Ao-chan Can't Study is simple and a bit predictable.... It's really fun.
The story isn't new. A girl tries to study but gets distracted.. It works because its fast funny and doesn't waste time. The short episodes help.
The art style fits the tone. It's clean, expressive and great for her thoughts. That's where the show shines.
Ao-chan carries the anime. She's dramatic, flawed and relatable, in a way. The male lead is sweet which balances things out.
Her childhood friend though... I don't like her. She's clingy and annoying. Every time she shows up it's much.
The characters react in ways that feel real even if the situations are big.
Overall it's a easy romance comedy. If you like this kind of thing you'll enjoy it. It's not amazing.... It's entertaining.. Sometimes that's enough.

Alright, I have to get this off my chest. I just finished binge-watching "Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai" and I'm honestly shocked that more people aren't obsessed with this. I saw the score on here and was a little hesitant, but I'm SO glad I gave it a shot because it's an absolute riot from start to finish.
The story itself is just perfect for a comedy. You have Ao-chan, who is desperately trying to focus on her studies to get into a good university, but her brain has been completely warped by her erotica-novelist dad. When she develops a crush on the most wholesome guy ever, Kijima, her mind goes into overdrive, turning every single normal interaction into something totally scandalous. It's so funny and just gets more hilarious as she digs herself into deeper and deeper holes…

Started the anime out of curiosity but tbh I liked it yeah it might have a very common story nothing special but it was funny and the echhi part was good enough to enjoy Sad part is there is no sequal not even an OVA or ONA or TV Special, and the manga is too short so ig that would have been the reason for it not getting a sequal and the story ended with no conclusion but, Ao getting " F " grade in all subjects which wasn't an appropriate ending according to me .
But anyways Shows like " Ao-chan Can't Study! " are kinda hidden gems to someone like me Shows which only get 1 season but feels like a desperate need of a sequal even after years of release !

🕑They say the average male thinks about IT a lot. Perhaps 6 out of every 10 seconds? Something like that. In ACS Horie Ao thinks about sex 8 out of every 10 seconds - how to /avoid/ it, that is.
"You wanna bang this out here?" AUGHHH! 😱
Wait, he's just talking about a study session. Whew.
"I don't see what the problem is about grinding it out here." Yeeeks!😬 The more she tenses up over her "worst fears," only to find that she read his innocent actions wrong, the more frustrated she becomes.😤 Frustrated people can't study!
📚Don't tell her she's got the "cool dad". She'd be horrified to hear that some of her classmates are fans. ACS follows the daughter of the neighborhood's House Of Lewd: Ho…

The anime is fun to watch, it has outrageous situations and that typical character who tries to be good but we all know that she is not a saint at all, she has more attitude than the popular guy who turns out to be a complete idiot with no experience whatsoever who lives off of appearances, in short the protagonist is a naughty girl who pretends to be a saint and has a past of bullying because of her father, the story revolves almost entirely around the protagonists and with small appearances from her father, the assistant and a friend but apart from that there is no development of other characters, the anime gives a certain expectation but in the end it does not deliver everything and the little that it does deliver the story drags on to deliver what makes it at a certain point a bit tiri…

"Ao-chan Can't Study!" is very similar to "Ane Log: Big Sister Moyako's Never-ending Monologue"
In that its about a girl who misinterprets everything the male protagonist does as being sexually motivated.
Ao Horie's father is an erotica writer, and a pervert. Ao-chan's name was even inspired by a perverted expression.
Ao-chan wants to distance herself from her father's life style as much as possible. So she overcompensates to the point where she avoids boys entirely.
However this is going to be a bit more difficult now since her classmate Takumi Kijima has confessed to her.
Now every time Kijima tries to talk or interact with her she has these monologues in her head and imagines all the sexually perverted things she's afraid of him doing to her.
I really love this setup. Like Moyako fr…

I'm not gonna lie, I went into Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai expecting some trashy humor and fanservice. But what I got was an anime that's genuinely hilarious, relatable, and even heartfelt at times.
Ao-chan's imagination is basically me in high school - perpetually horny, yet trying to be a good guy. I died laughing every time she'd get caught up in her own naughty thoughts. And Takumi-senpai? He's the man, bro!
But what really surprised me was how invested I got in their relationship. The last few episodes had me shipping them so hard, I was basically screaming at my screen for them to confess already!
Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Some jokes fall flat, and the pacing can be wonky at times. But honestly, the good far outweighs the bad.
The last episode was…

Story: Had a pretty basic romance story to it but I really liked the whole "dad" backstory and how he affected her life in his workspace. Other than that the romance was pretty basic, the only downside being the kiss took until the very last episode which I hate lol.
Art: The animation/art in the show is good, avg for more recent shows. This isn't at demon slayer level but also isn't as low as Seven Deadly Sins lol so it's pretty good ig. Good enough for a romance show at least.
Sound: Oh boy the intro and outro for this show is a BANGER. I listened to every episode's intro and outro it's so good.
Character: You already know I'm gonna be talking about the dad here. WHY IS HE SO SHORT?! Like I never understood it lol it was so hilarious and perfect at the same time for what he does for…

It's a cute and short anime series that's very funny and makes you want to see more. Both female and male characters are likable and sweet. Ao's father is hilarious 😂. Was very confused when I first saw him. Side characters severely underdeveloped but that was fine with me.
Sure, it's not a masterpiece but I think it deserves a higher score. I had 0 expectations when I started watching this anime, in fact I thought I'll drop it after 2-3 episodes but strangely enough I started liking it.
Long story short: If you ran out of good anime and are looking for a funny one with romance, that has a bit of ecchi, you might like it.

Alright the only reason I'm going to extend the review of these horrid thing considered an anime is the fact that MyAnimeList won't let me do a short review so let's break down, shall we.
story was outright trash man, I bet you 100% dragon ball Z has a better plot and most of us weebs by now, know that dragon ball Z is more fighting than story. The art was okay, more colourful in terms of its pallete. Music was eh, not the best but hey I didn't mind the opening. Characters were just, well I honestly don't know, all throughout this so called anime, I couldn't less about any of the characters. Enjoyment, didn't exist whilst watching.
Overall, look do your thing, watch it, get it over and done with.

Ao-chan can't study anime review.
The series is about Ao who wants to get into a good university so she can move away from her father. Her father is an incredibly popular Erotica novelist and has no intention of hiding it anywhere. As such learning at a young age that her name A comes from apple and O comes from Orgy might not be such a great thing.
Now as a highschooler she goes around hiding that whilst also having a cold atmosphere. She becomes a loner type person that gets really high grades. You've watched anime, you know the type. And this popular boy tries to talk to her. So you have this relationship of a quiet girl and a forward boy (who's a virgin).
Now due to her father she basically thinks all men are sex filled creatures and as such is a source of pressure in the relations…

First things first, the OP slaps which is kinda unfortunate since the rest of the show doesn't impress me as much. It's a fine anime overall with a cute premise and decent jokes. It operates in that strange middle ground of light ecchi where they talk about lewd things but isn't too revealing for the most part. The main girl is decent and she has her moments, especially the discussions with her dad being the highlight of my watch. On the flip side the main guy is the generic good guy wholesome character type so he doesn't really add much to the show. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it just gets swept up in the ocean of other very similar comedy anime that have existed since 2010. But since the episodes are half length the time investment isn't too high so it might be good if you…

I don't normally write reviews, but this one felt like it needed one. This anime is interesting in a way that it would well fit into the "ecchi" category for the anime audience, but I felt pretty shocked personally. Imagine a high school girl living with a perverted father that her entire mind is solely on the topic of perverted things. It might seem normal to have such thoughts for a high school girl, but she literally only thinks about dirty things. It's traumatized her to the point that she's going insane. Personally, I don't find that very intriguing and I almost feel overly disgusted by it. I personally had to drag myself through each episode.
If you are looking for romance with a slight twist, this anime may not be satisfying to watch. If you want to know more about an interesting t…

I'm not gonna give a fancy review or anything like that, I just want to say this.
This show was so unbelievably forgettable that it took me all the way to the last episode to realize I had already completely watched the show in the past.
Everything about it is okay? Like it won't offend you and thankfully each episode is only 12 minutes long so it doesn't actually feel like a waste of time, even if it is. The problem being is that it isn't special in any way either.
If you want to watch it, go ahead. It's just another popcorn show, if you need something to kill time and you can't find anything else, at the very least it'll probably not bore you to sleep, you might just lose interest every once in awhile.

This is a slice of life, following the quiet, anti-social Ao Horie who only focuses on studying and having a hatred for men due to their horny nature. Though when a popular and friendly Takumi Kajimi takes a interest in her, her world gets thrown for a loop!
This is a very pure and wholesome anime, apart from the man child of a dad. I really enjoyed this, because as it does have lewd parts, fan service and a overall theme of sex and losing your virginity; there's a wholesomeness that these two have never really experienced love from another.
I had a love, hate relationship with Ao, I can understand how she's grown to hate men, as she's only seen them in a sexual light from her father. But the acts when she would reject Takumi, him being a good guy and accepting it, and then getting ups…

This anime is the first one I have watched in quite a while. I decided to binge the English dub of it this afternoon (since it's so short). The following is a brief review.
Story: 6 - Nothing spectacular here. It's your basic high school rom-com story. It was an overall cute story about a high school girl growing up and realizing her feelings for a boy, even if her past caused her to misconstrue many different things that Kijima said or did. Overall, while not amazing, the story served its purpose.
Art: 8 - I enjoyed the art overall. Ao is a very pretty girl and is presented as such throughout the show. The art also supported some of the ecchi moments that appeared in the show. The environments were nothing special, but the lighting and atmosphere of some scenes made the scene better in…

Ao-chan Can’t Study is the epitome of a romcom in a short series format done right. Even though it's a gag show that hinges almost entirely on slapstick comedy to stitch it's cliched plot threads together, none of its jokes run the risk of sounding repetitive or overplayed. While it is by no means a revolutionary romcom, it might well be the first in the realm of short, fast-paced comedy that doesn’t trade in length for substance.
But what sets Ao-chan apart from the dumpster pile of typical romances? Allow me to demonstrate by using a scene from the series. In one episode, Ao’s father complains about why his daughter has only served him a bowl of plain rice for dinner. Ao dismisses him, and begrudgingly reaches out for a packet of MSG, then sprinkles it over his sad excuse of a meal. Her…

Story 7/10
Simple but fun story Ao Horie has always wanted to escape the influence of her father an erotic author who has on multiple occasions embarrassed her in public with his perverted ways she dedicates herself to study in hope that she could get into a national university and move away from her father.
Her plans receive a major setback when another student Takumi Kijima who she considers a normie confesses to her despite not wanting to get into a relationship or be influenced by her father she soon sees that the influence of her father has had an impact on her mind and that her feelings for Kijima is going to make it very hard to study.
At 12 minutes per episode the show is well placed with some enjoyable and humorous little stories in each episode.
Art 7/10

Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai é um anime que realmente gosto,é uma historia curta e com poucos eps,mas que particulamente recomendo,mesmo querendo que a historia fosse mais longa imagino que talvez se fosse maior estragaria...
A historia tem personagens até que ¨interessantes¨ como a protagonista Horie, Ao que cresceu com um pai pervetido que escreve historias eróticas,e meio que assim desenvolve varios medos,e uma relação ruim com o pai,e ao longo da historia ela transforma esse medo em algo positivo,e assim melhorando sua relação com o pai,e desenvolve sentimentos por Kijima, Takumi que a ajuda com seus medos e aversãos ao desensolar da historia

I really enjoyed this anime!
The story was more entertaining than I originally thought it would be. The way they were able to do a high school romance anime without it having a tonne of cliches was nice. It's very refreshing to watch the genre you enjoy while every story still being different and Ao-chan can't study pulled it off really well!
I'd say there wasn't something big happening in the art. I didn't much CGI being used which is nice to see.
The voice actors and sound effects were normal as well.
I particularly loved the characters.…
