Anime in Focus: Working!! Episode 1

I realize that there has been a lack of popping fresh anime around here, so I decided to fix that. Hence, I ventured out to watch what a few guys on several anime forums were talking about, Working!!

Working!! Is the story of a local family restaurant named Wagnaria. The schenanigans begin when the chef decides that it is time to hire on more employees, and tells the people who work there to go out into the world and find new employees. This leads Poplar, one of the more enthusiastic (and shorter) waiters to find Sota Takanashi, who thinks she’s a lost 12 year old.

Eventually, Poplar convinces Sota to work for her restaurant, despite not knowing anything about him. This leads to introducing the rest of the restaurant employees, such as the moderately psychotic assistant manager, the creepy chef, and the girl who is carrying around a sword for some reason. This rest of the episode is dedicated to showing how the restaurant runs and operates….

In this we learn that Poplar is really cute and tries her best, but isn’t very good at menial tasks. The assistant manager Kyoko, is not afraid to tell a whiny customer how she feels about them. The Chef manages to be antisocial and creepy, like a lot of chef’s I’ve met in reality (no, seriously.)

The show has nice pacing, and manages to get some giggles, and some ROFLs. I highly recommend it if you’re in the mood for a slice of life/comedy that doesn’t take too much commitment out of you.

Like Awakawa Under the bridge, this anime kind of doesn't exist anywhere  Hence, I would feel bad if I did not give credit to GOOD ANIME.NET
