This review does not contain spoilers Yo... Mic check... These words came to bring a smile on my face week after consecutive week introducing each time episodes that marked the high point of the airing season. Joshikousei no Mudazukai (Joshimuda) is what I would consider to be a bonafide diamond in the rough. What at first glance appears to be yet another mediocre attempt at a playfully random slice-of-life comedy is a show that proves to stand out as uniquely its own with characters and dialogue that leave a lasting impression on the viewer.

Attempting to summarize the plot, or lack thereof here would be a disservice to this show. Certainly there is a valid argument to be made for grounding the characters, setting, and timeline in a plot that serves to bring out the best of a show. Conversely, the slice-of-life genre rejects the necessity of a strong plot by substituting in its place elaborate dialogue and skit-like scenes that accentuate all the best a show has to offer.

With this in mind, what makes Joshimuda stand out among its same genre competition is how it manages to so effectively maintain an interesting dynamic among its characters without its shtick getting old. Where anime such as Dumbbell, Working!!, and Hitoribocchi gradually suffer from repetitive personality traits losing their appeal, Joshimuda is able to build interest with each episode through characters and dialogue that contribute in spite of some repetition.

I have yet to mention a single character or event from this anime, and for good reason. Joshimuda is a 12 episode blitz of insignificant high school girls coming together to share seemingly significant moments. A glance at the official summary of Joshimuda will offer little explanation as well, only going so far as to summarize the anime as: "...the ridiculous days of three high school friends claiming (or not) the height of their youth." Indeed I feel as though this minimal background is adequate in summarizing all that makes it so enjoyable. I assert there is no point in having expectations from a show meant to so quickly and naturally have you experience all that it has to offer. With that, I give Joshimuda a strong recommendation to anyone looking for a show to watch.

Also the OP is straight fire.
