This anime was hilarious!
It's one of the funniest anime I have ever watched. If you want to laugh hard watching some crazy high school girls and other characters do crazy, sometimes vulgar stuff, this anime is for you.
The art style was good and classic. The character design of Chiyo and Manana in particular was perfect. Their personalities were crazy and compliment each other well. Other characters were also well designed. Opening and ending songs were good too.
This anime has each episode with different funny scenarios, no episodes were boring. I didn't even realize when 12 episodes were complete.

This show is pervy as hell, but it's so funny that I was able to look past the deluge of panty shots and instances where the plot verged off into deviant territory. Chio is a great MC - equal parts daring, cowardly, intelligent, stupid, selfish and compassionate. Basically she's a total wreck, and it's a blast to see where her worst instincts will take her from episode to episode. Along for the ride is her BFF Manana, and they form one of the more endearing and refreshing tandems in anime. They're both delightfully self-interested, and frequently put each other in harms way just for the sake of enjoyment, but ultimately they still support other as all good anime friends do. Both VAs do a fantastic job bringing their chemistry to life. Whether they're performing mundane everyday tasks or ge…

Chio’s School Road was legitimately one of the best school life, comedy based anime that I’ve seen in the last year alone. The manga itself also holds its own when it comes to keeping up with the slapstick, zany humor and overall funny moments of what it is like to have a great walk towards school.
Supporting characters really sold on the anime as well, from the former bike gang leader who now acts like a subordinate to Chio after being known as the Bloody Butterfly to playing kabbadi with Madoka who is only using it as an excuse to see inside the skirt of Chio’s friend Yuki. Most of the interactions that Chio has, along with special little side stories that involve Manana, Momo and Chiori also have the blessing of actually not just making the entire anime about her, since it helps fuel t…

Chio's Bizarre Adventure has a chaotic energy only a few other shows I've seen could match. It doesn't follow the conventions of a slice of life school anime at all, for one thing they never even spend time at the school and it's just the walking to and from and doing all their goofing off in between. For another the show is batsh*t insane. It's got tall big tiddy lesbian skipping school and living in the forest so she can learn to grab girl's butts more effectively from an old ex-salaryman/chikkan. It's got the "popular" girl who's actually an exhibitionist, the morals committee chair who wants to trick her teacher into an illicit relationship, the instant meme that was the Mananacchio Dance, and much more.
I love the portrayal of western videogames here, too. It's funny to see them trea…

I've finished this a long time ago so my memory is pretty hazy about the events that happened in this show so my review may not be a good read to measure if you should watch it or not. Regardless, I still want to make a review because I remembered wanting to make one for this back then but just forgot after some time and now it all came back to me so no one can stop me from doing this one now.

I remember it being a slice of life so there's not much to say about the story. I think where it does shine is in the character department because that's slice of life's bread and butter but that, I will talk about later. So back to story, it's a comedy and is about the protagonist adventures in her road to school. Different ideas were presented each episode and the comedies are built upo…

If you looked at the MAL page for this anime, then you probably already figured out exactly what this anime is, but just in case... Chio's School Road is a Comedy/SoL(primarily comedy) anime about Chio's everyday walks to school, and, while that is the most accurate way to describe the anime, that description still really downplays just how hilarious this anime is. Chio is an absurd high-school girl; she's the type of character that says she wants one thing, but all of her actions seem to send her hurtling in the other direction. Primarily, Chio wants to just be a below-average girl who fades into the background. It isn't that she doesn't want social interactions, but she doesn't want the anxiety that can accompany those interactions, and even more so, she wants to avoid any situation wher…

Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro is a fun, simple slice-of-life anime and I had a rather good time watching it. It shares a lot of similarities with Watamote, seeing as both shows are about plain, nerdy girls who are obsessed with video games, have trouble falling asleep, and have acute social anxiety. Though Chio isn't quite as kneecapped socially as she is able to function in most situations, and had a regular cast of friends. Also, this show has a lot more fanservice than Watamote, despite Tomoko having a dirtier mind in her show. Finally, this show doesn't really get into deeper questions about anxiety or self-worth; everything is very surface level in that respect. Regardless, given the similarities that I felt required mentioning, I feel the comparison between the two shows stands on its own.…

I really wish I was giving this a more positive score because I actually really enjoyed this series! The characters were mostly lovely and have fun and creative interactions with each other, and I did really love how they captured the genuinely loving and yet back-stabbing relationship between Manana and Chio. The comedy too was very often successful for me - but the predatory lesbian character just bummed me out completely, and the panty shots are literally all over the place, and the girl with the crush on a teacher who is encouraged to confess her feelings is also a gross situation. I'm also not sure what the age gap is with Andou but I'm gonna guess it's a weird and uncomfortable amount considering Chio is just 15. With all that, it just made a series that was supposed to be lightheart…

Chio-chan is a comedy show, through and through. In terms of other shows, I'd place it close to Asobi Asobase (but less talking/chatting focused and maybe a little less crude) and Hinamatsuri (but with less action and less of a plot). This is still a SOL comedy, but is not designed to be simultaneously moe, like Yuru Yuri, and is more crude and less quirky than Nichijou.
Essentially, the show follows Chio-chan and the funny people she interacts with every day, as well as the ludicrous methods she uses to get out of the strange situations she finds herself in. She usually creates problems for herself in fact: being a gamer, she often either acts in a bizarre way based on imagining herself as a character or coming up with a solution that would only be viable in a videogame - yet surprising…

Honestly didn't know what to expect from this show. The premise is about as mundane as it can get: our main character and her daily commute to school. What the show uses a lot for it's comedy elements is Chio wanting to just skate by on life and just play video games until 5am every day. Having a character wanting to avoid contact from other in the most over the top means thus drawing attention to her crazy antics makes for very easy comedy. While that is the majority for the gags in the there are a few narratives that it builds up keeping the comedy fresh. One of the strongest toolboxes for any comedy is it's supporting cast. The supporting cast in Chio's school road is strong with a good range of recurring characters all with their own gags. Top 5 comedy anime far as I'm concerned.

In case you haven't guessed from the title already, this show is about Chio Mayumi's daily adventures of going to school. Her over-active imagination and hardcore passion for playing games into the early hours of the morning, leads her into some very weird and hilarious situations as she meets various people along the way. Especially when she's with her friend Manana who's always looking for mischievous ways to mess around.
I think that's all I can tell you without spoiling the jokes although each episode she makes two trips. They're not self-contained episodes as you'll see previous events carried over to the rest of the show. It has its own bit of fan service where female assets are given the odd bounce or flashing, groping etc but, it's aimed at the young male adult audience so it's pr…

Have you ever had an anime studio that disliked so much to a point where you absolutely refuse to check out the other works after witnessing some of the shows that they made? Well, I have a big problem with a Studio Diomedéa who up this is point was the studio that I greatly dislike due to them ditching out a truckload of mediocre to awful series that barely had any soul to speak off.
Beatless was the breaking point for this studio as that show was horrendously written that was filled with awful pacing and cringe-inducing production scheduling where every 4-5 episodes that would be pointless recap episodes that barely did anything. That show was so terrible it couldn’t finish it’s 24 episodes run correctly as the final 4 of that shit show had to be done in September…
Because of that I lite…

(This review is spoilerless.)
Overall, Chio-chan is a normal serie for me. It isn't special like other people said. It has some kind of flaws in their jokes and ideas which most of time, make me feel like an idiot if I don't get the jokes or references in the serie which isn't normal thing as many good laugh series in 2018 like Hinamatsuri or Asobi Asobase can give me some laugh even though I don't get everything. 2 out 12 episodes are the best thing that make Chio a good serie for me which are episode 2 and 4. Others than that are kind of bad. First let's us start at the bad point or the point that I don't personally like.
1.) This serie rely on too much references and play jokes around them which most of the time, make some part of the serie feel so cringe, forced and have no creativi…

The story of this anime is really OK, but what makes it so good and fun to watch is not the story. You know, after watched this anime, i start to rethink of what makes an anime, an anime? i'm never think about this before, but after watching this, it makes me think you know? If you haven't think about it before, try it!
The answer for me is, if the anime is memorable enough and you can't even forget about it, it what makes the anime, anime. No matter how bad it is as long you remember how silly or how great it is, it's what makes it great.
So let me tell you what's so good about this anime. The character stay in character, the art is increasing in a good and right way as the show goes. At first you know some character and especially the main character, all of it is actually your typical a…

A school comedy features the main cast of characters spending the runtime in the school and the various antics that go about during that period of time. But what would happen if we instead made a school comedy...about GOING TO SCHOOL?! Genius! And that's what brings us here today.
Story:
Miyamo Chio is self-described as a below average student who doesn't want to stand out. But due to her gamer brain and hilarious tendency to overthink things and perceive them as worse than they are if she acts normally in the moment, her walk to school just becomes a little more unique, usually ending with encounters with biker gangs, parkouring over buildings, or landing facefirst into garbage in order to try and avoid attention.
As a comedy series, Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro is a show that heavily f…

Two socially awkward girls and a track team member walk to school together...
Craziness ensues...
Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro is one of the three comedies LA watched in the Summer of 2018 and by god is it not only unpredictable but funny as hell when many of it's skits lands.
Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro goes along with the philosophy of running gags but building on those running gags for our main protagonist Chio Miyamo voiced by Naomi Oozora for Chio to go into zanier and crazier situations for herself.
Chio is a hardcore gamer and below average student, but she a knack for getting herself in crazy situation as she walks to school be it by herself or with her friends Manana Nonomura voiced by Chiaki Omigawa and Yuki Hosokawa voiced by Kaede Hondo. Chio's solo antics are actually some of the…

As with all comedy shows, one's enjoyment largely depends on the kind of humour the show uses. That's why I will try to explain the kind of jokes you can expect from Chio-chan, so you can decide for yourself whether it may suit your taste!
This anime often uses somewhat "inappropriate" humour. You can expect some rudeness, vulgarity and lewd situations, but it never reaches the levels of "Prison School" or "Detroit Metal City" in that regard. So if those shows were too extreme for you, you might still enjoy Chio-chan since it's tame by comparison. It has a lot of panty shots and some boob jiggles, but they are either used for the sake of comedy or are not too 'in your face'. I also like that this show doesn't rely too much on the "meme face" kind of comedy that's popular nowadays.

In the severely lacking Summer season, we got a host of comedy-centred anime, and Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro (or Chio's School Road) is one of the series that initially doesn't stand out much, yet for all of its comedic shenanigans and whack-a-mole moments does it hold a candle towards its production runtime and the funny yet insane moments that it has to garner more attention.
This is the series of brainchild Tadataka Kawasaki, whom started his mangaka life out of various doujins, and Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro is pretty much a rounded compliation of his doujin works. This explains why if you haven't heard of him before or read a few of his works, the star MC of the show Chio Miyamo, with her weird game analytical vibes and the whole hentai-doujin aspect, made us think that the Chio we know lo…

I’ve never really thought too much about the journey to school during my younger days. It’s just wake up, get ready for the day, and hoping for a wonderful day without trouble. What if I told you if there’s someone named Chio Miamo who makes journeys to school like it’s some impractical adventure? What if every weekday became a misadventure that you can’t even began to imagine?
Watching Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro (Chio's School Road) felt like watching an experimental humor flick where the show tests the limits of its comedy. I’m not going to lie, this show is very self-aware of its intentions and is never shy to express it. High school girl Chio is an avid gamer with an avid imagination. With every episode being impractical and almost surreal-like, I had no doubt that this series would be…
