Asobi Asobase

A story about three cute and innocent middle school students whose personalities complement each other. Spanning 12 episodes, these girls form a bond and enjoy time with each other in a way that is quite different from what the usual perception is of what girls may have for hobbies or do during their pastime's. You have your karaokes, shopping sprees, café hangouts, etc., but these three have other things in mind and in the process, bond over and have a blast that's uniquely of the Pastimers Club.

What I find very likeable about this anime is that it breaks down stereotypes in a very fun fashion. It is wild and zany, but also genius in a way. Each episode is made up of short stories or narratives that continue on to the next. The story however sort of cuts short after the twelfth episode (when you don't count the OVA), but other than that, Asobi Asobase is a fun watch. The opening and ending tracks are a must watch/listen too as well (at least for the first episode) as it really sets the tone for the rest of the show.

I laughed a lot with my friend while watching this anime I wish more anime would be made with this style.

Pure comedy. No need to add anything else. This anime is guaranteed to make you laugh.

Give it a try if u like anime like grand blue, prison school or konosuba. The comedy is well written and doesn't feel cringe or forced . It's available on YouTube too.

This school girl anime is centred on Hanako, Olivia and Kasumi; three friends who are second years at an all-girls middle school. They are the members of the unofficial Pastimers Club; the pastimes in question being talking or doing what they feel like at the time. We don't just see them hanging out together; they interact with other students and a teacher they try to make their official adviser.

This looks like many other anime series but once one starts watching it feels different... and certainly delivers the laughs. The character designs are distinctive, some might say ugly, but that fits with the humour of the series. The characters are a lot of fun in their own ways; Olivia pretends that her Japanese is poor but in fact she is fluent... her English on the other hand is below average; Hanako introduces the others to some odd games and Kasumi isn't keen on games and enjoys writing yaoi stories. Overall I'd certainly recommend this hilarious series.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
