Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

Uzaki-chan is a very calm anime...sometimes? It kind of has a plot, because many things that happen in one episode, are based in the ones that happened in the last one. And, thanks to this and to the fact that the relationship between Uzaki and Senpai grows in a very funny way, it feels very good to see the development between these two characters.

As we keep watching this 12 episodes anime, we kind of get used to some of the most often jokes that happen, and also to enjoy many of the references that are present in the series (OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU xD). And, even after the funny moments, we also get some very cute and sweet moments related to the romance between our two main characters, that make the relationship between both, in some way, realistic.

Give this anime a chance, after all the controversia that generated in Twitter, I really feel like it is something more than a trending topic material

It follows the eponymous Hana Uzaki who is at first delighted to be at the same college as her classmate from high school Shinichi Sakurai. But when she sees that he has a rather mundane lifestyle, she decides to take it upon herself to hang out with him.

I get that there was some slight controversy of the series because of some moral guardians being critical of Uzaki's design. If not for her...assets, she would easily be confused for maybe a high school or elementary school kid. Her being short not helping matters. But...the show establishes that she is a young adult as in reaching her 20s at best.

Pushing the controversy aside, thus far the characters are very enjoyable. There's Uzaki herself for starters. She is energetic and preppy as well as a Grade A troll who loves to mess around with Shinichi. She has the potential to be annoying, but she squarely falls under the "not too obnoxious" side for me partially because it is a more funny kind of annoying wherein the character or characters are the ones being irritated by her antics.

But she also has her good side. There are moments where she does unwittingly drive Shinichi off the deep end and she apologizes. Ultimately she does have a good heart where she wants to ensure that Shinichi does live fully. Shinichi is a good foil. He tends to want to be by himself and enjoy that time and when Uzaki intervenes, you can understand his frustration with her. But he does find himself slowly enjoying being around Uzaki. Despite this, he does have a softer side such as loving cats and dogs. It's unfortunate that because of the perpetual scowl on his face, he comes off as imposing.

Supporting characters include Ami, her father, and Shinichi's only friend. Ami works for her father at his cafe where Shinichi works largely because of how attractive he is. Which comes across as interesting in terms of Ami: she lusts after Shinichi because of his physique, but much like her father, she is a passive watcher of Uzaki and Shinichi taking an interest in seeing their relationship bloom.

Sakaki is Shinichi's friend who is a ladies' man who also takes an interest in the relationship because he wants Shinich to get a girlfriend which puts him in conflict with Ami due to him wanting to take an active approach in getting them together. He's kind of sleazy to me, but that's from a minor glance. He may get better over the course of the series.

The animation and voice work is also good as well as the sound effects. Overall, a good watch.

Lots of people say that Uzaki is too annoying. I'll start off by saying yes she is annoying, but that's kind of the whole point. She's clearly interested in the protagonist and bothering him is her way of showing affection. Just like how any mother could tell you that the girl that's bothering you at school has a crush on you. thats exactly what this is. If watching that seems appealing to you then you'll love this show, but if not it might not be for you.

I'm the type of guy who normally watches isekai's, action/adventure, fighting/tournament and comedy stuff. But rom/coms? Hell no! Not gonna lie, I hate rom/coms of any type. But when I spotted Uzaki-Chan wants to hang out, I was initially only enticed by the cute titular character. But I thought "well, I'm normally not into rom/coms but let's give it a shot, see if it's funny". And boy was I caught off guard by HOW DAMN FUNNY this show is! I love Uzaki the most because of how much and how well she pisses off Shinichi. This normally wouldn't be my cup of tea but... I never thought I'd like a rom/com yet here I am! The relationships between all characters is just flat out hilarious. Between Uzaki and Shinichi, it is just a flood of pure gold. The other interactions between side characters like Sakaki and Ami really spice up the hilarity when throwing them into the mix of their current "situation" with getting the 2 main characters together. Season 1 was the most hilarious one between both seasons. Whereas season 2 is focusing more on the family meeting and getting to know Shinichi while showing a more serious tone gradually building. Thus leaving behind the barrage of constantly funny episodes. This is a truly enjoyable show if you have a sense of humor and aren't a feminist Karen looking for something to complain about it. Take my word for it, it's worth the watch and laughs!

This anime is one of the funniest anime of 2020. Uzaki-chan aka Hana Uzaki is 16 year old girl with immature mind who always wants to hangout with his senior. As the story advances we will see the funniest accident a teenager couple can go through. Though they not realized yet, but they both have feelings for each other.
