Anime Review: Denki-Gai

I don't often get to keep up with new anime due to my list being rather long... I did however make an exception to a couple this season, one of those being Denki-Gai. Let's just say that I instantly fell in love with this show. I absolutely loved the humour in it and the various characters in the show. Fu-Girl was my favourite all the way through the series.

The series revolves around a group of coworkers who work for Umanohone bookstore. They sell manga, light novels and doujinshi. It has a lot of adult humour in it, so it is directed at an older audience. The first half of the series focuses on laughs, whereas the second half brings in a romance/comedy plot line. I will admit that I did enjoy the first half a lot better than the second half, but it was still enjoyable none the less. All of the female characters are very short compared to their male counterparts. Most animes have the characters at similar heights but here they are all much shorter, most noticeable when Fu-Girl and Sommelier stand next to each other.

(Sommelier and Fu-Girl)

One of the things I love is animes changing the name of brand name items, for obvious reasons.

(Oh Fu-Girl, never change)

 (Nice try at censoring, and yes, you did read that right)

(One of the many reasons why Fu-Girl is my favourite) 

 (Yes, but still adorable)

 (Zombies with glow sticks)

 (Take my chocolate banana in your mouth <3)

(Pour that hot chocolate on me...) 

 (Maybe...?)

 (Who doesn't like a good boobs festival?)

(I don't think so...) 

 (They might get a little cold in there, maybe give them a jacket)

If you are looking for a show with a bit of humour, romance and slice of life, then I'd say give Denki-Gai a go. The series is only 12 episodes long so it is quite short and easy to get through. Each episode is split into 2-3 stories. I'd rate the show 8/10 due to having a laugh each episode.
