Review of Arakawa Under the Bridge
it's been a while since I truly laugh from a gag-anime. it's a real classic boke-tsukomi stuff but i think it's a bit underrated. long story short: it about a bunch of weirdos living under the bridge at the pov of the MC, the cast is just a bunch of people with mental issues, but in pov of viewers, there's a chance that the fantasy aspect might be real. I think this is one of the charm of arakawa under the bridge, it never told what is real. and another big charm from this series is there's always a little depth and meaning from their comedy, a little life lessonand message are slipped inside the scene. lots of gag-anime are creating dumb scene just for the sake of being funny.
the animation and sound is fine enough, it's not the mighty quality since it's just a mere slice-of-life comedy, however the seiyuu's line up, as you can see they're all the veteran gangs, really deliver the character and the scene perfectly.
as for the character, they're just variant of weirdness, not that quirky, mostly specialized in this specific type, but that combination of weirdness is the spice and sauce that works perfectly in this series.
and overall it's been a while since i truly enjoy such heartwarming-gag. this weirdness deserve more love
