By now you’d think being in the same class as Atsushi would mean that he’d come with a guide for parents. What They Say:
Hina has invited Atsushi to her doll festival, but deciding what to wear and meeting Hina’s mom are his biggest problems.
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Atsushi’s problems are definitely pretty bad to deal with when you get down to it and you have to feel bad for Atsumi as she has to put out the various fires as best as she can. And most of the time it’s after the fact so it’s hard for her to be preemptive like she needs to be. So when Atsushi is invited over by his classmate Hina to a doll festival, she can help him at least dress relatively well, especially compared to what he picks out at first. Of course, he’s such a kid that no matter what he wears he’s going to look off as an adult. And with so many others not aware of his problem, and kids not really bringing it up to their parents, it’s always a shock when he ends up meeting them as they just think it’s pervert time. It’s really a surprise that every episode doesn’t end with the cops dragging him off somewhere.
In Summary:
The more I watch this show, the more I continue to really feel bad for Atsushi and his situation, especially since nobody as an adult has stepped up to the plate to help him. I know it’s a short form comedy and all, but it misses some obvious things that should happen and just goes so far over to one side so as to be problematic in getting the humor coming across. This episode just highlights that all the more. While there’s some cuteness when it comes to what Atsumi does and the reactions of the neighbors, the show missed more opportunities by having those at his destination not be aware of his problem and riffing off of that. Unfortunately, once again.
