Best. Tv short. Hands down. Put that hand away, Jimmy, you've got an anime to watch.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please! Pause watching Fullmetal Alchamist, and pause watching Steins;Gate. I've found a remarkable anime that's 10 times better than both shows. It's not even a question anymore of what the greatest anime of all time is. I present to you all, the gracious work that is: Ueno-san

I bet you're thinking, "What makes this show so special?" And boy, I could go on for HOURS talking about what's so great about this anime. But you're not here for that. I'll just give you a brief rundown.

The characters:
This story is original. We've got the twin tailed tsundere, the dense main character, and of course, the best friend. But what makes that all so special? Easy: They're second graders. I mean, sure. You COULD just go over to Steins;Gate and watch some classic Sci-Fi, but why do that when you can watch Ueno-san make a portable charger that's energy comes from rubbing her thighs? That’s right, you won't find THAT in Steins;Gate. And trust me, watching a second grade genius tsundere school girl try to forcefully get her crush to drink her piss out of a beaker is WAY more entertaining, and not creepy or weird in the slightest.

The Plot:
By far, Ueno-San has the BEST plot in anime history. Code Geass? Amature hour is over, Sunrise! You ain't got NOTHING on Lesprit's holy creation: Ueno-san! Need an example? Here's one:
The first episode, when Ueno creates an AMAZING work of technology, that, when applied, makes the user's skirt form some sort of intergalactic portal shit to keep other SECOND GRADE boys from looking up the girl's skirts. So what's the best way to test this masterful piece of technology? By letting your good friend (and crush), Tanaka, see up your skirt. But wait, there's no risk involved, considering the Intergalactic Portal Shit® will cover up her entire lower half. Let's make one! Hmm, let's see here. I've got it! Don't wear underwear! Brilliant! She's a SECOND GRADER, so it's definetly okay. This show keeps getting better and better with every waking second you watch it. And I know you're probably thinking something along the lines of: "But aren't they SECOND GRADERS? That seems a like it's going a little too far." And you know what I have to say to that? You're a FOOL. They're just characters, that dont even exist. It is in no way shape or form, uncomfortable. At all. I promise you won't be cringing at every second of this masterpiece.

The development:
Every other anime PALES in comparison to Ueno-san's character and story development. We get to learn SO much about our characters, like when Ueno makes an invention to bring one of her socks to life, and our trusty mc, Tanaka, doesnt want to reverse it to it's normal state. He cared too much about it to see Ueno's sock die, and because of this, we got to see a soft side to our main character. And Ueno-san? Well, we get to learn about ALL the not weird fantasies of her inventions intentions, like how she makes an invention so that Tanaka literally EATS her panties in a not weird way. Trust me, it's not weird. And what other show introduces the main characer's siblings on the final episodes? That's right, only Ueno-san does, which is only further proof that this is the greatest show of all time and all other animes are just lowly insects a part of Ueno-god's world.

Overall:
What are you still doing here!? Go! Watch Ueno-san, for it will be the createst thing your eyes will ever feast upon. And if you've already joined the cul- I mean, watched the anime, spread the word! Jesus became popular through fame, and if this show isn't on par with Jesus, then everyone should be an Atheist. So now, my friends, my comrades, my followers, you must go on your journy. For you will one day be in my shoes, spreading the word of our lord and savior. From one weeb to another, Ueno-san is, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest anime to ever be.

20/100
The epitome of a static plotline with bland/boring characters.
[This review will contain Spoilers for the show!]()

[PREMISE]()
Oh boy where do I even start with this. This show. Honestly.

So this show is supposed to be about a young lass who wants her Senpai to notice her feelings for him. The Senpai is thick headed though so yeah. That's the sort of show we are dealing with right here.

The "story" doesn't progress at all, not even a nanometer. It's just:
- Setup for the skit.
- Repeat the "punchline" until end of scene
Like for example the first episode, it was just "I made device to purify my piss" followed by 6mins of "drink it". I shit you not that was the whole skit.
And even after the skit the whole "relationship" goal Ueno is trying to achieve doesn't move forward, the very next episode just returns to its usual friendship status for all characters. Even the show "Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san" is much better despite having the same premise, in that show we follow Takagi who wants to embarras her crush. We can see and feel that their relationship is getting stronger despite still having the same premise of embarrasing the other party. That is not the case with Ueno, she starts something and when Tanaka does something "romantic" or "close" back she RUNS aways resetting the whole thing

[CHARACTERS:]()
Ueno has the most bland characters I have ever seen, none of them are memorable. Especially Tanaka.

Tanaka is so bland and characterless. He is just there, you could honestly swap him with a body-pillow and the outcome would still be the same.

Ueno does possess some character but all it really is is just screaming 24/7.

Yamashita is super silent and always ready to report Tanaka for sexual harrasment. When she gets angry she gets angry. I think she is the one character I didn't really mind out of the whole show.

The other characters appear like once in the episode for a gag and never return so there really is nothing much to say about those.

[ART/ANIMATION:]()
The art style is not bad, it fits the Short Series aspect quite well.
The animation on the other hand is not my thing. When their limbs were on the screen it felt off, as if their limbs weren't attached to their bodies at all. I also noticed in a few episodes the lips being way out of sync or just not matching what the characters were saying at all. But thats just a minor thing I suppose.

[MUSIC:]()
The OP is not bad, quite catchy as an OP should be.
The ED is easily forgettable, epecially that it changes like every other episode.

[OVERALL OPINION:]()
Ueno is quite the generic concept with poor execusion.
The characters are so uninteresting that we can't really root for them since we don't care.
The plot is basically static which defeats the whole purpose of these skits.
