Aho Girl (2017)
6/10
Patrick Star anthropomorphized

Aho Girl: What is she? What makes Aho girl not? Is it even worth watching this anime? Sincerely, Aho Girl (Idiot Girl) is a slapstick-heavy classic boke and tsukkomi comedy. This show is absolutely for you if all you want to do is laugh uncontrollably and switch off your brain. Never before have I seen anime with such brutality. The cruelty is utterly savage. It is just one joke after another. One of the best 15 minute ab workout ever. Though they will despise you, your sides will appreciate you.

This is the kind of traditional yin-yang anime where the plot and the characters are meant to complement one another. One cannot survive apart from the other. The main characters are Yoshiko, a masochist fool beyond comprehension, and her childhood crush, A-Kun, a brilliant sadist beyond comprehension. However, as the anime progresses, many other characters are added. A-Kun mercilessly beats Yoshiko's eccentricities down to bring the situation back to normal whenever they reach their pinnacle. This quid pro quo interchange is what adds so much humor to this anime. Even if Yoshiko's stupidity has caused her a lot of hardship, viewers may still feel sorry for her. But in actuality, she's just Patrick Star anthropomorphized and genderbent.

Every episode is made up of a few quick jokes. Needless to say, even though you know the MC will pull off some type of ridiculous act, each joke stays original even though it occasionally recycles a running joke. As the show progresses, a variety of supporting characters are introduced to us, including Kuudere Dumb Sister, Tsundere Lewd President, Yandere Killer Mom, and Overtly Charismatic Doge. They seem intelligent at first, but as the show progresses, everyone but A-kun gradually turns into a moron. A common fan theory among serious manga readers holds that A-Kun is solely to blame. He drains the intelligence from everyone in his vicinity. Everybody who enters loses at least fifty points of IQ due to his 20-foot radius.
