Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double

Double D’z Nuts. It’s that time again. Our favourite cute gremlin with big anime titties is back to annoy her incredibly hot yet paradoxically socially awkward, unaware, honest to a fault, massive penis confirmed, gamer senpai, and just like the first season I wouldn’t be watching this (I’ve read the manga) if it wasn’t for the incredible cast of voice actors which carry this anime from being just another slow burn romance to a bonafide rom-com. That’s not to say that I think the writing is bad, on the contrary I think it’s pretty good. It’s rare to see one of these kind of shows withoutthere being some sort of ridiculous love triangle or a straight up harem around the mc. Uzaki-chan holds a unique kind of restraint over itself and focuses squarely on Uzaki’s and Sakurai’s relationship which I really appreciate. The friends around them like best boy Sakaki and giant pervert Asai are there (mainly their own entertainment) to help Uzaki and Sakurai overcome their shared uselessness and obliviousness towards each other so they can finally get together instead of being their to cause tension. This season focuses more on the Uzaki and Sakurai families so we get to understand why the two of them are the way they are. We already know about Uzaki’s extremely hot mom who believes Sakurai wants to have an affair with her (and doesn’t seem opposed to the idea) thanks to all the soap-operas she watches, but this season we learn that her little brother Kiri is close to becoming the protagonist of Rent-A-Girlfriend, her little sister Yanagi is the actual devil, and her dad is a highly eccentric, overly protective helicopter parent. Meanwhile, Sakurai’s family is… well I won’t spoil it if you haven’t watched that far yet. The art and animation is pretty mediocre. This is an ENGI production after all, and judging by the list of anime they’ve created (and that I’ve watched) they’ve never really push the boat out when it comes to animation standards. That doesn’t necessary mean they have too. Despite the characters looking a bit bland and the line art not being great, some of the backgrounds look nice and there’s enough expression and characterisation to really make me appreciate how good of a job the voice actors are doing. Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! Double is more of season one and if you’re into that then you’re going to enjoy this. It’s funny, silly and sometimes, even doki-doki. Even that one filler episode which is literally there to advertise a Japanese resort park gets an okay in my book because it gave us Uzaki’s mom in a bikini, and that my friends, is the meaning of Christmas. 7/10 Good.

Yeah i give this like a 6.5, i think the first season was a little better as this kinda drags a little but it stays funny enough to be worth watching. The extra characters introduced are good this season but still think it loses a little charm vs the first season. It does end fairly predictably, so people who are very into this kind of romantic comedy might enjoy it more than me though the story is by no means unique. If you don't like a Will They / Won't They story i don't think there's anything particularly special about this to really drag youin though.

Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! is a decent romantic comedy that follows the often raunchy shenanigans of Shinichi Sakurai, a college student, and his high school friend, the lively and energetic Uzaki Hana. Uzaki is a girl who infamously looks like a 12-year-old boy with honking back-breaking baby-busting tata bongos. She would classify as a manic-pixie-dream-girl if that term weren’t overused and grossly misogynistic. Uzaki and Sakari attend college together and spend their days hanging out together, to the latter’s dismay. They get into mischievous (sexual) hijinks and slowly develop romantic feelings for one another. In season two, Shinichi and Uzaki are still in college, and their relationshipis blossoming. They continue annoying/entertaining one another and learning more about each other while balancing their studies and social lives. Their romantic chemistry is there; Uzaki likes making fun of him while also being attracted to him. Given that he’s ripped, has a job, and is educated, I understand. Shinichi gives her sass right back too. He’s not a cuckold, unlike those other infamous teasing-centric anime. The raunchy humor is caused by Shinichi and Uzaki’s follies more often than stupid contrivances, except the spa episode, and I appreciate that because it’s much more cringe-worthy and less head-shaking. Conjuring cringe-humor from the characters’ personalities develops them while remaining tonally consistent. That way, the gags don’t appear unfunny or lazily written. The jokes are as prevalent as ever in this season, though there are sincere attempts at romantic progression. Seeing the two flustered over one another is funny (sometimes unintentionally), while every side character roots for them to get together in the background. The show introduces a few new characters, including Uzaki’s father and her little sister, who looks even more gremlin-like than her. Their introductions are so out of the blue it could be called a retcon. Shinichi’s coworker and friend, Ami and Sakaki, are also back to provide comedic relief and support, but they take a backseat to the new side characters. Uzaki’s mom plays a more prominent role this season as she trains Shinichi to cook and continues to assume he’s attracted to her—the joke is pretty stale by now. Your mileage may vary on how much you enjoy the innuendo-riddled dialogue, and it’s varied enough that I appreciated it in small doses. Some people find Uzaki-chan’s over-the-top fanservice and cliche slice-of-life plot entertaining and relaxing. It’d be hypocritical of me to shit on all the fanservice since I appreciate the male fanservice. At the same time, others (me specifically) are tired of the predictable plotlines, repetitive humor, and lack of originality. Uzaki-chan is like the lesser-known anime cousin of Family Guy—you’ll see a few funny clips on social media or in compilations, but the actual show itself is primarily predictable, unoriginal, and boring. It’s possibly due to the massive hate the first season earned that Uzaki-chan has gained a niche following and continues to achieve success. When the first season aired in 2020, I vehemently despised it. I wrote a rant so unhinged that it (rightfully) got deleted. After rewatching the first season and watching the second, I’d say it’s actually quite decent. The main draw of the animation is plenty of absurd facial expressions, jiggly jugs, and visual gags. Character designs are standard here, other than Uzaki, as previously addressed. Ami looks a little strange, which may be a problem with the animation. Her face is often off-model, and she looks like she has a unibrow. There’s no need for exciting animation cuts here, though it would’ve elevated the script. One aspect of the production that stood out was the Ex-Arm quality CGI cars. The soundtrack is also upbeat and cheerful. The OP and ED are boisterous and catchy and fit the annoying tone of the show perfectly. Overall, Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai’s second season is a wholesome and harmless sequel that will make you occasionally grin and maybe even chuckle. Although unoriginal, the characters are endearing, and their relationship is pretty cute. If you are looking for lighthearted and easily consumable romantic anime fluff, this should serve its purpose.

Well, surely, we didn't think that we needed another season of SUGOI DEKAI, but the series is still just as humongous and boisterious as it was when Season 1 aired back in Summer 2020, a relatively good 2 years at this point. To be frank, the relationship between Hana Uzaki and Shinichi Sakurai was kinda a bit of a frenzy back when we were first introduced to the both of them, the not-so-introvert NEET and the big mouth annoyance of a girl that defined just as much as the Senpai-kouhai difference. But after a season's worth of getting used to them, Season 2 continues that trendand actually refines a lot of the roughness surrounding the lives of both Uzaki and Sakurai themselves, even with the somewhat in-your-face comedy progressively shifting to that of the possible romance relationship as they are literally stuck with each other and being comfortable in each other's shoes. New to Season 2, would be the in-depth look into the families of both MCs, as we get to witness more of what made them as such: the Uzakis' of father Fujio, mother Tsuyu, younger siblings of brother Kiri and sister Yanagi. Yes, the periodic table of misunderstandings grow ten-fold as the comedy grows like weeds from within, awaiting the tingling senses of its origin story and inheritance that basically caused the eldest Hana to be this way. It's good to see Sakurai being less of a NEET (though he usually still is) by trying to be more social, as is the case that makes for some intentional comedy that does feel like mangaka Take's source material is more refined and improved over time, especially with the hints of romance budding as both Uzaki and Sakurai notice that they're more than just hang-out buddies at this point. The rest are practically just the same if you've already watched Season 1 before, I really didn't notice anything different in ENGI's production styles, which is fine by me since I would rather want consistency over any kind of rush to get the sequel out. The OST feels improved for Season 2, or rather, that's because of the change in tones in the sequel's contents that made it to be as such. The SUGOI DEKAI is still beating its heartstrings nicely, and if you're already caught up with Season 1, the sequel should be a no-brainer that it's just as (if not more) enjoyable as the series hits its momentum to give the stride.
