Anime Ventilation 32 Tonari no Seki kun

I first saw this anime in a Facebook video captioned "When you get bored in class" or something similar. It was genius. After that I never really gave it any mind until I watched a video on short anime. Ranging at around 7-8 minutes each this series is really easy to binge in a day even though it has 21 episodes which seems like a lot (LOL @ Kuroko no Basket with those long seasons (not complaining though)). So technically if you binge it and don't watch the intro and outro every time then it should really only take you 2 hours and 45 minutes. Pretty good right?

{LOL I always say there's spoilers, but there's literally no plot in this one so what would I spoil?}

This anime is between Fukoi, a girl that wants to pay attention in class, and Seki, who is the one constantly distracting her from her studies with his unique antics. The most entertaining thing about this series is actually all of it. It's a very lighthearted series that follow the imaginations of a young boy and sensible girl. Seki takes all of his games very seriously, even maniacally (ie Shoji vs Chess). Fukoi unintentionally ends up watching him play every single day which is detrimental to her studies, but at least she'll have fun memories to look back on, am i right?

There's really not a lot to say because there's no plot. Something very striking though is that even though it's fast paced with each episode being a class period, it still captures the innocence of youth and the dynamic between the two. It's very simple with no unnecessary drama or romance in it. Very playful and it serves its purpose to bring some joy into everyone's lives. Also I'd like to just randomly say that the soundtrack was perfect. You don't really notice it because it's very well ingrained into the show, but it's very lighthearted and playful, very fitting.

Overall I'd highly encourage anyone going through a rough time or maybe a lackluster day to sit down for a while and watch a couple episodes of this. (＾▽＾)

Also did I mention the motion captured here? It's really great.

The robot family and their theme song is iconic. Robot Family Song

Seki kun is such a cute kid.

Also this is actually really detailed. In some episodes he makes a different gesture than putting up his finger. Hehe go find it!
