Nowadays what gets me to watch anime/read manga is when clips or screengrabs are recommended to me on IG or Youtube. Otherwise I haven't really been watching much LOL I'm always too distracted by Animal Crossing or job searching. Very sad. Oh, also I've graduated from college so theoretically I should have more time to watch anime, but that hasn't been the case so far. I think I've just been really anxious over adult things like the looming start of paying back college loans and the fact that there aren't a lot of jobs I'm qualified to do. But I'm sure things will work out eventually.
Asobi Asobase is definitely a breath of fresh air and a nice escape from the everyday troubles of life. The humor is pretty ridiculous. It's kind of like Nichijou on crack. But also kind of scary. It follows a main trio of girls: Hanako, Olivia, and Kasumi. They're part of the Pastime Club which isn't really a club because they don't have enough people, but they have fun together doing things like kendama or playing in a kiddie pool inside. There's a lot of inhuman screaming that goes on, mostly from Hanako and a lot of the times I found myself turning off my brain just to watch. Not in a bad way, but just in a "it's necessary to suspend your belief and knowledge of reality" in order to really enjoy this show. At least, that's what I felt when I started watching. I'm definitely not confident in saying anything beyond that this is a comedy anime of middle school girls doing interesting things.
If you like really strange humor and you enjoy slice of life antics where there's no real plot, but just lots of crackhead behaviors exhibited, this would be a good anime for you. Maybe don't watch it out loud though, someone might be really disturbed by Hanako's inhuman screams.
