Anime in Focus: Working!! Episode 2


 <-In this episode we get to meet Inami, a waitress who is also in incredibly violent Tsundere

Previous Episode

Alright, after an excellent first episode, I’ve decided to come back for a bit more. Last week Takanashi was introduced to an employee he never met named Inami, who is violently afraid of men. She apparently requested not to work with any males, but the assistant manager made a “mistake.” In this episode, we begin to question how Inami is capable of functioning in normal society. Upon contact with a male, her first reflex is to punch them repeatedly, whether it is a fellow employee of customer.

This causes problems with Takanashi, because Inami seems particularly prone to hitting him, because she can’t stand him being male. Takanashi seems to have serious issues with her being over the age of twelve (he has no problem with Poplar because she looks about 12.) It’s actually… really creepy. The manager believes that putting these two together will be a learning experience.

While working together, they attempt to get over each other’s issues with each other, which is difficult, because Takanashi can’t change being male, and Inami can’t change the fact that she’s over 12 years old. It’s a frustrating situation for both of them, since they can’t stand each other’s major flaws.  Also, I think Mr. Hansen wants Takanashi to have a seat right over there. During this, the cast establishes themselves more, and we get to know them much better. The lady with a sword still acts completely normal despite having the sword, and seems to discourage bringing weapons in, despite constantly carrying a sword.

Overall, I’m liking this show. It definitely doesn’t take itself seriesly, and produces plenty of funny moments. Worth a look at Goodanime.net
