Anime 15005 Kyou No Asuka Show

When you feel a need to waste 3 minutes on a dirty joke, this isn't the worst way.

The episodes are far too short for any proper story yet the main character still manages to find the time to be inconsistent, breaking her oblivious idiot role by having the occasional really reasonable and well informed thought. Up to you to decide if that's good or bad but it does help prevent things getting stale.

As ridiculously silly as this show is, it had the most reasonable "girl running with bread in her mouth" event I've ever seen, if nothing else you could put this on your bucket ... list just to witness that. Sort of expected the highlights of the season to be more about dirty stuff but a lot of episodes are really tame and manage to work up some other good laugh.

Hopefully this brief review told you what you needed to know, you've now been briefed by BriefEd... okay that's pretty forced, Asuka is funnier.

You might as well call this Male Gaze: the Anime. Middle school girl goes around doing various things, while men perv on her, even when it's something as innoceous as eating spicy ramen. I'm not sure whether this was just intended to provide a little spot of three minute fanservice or the creators intended this as a bit of mild satire of how desparate some men can be in their fantasies when confronted with a cute girl. in either case, the show's sympathies clearly lie with Asuka rather than her ...admirers. Otherwise there's nothing much to it, but a fun way to waste an hour ... or so watching the series.

My biggest problem with the show is the concept of it. I am totally aware that if I go into an ecchi show with 20 episodes each 3 minutes long I don’t have to expect a great plot or characters with depth but c’mon this show was just nonsense. Even for a show that has the goal to go from one ecchi scene right into the next it was just too stupid. I know I am not the audience for that show but at least I wish for a more elegant ride that drives us into the next pantie-reveal. At the end I can say ... that this show was not for me but I am sure there are people out there who will enjoy it.
