The main point in this anime is its jokes, so it's more about dialogs and different comic situations, than about story. Though something was really going on in the series, the story hadn't proceeded much in the first season. But that's hardly a bad point, and the only thing a wished for was not more story, but more episodes.
THE ART
The art actually is pretty simble, but that's expected of the anime that's about comedy and parody. As for me it's not really inportant whether the art is simplistic or glamouros or whatever. What really matters is whether it fits the idea of the anime or not. Senyuu's art surely does fit, 'cause funny anime must have funny art.
THE SOUND
The sound was somewhat cheerful, though i didn't pay much attention to it. Guess that's a good thing, hm.
ENJOYMENT
As for me it was really enjoyable. If you're feeling down, you must watch it and you'll feel much better. If you're not feeling down, you still must watch it and again you will be in a better mood.
The second season of Senyuu is airing this july and i'm really really really looking forward to it.
