Anime: Wagamama High Spec 25j2e

Wagamama is a very hard show to review, because there's not much to review- because it's really just a teaser for the VN source. From the anime standpoint, it's a slice of life about four girls that make up the student council. It's a mix of comedy and a bit of ecchi, with the girls randomly undressing and such as apparently the actual male protagonist, one of the heroine's brother no less, never shows up. There's not much to review because each of the twelve episodes is two minutes long, meaning the combined length of all the episodes is equivalent to at most one episode of a full length show. If you're looking for a show with any depth or character development, this is not it. This is just some cutely drawn girls having fun, albeit very briefly.

Animation:
The animation is rather basic with simplistic detailing and limited backgrounds. The coloring is bright and pretty saturated, fitting given the light, playful mood. Though the characters are nicely styled, the show shoots itself in the foot; the VN-styled "stick" figures featured in the post-episode sections are drawn in a vastly superior style to those in the anime. There isn't any action in the show but there is a bit of ecchi as mentioned above. The ecchi is rather light and concentrated in specific episodes.

Sound:
The show only has one rock-based OP/ED that is obviously created specifically for the show. Don't expect anything special for the BGM, as nothing is particularly memorable. There are four primary VAs in this show, other than Mai Gotou (who I haven't heard from in two years) they're all pretty new to me. They do a fair job though there's not a terribly lot of depth for them to bring out in the first place.

Story:
What story? This is essentially an episodic slice of life that just shows the student council girls hanging out in various situations. Some are more humorous or ecchi than others, but in general it's average material at best. There isn't any real tension or central plot line; it's one of those shows where you could randomize the episode order (other than the first and last episode) and still have it feel just as contiguous.

Character:
Again, there's not too much depth to bring out in the characters given that there's only 24 total minutes of run time. In all that, I got that Toa is a bit more of the quiet type than the rest; otherwise, they're all just energetic, youthful girls. There are some nice interactions but no development given that the "protagonist" main male character isn't present.

Value:
Unless you want to play the VN or unless you absolutely have nothing to watch, I'd skip out on this teaser; there's just so much better stuff out there than this.
