Ooya-san wa Shishunki!

Snowed 2 feet compacted into 1, muscles are aching from shoveling and about 1.5 shots into a glass of Ketel One. Bear with me on this review. Story: LOL I've had this tab open for the longest time and I didn't even realize I haven't typed a THING! JEez, not good. Maybe if I drink a little more I'll stay focused. Give me a second........... Alright, I actually sorta kinda likes this anime. There was something about the premise that made it fun but there were cracks in the facade of 'quality' that showed themselves real early. This came in with jokes of hebephilia where the adult malecharacter finds himself making jokes about his attraction to a teenager. I don't care if this is the culture of jokes that Anime sometimes embraces. Just because it's a 'culture' doesn't mean I can't pop a few drinks back and say, "This culture sucks!" You know why? Because it does! These sort of jokes aren't funny because the sort of outcome that is implied would never happen, and there are no happy endings for such relationships. It's stupid, and I'm gonna stop myself before I start a drunken rant on how stupid it is and start focusing more on the story. One long complaint up there and I still gave a 6/10. The reason being, jokes were well-placed, even if they were bad. I really think ecchi and stuff like that is boring, uninteresting, and inappropriate. But, because of some of the pacing and jokes, things at times were quite funny. However, the most comical content had nothing to do with breasts or nudity. But, the worst part is that don't remember a single joke made. In fact, the most memorable scenes were the ones I tested, like characters making jokes about their breast size or a bunch of old men in a hot tub. Makes me wonder what my buzzed mind is telling me... Art: I felt the animation was alright at times but I despise, not only ecchi, but the modern embrace of more artwork. It's really offputting to me and perhaps I'm getting to opinionated and not as objective as I like to be but it doesn't make this show any better, that's for sure. In fact, I think it really brings down a lot of it. Actually, I think it brings it down a lot but that's just because the show itself was pretty mediocre and pairing that with the irritating and uninspired animation made things all the more worse. Damn, like seriously, I hate moe artwork. It's one reason why I avoid a lot of modern shows. Granted, I don't think early 2000's animation would have improved this steaming heap. Sound: Forgettable music and forgettable VA work. Not bad, not good. 5/10 Character: The male lead is a hebephiliac and the so is the adult female lead. Not to mention the youngest character is so stupid I wanted to stop watching almost immediately. I just finished it out for the extra 'Completed' tag on my watch-list. Enjoyment: And it wasn't worth it. I almost would have preferred having this NOT be on my list. I can't say it was boring because it was somewhat enjoyable, but I can't say it's good because Ecchi and Moe stuff are 2 of the dumbest things on the planet. So, here I am giving it a 4/10. Oh well. At least my Vodka bottle is near empty. Gives me an excuse to finish it. ((If you liked this review, feel free to check out my others! I review most manga and anime I finish!))

NOTE: There might be spoilers! Story 6/10: This anime contains the daily moments of the main character being a landlord of her apartment and a student. Characters 7/10: Chie is a young student and landlord of a building. She is very mature for her age, but she is also very cute. Maeda is one of the tenants who is hard-working, but constantly having dreams of girls. Reiko is also one of the tenants and loves to hang out with Chie. Overall enjoyment 5/10: Easy to watch. The length of the anime is very short. When it comes to slice of life animes, I would always assume thatit would be approximately 20-30 minutes long. I also assume that there might be a romance between the two tenants.

Well first thing to note is how quick this anime can be completed, at 2 minutes per episode (with 20 seconds on the OP), this anime's total runtime goes at less than 15 minutes to finish, thus LA can easily say why the characters speak so quickly, they needed to cram in the setup of the joke, some banter and finally the punchline all in 90 seconds, so it's to be expected. The comedy comes at you quick and fast and considering the "weird" premise kinda makes it even funnier, even though the comedy can lead to some self-aware fanservice moments and character jabs, take thislike you will. The animation by Seven Arcs is decent enough with zigzagging background but having some attention to detail on the characters designs, not much to say about it other than that. This anime is by all means in-offensive and as LA said you can easily finish it under 15 minutes and be done and over with. Nonetheless, Ooyasan wa Shishunki! is a decently quick and funny anime short of Winter 2016.
