Synopsis

During recess, Olivia, a foreign transfer student who doesn't know English, plays a game of "look-the-other-way" with Hanako Honda, a loud-mouthed airhead. Their rowdy behavior spurs the ire of Kasumi Nomura, a deadpan loner constantly teased by her older sister for her tendency to lose games. Not willing to compete, Kasumi declines Olivia's offer to join the fun, but eventually gets involved anyway and dispenses her own brand of mischief. Soon, a strange friendship blossoms between the peculiar trio, and they decide to form the "Pastime Club," where they are free to resume their daily hijinks.

Whether it be failing to learn English, trying desperately to become popular, or getting caught by teachers at the wrong time, school life will never be boring when the girls of Asobi Asobase are up to their hilarious antics.

Genuinaly the only piece of media that has actually made me die laughing and almost piss myself, like usually when you watch a "funny" movie you still sort of need to force yourself to laugh; not this one. This is hands-down the funniest show I’ve seen in my life. I kid you not I was shitting myself and finding it hard to breathe every episode. I was just cackling in utter silence because my mouth couldn’t produce anything audible because of the lack of air that I was inhaling. It was just absolutely fucking hilarious. The opening is a cute little video of the three ...

Mixed Feelings
I came across Asobi Asobase through TikTok, where it was recommended as a slice-of-life comedy anime. I was curious and gave it a try since I usually enjoy shows that are light and funny. After finishing it, I’d say it’s… okay. Not great, not terrible—just somewhere in between.

Honestly, I didn’t find it that funny. The humor felt a bit forced, and most of the jokes relied too much on exaggerated facial expressions and over-the-top reactions. At first, it was amusing, but it quickly felt repetitive. Instead of laughing, I often found myself just watching in silence, waiting for something to land. Another reason it didn’t ...

I found asobi asobase in the list of the best comedies and it caught my attention and...

Comedy: of course we all know that comedy is a subjective concept, but the humor of this anime is very weak in my opinion, why is it?

Characters:Olivia is one of the main trio. She claims ...
