As the head of her middle school's science club, it's only fitting that Ueno is also a brilliant inventor. With devices that can convert any liquid into drinkable water, deodorize the most foul smells, or even generate dark matter to be used as a means of concealment, it seems like nothing is beyond Ueno's capabilities. However, she doesn't invent these devices for the advancement of mankind. Rather, the one force that motivates her is love, the only phenomenon she can't quite figure out. Ueno is head over heels for Tanaka, her nonchalant fellow club member. Yet, because she is too nervous to confess her love and he is too oblivious to notice her affection, her love life is completely stagnant. In Ueno's mind, if she could just expose him to perverted situations, then surely he'd get flustered and fall for her, right? Assisted by her stone-faced classmate and dedicated wingwoman Yamashita, Ueno employs her many inventions on Tanaka in a lewd manner in hopes that he may one day understand how she feels.

I feel as if the title of this anime should be changed from "How clumsy you are, Miss Ueno" to "How horny you are, Miss Ueno." As the synopsis suggests, Ueno-san is "in love with the concept of falling in love." Our main trio of students consists of Tanaka, Yamashita, and Ueno herself, as they spend their time in the science club together testing out various inventions that Ueno has prepared in advance for the oblivious Tanaka. The premise sounds simple enough, right? Well, unless you enjoy watching junior high students participate in blatantly crude sexual gags with the follow up of loud nervous breakdowns, feelfree to pass this one up with ease. Now for the following... Jumping into every episode, we are greeted with Ueno introducing her new invention to the viewers with a complex narration of said device for around a minute or so, only to then use it in an attempt to explore her obsession with "the concept of falling in love." I quote this because apparently to Ueno, the experience of falling in love is achieved through involving your panties as many times as humanly possible, getting yourself along with other side characters to participate in absurdly unfunny sexual situations, and to yell as embarrassingly as you can whenever you get the chance. Seriously, if the show sees even the slightest opportunity to take advantage of this potty like humor, it will try as much as it can for the sake of a gag, and absolutely fails to make me laugh even once. With our main bro Tanaka, wholly uninterested and oblivious to the motives of Ueno, this rinse and repeat cycle continues for 12 whole episodes. Luckily these episodes only last for half the amount of airing time as standard episode length, so it could have been worse. Other than that, there really isn't much more to add. The shows art is fairly basic, and the characters play their roles accordingly of an over the top tsundere, a dense male interest, and a dull robot. As I said, this continues for 12 episodes, so if you have seen the first episode, it's just rehash of that for the rest of the way. In part, for those who can laugh at this show and enjoy this sort of thing, you have achieved something that I simply cannot.
Ueno-san is a simple show at heart, but it manages to use great execution, creative ideas, and one very adorable Ueno-san in order to make a comedy that not only works, but provides more than just it's comedic jokes. At it's heart it is a sexual joke comedy like other shows before it, most of Ueno's inventions have to do with something lewd, or something romantic. While some shows go out of their way to force this sort of stuff, and Ueno-san admittedly at times can too, the bulk of these have a simple source: the infinite horniness of Ueno-san, and how much she loves herbeloved kouhai. Most of her inventions are attempts at getting him closer to her or to get him to do perverse things to her. Her manner is pretty interesting to watch as it's not just about her trying to lewd him all the time, but rather her mindgames in trying to get him to lewd her, which is what she really so badly wants. However, she happens to be a complete and utter tsundere and even when she gets what she wants she ends up overreacting and running away unable to deal with the strong emotions that are in her heart. Despite how over the top her character is, she feels genuine and manages to feel like a real character. When she is dealing with problems that relate to other club's that go to her for help she manages to treat them seriously and do her best to help out. She isn't just her infinite horniness, even if it is a large part of her. After all she is a teenager and she is experiencing strong emotions for the first time, and it's not unnatural to not know what to do with them. So while over the top her emotions make sense to me, and I find myself able to relate to her and her struggles in trying to get closer to her love and get the things she wants without being so forward about it. Furthermore the jokes are able to have a good amount of variety and are able to focus on a wide array of different lewd actions and romantic actions rather than focusing on the same items over and over again. The wide array of her inventions allow for a diversity in what happens depending on what she wants to get Tanaka to do at that time. And while a dense harem MC can be frustrating at times the sheer denseness of Tanaka is quite humorous especially with how obvious Ueno is. It also helps that because Ueno is such a tsundere, it's not like either of them are making that many serious attempts to showcase their love. Nor is it like she is losing because he is so dense. And besides I feel the sometimes sweet and off the top of his head statements that he is prone to making is exactly what she likes about him. Because with all of his denseness he manages to make these statements that light her heart on fire, without even trying to do so in the first place. Not to mention the denseness actually does a great job for the straight man role that most japanese comedies have. With his denseness he is able to fill this role without feeling too over the top and unnatural in it. He states normalcy and acts the most normal of the bunch without overdoing it or putting too much weight on the joke in his words. While he fills the straight man role, he doesn't become nothing but a straight man, and manages to fit into that role naturally due to who he is. And this denseness creates an interesting mindgame dynamic. While some other shows have the main romantic leads face off against each other and try to outwit each other, Ueno's mindgames aren't battles of wits, they're battles of who is the dumbest. Ueno's plans are good but she manages to sabotage herself almost every time. Tanaka isn't even trying to mindgame, rather his sheer denseness works in his favor as he manages to go against her plans with sheer density. Despite this, the mindgames don't have a clear power structure. Ueno often gets her wants in a round about way due to Tanaka's denseness. It may not be the way she wanted but it still warms her heart and brings her closer to him. Even thought her plans fail their closeness grows with each one. Even in their interactions it's easy to see how close they are. Despite Ueno's weird requests Tanaka often humors her and goes along with them. Despite Ueno getting overloaded, she does get some of the love and interaction that Tanaka desires. Her plans may fail, but often she doesn't go empty handed. And when it comes down to it Tanaka does try his best for her, and it's sweet. Also I have to mention Yamashita who is a great wingman and does her best for Ueno. The dynamic between the two of them is also quite nice as they do care about each other and do try to help each other. Overall Ueno is a great comedy and a great romance. With some fun gags, some fun mindgames, and some great characters. Ueno is the highlight of the show, and it's so much fun watching her demanding tsundereness and all of her adorable over the top reactions to everything. It's funny, cute, and heartwarming, and makes for a great rom-com to watch.
Originally I didn't plan to watch Ueno-san, but the "funniest comedy in a long time" claims got me curious. Should have recalled the cat died for it. The first gag is about Ueno wanting people to drink her pee... Plot of the century. Apparently it's her way to show some type of affection/love confession to this Tanaka dude, who is pretty dense, btw. Lots of pee and love related stuff goes down here (in the literal sense of the phrase, unfortunately), but I am not sure where the fun in here is supposed to be. Turns out rest of the series is highly similar to this firstsketch. Rom-com between Ueno the weirdo and Tanaka the dense, gags being bizarre and often centering around some sort of perverses. Nothing I would go against by default, but I am just not laughing.. at all. Not even once. I was utterly bored by the pantsu scenes and Ueno's over exaggerated anime reactions where she yells like some sort of loli tsundere voiced by Rie Kugumiya or some equally lame shit. This series gets a big no-thank-you from me.
Do you wish Seitokai Yakuindomo had 10 more seasons? Well, this is one of them. Which is to say, this is an inappropriate comedy that manages to stay classy and not devolve into outright vulgarity. The source of gags is absurdity of situations and absurdity of character interactions, which, on the other hand, brings it closer to the stuff like Asobi Asobase. Also be mindful that it’s that specific type of anime comedy where they find a billion ways to tell the same exact joke differently. The heroine is a middle-school girl inventor that could’ve easily propelled humanity a millennium forward if she wasn’t too busy withromantic plots like trying to force the male lead to drink her (purified) urine, which in her adolescent maiden’s mind is something akin to an indirect kiss. The hero is genuinely autistic in an actual medical sense of the term, on a high-functioning end of the spectrum. He isn’t just dense to heroine’s advances - he’s not familiar with the concept of romance or boy-girl relationship (and can’t tell boys and girls apart to begin with). The supporting cast are colorful weirdos, some of them are blatantly copied from Monogatari, at least as far as character design is concerned. The show wears this on its sleeve, in fact, the similarities are incorporated into the show’s comedy - some gags are based on subverting your expectations of how the corresponding Monogatari character will act in a given situation. Also, there are plenty of moments of genuine romantic fluff that makes you go “aww”, further driving home SYD comparison. The OP and ED songs (there are 3 different ones of the latter) are likewise cute and fluffy. The season ends on a high note of PROGRESS. The only downside is 10 minutes per episode format, the comedy is strong and varied enough to carry full-length episodes, so it feels like a wasted opportunity. 9/10 for a comedy show that knows what it does and does it well.
Cutting straight to the chase:The more degenerate you are,the more you will enjoy this. This show may look like it's meant for kids, but in fact it is a true seinen.Only a person who is comfortable in accepting his fetishes can enjoy this. The episodes are 10 minutes long divided into 2 stories.All stories have a recurring theme-Ueno invents a gadget to try to make her kouhai fall in love with her. The twist is that instead of conventional ways she tries to awaken various fetishes like pee/sweat fetish,foot fetish,big boob fetish etc in the mind of the kouhai and hilariously fails at it. Most of the timeyou would be left thinking,"If only this would happen to me!" The character designs are surprisingly well done for a short anime. Don't miss this one,the episodes are not that long anyway!
This series is like the best word for it a meme show. i mean for a anime which makes your eyes go wide open and make you spit out your drink with laughter there is no other justified title. This might be one of the hidden gem for a comedic series this season. Lets just dive in on a short review. Bit of minor spoilers mind you. The plot revolves around three high school students and their science club activities, but of course its no ordinary activity nor are the students Meet our main female Mc, Ueno who is a fanged tsundere girl with a strong attitude,clumsyofc, a bit perverted and most importantly a fucking genius. A genius in creating Bizarre,crazy and amazing Inventions, which could uplift and help mankind into a better future. But who cares for mankind as the personal her junior and the male mc Tanaka. Tanaka lets say is another of a normal but top tier dense, blockhead Mc of all time. Ofc i termed him blockhead is for the his continuous aloofness and ignorance of Uenos advances. But Ueno on the other hand is not so normal in her advances, as her idea of conveying feelings of love is messed up or rather to get to the point she tries to appeal with her kinky,thirsty feminine side with weird ass fetishes. Yep fetishes like stockings, panties, swimsuits even urine and sweat and the list just goes on. The inventions which are the main tools of attracting Tanaka are at first seemingly brilliantly amazing if applied and looked at normally,its explained by the narrator in a really good way too. But then comes the true perverted motive behind explained by ueno, how she can use it to awaken Tanaka's manly perverted side and divert it towards her. For example a invention to create urine and sweat into drinking water (her urine for tanaka to drink ofc), or to make stockings turn into a pet or a stocking as a phone charger. (you see where i am going) This is just the start of the comedy, the real fun starts when Tanaka in his simple curiosity gets baited into using the inventions, which either causes him to screw up the purpose of the invention in his simplicity or cause physical contact with ueno who is the perverted mind but all of a sudden turns into a maiden of heart with his touch with her shy and girly side awakened which of course causes nervous breakdown in her and in the end the plan to fail hilariously. Finally we have our third support character Yamashita, Ueno's assistant. A normal character, but with some good rare comedic outbursts, antics and dialogues. She knows whats ueno's upto and supports her cause, but sometimes ends up as the guinea pig for her inventions or sometimes the poor victim of the failures. But best thing is she is a wingman & always save Ueno's ass on time. literally. There are other side characters too mainly which are all girls, who are mostly weird and sometimes present weird sexual kinky innuendos, but in a series is like this its pretty normal and quite adds up quite nicely to the plot. Apart from the weird, crazed fill comedy, there are some rare sweet moments which are delightful and worth it. That's what made me like this show even more. Animation is quite decent, clear cut drawings and bright colors, makes it look a kid show but definitely serves the purpose of the series. The ED which has three different Versions which have great visuals, good sound track and amazing creativity which caught my eye. example constellations in a dark sky made in the designs of Ueno's Inventions That was particularly interesting and really well done. Another feature i liked was Ueno's VA performance, her delivery of random lines and the ones where Ueno is supposed to be nervous, anxious or the likes really helps to complete Ueno's personality. In the end i would say, the only downside to this is its a short series of 12 minutes. wish it was longer but if you have a good capacity for really bizzare,a bit vulgar, weird but good comedy which can really make you enjoy and laugh your ass out. Then this one is really worth the watch. Don't miss it.
It's not really good, humor is really subjectif so you may find it funny but, for me, just being inaproprietly sexual isn’t enought to qualifie as funny, Ueno's inventions were kinda fun tho. Concerning the rest: - the sound and animation are okay, what you would expect for that kind of comedy, the art style is cool - The characters are kind of an issue, their personality is generic but nothing terrible, the problem is that they are middle schooler. And while I'm not naive enough to think that middle schooler don't like sex jokes, here it's a bit too much and their age make everything feel abit creepy. Overall it's not that terrible, if you like the humor you will probably find the show enjoyable, but if like me you don't then that plus the characters' age make it really not worth watching.
I started watching one episode and couldn't stop. Tanaka is very relatable when it comes to Girls who try too hard. It is a bit lewd i must admit and it's definetly not something i would watch with my family in the living room but i enjoyed it thorughly. The music in the anime is pleasant and fitting, the characters aren't very deep but they don't have to be. There's always something new to see. I like the music because it fits the romantic aspects of this anime. I like the dynamics between the characters. There wasn't really much revealed about the school they're attending.But i also don't think it would add anyhting to the story and anime itself.Before i watched it, I thought this was some fanservice trash but, i was actually very pleasantly surprised. It's like candy, you know its bad for you but it tastes nice. I would recommend it to guys who just want to watch something pleasant for the senses and know the struggles of being around girls who really try hard. People who just want to shut off and that don't want to think about complicated storylines and characters.
The first episode of this 2019 psychological horror/thriller/ masterpiece of a series revolves around a read haired loli forcing a little boy to drink her piss. Jokes aside its a pretty guilty pleasure anime and good if you want to have your wife divorce you or have your parents leave. WARNING you gotta have a pretty high IQ if you wanna watch it and understand all of its subtle nuances. Like there is a scene where a loli gets spanked. This shows the deep psychological effect of child abuse and how the only thing separating us from the lolis is pain 7/10 Would drink again... Wait
Story- concerning Sound- the main characters voice is annoying Character- her personality matches her voice her friend is a blank slate and the boy she wants is a nieve child who needs to run Enjoyment- no This show is about a middle schooler who's trying to get laid. Really. It's would be entertaining (entertaining not good just entertaining) if they were adults or something like that but when plot point two is the girl trying to get a boy to look up her skirt so he can see her panties and they are in MIDDLE SCHOOL, I kind of have to step back a bit. I know it's justsupposed to be fun and games but the main girl is seriously predator like.
Ueno likes her kouhai and will use her crazy inventions in order to show it....fanservicey and maybe crude hilarity ensues. Ueno-san wa Bukiyou is an anime that has an ok setup of Ueno always trying to get her kouhai Tanaka voiced by Aimi Tanaka into romantic and sometimes crude fanservicey situations for the attention and whatnot and 10/10 Ueno's own inventions or her weakness to romance backfires on her. Now LA will say the crude fanservicey moments does make some squick towards the humor, like Ueno trying to make Tanaka drink Ueno's distilled piss (seriously) to making Tanaka eat her panties that turned edible, that isthe level of "crudeness" the humor comes in, of course the comedy does fall under slapstick, majority if not ALL the time falling under Ueno. So the comedy is ONLY utilizing that formula and goes somewhat extreme with it but not much else other than that as a whole. The animation done by Lesprit has a pastel moe aesthetic to it and it suits this kinda anime short and especially towards the character designs and for such an anime short, it does itself well with the facial reactions, especially coming from Ueno and her wing-woman Yamashita voiced by Akari Kageyama albeit chibi-comedicially of course. Voice acting wasn't that bad either with Yuu Serizawa as Ueno having great cadence as Ueno from the confident tsun to embarrassed dere, LA was actually surprised that Tanaka was voiced by Aimi Tanaka. The minor cast also gets a mention from several well known voice actors such as Rina Satou, Shiori Izawa and Miku Itou coming in to play bit parts and blending well with the main cast. Ueno-san wa Bukiyou for a comedy anime short does what it sets out to do, crude fanservice yes, but for it did it was fine...barely for what it did. Obviously not the best anime short of Winter 2019 but...it was an "interesting' anime short with some chuckles here and there, mostly in the situations Ueno goes through.
Actually, i was a little bit too late to watch this anime. Overall i enjoy this anime as an adult who sometimes love to explore everything that could entertain myself. You should expect nothing from this, or you may feel huh. The story, well. There is no story to tell except the clumsy-perverted tsundere scientist-girl who always try to attract the fake-innocent boy she like by her unthinkable creation. Don't need to be serious, this anime just provide about 10 minutes of a puberty comedy that could make your jaw drops. For the other things, it was ok for me. Especially for the opening, i likeit so much. Even i search it immediately as i hear it.
Ueno-san wa Bukiyou (2019) STORY: Simplistic story of a smart girl with the generic guy who seems unable to realise the girl’s feelings. She carries out her desires to get close to him in a hilarious way which he plays along with 80% of the time not always realising. He may reciprocate these feelings, but you do not get a full picture as expected of the first season. The story progresses with a good pace which keeps you interested in the next set of antics. Each episode is split into various skits that always conclude somewhat. ART: The art used is actually well suited to the series,gives a comedic sense with it. The characters get a good definition and the background which is always more or less the same with slight exceptions is consistent. SOUND: Sounds are good with fitting music to go with it. The Japanese voices suit the characters very well and do not get annoying with the antics through various pitches. The intro and outro are both also good for the series. CHARACTER: The characters are very well done for the style. They have consistency throughout in their details. The development isn’t really a major factor with 12 episodes of 12 minutes that said there does seem to be a good connection with the MC and the Female lead to which helps it go along nicely. ENJOYMENT: The humour in the show is very funny in my opinion, I do like the way it gives you something new every time but also sometimes brings back older props to revitalise the situation to avoid it going stale and becoming a bit of a rhetorical situation. OVERALL: Overall, if you want a funny series that doesn’t take too long to watch that will give you genuine laughter then this is a series for you. Enough happens in every episode to make you want more. Perhaps a second season may appear in the future. 8/10.
Just personal scratch. Advised, possible spoilers. Opinion & Informal Art: 7/10 The art was pretty good. I thought that the overall quality was clean. The proportions and anatomy checked out too. The environments (mostly the science room) looked good. No nature showcases or panoramics. Impact shots looked fine. Facial expressions were way too cute. Supporting details and extras also looked good and were nice additions that the manga didn't have. Overall, the art quality was pretty good and there wasn't too much for me to complain about. The art was adapted well from the manga. Animation: 7/10 Animation was pretty nice too. General motions looked fluid. Gestures and natural movementslooked believable. Quick sequences looked good too. No selective framing, dropping frames, shortcuts, etc. Not really any impact sequences. Overall, I thought the animation was consistently above-average. Characters: 7/10 Characters adapted well from the manga. I thought this show did a great job in giving life and personality to the characters from the manga, especially the main character, Ueno. The VA for Ueno really deserves praise for how well she did voicing Ueno. Plot & Development: 6/10 Follows the manga pretty closely while taking some liberties in presentation to add punch or flair. Outside of the adaptation and just looking at the narrative itself, this story surprisingly has a lot of adult themes. It doesn't hold back any punches when it comes to deliberate service shots or lewd content, but the humor is very slapstick and cute. If there's one thing I like about this show is how cute the reactions of Ueno were. Overall, a fine adaptation. Not much else to say. Music: 6/10 The bgm was fine, that particular hype theme did its job. The soundboard was also fine. No sound design to note. I liked some of the ED's. Conclusion: 5/10 Adaptations of episodic stories turn out like this usually; not really introducing a lead-up to a conclusion and just ending the show as is. That's fine. There wasn't a dedicated conclusion really. The end of the show was just the end of the last particular skit that was adapted. One example of recent memory was Asobi Asobase. Overall: 6/10 This was mostly just a personal taste sorta thing. I really liked how cute Ueno and her shenanigans were. I'm definitely going to pick up the manga again or watch an S2 if that's ever a thing. Overall, this adaptation was well done. I didn't personally find too much comedy in this, but it was hella cute. Edit: 4/8/2019 Grammar and flow corrections
Ueno-san wa Bukiyou or in romanize version" How clumsy you are, Miss Ueno" frankly, the title itself was just too misleading cu'z Ueno isn't really clumsy, now that's the problem with them Japs, they have this lousy idea of giving their works a misleading title to either sell or exaggerate, cu'z frankly Ueno is anything but clumsy cu'z that actually goes to Kitanaga the captain of the swim club, actually Ueno is smart, intelligent, hardworking, dedicated, that's her good side, her bad side was that she's vulgar , arrogant , and a typical tsundere, but being clumsy isn't one of it , in fact originalcreator, tugeneko, should have title this anime "Masani Ueno-san to iu" or "Just say it. Miss Ueno". Now the story plot maybe simple since it involves Ueno wanting to impress Tanaka would resort into all kinda of inventions in such a way that Tanaka would confess his feeling for her, but then again it was kinda annoying that Ueno is a dichotomy where at one point she wants Tanaka to love her, on the other hand she blushes away when Tanaka closes in on her (not on purpose actually), now Tanaka on the other hand was just this usual oblivious guy who can't seem to get that Ueno has a crush on her, which makes him annoying and what about Yamashita???? Well duh ,she's basically the 5th wheel and nothing more and don't be expecting some good fanservices from her, cu'z there is only one good fan-service around here and that's with the tennis captain, so here are my ratings for this anime: Story- Very Good 8: since the comedy part did live up to it. Art- Decent 4: Don't expecting any good fanservices around here, nor any swim suit services. Sound- Good 7: since the seiyuu who did Ueno did it well, but Tanaka to be voice by a girl was jaz gay. Character- Poor 3: Well, for Ueno to have the intellect she doesn't have the guts to confess to Tanaka let alone push through with her attempts to not blush away when he unintentionally gets close to her, Tanaka on the other has to be this usual oblivious guy thing where he just has no idea about the girl's desire for him and Yamashita should be better off as competition for Tanaka's affection than just a 5th wheel that doesn't give a damn. Enjoyment- Good 7: It was fun watch, but I jaz can't shake off the usual character stuff in this 12 minute anime. Overall- good 7: It was good, but for the anime to me mistitled "Ueno-san wa Bukiyou" was a minus. BOOM Mic drop.
i mean, i've seen worse, i think people are over exaggerating when they say that is the best comedy of last season but the people saying that is the worst comedy they've ever seen its a little bit too much too. the plot is ok i guess, if you like seeing lolis that are basically begging for d1ck it's going to be a pleasant anime for you. the inventions that Ueno makes are kinda interesting, the male character as always is really dumb, there's also the "sane" character that helps the "insane" one, etc. it's entertaining to say the least. the worst think that i can think ofrn is how the op cuts so abruptly the beginning of the episode, but maybe that's a little net-picky.
Short-form comedy to help you get through the weekend. Basically, every episode contains two segments where the always thirsty and always blushing Ueno tries to get something out of her crush Tanaka. Using her high-tech nifty inventions, she tries to get him to think sexually about her, like looking at her panties, groping her, or even hold hands! Naturally, this always backfires on her, but not always how you would expect it. Ueno is a tsundere who can't confess to Tanaka, so she will try to get his attention in ridiculous, overly complex, and hilarious ways. However, this boy Tanaka is so dense, black holes arejealous of him. Whereas this would usually just make him annoying, here it makes him so annoying, that it becomes funny. Yes, this anime has a crude sense of humor. The very first segment is about drinking purified urine. Others have jokes involving sexual harrasment (that is always a direct consequence of someones actions). But what keeps it funny is how outrageous it can be. The anime has a rather light-hearted tone, and its short length makes it an easy watch. Animation-wise, not much to write home about, as the animation itself is pretty simplistic and limited. The character designs are very decent though, especially those of Ueno and Tanaka, as they complement their personalities. Sure, this type of show might not speak to everyone, but if you feel like watching something easy, but fun, maybe you should give it shot. I had a fun time with this.
This anime is the story about a perverted club captain of science club and her endless dubious attempts to gain the love of Tanaka another member. Honestly,I'd have given this anime much lower score but there is one great thing about this anime it's short. All episodes are around 12 minutes long and that is great. With episodes this short you can just sit back and enjoy whatever is going on without everything feeling dragged out. The bigger problem with the anime is that it has a lot of sexual stuff, not enough to be considered echhi but still it has some minor stuff. This wouldn'tbe a problem but the thing is, due to the art style, the characters look like kids. So it's really uncomfortable at some points. Still I think watch it if you don't have anything else to watch. It's dumb, it's simple and it's great for when you want to watch something short and somewhat enjoyable.
Ueno-san wa Bukiyou was a show that piqued my interest whilst browsing through the seasonals before they began to air. It seemed like it'd be a decently funny slice of life comedy that I might get a few cheap laughs out of. What did we get? A short, unfunny waste of time. I figured since I have yet to a review a show of shorter episode time length, I'll give this a shot. Without further adieu, here's my review on aforementioned show. To start off we'll begin with the story, there isn't much here due to the nature of Ueno-san but I'll elaborate so you guyscan get the gist of it. The basic premise is more or less a group of middle school students in a Science club create new experiments . Ueno subjects the other two, Tanaka mainly, to her concoctions in some sort of elaborate ruse to get Tanaka to partake in lewd actions of affection towards Ueno. Meanwhile, Yamashita is mostly a bystander of the others shenanigans. This repeats for the entirety of the 12 episodes, with each episode split up into two separate experiments. It's fairly simple and non-convoluted if that's up your alley, but with it being impeccably formulaic, watching one episode is basically seeing all of them. Next up is the characters, with there being three main characters. Ueno is uh, a rather perverse character. As I mentioned before, she has a crush on the male MC Tanaka. Her experiments ranged from trying to make Tanaka consuming her urine to him eating her panties (alright Japan). Anytime her crush is finally about to go through with her experiments she chickens out and REEEEEE's in typical tsundere loli fashion. Tanaka himself is either the biggest airhead savant ever created or just so fed up with Ueno's shit that he acts like he's completely unaware of her intentions. I honestly can't pick between the two and I probably don't wanna know. It's not so much of a dynamic of his personality, it's more so of a driving force in the shows "plot". Not really much of you can describe about him other than that it got old quick. Yamashita is long-line character in the deadpan trope. These characters are always hit or miss for me, and it's on the latter end of that spectrum this time around. She gives me hints of Yuki from Haruhi and Mai from Nichijou. More or less there to play along with Ueno's shenanigans, she as well doesn't contribute much of anything. Lastly, I'll group the art and sound/ost together: Honestly, there isn't much to complain about here, it's incredibly run of the mill in both categories. Nothing really stands out in a good or bad way; it's just there. Pro's- Short run time, so even if it's not your cup of tea you can finish it in a couple of hours at most Falls along of absurdist comedy, which I typically enjoy unfortunately not in this case Con's- Jokes are incredibly off-putting Characters are quite bad Formulaic nature ruins the longevity of the show Recommendations: Takagi-san; a more light-hearted sweeter version of this show without the lewd jokes. Asobi Asobase; A group of middle school girls doing shenanigans in their club-has more mature styled comedy like Ueno-san. Thanks again, for reading my reviews everyone. I hope this have given you some insight if you want to indulge into this show or not.
"Ignorance is bliss" -Thomas Gray In many ways, an ignorant anime character can be fun and humorous. But this... is just annoying. Sure each of these episodes in 10 minutes long with 2 short stories, but with zero character development, it gets tiring. I can't even imagine watching all of this in one sitting. I would rather watch a lot of more interesting anime from 4-koma anime. It is extremely repetitive and probably the worst anime I watched this season. The best part of it is that maybe once in a while, it's pretty funny, but that's kind of it. Overall, light and fun, butgets old really quick.
