(???) Aho-Girl

NOTE: Series is still ongoing, at the time of this review I was at episode 7

Series in one sentence:
 

This was a thing.

Series in more sentences:

A girl with a frighteningly low IQ and an obsessive love for bananas tries every day to swoon her childhood "friend", but fails because of the aforementioned facts.
With her mother also trying to sell her to him, and the ever-growing group of odd friends surrounding her, the boy is starving for intellectual company, but so far has only found it with a dog.

 


Well. We can at least say this anime succeeded in performing a comedic portrayal of male-on-female violence.
We see it the other way around often enough, because boys apparently have no nervous system and are fine to beat up, but this show taught me that it's not impossible to make a boy uppercutting a young pigtailed girl funny.

The series has an interesting formula, as it's just a bunch of random stories jammed together. Every story is just a few seconds long, so I'd say there's no time to get bored, but enough time for the jokes to land. So far there are jokes; most of it is unfiltered nonsense. I quite like it.
