Anime: Kyou no Asuka Show

Kyou no Asuka is a short, ecchi-based series meant for a slightly mature audience. Each episode shows Asuka in an ordinary situation ranging from bathing in a sento to buying magazines at the local convenience store. If light, ecchi-based humor is on your radar, this is a fair watch. However, given the short duration of each episode, don't expect much residual value out of it.

Animation:
The animation style is slightly under-saturated and not terribly detailed, but satisfactory given the nature of the show. Asuka is drawn in a fairly unique fashion, something about her lips reminds me of Denpa Onna. It's kind of funny because the drawing style transitions her expressions between looking like a clueless dunce and a really mature woman. Don't expect any action in the show, though there is a fair dosage of ecchi, from suggestive situations to partial nudity scenes with healthy puffs of mysterious clouds.

Sound:
The show has an opening "theme" and a very short but fitting ED performed by the protagonist. The BGM is, obviously, pretty minimal given the lack of episode length.

Arisa Noto does a great job as Asuka. She gives her character the perfect mix of attitude to match the events in each episode, sometimes sounding mature and at other times sounding totally innocent and pure.

Story:
Asuka, who lives with her father, often causes awkward situations for other people without realizing it, mostly due to her lack of self-awareness as the prettiest creature in the known universe. The variety of situations is what makes each episode interesting, by no means is anything repetitive. The only caveat is that certain episodes end up much more humorous than others; in fact, I didn't even get the punchline in some of the episodes. Don't expect any semblance of a plot as each episode is completely self-contained.

Character:
Though Asuka is an interesting personality, there really isn't any development here; and that's totally fine given the nature of the show. You often get to listen in as she reasons out situations in her head, which puts her leagues above your average harem girl.

Value:
Ultimately, this is just a fun distraction that may beget a few laughs now and then. There's no real value in the particular series but it's a fair watch nonetheless.
