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…

🕑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.

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!

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…

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…

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.

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…

If you want a masterpiece or a life changing experience this is not for you, but if you want a sweet and hilarious romantic comedy to lighten up your mood I definitely recommend Ao-chan Can’t study. I used to be one of those people who had prejudice over 12 minutes anime, Ao-chan is a perfect example on why that’s completely fine in some cases, so fine in fact that you don’t feel it’s a 12 minutes anime, it’s not rushed at all, and actually perfectly adapts over half of the original manga.
This is one of the few anime I’ve watched that made me cry from laughing, it’s HILARIOUS, the mangaka and director’s comedic timing is off the charts. The art and soundtrack are fairly good and fits the genre, the opening and ending are delightful, a lot better than many mainstream romcoms. I really do…

OK so this anime was not what I expected at all! I'll be honest I'm really into harems/ecchi/hentai and that's what I thought this anime was gonna be like but it's not! Instead I was very pleasantly surprised when I came across a rom com. (pleasantly surprised-- I liked it!)
This story follows a high school girl with big dreams of getting into a fancy college... so she can get away from her dad who writes erotica and is always embarrassing her. He tries really hard to give her "training guides" and tips on how to have sex. But she just wants to focus on her school.
The MC is a classic tsundere so if you hate that trope then run far away from this anime. Also I have to say the dad is my favorite character because he's so funny and very poorly drawn in the most adorable way.
Have a good…

I really think some of the negative reviews on this anime are a bit unfair or they looked at this a bit too seriously and judged it WAY too early. So I decided to make this my first review in hopes I can persuade a couple of people to give this anime a shot.
I would call this anime a coming of age story where the MC, an adorable, naiive girl, tries to discover what the difference between love and sexuality is as her feelings of the two often mixes when a boy is thrown into her life. This show does a fantastic job of jumping back and forth between the two emotions. It is witty, entertaining, and sometimes head ache inducing since the characters can be quite dense. But in this story, the denseness actually makes sense vs a cheap gag that is always thrown in other Rom-coms that I have seen.…

Aaa I want to write about a short review here~ ♥
Firstly, This anime is very relatable! It's about a girl who thinks that guys are nothing but ecchi~ And only love ecchi things~
As a result, When she finds someone getting closer to her, She thinks that's all he wants and is on his mind..
She believes because of this, She needs to be ecchi too.
But what she doesn't realise is that's not what she truly wants, It's all she knows. This guy being pure and kind, Kinda teaches her what love really is~ And she gets to know what she really wants, That is love ♥
It's a journey of a girl discovering love, And, In this world where ecchi things are more and more frequent, and such a thing has become so casual, I don't blame her for thinking like this.. I surely did, too!
She gets to slowly slowl…

I do like the art of this one, and the plot is quite clear-cut, but the way it is done was not ideal.
Sure there's comedy and all throughout the series, but sometimes it feels like you got to slog your way through watching it. The character of the main girl is horrible. She goes through such unrealistic thought processes and behaves so awkardly. It just goes on and on and constantly reminds you how ridiculously cliche it is, it gets hard to gloss over it and find it amusing. It just gets frustrating seeing it go on and never really progress. Like who is she kidding? She thinks dirty thoughts, so everyone else must think the same way too? If she's the only one thinking that way, how dare the other person lead her on.
Simply an insufferable female character who thinks guys are lechers and…

I'm gonna write a review as human as possible. I won't make any arguments.
Story 9/10: The story is quite attractive. I promise you all ecchi fan. This is going to be fun. But, sorry there is no extreme fanservice there. It's all about one natural born hentai dere girl who meets the kindest boy ever. I can't say he is a man because he is too stupid to become a man. You'll know what I mean.
Art 7/10: Seven is my average score. Nothing problem.
Sound 9/10: OP and ED was catchy as hell. My most favorited song this season.
Character 8/10: In the most of ecchi anime you may got this kind of cliche; "lucky bastard boy MC", "fake-innocent boy MC", or "real pervert boy MC" who will always get paired with one or more beautiful innocent/deredere/mature/thot girl. What people usually say to them…

Ao-chan Can't Study! is a romcom about a girl who just wants to study in peace without her erotica author father and classmates getting in the way. One of her classmates confesses his love to her and they spend 12 episodes getting into silly situations.
The comedy revolves around Ao misunderstanding situations (due to being a virgin with excessive knowledge of erotica) and Kijima trying his best to figure out what she's thinking as they blunder their way through their first love. Some of the comedy tends to be predictable but otherwise I think it was done quite well.
This series has short 10 minute episodes so it's easy to binge watch it in one sitting. I think the anime being relatively short compared to other romcoms is a good thing. If this had been full length, they wouldn't have had…

With a novel that advances and regresses many times, Midara in Ao-chan is a good anime. Midara is a 12-minute anime (and there was a good portion of this kind this season) that tells the story of Ao, a hard-working, intelligent, and quite different girl. Ao's father (the best character) is an author of erotic tales, so as a result it ended up affecting Ao in various ways, one of which was to have a rather fertile imagination, but until the arrival of the character Kijima, his romantic pair , she had never had an affectionate interaction with the opposite sex, which generated several amusing scenes. Well, Kijima is not an example of a character, he is slow, half-assed, but hopelessly in love with Ao, the problem here is his lack of attitude, causing Ao to create expectations that will not b…

Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai started like a BANG for me but finished airing on a very different atmosphere.
Without summing up the plot, let's just say it presents a kind of forbidden love story between 2 teenagers. It was honestly closer to real situations than I expected so it is fair to claim that the fiction caught up reality.
I absolutely need to cover one major point : the first episode clearly features a kind of ecchi show, which makes you think that the whole anime will be some sort of cute & perverted comedy with a background of love story. It won't... unfortunately the love story takes the role of major element while the sexual/pervert thema gets relegated to the very secondary elements. So basically if you wanted to watch it for all the sexual allusions or the perv…

Imagine a teenage girl so traumatized by her perverted father that she develops a phobia of males. This girl is brave enough to transform that fear into a positive motivation - to attend an elite college and obtain an independent career where she can support herself in the absence of family.
But Ao-chan is not allowed to have that level of agency. Her ambition is instead made secondary to a forced, awkward, unnatural relationship with a popular teenager of unreal pureness who is a continual source of anxiety. This is to the detriment of her studies that are sacrificed at the altar of fickle teenage romance. The more she participates in romance, the lower her ambition to establish independence becomes.
It is problematic that this anime presents Ao as a character who must change herself…

What is love? I think it's a complicated thing, how can someone not be complacent because of that. Some people have experienced this and teenagers are in this complicated situation.
Is the Japanese anime industry in a crisis? To be honest, I also don't know about this but there are several factors that can prove the truth of that opinion. If from my point of view most Japanese anime has a theme that is so simple. What I mean here is why don't they make a masterpiece with a story full of drama? Forget about that, now the anime world mostly has a romance comedy theme because the two themes are popular with various groups. One of them is "Midara na Ao Chan Benkyou ga Dekinai" Having an honest comedy romance theme, this anime is perfect, but there are several factors that make this anime even…

In any typical human non-perverted mind that is constantly filled with Ecchi goodness, I can say that this short is a safe bet between the lines of the "Benkyou ga Dekinai" (or "people can't study") and the rom-com subgenre. Because what you see, an Ecchi WILL ALWAYS be Ecchi, whether subtle or nein.
"Hello, I am Ao Horie, as in...'Show ‘em your A-O-face!'"
Imagine such a parent that would give you SUCH obnoxious names, only to ever silence your future life, in school or be at work. That's our female MC's dear Ero of a dad, likely said the most worrisome dad to ever have, Hanasaki Horie, author of erotic novels (such as Promiscuous Lament, 100 Words of Significance in Bed). And his physical properties (which resemble Inuyasha's Myoga, EVEN similar in terms of pervertedness) give off the…
