Working!!

[Ryllharu]

We're on the fifth episode of season 2, and there are no posts yet.

But I'm not really surprised. Why? Because Working isn't as good as it was last season. There are two reasons is one reason for this.

1) Yamada. She's a horrible character. Apparently the author or the staff on the anime really like her, because since she was introduced last season, she never gets less than 7 minutes of screen time per episode. None of it deserved. She's not funny. Her most significant change the entire time she's been around is that now she wants to get adopted. She isn't entertaining. All of her scenes are of her whining about how lazy she should be allowed to be. She does less than Kyouko does! There's nothing more to her character. She has none of the quirks or range of emotions the other characters have. Yamada is a one-dimensional character, a running gag that isn't funny to begin with.

There hasn't been enough of anyone else, because they've been displaced by Yamada. Inami has had less than 4 minutes per episode this season, and only one short scene was actually about her. She's a major character, reduced to being there simply to say someone's name at the end of the scene. Has she even punched anyone more than the one time? They still haven't bothered to introduce the "normal" girl, though maybe that is intentional. Even Takanashi and Taneshima get reduced interaction time because Yamada always butts in.

In fact, her only good scene this season was Nazuna messing with her. If this series was focused on the Takanashi sisters, it would be a substantially better series. But it isn't. It's apparently about Yamada. Ugh.
