This 2 minute per episode slice of life comedy series aired in Japan in 2012
and is comprised of 26 episodes.
The story revolves around situation comedy vignettes
showcasing misunderstandings about the Miyagawa siblings. Atsushi is an elementary
school student who has the body of a 20 something male. His sister Atsumi
is a high school student with the body of a grade-schooler. Hilarity ensues,
mostly involving Atsushi, when he's frequently mistaken for a pedophile.
The story involves a small cast of side characters including Atsushi female
classmate, Atsumi's best friend and the siblings 30 something unemployed
live-at-home neighbor.
There isn’t much to say for a series that runs essentially the
same gag for about an hour’s worth of run time. More than half of the
episodes deal with people thinking Atsushi is an adult, most involving the
police dragging him away as a pervert. This and the artwork make for a
grating series. Its only saving grace is the length. The art is
subpar, reminiscent on the end of the 90s in style, with overly buxom/jiggly
women portraying the adult female characters. The series is semi ecchi in
some of its content. I decided to watch it all mostly to just have
something to review, but it honestly took about an hour to watch...so I don't feel
too bad about the time spent. It’s not really worth the time though.
If you are curious, just watch the first five episodes and you will get
the gist of how the whole series goes. But honestly, you can just skip
it.
Hey made 2 other seasons of the
show as well; Recorder and Randsell Re & Recorder and Randsell Mi, each 13
episodes. The original series along with
‘Re’ are available via Crunchyroll, and I am sure ‘Mi’ will follow shortly.
