Hentatsu (TV)

So I just wasted around 12 minutes of my life watching this, so I thought I should write a review in hopes I would save some poor souls from this whatever this is. Story 0/10 There is no story. It's just completely random conversations between the only 2 characters in this show. If you lose a bet and are forced to watch this, I suggest getting drunk cus then there is a possibility you would at least smirk at some scene. Cus I sure did not. Art 2/10 I dislike cgi animation in general, so it is my opinion, tho if I liked it I guess it would beaverage at best. Not pretty at all. Sound 2/10 The sound was irritating me a lot. I guess it was there to make the scenes funny? To make a better atmosphere? I do not know. The VAs... the VAs... oh man. By episode 3 I already wanted to kill myself cus of that forced laughter that is present EVERY SINGLE EPISODE WHEN LITERALLY NOTHING IS FUNNY. Character 0/10 One would think that if we already have a short animation of 12 eps each 1min, it would not make sense to tell a story, so we would focus the characters, after all they are the only point of this animation, right? Well no. Of course not. All we know about the characters is that one is a cat girl with cat ears and one is a demon girl with horns and even that is not explained. Enjoyment 0/10 The last second of the last episode was such an enjoyment, cus I knew I had no more left and I could now forget I ever wasted 12 precious minutes watching this. Overall 0/10 I personally watched this for the challenge, but I tell you, spare yourselves and go and waste 12 minutes on anything else.

A series of cute shorts which amounts to metacommentary by Yaoyorozu interspersed with slice of life dialogues. If you're familiar with Yaoyorozu and Tatsuki then it's certainly worth a watch and you'll likely get a laugh or two out of it. If you aren't familiar then it won't make much sense but it can still be enjoyed for the beautiful environments and dumb jokes exchanged by the two protagonists. The title, "Hentatsu", can be interpreted as a dumb joke about being a strange way to spend your time, which it certainly is. Despite being 12 separate minute-long shorts, it has quite a few gags that landsquarely.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, SERIOUSLY. Story: The story is nonexistent; the show's whole premise is two characters talking to each other—that's it. I know what you're thinking: well, that can work. There are plenty of slice-of-life animes that work with that premise (Lucky Star, for example). The difference is those conversations make sense and play on humor. This show fails both those requirements. It's like being forced to listen to someone talk about something you have no interest in. Sound: I grew up watching a lot of sitcoms, so laugh tracks never bothered me, but I think I experienced the hatred for them whilst watching this sincethis show is basically just a laugh track for unfunny jokes, if you want to call them that. The voice acting in general is just bad—no other words for it. Art; Sadly, I cannot say it's the worst. There is at least some effort put into it—not good effort; it still looks bad, but I've seen far worse. 1/10 If I could give this a zero, I would. There is literally no reason to watch this, and I don't say that lightly as someone who enjoys watching bad anime. Most boring show I've ever watched.
