The kind of anime one encounters in the wild. Its entire story is built around the fact that the older sister looks like a grad schooler and the little brother looks old like a young man. Even though the sister is underused the series still manages to be quite fun. The jokes are limited and the usual "Oh that sus man is diddling" but still manages to be intresting. Honestly i was intrigued by it and binged it whole in one sitiing because its episodes are pretty short (3mins). Its not supposed to be a proper anime from what i can tell anyway its more like a thing that runs between adverts.

This is an anime where a little boy Atsushi looks like a grown man. And his 17yr old sister Atsusmi looks like a grade-schooler. So pretty much your typical anime stuff.
And of course you have the lolicon jokes. Atsushi is mistaken for a predator because he hangs out with kids.
Older girls are crushing on him. All the little girls in his class are also crushing on him.
All his classmates just treat him like a normal kid.
Its very similar to Cyclops Shoujo Saipuu an anime about a middle school girl who looks 17.
Both anime also have really short episodes 2 to 3 minutes. The hijinks are pretty funny.

It revolves around Atsushi Miyagawa and his sister Atsumi Miyagawa. Atsushi resembles an adult at 5.9 feet tall, but is actually an elementary school boy. Atsumi looks like a 4.5 foot tall little girl, but she is actually in high school. That more or less is the synopsis, from that the chapters that only last 3 minutes are based. The anime isn't bad but I can't finish enjoying it because the anime only lasts 2 minutes so just like you started it it's over but well it has 3 seasons so I'll keep watching it. The animation is good, the soundtrack is also good and the character design is also curious, it is also because of the plot that it is SO BIZARRE but well that is also good.

Honestly was very disturbing overall. Every single joke is just a pedophile joke in some form or another. The sound and art and animation overall was very mediocre, nothing to write home about. There is no opening song, only an ending song. But the premise is where things fall apart. Almost every episode includes a gag where the young boy who looks older gets mistaken as a child molester and/or arrested. There is also an uncomfortable dynamic with the teacher who is fully aware that he is a young child yet still finds herself attracted to him. All of the misunderstanding plots are deeply disturbing seeing as they revolve around the theme of pedophilia. Made me very uncomfortable, was not heartwarming at all. Only lasted the whole way through out of morbid curiosity.

This is honestly just one big child molestation joke. But seriously, joke repetition is sometimes funny, but they really rely on that one particular joke here way too much. The shtick that he looks like an adult quickly runs its course, and after a few episodes it just becomes stale and a bit disturbing.
Art is mediocre at best and the sound effects are just plain and random, I swear I heard some of them in bad Youtube videos. Also, character voice work is inconsistent and sometimes jarring to listen to. Overall, the only saving grace here is that it is a short anime and you don't have to spend a lot of time to finish it.

Usually, I do not watch these 3-4 minute shows, but this one caught my eye. The premise is really interesting; an 11-year-old boy in a huge boy and his elder sister in a rather small body.
We manage to take a small peek into their daily lives and see how different they are from ours. Funilly enough, not too much. The story holds itself pretty well and I rarely feel like the hunk of a man that I'm watching isn't 11 years old. If this was a 24-minute anime it wouldn't nearly be as good or would even work imo
The art and animation is very good. There aren't many still frames and the animation is quite good. Though, I wish they gave Atsushi slightly wider selection of clothes :V
The VA and music are very good as well. The VA's really did a good job portraying the siblings.

Story: Recorder to Randoseru Do is a comic anime about Atsushi and Atsumi Miyagawa and their height differences. Atsushi is an 11-year-old fifth grader that has a body of an adult and a deep voice despite his childlike personality, and Atsumi is a 17-year-old high schooler who is super short and looks like a child despite being mature and responsible. It's a hilarious, slice-of-life comedy with silly, random episodes.
Art: The animation is decent for a short anime. Nothing too exciting but decent.
Sound- It's very cute and cartoony!
Character: I like both the siblings. The elementary kids are alright but not interesting in mu opinion. The only character I love is Sayo because she's quirky and has a funny taste in tall men, especially to Atsushi.
Enjoyment: For a five-minute series, th…

I'm...I'm just so shocked that people are giving this a 10. This definitely doesn't deserve a 10. Everyone's dishing out perfect scores way too easily.
I'm not going to lie, I was intrigued by the concept. At first I thought this series was a romcom or something, but when I realized it was about a brother and sister, I thought I was in for some cute, feel-good anime candy. That's not quite what I got.
Don't get me wrong, there's some likable stuff here. Both Atsuhi and Atsumi are likable characters who act their age, and I've got to give props to Atsuhi's voice actor for being able to perform so well. When the show really wants to try, it'll deliver just what you'd expect. Nothing spectacular, but something kind of cute and quirky if you're into this kind of thing.
But then there are th…

Story: Recorder to Randoseru Do♪ is the first installment of the Recorder to Randoseru series. It follows a young fifth-grade boy named Atsushi Miyagawa. He looks like a full grown man, being 180cm (About 5'10") tall! And then there is his "big" sister, Atsumi Miyagawa, who is 137cm (About 4'5") tall. However, Atsushi acts his true age.
8/10
Art: The art of Recorder to Randoseru Do♪ completely relates to the characters' heights. Since Atsushi looks like an adult, they turned him into a bishounen looking character, who acts his true age. Atsumi looks like a kid, so they turned her into a moe, loli, childish looking character, who acts her true age.

Recorder to Randoseru Do is what you could call a simpleminded, quickwatch anime. With no real storyline, and no real story and character development, it's something you watch simply to enjoy the humor in it. And as a big fan of 4-koma anime, it did the trick for me, short as it was. It still had the necessary humor, misunderstandings and funny characters to make it quite a fun anime to watch inbetween.
The concept is simple, but pretty hilarious. We have an 11-year old boy who looks like an adult, and a 17-year old sister who looks like an elementary schooler. When I read this, I was surprised and intrigued in how they were going to bring out this idea. The answer is simple: Misunderstandings on top of more misunderstandings. The best thing about this is that the characters still act the…

This anime had me laughing and it's a great break from all that heavy arc-filled animes. Sure, my favorite animes are definitely the ones with the best storylines that just make you want more. But, this anime didn't falter in making me want to watch it.
The art is ok, not too shabby. And the sound is fine. The characters are interesting and I like the idea of having an adult-looking kid, even if it was completely bogus.
So, if you're on break or just want to relax, try this anime. Each episode is only about 3 minutes long and you can watch any episode in order. I really enjoyed this.

Recorder is one of the funnyest 3 minute anime i have ever seen.
The concept in itself is original but there is of course some cliche ideas tossed out that anyone could come up with off the top of there head. Yes a big running gag is the older looking brother is around any girl his actual age he ends up being hauled off to the cops but its still funny. Just cause the show has some predictability does not mean it is boring or stale. It is so compact and well paced that it is hard to get too much of it.
The Voice cast is wonderfully cast featuring some of the more popular voice actors of today. The Ending theme is also a sweet little melody i can enjoy as the show wraps up. I did take notice of some unusual sound effects that remind me more of cartoons than anime but i still thought they…

I love this anime
Although Atsushi is only 11 years old he has a hot body. I also love how Take is one of those people who you wont see his face that kinda cracks me up.
Though the one thing is that I wish the episodes were a little bit longer.

I honestly like the concept of an elementary school student who looks like a high school student while his sister looks like an elementary school student. The first few episodes were cute, but then it started becoming cliché. I also don't understand how the adults could be so stupid. They notice Atsushi when he interacts with his young female friend but fail to notice that he takes the same route with him? No one tells anyone that he is a big boy? Despite having interesting art and sound, it fell short towards the end. On the plus side, it is a quick watch. Thus why I am having such a short review this time around.
