DESCRIPTION

Tanaka Nozomu isn’t exactly brilliant. But, given that her only goal for high school was to get a boyfriend, who else would fail to realize that attending an all-girls school was a bad idea? Well, there’s always the fallback plan of getting other girls to introduce her to boys they know.

Too bad that Tanaka’s “bright” idea of giving her classmates nicknames based on less attractive character traits has caused her un-flattered friends “Robo” (for her apparent lack of emotions) and “Wota” (a reference to a creepy otaku types), as well as not-friends like “Loli” (who’s hypersensitive about her petite size,) to “reward” Tanaka with the special nickname of “Baka” (“idiot”), which is quickly adopted by the entire student body. Well, maybe the second week of school will be better.

Hey, can I say something amazing right now?
_This review does not contain spoilers_ ___Yo... Mic check...___
These words came to bring a smile on my face week after consecutive week introducing each time episodes that marked the high point of the airing season. Joshikousei no Mudazukai (Joshimuda) is what I would consider to be a bonafide diamond in the rough. What at first glance appears to be yet another mediocre attempt at a playfully random slice-of-life comedy is a show that proves to stand out as uniquely its own with characters and dialogue that leave a lasting impression on the viewer.

Attempting to summarize the plot, or lack thereof here would be a disservice to this show. Certainly there is a valid argument to be made for grounding the characters, setting, and timeline in a plot that serves to bring out the best of a show. Conversely, the slice-of-life genre rejects the necessity of a strong plot by substituting in its place elaborate dialogue and skit-like scenes that accentuate all the best a show has to offer.

With this in mind, what makes Joshimuda stand out among its same genre competition is how it manages to so effectively maintain an interesting dynamic among its characters without its shtick getting old. Where anime such as Dumbbell, Working!!, and Hitoribocchi gradually suffer from repetitive personality traits losing their appeal, Joshimuda is able to build interest with each episode through characters and dialogue that contribute in spite of some repetition.

I have yet to mention a single character or event from this anime, and for good reason. Joshimuda is a 12 episode blitz of insignificant high school girls coming together to share seemingly significant moments. A glance at the official summary of Joshimuda will offer little explanation as well, only going so far as to summarize the anime as: "...the ridiculous days of three high school friends claiming (or not) the height of their youth." Indeed I feel as though this minimal background is adequate in summarizing all that makes it so enjoyable. I assert there is no point in having expectations from a show meant to so quickly and naturally have you experience all that it has to offer. With that, I give Joshimuda a strong recommendation to anyone looking for a show to watch.

Also the OP is straight fire.

This is the daily life of extremely eccentric high school girls, all turned into an extremely good comedy
__Ok You're Baka Then!__ In the past one or two years, it seems that Comedy as its own genre has been getting a whole lot more attention than ever before (At least from my experience, don't take what I'm saying for a cold, hard fact). Comedy in the past few years had been sort of given the cold shoulder. It was that one seasoning you would spread on any kind of meal to make it more tasty, but never was a meal meant to serve that seasoning ever really made. After all, Shounen shines in its action, and slice of life shines in its drama and lessons. Comedy can only be there to add a bit of fun every now and then but that's it.At least that was until Hinamatsuri came around. Hinamatsuri, was, at least in my opinion, the first one in a while to have truly put Comedy as its main focus. Everything was there to make you laugh and other genres were only there to spice up the anime. And with the release of this anime followed more animes similar to this one. Of course I'm talking about Asobi Asobase, Chio's School Road, and now of course, Joshikausei no Muduzakai. And, _oh dear,_ was this latter one a genuine comedy if I've ever seen one. This show was simply the story of a single class at a Girls only High School. You might be wondering "Where does this get fun? How does this differ from your usual, trend of the mill, moe anime?". And see, the thing is, _this is a full on parody of this moe genre_. Every single character in the anime belongs to a stereotype, and the anime is so blatantly obvious about it that it actually names the character after their personality (Idiot type = Baka, Loli type = Loli, Emotionless type = Robo, etc..). But like I said this is a parody, so, konosuba-style, the show just took every single personality and amplified them to the point where they got ridiculous(Baka is way too much of a fucking idiot like it's crazy) and that's the major part of the anime, laughing at this over the top anime girls. But would it only be this, then it wouldn't have been as enjoyable as it was. The thing is just like any american sit-com you've probably watched, this anime's cast has great compatibility with each other. Usually you focus the cast around just a few characters, maybe 3 to 5, that you have finely prepared to be somewhat funny when put together. But this show brings you a whole other level, something I've only seen in the manga Horimiya before. Any combination of the cast works. The base group is Baka, Wota and Robo, but you can easily have a Loli-Baka duo that is just as funny, or a Majo-Robo-Wota, or a Majime-Baka, and all of them are incredibly funny. Of course each of them have their prime partners but they're so amazingly compatible that anything just goes. Along with that, this anime has some really good comedic ideas, where you can sometimes spend a whole episode watching a fantasy without knowing it, or some way over the top "I'm gonna fail my finals" episode. If you're just looking for a pure comedy then this is definitely the anime to go to for now. I'm just gonna add this part real fast to talk about a small point of the anime that I've realized that adds yet another side to the anime. See when I went and saw the characters for the first time, I directly thought "This is absurdly over the top", which is perfectly fine for a comedy anime. But as I was watching more and more of the anime, this thought somehow vanished, not because i was getting used to the characters and story, but because some weird feeling about the anime crept up within me, and that feeling was that the friendship and laughs shared by these extremely parodied girl felt way more "real" than any representation of friendships I've seen in anime. When watching an anime focused on a group of friends such as Kimi to Boku, while the characters are all quirky and such, Joshikausei no Muduzakai made me realize that this cast felt "too" normal. For some reason, mid-way through the anime, the cast of JK felt a whole lot more real than other casts that try to be more realistic. The characters are fully true with themselves, they do stupid stuff, they hang out and try their best to have fun, no matter how ridiculous the situation is, they're constantly laughing really loud, making fun of each other, helping each other out, treating each other poorly despite being friends, making any action taken or word spoken a way to start a joke, and somehow, this whole mess of a list, just reminded me close to perfection how my IRL friendships are. There are no "perfect" friends in real life, you're constantly poking fun at one another, even if it's about something personal. You don't speak of the world seriously or talk deeply about relationships with one another, you instead scream at each other like the morons you are over futile matters only to crack out laughing real hard at one point where you can't keep up being serious about this argument. And, however little or unintentional that little touch added to the anime was, these somewhat real interactions struck me deep and engraved this anime in my mind. I don't really know wether this is because my friends are a bunch of crazy semi-psycho drunkards, but this really felt close to home and added some warmth to the anime, which is why its score is pretty high. __Final Thoughts__ This anime is an amazing comedy, one of the few that has repeatedly made me laugh out loud. Be it its eccentric cast, the goofy setups and episodes, or just the simple school life they're leading, everything in it is to be loved in my opinion, and will therefore be considered a real must watch in my book. Hope this helped, and hope you'll watch this anime
