The title this time is Working Buddies, otherwise known as Hataraku Onii-san. The episodes are not very long, therefore this post will not be very long either. The premise is basically about two guys who work together delivering packages throughout town, oh, and they're both cats.
Tapio Chatarozawa is a overly cheery and hyperactive person who takes pride in his work, while Kuehiko Roshihara is more down to earth and is not as enthusiastic about his work. There's also Sukoyama, their higher up who neither of them can tell what he's thinking as he goes off into thought constantly, making it seem as if he's about to snap and murder the two of them violently. These quirks are nice and comical but I'm concerned they might lose their charm before very long even with only 4 minutes a episode.
The art is worth talking about, as nothing is drawn very well which works well to comedic effect, the lines forming the characters shift slightly every frame, this is to emphasize the poor artstyle and overall comedic tone, but I think it will get old pretty fast.
With such a short runtime and a some good jokes, it seems like a good anime to save for a rainy day when you aren't really in the mood for a full-on episode or want something more light-hearted, but if you're looking for something with a little more depth then I would recommend looking somewhere else. That's all for this post, but if you haven't already be sure to check out my impressions on Grancrest SenkiCitrus and Sanrio Danshi. Tomorrow I will take a look at Gakuen BabysittersMitsuboshi Colors and Slow Start. Have a wonderful day.
