Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!

Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!

Introduction

At the start of her freshman year in college, Hana Uzaki reunites with Shinichi Sakurai, an upperclassman who was in the same club as her during her high school days. However, much to her surprise, the once active senior has ended up becoming a "lonesome" student, preferring to spend his free time in quiet peace. Uzaki does whatever she can to keep Sakurai from being "alone," from convincing him to go to the movies to going to his part-time workplace. While Sakurai finds her irritating and tiresome, he still goes along with Uzaki's hijinks and shenanigans, even if he knows that her perky personality will only lead the two of them into various comical situations. Even so, as the days pass by, their relationship only gets better, to the point where people around them misinterpret them to be a couple. At any rate, whenever Uzaki wants to hang out with her upperclassman, fun and adorable wackiness is sure to follow! [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Animation: 6/10 Character Design: 5/10 Main Story: 6/10 Supporting Character Development: 5/10 Protagonist Development: 7/10 Soundtrack: 5/10 Final Score: 6/10 The story follows the relationship between the introverted Sakurai Shinichi and the extroverted and lively Uzaki Hana, who insists on spending time with him and making his college life more "fun." The anime's premise is simple: to showcase the dynamic between the two protagonists and the "hilarious" situations that arise from their interactions. Sakurai is a calm and reserved college student, while Uzaki is energetic, teasing, and somewhat intrusive. She constantly annoys Sakurai with her pranks and persistence, but at the same time, it's clear that she cares about him. Comedy was supposed to be one of the anime's strongest aspect…

Where do I even start with this trainwreck? As an introvert myself, I was expecting a relatable and lighthearted anime. But nope, what I got was a cringeworthy show that mocks and belittles introvert personality. The main character, Shinichi, is basically a caricature of every introvert stereotype. And Uzaki-chan? More like Uzaki-chan Wants to Annoy the Crap Out of Me. Her constant nagging and forcing Shinichi to socialize made me want to scream. Newsflash, creators: being an introvert isn't a problem that needs to be 'fixed'! I was really looking forward to a cute and funny anime, but what I got was a shallow and insensitive show that fails to understand the beauty of introversion. It's like the creators thought, "Hey, let's make fun of those quiet people and force them to be more like…

Its another one of those anime where a crazy girl (Uzaki) stalks and harasses a guy (Sakurai) who's just minding his business. But to the guy's credit he's not a pushover and actually fights back. The girl's only redeeming qualities is that she has big boobs. She justs Never Shuts The Fck Up. She is very loud and in his face. And cant take a hint to get lost. And doesnt phrase her sentences properly so that they dont sound like sexual innuendos. And everyone around thinks they're a couple or having sex. Uzaki sees Sakurai as a loser because he's a loner. When in reality there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. He is smart, strong, tall and hardworking. Sakurai's acquaintances are the most nosy people in the world trying to play matchmaker between the two, when nobody asked them to…

This review is not objective, only subjective! I love this girl! Everyone should! Uzaki may be annoying, but only if you can't see the charming in this! She's such a kind girl. Did you notice she changed her attitude for Sakurai-senpai? You probably have not, you haven't given her a chance, shame on you! She may not know, she has a crush on him at this point, but she does her best to cheer him up and get him out of his comfort zone. You could say, Uzaki is just for connoisseurs. For people, especially men, who looking for a buddy-like girl, who's not just to your girlfriend, but also your best friend in life. Hana has her physical advantages, but never use it to tease or convince you to do something for her. She has her ways to tease you. She's just adorable and that's what makes her spec…

Uzaki-chan feels like another carbon copy attempt of a SoL RomCom where our leads have opposite personalities. Nowadays, it feels like these types of romance anime are mass produced. My issue with Uzaki-Chan is that it feels so uninspired and brings nothing new to the table. The show reminds me of the romance version of Demon Slayer where the idea's and plot developments are all reused and recycled. However, Demon Slayer made the best possible version of the reused material with everything else being dialed up to an 11. Uzaki-chan did not dial anything to an 11. If you have watched shows like Nagatoro (maybe not S1 but S2), Sono bisque, and Komi, you've essentially already passively watched Uzaki-chan. There is nothing novel that this show will provide to you. If you haven't watched The…

I am not going to lie, I came into watching Uzaki-chan with little to no expectations. In fact, if anything I was hoping it would fill the occasional craving I get for viewing a “bad” anime, where the show’s poor story, bad characters, and laughable animation create a surreal cocktail of unintentional humor, and with Uzaki-chan’s main selling point seemingly being that its a troll comedy series with the main gimmick being Uzaki’s outlandish proportions you can’t really blame me for having such low expectations. However, in the end, Uzaki-chan surprised me by exciding my expectations and instead of being a much more mediocre experience residing in the cesspool of countless other anime rom-coms that caused me to neither regret my viewing experience, nor compel me to every rewatch or even lin…

There isn't much of a story besides it's own episode story line that changes with each episode. While the only main story there was, was the work place and apartment, those is what you see in the story a lot. The visuals were not bad. The series was funny at times but after a while I just sick of Uzaki, while I do agree she is cute and short with big boobas but the fact that she kept annoying Saki and never really learns what she does annoys him just pisses me off and Saki isn't any better, how does he not just ignore her and never talk to her again and when he manages to do so all of a sudden he feels guilty and has to make Uzaki feel better again only to instantly regret it when it works only to fall for the bs she bulls once again... he also never learns cause saki does it more than…

I completely agree with Adol Zeppeli's review of this piece of upsetting garbage. Adol's well-written and thoughtout commentary is spot on. Although I enjoy the slice of life genre, this story has no redeeming qualties. The mc , Hazaki, is the most annoying character ever! Its unknown why she thinks verbally assualting another person is a likeable trait. The glimpse of her high school life doesn't reflect her current personality. Kick this girl to the curb. She is mean and has little respect for Sakurai. Going as far as getting a job at the same cafe just to get Sakurai worked up. This is not romance, its harassment!! Get a restraining order on this chick. For me if the story doesn't work, the addition of T&A isn't going to change my mind. A bad story is a bad story.

Uzaki-chan wants to hang out because she’s an irritating bitch who has no social graces. She doesn’t care if you want to be alone and live your life how you want to live it. No. If you aren’t living how she thinks you should be then she’s going to annoy and pester you until you submit. Some people may like that. I do not. My two biggest complaints about this anime are Uzaki herself, and that stupid ugly-ass cat. Uzaki is just plan annoying and despisable. She is rude, loud, obnoxious, selfish, and irritating to a level that I’ve rarely seen. The anime tries to paint what she is doing as a way to help Sakurai but it becomes clear that she’s just a pest. She eats all the food Sakurai pays for, she never pays for anything herself, she forces Sakurai to spend time with her, she laughs at Saku…

If you enjoy this anime, that's fine. I didn't have to make an effort to stay awake or remain in my seat while watching it. I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm not saying you shouldn't watch it, because the best way to see whether you like it or not is to watch it yourself. Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! What can I say? It seemed like just another run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, leaning more toward comedy than anything else, with nothing but double entendres and minimal fanservice. It doesn't even show breasts. All that fuss for nothing. If I want fanservice, I'll watch another anime like Tsugumomo, Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!?, To LOVE-Ru, Strike the Blood, Fuuka, or the classics The Ping-Pong Club and Seikon no Qwaser. Story: The story is full of clichés, which, if I mention them, would be major s…

Watching this show on a weekly basis was awful. I watched it out of obligation to myself as I don't like leaving shorter shows unfinished as well as the feeling that if I don't watch a show I dislike to completion then I didn't give it a full chance so shouldn't dismiss it. Yet I still watched it on a weekly basis. Now why did I dislike it. The reason is that overall it was just bad. The quality of the look of the show was cheap looking and lacking in any colour. The characters I found to be bland or annoying, particularly Uzaki herself being unbelievably loathsome with the only enjoyable part of her being her tits and nothing else. The story went nowhere which was not really necessary for a slice of life show but I feel like there was the aim of making this partly a romance but no progre…

"Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!" is one of the most offensive anime I have seen. And by that I don't mean offensive jokes, or gore, or something like that. What I mean is that the show has no respect for its audience. It knows the bare minimum required for its target audience to eat it up, so it does that, and nothing else. There was next to no effort put into this show. Let's get the Twitter drama out of the way. I do not like Uzaki's design. Not because it's "problematic", but because I just hate characters with massive boobs. But that's just personal preference. The first thing you might try to say to me is "It's a slice of life comedy! It doesn't have to have deep, complex characters or a riveting plot. It just has to be funny!" And I don't disagree with you. However, the comedy in th…

SUGOI DEKAI Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! does exactly what is says on the tin and all the comedic hijinks it goes along with it. Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! or Uzaki wants to Hang Out is about Sakurai Shinichi voiced by Kenji Akabane who just wants to have the loner life in university but Uzaki Hana voiced by Naomi Oozora however thinks otherwise and gets Sakurai to be less of a loner and stoic type and more outgoing and thus starts a brilliant yet funny relationship between the two with many a smug smiles, innuendos and teasing to go around. The basic premise is nothing but that, Uzaki getting Sakurai to go out and "have fun" but it's how Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! executes this and goes ALL THE WAY with it is what makes this anime VERY good. Before LA begins LA KNOWS this anime has some unwarran…

TLDR: Pretty awful show with no character chemistry or plot progression, even for a lighthearted rom-com. Go watch it only if you wanna check out whatever Twitter's screaming about. Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Or Uzaki Wants to Hang Out is one of those shows that gets carried by its main character, or in these types of anime, main girl. Shows like Himouto Umaru-Chan or WataMote revolve around their main girl, in this case Umaru and Tomoko respectively, so if you can’t stand the main character or can’t take her seriously, you probably won’t like the show. And judging by my score, you can probably tell that I didn’t like Uzaki, the main carry for this show, as a character. Let’s see how this anime breaks down. Story: (2/10) Even for a slice of life anime which is usually defined by no action…

[TLDR at the bottom] Look at the poster for this anime. You see that thing? That sad excuse of a character design? Those giant fucking eyes with that stupid fucking hair with that obviously pandering skin fang? Those stupidly massive tits that take up half of her body mass? Just one look at this anime version of a skin gremlin is enough to tell you about her entire personality. Just as she looks like a monster, she acts like a monster. Constantly annoying people that are just minding their own business. Constantly trying to grab someone's attention. Constantly laughing in your face at your expense. Constantly trying to make this about herself without giving any care to anyone around her. She isn't just a character. She is the embodiment of all things evil in the world. Well, maybe it's…

When you first see this anime you might think that it’s just the same old anime where the male mc is awkward and a nerd and female mc is popular and a tsundere and they repeat the same jokes and in the end they fall in love with each other, but sorry to disappoint you that’s not the case. Uzaki chan wants to hangout is a masterpiece of slice of life and comedy genre! Episode after episode I craved to have a glimpse of this anime, I Laughed a lot and if this anime doesn’t get a second season... *sad music* MY HEART. WOULD BREAKK. INTO LITTLE PIECES. *sad music* now now let me review the individual components of this show. Story-10/10 In the synopsis the story didn’t seem interesting at all, but when I witnessed this anime eye to eye, it was love in first sight. The jokes, the misunderstand…

This show is getting too much attention for the wrong reasons. Among the people trashing the whole show just because of Uzaki’s design, the people trashing Uzaki’s haters and overpraising the serie just for being contrarians, and the people trashing people who trash Uzaki’s haters… it seems no one cares about investing time to see if the serie is actually good or not. Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai became popular some years ago after being part of a tendency of “female character teases her male classmate” series, alongside others like Takagi-san and Nagatoro. Takagi-san bet on a more innocent approach of this, having the two MCs trying to outsmart each other, with male MC failing miserably each time and making the serie repetitive in the process; Nagatoro went to the other end, making the teas…

I’d like to consider myself an observer rather than an active participant in the pernicious social media discourse that’ll orbit a show like this on principle. People fascinate me, truly, because in the midst of what has been the most challenging and bizarre year in our contemporary human history, we can still find the mental vacancy to compartmentalize all of that bullshit and draw our ire towards the REAL issues...the Tid. Or more specifically, the 2D Tid, you know, like the kind you can’t feel? But I guess to properly enjoy a show like “Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!”, you need A LOT of mental vacancy. I’m not going to pay much heed to any of the facile rhetoric lobbed towards this anime, because quite frankly, I don’t give a shit one way or the other. Unless a show is deliberately trying to r…

Uzaki-Chan is fucking cute! Stop denying the truth, folks. Accept her as your (only) waifu. "Uzaki-chan wants to hang out" is exactly what the title suggests - just a girl who likes to have fun. It is neither deep nor unique. It is wholesome. That my guys is more than enough. I am someone who doesn't demand much from anime because by doing so I could reach a point of disappointment beyond any help, but I was utterly pleased with this and couldn't be happier. Uzaki-chan talks about Uzaki and her senpai Shinichi spending their time together. She is this little girl with dekai tits and her senpai is an associated guy. The two will love each other but never before senpai gets bullied. Although, it's sweet bullying. Something that doesn't hurt but makes you feel better. For Senpai, this is…

I feel very conflicted about this series, more than just the comedic rom-com that all of its genres seemingly is mashed together to create a lookalike Takagi/Nagatoro-san, but with slice-of-life-ish ecchi that is boisteringly over the top baseless and full of cringe. With that said, this review is gonna be SUGOI DEKAI to the max, and I don't freaking care, because love it or hate it, Uzaki-chan TRULY wants to hang out to the extreme, and her "Annoying! Cute! But Annoying!" persona to the manga of the same name that mangaka Take depicts her of, call it NSFW, SJW or other fap tags you'd think of, and that is all fine by me. The girl-teases-boy SoL trolling formula is nothing new, especially if you're VERY inclined into well-known mangaka Souichirou Yamamoto's "Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san" (…
