Ao-chan Can't Study!
淫らな青ちゃんは勉強ができない
"Show them your A-O face!" As an innocent child, Ao Horie would unhesitantly proclaim the origins of her name. Now that she is in high school, she is determined to study hard in order to one day escape the influence of her lascivious father, a famous erotic author. However, when the amiable Takumi Kijima confesses to Horie, her mind runs wild with scandalous thoughts. Moans eager to escape, legs crossing, and a warmth spreading through her body, Horie cannot help but misconstrue Kijima's rather pure motivations. To make things worse, no matter how hard she tries to ward off Kijima, his advances do not stop. Now, if only she could just study! [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Ao-chan Can't Study! is a romcom about a girl who just wants to study in peace without her erotica author father and classmates getting in the way. One of her classmates confesses his love to her and they spend 12 episodes getting into silly situations. The comedy revolves around Ao misunderstanding situations (due to being a virgin with excessive knowledge of erotica) and Kijima trying his best to figure out what she's thinking as they blunder their way through their first love. Some of the comedy tends to be predictable but otherwise I think it was done quite well. This series has short 10 minute episodes soit's easy to binge watch it in one sitting. I think the anime being relatively short compared to other romcoms is a good thing. If this had been full length, they wouldn't have had enough material to make it interesting. The art, voice acting and sound are fine. If you want a simple bite-sized romcom with some lewd jokes then you can't go wrong with Ao-chan Can't Study! I give it a solid 7.

Alright, I have to get this off my chest. I just finished binge-watching "Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai" and I'm honestly shocked that more people aren't obsessed with this. I saw the score on here and was a little hesitant, but I'm SO glad I gave it a shot because it's an absolute riot from start to finish. The story itself is just perfect for a comedy. You have Ao-chan, who is desperately trying to focus on her studies to get into a good university, but her brain has been completely warped by her erotica-novelist dad. When she develops a crush on the mostwholesome guy ever, Kijima, her mind goes into overdrive, turning every single normal interaction into something totally scandalous. It's so funny and just gets more hilarious as she digs herself into deeper and deeper holes of misunderstanding. What really makes this anime shine, though, is the production. The animation is super bright and expressive, which is exactly what a show like this needs. The visual gags and, most importantly, Ao-chan's PEAK facial expressions are brought to life perfectly. You can literally feel her soul leaving her body in every scene. And the voice acting? The VAs were amazing! Ao-chan's voice actress absolutely nailed the panicked internal monologues and sudden outbursts. You could hear the sheer desperation in her voice, and it made everything ten times funnier. If you've read the manga, you'll be happy to know that the anime is a really great adaptation. It follows the source material really well, so you get to see all your favorite chaotic moments fully animated and voiced, which is awesome. The show also wraps up with a great ending that feels super rewarding and sweet after all the craziness. It doesn’t just end abruptly; it gives you a really nice sense of closure. Honestly, this show does not deserve the low rating it has at all. It's a hilarious, well-made, and surprisingly wholesome rom-com. If you're looking for something that's easy to watch (the episodes are short!) and will genuinely make you laugh out loud, please give this a try. Don't let the score fool you! It's an easy 9/10 from me. It's a total hidden gem.

Imagine a teenage girl so traumatized by her perverted father that she develops a phobia of males. This girl is brave enough to transform that fear into a positive motivation - to attend an elite college and obtain an independent career where she can support herself in the absence of family. But Ao-chan is not allowed to have that level of agency. Her ambition is instead made secondary to a forced, awkward, unnatural relationship with a popular teenager of unreal pureness who is a continual source of anxiety. This is to the detriment of her studies that are sacrificed at the altar of fickle teenageromance. The more she participates in romance, the lower her ambition to establish independence becomes. It is problematic that this anime presents Ao as a character who must change herself to accept that men are a necessary component to happiness as a teenager. As if a boyfriend is something that she needs to obtain in order to be whole, when in reality nothing was really missing to begin with. She just wasn’t ready for a relationship at her age, and that’s fine. But according to this anime that is not fine. So we’re subjected to misunderstandings about phallic instruments, forced and awkward sexual tension, extreme anxiety and hyper-erroticism that is skewed towards the male gaze. Some of the greatest romantic narratives feature partners who are equally prepared for a relationship and have as much to lose or gain as the other party does. There is then a mutual level of understanding between them and they grow through their experiences with each other. But in this narrative Ao is very clearly the one changing the most as a result of her relationship, undeniably for the worse, while stale male kun is for the best. He gets to date the super sexy socially awkward virgin girl who only shows her fun side to him. She is sacrificing her academic career to the extent of failing every single subject while stale male kun is shown to have no such decline. Perhaps I would be willing to forgive this push for Ao to sacrifice her studies if the anime were entirely satirical of romantic pitfalls and never took itself seriously. I am not an unfun curmudgeon who doesn't appreciate humor - for some episodes that were entirely silly and focused on secondary characters (such as the sardonic best friend Miyabi) I was able to forget how offensive the premise was and chuckle at the absurd situations the characters found themselves in. But when the tenor switched to being dramatic, or the comedy was at the expense of a teenage girl who wants to be free of her family, is when I was reminded of the reality that Ao is actually being pushed by her degenerate father to hook up with an unknown boy before she’s emotionally or mentally prepared for it at the sacrifice of future outlook. More creepy than it is cute or funny.

What is love? I think it's a complicated thing, how can someone not be complacent because of that. Some people have experienced this and teenagers are in this complicated situation. Is the Japanese anime industry in a crisis? To be honest, I also don't know about this but there are several factors that can prove the truth of that opinion. If from my point of view most Japanese anime has a theme that is so simple. What I mean here is why don't they make a masterpiece with a story full of drama? Forget about that, now the anime worldmostly has a romance comedy theme because the two themes are popular with various groups. One of them is "Midara na Ao Chan Benkyou ga Dekinai" Having an honest comedy romance theme, this anime is perfect, but there are several factors that make this anime even more perfect. The jokes followed by the "ecchi" genre make this anime even better. The excitement and funnyness of this anime from each episode is very interesting why is that? There is no doubt that the three genres have proven how interesting this anime is especially among men. Focusing on a girl named Ao Horie who lives her daily life just by learning but one day her classmate named Takumi Kijima changed Horie's daily life, which at first only studied now became diverse. In each episode they do things like high school students in general but these things will definitely lead to a misunderstanding. Don't think that this anime is similar to the one outside because if you look at each episode that is displayed it is very interesting and makes you not feel bored. It doesn't matter how good the storyline is, but it is like a spoon and fork if the storyline is not balanced with good image quality, it will be one-sided (come on, this is an anime). Did the anime industry experience that path? I don't know why such questions are still imagined in my mind but as an audience I honestly do not care about the problem that I am concerned is whether they can still continue the work they are working on on their own? It's not just being abandoned. This time the presentation of the manga, I honestly do not know the ins and outs of this one anime, for some reason I did not find in some websites, but Silver Link made a bold decision because they have adapted a manga that is rarely highlighted to become famous. This studio has done a lot of various anime made famous by him and with the name of the studio maybe their sales also go up. The art here in my opinion is standard and as usual there is nothing special. When compared to art, maybe this is equally important as a car, if the animation interpreter is a machine then this is the wheel. The voice actors are very good because they try to make sounds that are different from the age they are playing and in my opinion it is an extraordinary thing. But what stands out most in this section is the opening theme of the anime itself, how does the opening theme become an example of an anime. Having an opening theme that is liked by various people is a difficult job but here they get it. It is proven that the songs sung by Edoga Sullivan managed to seize the attention of many anime lovers. Love? Actually it is a complicated expression of feeling even though the word consists of only two words but it takes a lot of effort to say it. Who should express these words? Is a man? Or girl? I don't think that is an important thing, as long as one of them succeeds in saying these two syllables, I am sure they must understand a word that covers everything. Expecting something after saying these words is of course a natural thing and in my opinion it is a reward for having made a hard effort. This story illustrates this where they expect each other but the hope contains only nonsense but they try to cover up the shortcomings. No wonder having shame and anxiety because their hopes are only nonsense but this is a characteristic of each character. Ao is a girl who is perfectly smart and also beautiful but she has shortcomings in love, while Kijima is also like that even though he is not how smart. I can feel everything from sadness to happiness here. Overall, this anime has met the criteria that are good even though I also do not know the meaning of the criteria that I meant earlier, but if you have watched until it's finished you will understand the meaning of the word criteria.

I'm gonna write a review as human as possible. I won't make any arguments. Story 9/10: The story is quite attractive. I promise you all ecchi fan. This is going to be fun. But, sorry there is no extreme fanservice there. It's all about one natural born hentai dere girl who meets the kindest boy ever. I can't say he is a man because he is too stupid to become a man. You'll know what I mean. Art 7/10: Seven is my average score. Nothing problem. Sound 9/10: OP and ED was catchy as hell. My most favorited song this season. Character 8/10: In the most of ecchi animeyou may got this kind of cliche; "lucky bastard boy MC", "fake-innocent boy MC", or "real pervert boy MC" who will always get paired with one or more beautiful innocent/deredere/mature/thot girl. What people usually say to them is; "the MC is trash", "this show is garbage", etc. Here we have the kindest boy in ecchi anime ever with adorable and cute Hentai dere girl. I bet you won't be able to hate the boy MC (except for being too pure lol). Unconsciously, you'll ship them. Enjoyment 9/10: This anime is very enjoyable. Thanks to 12 min duration. If this anime have longer duratuion, i highly doubt it would be enjoyable. I'd love to give 10 for the score but i'm afraid it could be overrated so 9 is fair for me. I recommend this anime, especially for Ecchi Comedy fan.
