Before anyone comments about it, yes, this is one of those anime. For some reason I have been recently watching these yuri slice of life anime recently. There is just something about girls doing the most random things that I somehow find extremely entertaining, and this anime is no exception.

Story:
        Yuyushiki is about the daily lives of the three main girls. It is more focused on  the ridiculous conversations that these girls make. The conversations usually start all serious but it shifts to the most random conversations of all time. Give this show 5 minutes and they have already discussed 3-6 topics already. It kind of reminds me of three other idiots that I know…

Characters:
           The story is mainly focused on three characters: Yuzuko, Yui, and Yukari. Yuzuko is a fun and bubbly girl who usually initiates the various humorous situations that Yuyushiki has, while on the other hand, Yui is more serious and tries to keep the conversations somewhat grounded. Lastly, Yukari, well, she is just an airhead, a very adorable airhead.

Art and Animation:
      To truly appreciate the art of this anime, I recommend two things: Learn Japanese, and stare at the faces of the characters. I can’t tell you how many times I pressed “pause” just to stare at the weird, and sometimes adorable, faces that these characters make.

OP/ED:
           The opening theme and ending theme are extremely lighthearted. It is soothing yet fun enough to be interesting. The best way I can describe the theme songs is that it is one of those songs that you want to fall asleep to. Is that a good thing? Or is it a bad thing? You will have to be the judge.

Yuyushiki is your typical slice of life anime. The characters make jokes, pull pranks, all typical slice of life clichés, but somehow they still made it interesting. Some of the jokes may not appeal to those outside of Japan, but do not let that turn you off. Give it a chance, you will not regret it.

OVERALL RATING: LUCKY GIRL!  out of 10.
