Review of AHO-GIRL

Aho Girl is just funny. There's no denying that this anime would benefit if it would lose some of its perverseness, and yet its perversion is part of what makes the comedy work. It details the "love" story between Yoshiko Hanabatake (the eponymous "Aho Girl") and her "lover"/"best friend" Akuru Akutsu (who clearly wants nothing to do with her). The sheer simplicity behind Yoshiko's idiocy is matched only by her obsession towards bananas, the only topic perhaps where she seems to devote her entire intelligence towards, while somehow she demonstrates an attraction to her childhood friend Akuru despite having no real indication towards a reason.Indeed, even Akuru admits it is strange how the two of them constantly end up together, and perhaps this match not made in heaven is perfect due to the sheer unlikeliness of their personalities paired with the utter, blantant idiocy that Yoshiko fills her life with. And this doesn't begin to include straight-man Sayaka Sumino and stoic Fuki Iincho (who, despite seemingly appearing to be Akuru's female clone in personality, has her own comedic niche), and the riotous ever-changing anime intros (which, for a reviewer who tends to dislike and skip anime intros, is a pleasant surprise). If there is anything that could possibly accentuate this anime further, is to give Yoshiko more character development and growth besides just being a "common idiot", as her lack of progress can be frustrating for a reviewer who desires more plot to his stories. 9/10
