Nice to see you again, and hello.
The anime this time around is Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san, which translate into Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles. Before I delve into it I would like to recommend that you watch the first episode yourself as this is a slapstick comedy, these types of anime unfortunately tend to repeat the same joke over and over again and can get old very quickly and considering I'll be focusing on the comedic elements I will spoil what few jokes this anime has to offer as a result. With that in mind I feel you should watch at least worth checking out a single episode before reading any further.
So the series is written in about as basic of a manner as the name would imply, since the jokes come across as equally barebone it's a shame not much effort seems to have been put into the writing, not just in the scenarios but also the characters as a whole and I can likely summarize their personalities in a few short sentences.
Koizumi-san loves to eat and is very passionate about the ramen she eats at ramen shops, but ignores everyone around her.
Yuu Oosawa wants to hang out with Koizumi, and even though she is constantly turned down she looks at whatever positive thing one could when she is.
Misa Nakamura doesn't like Koizumi, probably because she's afraid she'll take Yuu away from her.
Jun Takahashi didn't really leave a impression on me.
The main thing is that Koizumi-san loves her ramen and eats them incredibly fast and smiles, then is immediately back to her old self afterwards. The problem with this is that Yuu reacts in a predictable manner every time. If you preset the same joke every time and the characters reacts the same every time then the audience is going to see it coming for a mile away. There is actually a bit of a lesbian undertone to this anime with Yuu seemingly falling in love with Koizumi the first time she sees her to the point of calling her cute and continues to chase after her to the point of becoming a stalker, furthermore, Misa is jealous of Yuu calling Koizumi cute instead of her.
As I mentioned before, Yuu is constantly rejected by Koizumi and the thing she says may be different each time but it is essentially the same joke as five minutes ago, there are a few unique ones here and there but I feel as if this series will overstay it's welcome long before it ends. One other thing is a melody that plays which I first thought was the intermission but it actually plays every time the scenario changes and I found it to be a bit jarring.
In conclusion it's simply another series based off of one joke with little variety beyond it, I personally think that my time would be best spent elsewhere but I don't think slapstick comedy is necessarily a bad thing, it would work well if there was more to it then a single concept being repeated time and again as no matter how absurd it may be it's still just a single concept. That's it for this post, but if you haven't already then please check out my impressions of Yuru Camp△. And tomorrow I will take a look at Ito Junji: Collection as well as Toji no Miko, until then I hope you have a wonderful day.
