Ueno-san wa bukijó

Occasionally this is a rather entertaining show which is based on a lot of absurd situations and inventions. There is also the fact that the girl is trying hard to impress the boy, who could not really care, and if it happens to work out, everything turns against the girl. The first part of the season (the absurd part) has something to it, if you can get past the very strong emphasis on various perversions (in other words, if you are not put off by the first episode and the idea of drinking filtered urine - you are going to be OK with the rest of the season...). There are a lot of unexpected things, total bullshit and ideas that could have only come from the minds of Japanese anime creators, with the caveat that every now and then something is going to be of some interest. The second part (with the romantic overtones) is nothing new, and there have been a few boys who are so "oblivious to it all" in the anime world, however, in this show it is occasionally amusing and Tanaka rocks the house at times, and Ueno is occasionally cute. 5.8/10.
