Hello everyone, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time! Today we’re checking out something new, as we explore the first episode of Yuyushiki, a show I know virtually nothing about. In fact, I know so little about Yuyushiki that it’s probably time for a little research, just to see what I should be looking out for. Back in a moment!
Alright, I’m back. SO. Yuyushiki is a 4koma adaptation by Kinema Citrus, a smaller studio created by former members of BONES and Production I.G., whose relatively brief history includes such highlights as Scorching Ping Pong Girls, Made in Abyss, and Revue Starlight. Yuyushiki in particular is directed by the mysteriously attributed “Kaori,” whose work on shows like Endro!, How to Keep a Mummy, and Ping Pong Girls would seem to make her a perfect fit for these sorts of clubroom shenanigans. And with an equally accomplished series composer with a strong degree in Aikatsu, and animation directors who’ve spearheaded projects like Heaven’s Feel and Macross Delta, it seems like Yuyushiki is equipped with excellent key staff on all fronts. I still don’t really know what it’s about, but that’s not really the point of slice of life, is it? Let’s dive right in!
