Review of My Clueless First Friend

Usually when a show revolves around a single gag or concept , it can get repetitive, but this show does it's gag in so many ways and it's so good every time that I could go for at least a few more seasons of it. Taiyou is essentially a relentlessly optimistic and vibrant personality, to the point that he's a bit detached from reality. Any time someone tries to bully him he misinterprets it in a wholesome way which ends up making a somewhat shy, seemingly-gloomy girl come out of her shell just a bit. It's like reverse-cringe comedy where an awkward scenario becomes positiveand it's great every time.

Every single episode is a joy and all of Taiyou's weird misinterpretations are hilarious but also wholesome. While the show does revolve around the central trio and their cadre of bullies, there is a nice cast of side characters who all bring their own seasoning to the dynamics without becoming played out.

Visually the show is fine, the characters and animation do get a bit off-model at times but it accomplishes what it needs to and the designs are very cute. The animation doesn't do anything fancy like D.I.Y did and I wouldn't really say there are any sakuga moments, but it doesn't really need them. The writing and scenarios are what makes this strong and I certainly want more of these characteres.
