- Ok so I just finished Hinamatsuri, and before I say anything I first what to give a big shout out and thank you to @ Erik_The_Red on Kitsu for tipping me off to this gem before this season started.

Because this anime has been one of the funniest and most consistently funny animes I have ever seen, and I especially want to stress the CONSISTENT part because usually in comedy anime, in my experience, the stick or running joke gets old pretty quick, and it is just dull by the halfway point of the show. But this anime continuously kept being funny, always throwing in new jokes each episode, keeping the energy up all the way through. Not to mention, the colorful cast of characters each brought a fun and interesting viewpoint to this story, making each short fun to watch, regardless of how long you knew the individual character. Who would have thought that the premise of a Yakuza boss needing to deal with a telepathic teenager would be this hilarious, but I guess the absurdity of this situation just adds to the comedy.

- There are of course other elements of the show that I enjoyed, but honestly I don't really want to mention them too much because I feel like I'm just ticking boxes for this review at this point, and really I'm pretty sure you guys already suspect the rest of this anime is great. Yes the animation is 100% on point, and it truly shines during some of the power showdowns in the show, and of course just like the animation the music is also on point the entire time in this series, adding a real nice extra layer of comedy to every scene.

Finally, the last element I do want to highlight in this series that I feel is important is the pacing, normally the pacing in a comedy anime is quite hard to nail perfectly, because the story needs to be slow enough for the joke to really marinate in the minds of the viewer so they can fully understand it, but it also can't be too slow that jokes become stale as they stick around too long. Thankfully however, the fast paced approach this anime takes really heightens many of the jokes, and really doesn't even give you a second too much of downtime before you are already laughing at the next joke, it really is astonishing to me how funny this show is.

- This is why this anime was easily one of the highlights of my week (every week) this entire Spring 2018 anime season while it was airing. And honestly, I don’t think I could say enough good things about this anime, so I think I’m just going to give this show a 100/100 for the simple reason that it did everything a comedy anime is supposed to do. Which is, makes you laugh throughout each and every episode, and this show accomplished this goal in spades. At first, I was going to take 1 point off because I would have appreciated more Hina, but that last scene where we finally see what happens to the lost girl (Mao) was absolutely amazing to watch which is why this show gets a 100 and not a 90. Also in between the release of new episode I would sometimes rewatch previous episode, and you know what, even on a second or even third rewatch the episodes are STILL FUNNY, which really is my main criteria for giving a series a 100/100 in my book, so that is the other reason why this series gets a perfect score from me.

So overall the story was great through and through, and I really hope it gets a second season because this was extremely fun the watch. Anyways if you are looking for a new comedy anime to watch, I highly recommend you watch this if you’re into comedies
