Review of I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying

How often do you see an anime that revolves around a married couple? (And no, don't get me started on that SAO teenage marriage nonsense.) "ICUWMHIS" is one of the funniest, most refreshing anime I've seen in a long time, even if the episodes are only around three minutes in length. The protagonists, Kaoru and Hajime, are worlds apart personality and lifestyle wise, but they find a way to make it work regardless. As the theme of the show is love and tolerance, each episode chronicles how they get through the hurdles of life together. There's a surprising amount of character development, despite of the showsshort length. This is attributed to the show's great writing and characterization.

The often hilarious writing is often intertwined with visual and even sound gags. Many of the visual gags pay homage to other anime and manga, which will make for a great Easter egg game for veteran anime fans. The sounds from this show have been put to great use as well. Whether it's parodying a musical score from popular culture, to the sounds of a jackhammer (!?!) during sexy time. It's a funny show regardless, but there may be some jokes that fly over your head if you're not a hardcore anime fan.

"ICUWMHIS" is a fantastic show and a definite forerunner for all the 3-minute anime shorts. It's easily recommendable to adults, especially those in a relationship, but I believe everyone should give this show a chance. It's just too good to pass on!
