To me, this is a spiritual successor to Lucky Star. All talk, no action, but the dialogue rips. The two characters are unconventional, with unique perspectives, and great vocal performances. The show is, by and large, a show about nothing; but it's an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. My only real complaint is that it's only six episodes! How dare they stop here?! But, that's to be expected I suppose since the manga's only two volumes long. The real shocker is that this got an anime adaptation at all given it's brevity. The deck was thoroughly stacked against it, especially since it takes place in a shopping mall and there's constant references to real-life places/restaurants throughout. They did the impossible though, and got the actual brands to sponsor the series. Looks like AEON (the shopping mall company) was the primary major sponsor, but there's definitely paid ad spots by KFC and some other places too.
Highly recommend taking two hours of your life to enjoy this little series about two friends chatting at the food court after school. Short and sweet. 9.5/10!
