I’ve been watching anime for more than a decade and I’ve watched so many series with so much similarities. Honestly, it can really be boring and I ended up being fed up. And so, it is always refreshing to see something so original. There’s a long review coming…………. About the STORY This series is ...

[English and Spanish review] [English] Why should you watch Arakawa? Because one thing that I love about anime is that it always surprise me with creative and original stories: this is one of that. The clash of two worlds: the main character, a CEO with daddy issues that is only worried about wor...

So I actually saw this show quite a while ago, but avoided it because of the "low" rating of 7.7. Normally this wouldn't matter very much, but judging from the type of show this was, it seemed like a mediocre comedy with a generic life lesson. And you know what, I can totally see how that's true ...

Anime: Arakawa Under the Bridge (Season 1 & 2) Genre: Comedy, Romance Age Rating: Good for All Studio: Shaft Music: Hoshi Author: Hikaru Nakamura Dub/Sub: Subtitles Ecchi Level: Conservative OoOoOThe story starts off with Kou Ichinomiya, a traumatized young man who has had it beaten into his head...

The setting is fantastic and the creative premise provides a refreshing departure from typical anime, bolstered by highly likeable protagonists and their engaging interactions. However, the humor is inconsistent and the narrative lacks depth, often relying on random character-based gags that do n...

“Regardless of that, he’s living life as he wants because that’s the way of living he treasures!” - P-Ko, Episode 7 Arakawa Under the Bridge is a fun series that demonstrates how well absurdist comedy can challenge societal norms. The premise of throwing a (seemingly) normal man into the bizarre ...

I started watching Arakawa Under the Bridge thinking that it is an anime with shallow characters and without an exciting story. It is true that this anime does not bring you an exciting story. In fact, there is hardly any story except for the man-woman relationships. Yet, it is still as much good...

When I first started watching this anime, I was extremely skeptical due to the first few episodes unable to grasp my attention. However, later on, the characters and their actions soon not only entertained but also touched me ever so slightly. Throughout the series, there are subtle metaphors tha...

Part 1 English Part 2 Bahasa Indonesia -------------------------------------- Well, well, well, what do we have here? It's Arakawa Under the Bridge, an anime that's so weird, it makes my collection of Hawaiian shirts look normal. The premise is simple - a rich guy named Ko Ichinomiya falls into a...

While this show is random and crazy it is also really funny. Every character is memorable and surprisingly complex while still adding an element of charm that makes this show stand out as one of the best comedy animes out there. The show is elevated even more by the romance between the two leads....

This anime is a masterpiece featuring a unique, absurdist humor that perfectly complements its beautiful, cohesive art style and a deeply engaging, colorful cast of characters. While the story progresses at a deliberate, slow pace, this is an intentional choice that allows for a meaningful explor...

My god do I not love this show. I originally watched both season 1 and season 2 when they were airing and to be honest I was having fun, but I was also f*cking confused about what was going in the show. Arakawa is funny, the characters and plots are great, the opening is addictive, but I thought ...

I'll get straight to the point, Arakawa is easily my favourite comedy anime, the wacky characters, the abstract and at times confusing storyline, it has appeal to anyone who just wants to laugh for a while. Despite this comedic value, however, you sense that there is a deeper meaning to the story...

Arakawa Under The Bridge Looks like romance but actually, the main plot doesn't revolve around it. So, for you who wants some serious romance, this is not a fitting choice. This is a comedy show like Gintama. It has some philosophical moment and the blend of serious and comedy moments are perfect...

Let me start out by saying that this is quickly becoming one of my favorite animes. As for the storyline, its very much a slice-of-life without being boring, a romance without being sappy, and a comedy without being obnoxious or mindless. The art is out of the ordinary as far a style, but by no m...

Arakawa Under the Bridge is strange. It is many things, but strangeness is definitely one of its more prominent characteristics. Despite being quirky, it's not at all absurd. It's unique, the story is creative, the characters are lovable, and you'll definitely want more. I love this anime because...

Can you have a story without a plot? There have been countless shows that lack a storyline, but they are mostly gag comedies. I wouldn't say Arakawa Under the Bridge is necessarily one of those. Most of the time you get straight faced people creating the comedy effect, but the characters in Araka...

This show is an underrated, entertaining gem that delivers nonsensical, silly humor reminiscent of titles like Sakamoto or Saiki. While the plot is simple and occasionally induces a bit of cringe, it remains consistently funny and worth your time. I highly recommend giving it a watch. The most me...

This show is stupidly charming, featuring a surprisingly solid plot with meaningful lessons, non-stereotypical characters, and a perfect, simple art style that elevates the comedy. While the character development is fairly simple and lacks deep emotional complexity for the supporting cast, the ex...

*This Review applies for both Season 1 and Season 2* Very rarely I will find a series with such an absurd premise that is so very very funny. Arakawa Under the Bridge I will dare say tops on my list of funniest animes. I have seen this series about 3 times (Both Season 1 and 2) Summary: Born into...
