Uzakichan wa Asobitai is one of those romcoms where you know the MC and the main girl will get together at some point this is something that everyone expects the thing is the development of how we get from the starting point to that one since we already know the end the important part is the road right? Now lets look at Uzakichan wa Asobitai approaching to this. Simply put they do it very wrong. See the relationship between Sakurai and Uzaki can be perceived easily at the start between a kouhai and a senpai but after watching him for some time Uzaki arbitrarily decides that Sakurais lifestyle is bad and weird so she starts going with him to different places as its the kind of romcom where the girl teases the boy. The point here is that Uzaki in no way sees what Sakurai does as something people should do and you might argue that living spending time alone and playing videogames isnt a good kind of way of spending time but this is what Sakurai wants and she complains about it and starts to mock him for doing it. I know this is the main gimmick of the series just like in other series with teasing girls like Nagatorosan the thing is Nagatoro mocks her senpai because she wants him to pay more attention to her but in here it is because of no more reason than to make this weirdness of nature of a person be a normal person. Thing is Im not bothered as much about Uzaki being annoying Im more bothered by how hypocritical she sounds. I usually take in mind this when watching Uzakichan and its that in the first season in episode X where Uzaki starts talking about chocomints she starts ranting about how people dont get chocomints and mock it as if it was tooth paste and not its own thing. This is completely hypocritical just look at what she is saying there and how she behaves towards Sakurai the whole freaking show treating what he likes and does as some unnatural thing that must be changed because that isnt living life or something and during this rang she asks what if someone mocks Sakurais favourite game without knowing anything about it when she knows that this is the same she does but she wont stop mocking him at any point about this very thing she posited him as wrong in that rant because you know its fine when she does it I guess? Taking this into account and how Sakurai seems obviously annoyed about how she acts it makes their relationship a mess as Uzaki most definitely doesnt accept Sakurai for what he is. But this doesnt end here and continues with other characters as there is Ami a coworker of Sakurais and there is Itsuhito who is Sakurais friend. These two are probably the worst part of the show for me. They believe that Sakurai and Hanas relationship is basically meant to be and that they should be together they arent the only ones who think that many others do but these are the worst offenders of this because they try to push it hard saying that if they dont do anything then everything will go extremely slowly and it makes perfect sense that it would go slowly after all these two arent compatible at all. Itsuhito even mocks Sakurai about not taking the first step with Uzaki which is dumb if he doesnt see her that way then why would he do anything? He and Ami are basically stalkers to see their relationship work for their own desires. There is this scene in the second season where this fortune teller says they are completely compatible and stuff like that and it turns out it was basically Ami the one who pushed the idea for the fortune teller to say it for them to feel more forced to be together. This is not how relationships works this is not how you build them telling me again and again that they are very compatible doesnt make them compatible when their actions dont match said words. Sure they can spend some time together and have fun but most of the time they are just fighting and mocking each other. This is why their relationship feels unearned after watching two seasons Im wondering how are they even friends let alone boyfriend and girlfriend. It was expected that they would be together and thats perfectly fine they way it happened is dumb as their romantic development is forced not only because it feels rushed but because the characters are practically forcing them to be together more and more every time. To not say I just disliked all characters because I didnt as there is also the Uzaki family. I actually quite liked them even the misunderstandings of Tsuki were funnier than whatever Hana was doing which isnt much to say because what Hana does isnt funny. The father is cool and despite not having much screen time I found the brother cute. It doesnt help that this is jarring to watch animationwise I dont think there was much of a problem with the first season but then watching the second season it was painful to see stuff like the football match. The sound has never been something special in Uzakichan aside from Uzakis VA being annoying as all hell kudos to her for making it work so well because there arent many voices that can annoy me. The songs are just fine at best I wont be remembering neither the opening nor ending of this or the previous season. The first season didnt make me angry it was a pretty subpar romcom and nothing much but this one does things way worse than the first one as if it was forcing Uzakis and Sakurais relationship down my throat even more than the characters force it down the MCs throats. If you want to watch this for fan service go somewhere else Uzakis boobs are all youd get. Thank you for reading.
