Here is my first review:

Spoilers ahead

Handa-kun is a prequel to the Slice of Life series Barakamon. However there except a few characters there were hardly any similarities between the two. To watch this series you don't need knowledge of Barakamon characters a priori.

Story: 4/10: The story revolves around the main character Handa-Sei in his high school life. There is utter misunderstanding between Handa and other characters. Handa constantly believes that people around him hates him which is not at all in reality. There is no such plot here. In each and every episode a new character is introduced and for some stupid misunderstanding he/she starts ... to worship Handa. The logic may seems funny for one or two episode. However the same annoying thing to happen for 12 episodes gives you an headache.

Art: 7/10: The art is okay. Nothing spectacular in particular.

Sound: 7/10: Opening song "The LiBERTY" by Fo'xTails is pretty rough in my opinion. However, the ending theme by "HIDE-AND-SEEK" by Kenichi Suzumura is nice to hear. The OSTs were nothing worth of remembering.

Character: 6/10: Only 3-4 characters were present probably most of the time. Otherwise remaining characters were episodic. There were hardly any character development in the series.

Enjoyment: 7/10: Handa-kun offers comedy and nothing else. I personally enjoyed those comedies initially. But later on it became quite repetitive and silly.

Overall: 6/10: Handa-kun is a watchable series overall. However people searching for Barakamon elements here should refrain from watching this shit.
