Denki-gai no Honya-san
What its like to work in a manga store, with heavy slice of life elements, thats basically what Denki-gai is. Its super funny, its all over the place, it makes very little sense, its a ton of great fun. The girls are all really cute, the way everything melds together works so well too.
Working in Umanohane, we have a nice large cast of characters: Sensei, the manga artist whos trying to go pro, Fu Girl, a crazy zombie loving girl who loves horror manga and will imagine things in her favor to try and kill zombies (shes really funny), Kameko, the one who takes pictures of all the events that occur, a slightly sad tale for her, but she has fuwa fuwa afro hair and is super cute, Sommelier, the silent one who knows what you like just by looking at you, specializes in ero ero goodness, Hio-tan, the clumsy one who is super embarrassed around the Director and tends to get picked on because of her body shape, Kantoku, or the Director, he loves to take video of things happening and is always a huge tease to everyone in the store, also manages everyone around and lastly Umio, the new kid, super shy, has a huge passion for otaku related things, daikimarus, pantzu, waifus, you name it, hes pretty funny.
So what happens when you work in a manga store, well a lot, you deal with wild customers who are desperate for the latest manga releases, everyone wants the latest ero books, things in the work place are occurring, love is blossoming, tons of things. There are events that happen both in and out of work and as such, thats what youre watching in Denki-gai. Yes, its very slice of life, yes its 100% episodic and yes, its laugh out loud funny with what appears to be info on actual work in manga related places, so its pretty great!
I mentioned in my Ninja Nonsense review that Ive never seen an art style as unique as it before, but here comes Denki-gai and what do you know, it actually has some striking similarities, especially in the way faces and eyes are drawn, so I think thats pretty cool. Denki-gai utilizes some really cute colors for its art and is also very nicely drawn. I think its a cute anime to watch.
OP and ED, like always I have no complaints, I think theyre very cute, fun and upbeat, makes it easy to listen. A lot of great sound effects and BGM too, but the best thing were the seiyuu for sure. The girls, when they get flustered and embarrassed, so unbelievably cute, all the stuttering, all the high pitched voices, all the yelling and running away, all the squeeing when the girls are next to the boys they like, Ahhhhhhhh, I love it all and there is so much of it in Denki-gai, just soooooo goooooood ~, seriously ~ gao gao ~
Denki-gai, its a good watch, gao gao ~
