Working!!! (2015)
I must stand by and point out that I still think the OP from season 1 is the best of the show and the most memorable. That said this season is the most action-packed one and brings it all together and yet they didn't even finish it since we have a 49 minute or so special that actually will finish the story as a final episode. Regardless it is a real fun ride on this season and you get some real development that has been laid out over a few seasons now. Who knew working part-time at a restaurant could be so fun!
The art has improved as with time and although the first season is somewhat timeless and the second one was a bit of a hurdle to pass this one has done an excellent job.
The OP and ED are great but the season 1 OP still trumps all. Hopefully, it will come back…

[This review includes the special, and my overall enjoyment of the Working!! series]
It is a fitting conclusion to a comedy anime adapted from a 4-koma.
I like that it does not stray far from being a comedy while also accommodating for some development of the story and its characters. The usual banter is still there, and it is still funny for me (Yamada and her antics will never go old). Speaking of characters, Souma and Yamada are really the pillars of plot and comedy of Working!! They have made use of the other characters to progress the story. I really believe that Souma is an esper, and Yamada is Yamada.
I like that one couple progressed in a somewhat realistic and mature manner, while the other on a very yonkoma way with a quest and a very unreal situation.
I like that it has end…

Note: This review covers all 3 season of Working and the final special episode of Working
If you are looking for a show that is calm, full of comedy and cute romance, then this show is definitely for you.
Working is a show that was on my PTW list for a long time and recently I finally decided to watch the entire series, and boy, was it a great journey.
The plot is a rather simple one if I could say; a bunch of people working together in a restaurant and the show covers their daily antics and stories. However, the true beauty of the show lies in how it is able to bring out the humor from all the characters in any way.
The strength of this show lies in its characters. I generally do not like too many characters in a show, because as they say too many cooks spoil the broth. That being said, I…

A comedy of a light humor to spend a pleasant moment, its 3 seasons were undoubtedly very enjoyable, along with its charismatic characters who generated an atmosphere so funny that it was almost impossible to get bored, certainly very good that makes you forget your problems even for 23 minutes.
In the story we are shown how friendships, romances are born and everything that comes with it, basically that was the 3 seasons, and perhaps both the plot and the characters are not deep, they have their own personality, which gives life to the series and I appreciate that it was done that way.

OH, MY GOODNESS, THIS SEASON WAS SO GOOD-- WHY COULDN'T THE REST OF THE SERIES BE LIKE THIS?? NOW I'M LEFT WANTING MORE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T GET GREAT UNTIL NOW! Seriously, though, this was everything I wanted out of this anime. Let me try and explain through my excitement.
The story, okay? There... was one. I don't know how else to tell you, but there was an actual story with this season. No segmented episodes, no pointless plot lines, no lack of character development. Like... there was story to tell throughout this season that I just loved. I was also hoping that I'd finally get to see some serious things happening that weren't undermined by the constant humor, and guess what? I GOT IT. Guys, I'm so happy. Thankfully, this season did actually bring up some serious topics, which were handl…

So this is my review for Working!!, Working'!!, and Working!!! (the 3 seasons)
There are very few animes out there that really make me sad to see it end. Working!! I can tell, will be nostalgic down the road in the future to me, It's really that good! I've seen WWW.Working and I REALLY liked that. If you're a fan of comedy shows like The Office and such, you'll have no problem getting into Working!!. If you haven't seen the spinoff series, watch it, it's pretty good.
Let's start with the story;
The story, like WWW.Working, is a template. It's a simple concept, with plot stuffed in between, but that doesn't mean it's bad at all! The story is simple, funny and enjoyable. It's really fun to watch if you don't like plot heavy animes.
The Art;
There's not much to say about the art... A-1 alw…

And thus, the show of a restaurant full of oddballs (and one normal person) comes to an end.
...Is what I'd be saying, but there's a 14th episode.
Story: Wagnaria's third season was more of plot developing and tying up loose ends. I felt as if pacing was done right, being the first season where things really started to change. The first and second seasons did their jobs well, but when it came to plot progression, it was much slower with less actual plot. That all left me wanting to watch the next episode until I got to this season, which ended up doing everything I hoped it would. The last episode wrapped everything up well, ending where the manga did. Since that episode is an entire entry in itself, I'll review it there.
Art: With a 4 year gap from the second season, the art has been…

Overall:
From the simple comedy that was season 1 to the plot focused season 3, Working!! has oddly a good metaphor of growing up. Reminds me of those carefree days no so long ago. Yet it remains it's lighthearted charm.
The show has come a long way from when it started, and not in a bad way. There is considerably more plot in season 3, a slice of life anime where things actually happen. Unlike season 2 which teased you with development and didn't go anywhere, this season has real development. The amount of laughs and gags for the sake of it has gone down, but this is a good thing as repeating the same old gags would have gotten old.
If you enjoyed the series or the genre, this season is probably the high point with every episode being memorable and enjoyable. However, season 3 is defini…

Something about this show is obviously working, as after two previous seasons of Working! I find myself working on a review for the third installment. It's been a fair amount of time since I've watched the second season (goodness... three years or so?) so there's a lot to pull out of the cobwebs. While I'm sure some of the minor characters are lost to me, it doesn't really matter. This third installment focuses on the actual important relationships; I'm talking Takanashi and Inami, Satou and Todoroki, and the Yamadas. If you've been waiting (or had forgotten that you were waiting) for further character development, this show has it in spades. Moreover, it adds a good kick of light romance to spice up the spotless, comedic slice-of-life. Though a light skimming of the second season might be…

What makes a great story? At least for me, a huge part of it is character development. Seeing imperfect characters and watching them mature, grow, overcome obstacles both within and without, and becoming stronger, wiser and kinder as a result. While you might not expect this kind of spiel to come out for a wacky comedy slice of life show, Working!!! is quite the special snowflake: a charming blend of lovable characters, hilarious interactions and an incredibly satisfying resolution.
For those unaware: Working! is a comedy slice of life that revolves around a group of mostly part-time workers at a family restaurant. As expected, the cast is a diverse range of characters, each with their own personalities and peculiarities - many of which are zany and wacky. However, it would be a mistake…

after almost three years of waiting, finally there comes the third season of the unique and heart warming slice of life comedy show. and this time it comes bringing with it a conclusion to the story.
that is to say in other words this is the last season of the anime "working!!!". after all it already adapted the whole manga leaving nothing else to mention. it feels kinda sad doesn't it.
well then, in short, the story is the same as usual. the regular cast of main characters spending their time working in wagnaria. if you already watched the former two season (wich you should have if you're reading this) then there is nothing really worth mentioning as a difference or change.
the only aspect that didn't exist in both first ans second season is the fact of problemes/difficulties settling. y…

~ Working III ~
[opening]
This is really cheerful and light and watching it was really fun. So far it's the 3rd season, so the requirement should be: season 1 and 2 was watched. So the if you know the 1st and 2nd season...you'll be surprised in the 3rd season...since the typical cliched that was formed from both season was gone...the deconstructed everything and they made this season "Romantic"
[how it was done 7/10]
So far it has good art, for they stayed to the original style of it, and definitely better than the manga, they were able to present the characters in the proper way and was able to combine it with great expression and mood. Background and the minor subject were made very well. In terms of sound, the Voice Actress/Actor was able to portray it very well, but for the BGM, it wa…

The third season of Working is really, really good. Truth be told, I dont expect a lot from my slice of life anime...At most, I'd expect maybe some vague signs that the show's couples would hook up and an open ending.
So when we see our beloved Inami-san not strike a man once in the first few episodes, we shouldn't be surprised; indeed, the writers of season 3 are the ones throwing the punches as opposed to our beloved heroine.
Story:
Things happen. No, seriously. In a slice of life comedy where status quo is pro, seeing plot development is awesome. Plot elements like Yamada's family, Otoo's wife, the myriad romances, Takanashi's family, etc. all come to a head and seem fitted for a conclusion. While still full of ridiculous antics (like Taneshima pretending she is a Magical Girl fighti…

*Review for all the Seasons of Working!!!
let's start at saying Wow!.
Working!!, Working'!! and Working!!! are anime that based of Real-Life Comedy.
With decent Character Development, and thats why it gets the Comedy going, the Decent Character Development makes it easier to understand and enjoy the Comedy in this anime, but they did a really good job at balancing between Comedy and Character Development.
Season 1 (Working!!) focuses on character introduction and Comedy introduction, where they tells us each character story.
Souta has some kind of Adoring feeling to little things (including Water flea XD)
Inami has a Phobia that makes her punch a man just by getting close to her.
Taneshima is a High Schooler that lacks Height (she's so cute :3 )
Souma is a mysterious person that always…

The 3rd season of Working!!! offers a lot of what fans of the series have been waiting for - closure. However, one glaring knot is yet left to be tied, and the overall score of this season would have been impacted greatly if not for the one-hour finale that you should watch right after you see this season called "Working!!! Lord of the Takanashi".
STORY - 7
Working!!! takes its time going through all our friends at Wagnaria and resolves a lot of questions fans have been dying to know and pairings they've been dying to see. The pacing is odd at times, and Yamada gets the lion's share of screen time in this season. Despite that, it manages to get the job done without being too wasteful or repetitive. And while fans may welcome more animated Working! material, one can't help but wonder if ev…

Story: 7/10 Good old Wagnaria. I've been following this series since the first season began airing. Its truly been a pleasure watching these characters on screen. The story is a simple yet enjoyable slice of life. However, the third season had much more substance compared to its preceding seasons.
One downside to Wagnaria, is that its jokes follow the same repetitive formula. I wouldn't recommend marathoning all three seasons because of this. Thankfully this issue wasn't as severe in this season since as i mentioned, it focuses on multiple plots throughout the series.
The biggest disappointment for me was the last episode. The pacing was strange and it ended up feeling forced and rushed. For a series like this, I was really looking forward to a warm-hearted ending with closure. They set…

The adventures of Souta Takanashi, Mahiru Inami, Popura Taneshima, Jun Satou, Hiroomi Souma, Yachiyo Todoroki, Kyouko Shirafuji, and Aoi Yamada continue in the third installment of Working!!. This final season ties up the loose ends of the previous seasons. (Mostly.)
It's been a long journey with this group of weirdos. Not as long for me, since I marathoned both seasons a couple weeks before the third season began, but for many, it's been five years. The danger of having THREE seasons of a comedy anime is kind of expected: the jokes start getting old and the humor becomes unfunny. I think that was Working!!!'s biggest issue. I could always tell when a punchline was coming, and many times I could actually predict what the punchline would be. Popura is the normal source of punchlines, but…

Ok, so the 3rd season has jaz ended,so no more BS and I'm jaz gonna go straight to the point as to my views about this anime.
Story:
The story is a mediocre, since it still rely on the usual setting and characters, but even so it has presented a couple of development which is necessary in all sequel of anime whom were going for a 3rd sequel. So in general this 3rd sequel is good and doesn't rely on the usual gags and jokes, so..........
My verdict: a Good 7.
Art: So far nothing has charge when it comes to the character designed there was still that moe thing that is an ever present in all anime and manga and as usual there was still someone who is the quintessential Zettai Riyoki in Yamada Aoi, so........
I'm giving this category a Mediocre 5.
Sound:
Well, nothing has change when…

When a show gets multiple seasons, it's usually due to the fact that either the show is popular enough to receive a second or third installment, or the production company just simply has the resources to make it happen. So, with the working series coming out in its 3rd season since 2010, what happens here?
Story: Do I really need to bother with story? Because in all honesty, the story of this season is basically the same as it's always been. Like the previous two alliterations, Working!!! (now with 3 exclamation marks) follows the story of the entire staff at a place called Wagnaria as they all work and involved with each of their co-workers lives while getting closer as a group of workers. Simple story, simple concept, somewhat overdone.
Because it follows the general slice-of-life stor…
