Review of Horimiya

Horimiya causes the sort of boredom that causes people to believe in hell in order to have something to look forward to. Describing what happens in Horimiya is like one of those zen koans: watching the show and not watching it is basically the same thing. Characters are bland, flavourless, flat, and uninteresting. The story’s the usual misunderstandings, fights over the girl, the boys kiss and make up and make up aimless conversations that go nowhere, with a lot of bad comedy that isn’t unfunny but isn’t funny either. There’s nothing terrible but it has no point. It just exists.
