Snack Basue · review
Snack Basue is an anime about Snack Bar that you can find in Hokkaido. So what is snack bar? They are a part of Japan’s nightlife especially for the people who works ,there are similar to the bars but a lot of more cozy and has friendly atmosphere. In this bar the bartenders called ‘mama’ and they became someone who listen and talk with you. You can socialize with other guest and have a good evening. Snack Basue has two hostess, oldest hostess Basue (the bar belongs to her) and younger hostess Akemi. We see a daily life conversation between Akemi her mother and guests whocame to Snack Bar. All the guest we gonna see here gonna be man which I think pretty close to reality. Conversations that we here a generally about the characters personality, situation that happens to them and different views on a random themes . Sometime we see talks about sexual concepts which I think done very nicely. Other than this there are episodes that has more of reference to anime and other pop culture situations where we can see different characters from different anime or real life.
One of the best part that this show done correctly is the characters they all feel real. Which is very important for an anime that is about people. As characters we have 4 main guest that we see the most they are Yamada , Tatsu, Kazama and Morita all four man has different personalities and lifestyles and I think even if you don’t love their personalities you not gonna hate them you’re not gonna feel like you don’t wanna them on the screen. Akemi is our main host and kind of main character of the anime a young woman who has her own relationship problem but can find a way to talk with any kind of human. Very enjoyable main character. The supporting cast that we see through the anime has great moments too.
This anime don’t have a plot it’s an episodic anime in one episode we mostly see 2 different situation that happened in Bar in different times.Other than that The humor done nicely. The jokes are different from each other and references helps them to be better if you love more of talking humor you gonna enjoy it but if you are more of action oriented humor you maybe wanna skip it.
A thing I notice in myself while watching this anime is that I myself start to think about the answer of conversation or what I think about this topic which for me was a great.
About animation I wanna say it works for it anime it’s very different and not for everyone but it definitely works. The musics are great every episode ends with and karaoke and the Op is done greatly.
In the end if you wanna watch an romcom type of comedy on a theme that never done before in anime should definitely watch it. Its different, it’s new and done correctly. The only people I’m not gonna recommend it who like action comedy I don’t think it’s gonna be your cup of tea but I still think you should try
