Review of AHO-GIRL

It’s a gag anime, which revolves around a stupid girl- Yoshiko Hanabatake, who even though is in high school acts like a ten year old monkey- both in not having common sense, being dump and craving bananas, in the metaphorical and physical way. Which is to say her mom wants to marry her to the protagonist, Akutsu Akuru, your average main character: smart, black haired, and for some resaon still friends with the dumb neighbour. In each episode we have some kind of series of events, ending in more or less funny ways. As for the characters, one-dimensional would be the best description. Even though thereare a few that appear throughout the show, other that the protagonists, and Akutsu’s sister, which is basically Yoshiko’s personality copied in a smaller body, only one comes to mind, Sumino Sayaka, remarkable because she is normal. Not normal in the “better than these people that annoy me, butt I still hang out with them”, but actually, the one resembling most a human being, which is a shame, because she doesn’t really have any sort of personality, but feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the cast. Something that really bothered me was the lack of character growth: nothing really changes, and the episodic nature of the show makes you feel really stuck, waiting for something to change.

A thing that makes it enjoyable is however it’s length: it is short. Which says a lot, but, at twelve episodes of twelve minutes, I would say a lot of people will finish it for the sake of spending 44 minutes not being bored, or at least consider having it finished.

Other than the few giggles form the first episodes, the voice acting and character design are average, and the animation normal for a comedy, which makes it to a 5/10.
