I loved this anime. If you have watched Daily Lives of High School Boys, you would love this. If you haven't I also recommend that, but currently this is one of my favorites. It is such an amazing anime where I wished I had friends and the humor is also really good. If you like lighthearted, relatable and heartwarming anime, I highly recommend this. It is very funny and I wish that this had a season 2. Definitely going to try buy the manga and would always watch/read this when I feel down. Such a comfort anime. The art style is pretty good and is nice. The characters are likable, and are relatable in many ways (varies from person). The story is like the title and sometimes it's pretty realistic. Except if you ignore the effects. I think it's a show that many people would enjoy. Don't mind…

Just not funny enough for me, as a Japanese speaker who adores quirky humour.
I came across ‘Joshikousei no Mudazukai’ during a search for anime similar to ‘Nichijou’, ‘Asobi Asobase’ and ‘The Daily Lives of Highschool Boys’ - three anime that I’m fond of and think portray the Japanese surreal humour very well and all in all are extremely funny shows. The anime that most people recommended for these three was this anime, ‘Wasteful Days of Highschool Girls’.
Now this may be because I am Japanese, and maybe have a high standard of the Japanese humour that I want to see or if it’s because I understand the humour and language better than perhaps a non-Japanese speaker - but this show just wasn’t that funny to me. I watched it through to the end just because I wanted to give it a chance, but…

This easy-going anime takes you to the daily struggle of Nozomu "Baka" Tanaka, who lives her nickname to the fullest, and her friends. The baseline story is pretty similar to the other slice of life anime that takes highschool girl as the protagonist, but this one has an enjoyable character development pacing and serves you with more relatable events. No cringe, boring, or cliche stuff. Everyday is a peaceful day.
As per for my subjective evaluation, I don't see any downside to this anime. I knew that I am going to complete watching this and be excited waiting to watch the next episodes after finishing one since the first episode. I loved how they brings diversity in many forms even though the plot; Tanaka went into girls-only highschool yet still have strong (as in, exist, not literally)…

I'd technically give this a 7.5
The series is one of many highly underrated godlike comedies. Full of hilarious tropes and references and me myself couldn't help but cackle at this show's many jokes. The show started off with a bang and went into full throttle with its comedy, but as the series progresses it started falling flat as some of that golden comedy began to dissipate along with it.
The series was fun in general but like how the characters get tired of the really obnoxious girl in thee series, I too kinda fell like she ran out of jokes to tell, and the comedy kinda shifted away from what it first appeared to be, a huge meta comedy on anime.
The opening song also fell flat for me, it was just, really annoying.
I know that we were supposed to focus more on the three main charact…

Okay, so after a long and stressed week you just want to relax on your weekend in your house. Then watch this anime. Made out of pure comedy this anime can relief all your tension . You can see cute girls doing cute things or pointless things in many pointful ways. No story, no pain in the ass character only comedy and relaxation.I was actually a fan of comedy or spice of life type relaxing animes, so it was a treasure for me. They also visualizes great example of friendship here. If we talk about opening and ending songs, those are also great.

Man, this was HILARIOUS. Some moments had me in actual tears, it was so funny. You know you've done a great job when the viewer has a feeling of sadness at the end of the show, because they are going to miss the cast. And that's exactly how Joshikousei no Mudazukai made me feel when it ended. I am really going to miss these girls if they don't come out with a season 2.
If you enjoyed anime like Nichijou, Setokai Yakuindomo or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, you more than likely will really enjoy this anime. As the title suggests, it just follows the random happenings of high school girls. The trio of stars here are the aspiring BL Mangaka, Wota (Akane), The stoic and almost android like Robo (Shiori), and the mentally retarded goofball, Tanaka (Baka). These three have some of the best comedic…

A surprisingly fun to watch anime
Filling in part the emptiness that left Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Joshikousei no Mudazukai (Wasteful Days of High School Girl) comes to present a slice of life comedy about a group of peculiar friends and how they spend their daily lives doing ridiculous stuff.
One day, out of boredom, Tanaka decided to give her classmates a nickname based on their peculiarities. Her friend Sakuchi became "Ota" given her otaku interests, and her other friend Saginomiya became "Robo” due to her inexpressive personality. In retaliation, her friends decided to nickname her "Baka" for her notorious idiocy. From this event will begin this ridiculous story of three friends and their classmates who claim (but do not prove) to live up to the maturity of youth.
Being one of…

Near the end of every year I always end up picking up a show at the very last minute that I have somehow missed from the previous seasons for one reason or another. On a whim after listening to the immensely catchy OP, I decided to pick this up. And by doing so I narrowly avoided missing one of the best comedies of the year.
From the moment I saw that the OP credits were diegetic I knew I was in for something special. Indeed, everything from the direction, editing, comedic timing, jokes, everything was somehow executed to a mirror polish. Having each episode rotate the spotlight between the various characters also did wonders in letting each and every character shine, not just by themselves, but with other characters, creating several character dynamics and chemistry that very few other…

Sometimes, you don't need to do anything fancy. Just make everything well, and you can turn up something amazing in its own right.
Joshikousei doesn't do anything crazy, but everything is well made. Dialogue, characters, art and sound are all pretty good. I was actually pretty surprised at the soundtrack--nothing crazy amazing, but certainly for a comedy anime, top quality. OP and ED are also enjoyable, and I found Teishoku-P to be pretty good, it was probably the least expected place I thought Volcaloid would be played, honestly.
I'd say that the story arcs and dialogue are well constructed, and carry the anime to great heights. None of them are particularly bad, and the interactions are quite well made and pique your interest, even though the situations are typical slice of life.

Honestly, with this last season of Anime, I have been really impressed. I have found so many shows that are fantastic in their own way, and I'll tell you what this show is no exception, It has so many things going for it.
Honestly, I absolutely love the random humour these types of shows present and the little in-jokes they create and call back on. The characters feel really well written which is amazing since some story heavy shows can't even do that right. if you've seen any of the pictures you already know the character designs are fantastic and they theirs a wide variety of character types which all have their own sense of humour and way of dealing with situations. I would honestly love to give some examples from the show but that would ruin it. one thing I think worth mentioning is t…

7.8 score? Come on guys lets make this anime at least get 8.2 score lol. Im sure many of you longing for a good comedy show like this and its not easy to make an comedy anime thats actually funny that can make you laugh real hard.
I hope there will be more anime like joshikousei in the future, at least one per season, well there are many anime with "cute girls doing cute things" theme every season but this anime is more than that its funny its really entertaining and it has some good slice of life moments. The character and the story are done really nicely, each character have some decent background story and it shows us how deep their friendship is. So i think the story is quite rich and i gotta give a plus point there.
This anime is like in between danshi koukosei and asobi asobase, the…

If you liked Daily Lives of High-school Boys, then Joushikousei I say is right up your alley in terms of comedy and its characters.
The heart of the show is its comedy and the wacky to unique character or trope characters in the show. Even though the show kind of groups the characters in 3's they all somehow have good chemistry with one of another and different gag or bits will have them interacting with each other. You'll definitely will find a favorite character out of the whole class including their homeroom teacher; which i didn't expect to get some character 10/10
The show doesn't really have a story, just small section of character development, it just follow high-school girls and all the crazy and weird stuff that happens with each or and everyone of them. Its random from one epi…

This show is aptly named "The Wasteful Days of High School Girls" because it was indeed a waste of my days watching it. All of the reviews so far are touting this as the best comedy of the year, but I just don't see it. Let's see why:
Story - 3
To be fair, there is no story. It's a collection of day-to-day activities following three girls and their class. In lieu of a story, I rate this based on character development, which I will elaborate on below.
Art - 6
Nothing great, nothing terrible. Sound - 6
Appropriate, but nothing truly memorable.
Character - 3
The major issue with this show is it's characters. All of the characters are boring and one-dimensional, most of whom can be described in 2-3 words. The "main three" are pretty bland and most of their time is spent on Baka's unbear…

Joshikousei no Mudazukai (2019)
This anime by far is the comedy of the year. Kaguya-sama was very close but this show is just hilarious all the way through.
Primarily about three girls and their high school experiences but you also get a good fill of the supporting cast to make it feel like a mass of main characters.
The art of the series is great and is really satisfying to watch. The show does a really good job with attention to detail.
The OP for the series is really good and enjoyable to listen to each time. The ED is also very nice to listen too. Throughout the show, the sound effects are very good and fitting at every turn.
Characters are developed fairly heavily throughout the show. They get good segments to explain personalities in much more detail. It would have been nice…

"Hey, can I say something amazing right now?"
Ah, the adventures of Wota, Robo, and the lovable idiot Baka. This was another anime that surprised me this Summer season. I added it to my Plan to Watch rather late, maybe a week before the first episodes of Summer started, and I'm super glad I did. This anime, had me laughing out loud an awful lot, and it's always a nice change of pace, to have something just goofy every once in a while.
Story: Well, this is a slice of life, following a classroom of an all girls school, when our main hero, Tanaka, decides that everyone needs a nickname in the class. Wota, Robo, Baka, Loli, Yamai, Majime, Majo, and even their professor, "Waseda". The story more or less, doesn't carry over between episodes, and generally is a different adventure for the grou…

Do you like generic slice of life school girls? Do you want a doze of this, but don't want to rewatch something you have already seen? Rejoice, my friend, cause this is exactly what you were looking for!
So about this anime:
-story: as stock as it gets, high school girls living their lives, cracking jokes and being, well, high school girls
-art&sound: it is there, looks ok but nothing stellar
-characters: it is your well established set of every possible trope - you have a stupid girl, a smart girl, a loli, a beauty, a tomboy and so on, and so forth. Those characters don't subvert expectations and act exactly as you expect them to act. I can say that they somewhat have progress in what they are doing, but they don't change a lot.
-enjoyment: while everything above sounds as uninspired as i…

This show is gold
Probably one of the best comedies I've watched so far
Got me laughing at every turn, every episode, every part
It's just that hilarious
It didn't really had a story but the pacing was done pretty well nevertheless
I would recommend this show to literally anyone no matter what. I can't see how you can not enjoy this.
From this season.. It's probably the most underrated show and I'm surely going to miss this.
It gave some hints that there is still material for a second season and while I really hope for it, I'm not so sure because, as mentioned, this was pretty underrated. At least here on mal?

"Hey, can I say something amazing?" - Baka
"OH HOLY $H!T, why is this show SOOOO criminally underrated!?" - The minority of people watching this (including yours truly)
This show is comedy gold that we've been seeking since recent times, and as it goes for a stupidly, insanely great premise for a school comedy, something along the lines of last Summer's Asobi Asobase, but fusing with the characters from Nichijou and Daily Lives Of High School Boys, girls' edition. At first, I thought it was like some mindless random high school JKs just lamenting their lives in school trying to make their own mark everywhere they go, being friends and strangers, all within the space of their own perceptions that looked like a bad premise. But as we all know, it isn't so as time progresses and seeing the…

Quick short review:
Do you feel like having a fun time and having some good ol' laughs?
Trying to feel that missing piece in your heart that craves an anime similar to "Nichijou" or "Asobi Asobase"?
Well you came to the right place! Joshikousei no Mudazukai is the anime for you!
The story, location, jokes, and even some characters, can't help but constantly remind me of Nichijou/Asobi Asobase, and I like to think of this as a good thing. Others may indeed call this a "Nichijou/Asobi Asobase ripoff" or a "Nichijou/Asobi Asobase wannabe anime", but trust me this isn't the case. Both of them may have a few similarities, but even so, they have there unique features and style of making the jokes pop-off. Ever since Nichijou/Asobi Asobase ended, I have personally been craving for some more…

Hey, can I say something amazing right now?
This anime is, that's what.
Joshikousei no Mudazukai was the one show above all which throughout the season I genuinely didn't understand why it didn't have a higher score on MAL. Me and many of my friends were in agreement that it's probably been the best comedy of the season, and it almost always manages to be entertaining.
By design it's nothing out of the ordinary. Just another high school comedy starring a bunch of girls. However, what truly makes it shine is the character cast and the dynamic between them. Mudazukai is very self-aware and every girl in the show is primarily referred to by some stupid nickname that the main character Tanaka has thought up. Tanaka herself, more commonly known as Baka, is as her name suggests an absolute mo…
