Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!

I'm a female who is usually put off by any ecchi themes in a series but despite its appearance uzaki chan isn't all about sexual stuff and is a fantastic series. loved watching this, i love the relationship uzaki and sakurai have. can't wait for next season, definitely my favourite anime

When Hana Uzaki discovers that she will be going to the same college as Shinichi Sakurai, a boy who was a year above her at high school, she is delighted. However she soon discovers that he is introverted and doesn't appear to be getting involved with much; his somewhat intimidating appearance doesn't help. After a year she determines to get him out of his shell and doing more... whether he wants to or not.

I thought this series was a lot of fun. Hana and Shinichi's contrasting characters were a good combination. Sometimes she may be a little overbearing but not excessively so and this drives much of the comedy. The story is simple enough; it is very much character driven with most things happening to provide a laugh. In this it succeeds. The character designs are good although some may be put off by Uzaki's appearance; she looks quite a bit younger than one would expect for a college girl despite having an ample chest! One would expect this to suggest a fan service heavy series but, while there is some, is isn't excessive. As well as good protagonists there are plenty of fun secondary characters, especially the protagonists' families. Overall I'd recommend this to anime fans, especially those who enjoyed the likes of 'Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro'.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

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.

Very good anime, great anime in terms of comedy in which I recommend watching it

I only watched this anime to see what all the twitter crybabies were complaining about and what the big deal was. Little did I know I would find one of my new favorite animes. Uzaki is loud and obnoxious in the best way. I'm completely invested in the relationship between her and Sakurai. Even the side characters are entertaining and charming in their own ways. Can't wait for season 2.

So again, thank you cancel culture. Without you crying like toddlers who just crapped themselves I wouldn't have discovered this gem.
