Mitsudomoe

When Satoshi Yabe, the newest teacher at an elementary school, is assigned as the homeroom teacher of class 6-3, he is in for a shock. The class is full of chaos and eccentric students, but none are more troublesome than the mischievous Marui triplets. Mitsuba is sadistic and unusually mature for her age; Futaba is both lewd and incredibly strong; and Hitoha, often absorbed in her erotic books, is quiet and ominous.

As the sisters take an interest in Yabe, they start pestering him with endless antics. With misunderstandings and bizarre situations unfolding every day, Yabe's life at school is anything but boring.

What an absolute masterpiece of a train-wreck this show was.

This show is not for the weak, as it does get a little .... risky in the content, but it never goes over the line of indecent.

I love the Three Stooges comparison, because it literally is an apt comparison for the base comedy this show delivers on.

If you are looking to watch a show with a full, robust story and huge character development, this is not your show. if you are looking for dumb scenarios, hijinks and tom-foolery for 20 minutes a rip, this is your show.

My favorite character was Hitaha, but each of the ... sisters was great in their own way.

Mixed Feelings

(TLDR Review below, as usual, thanks for reading in advance)

Mitsudomoe took toilet humour and the likes and did a funny.

It's known to all that comedy is a hit or miss, you either find it funny or you don't. Very simple. Mitsudomoe is no exception to that. I should be straight here actually, I am unable to sell Mitsudomoe in comparison to other exceptional comedies out there in a way that only puts it and its quality in a unique spotlight. I liked it for sure, but it didn't have any qualifications for me to say that it had some kind of idiosyncratic nature to ... point out as "wow very good!". Though, when I think about that, I suppose I could go on about the toilet humour and sexual jokes that light up every corner of this anime neverendingly. But then you remember that ecchi is a thing so there is no real need to touch on that because it has already been done before, and even if I did, Mitsudomoe has a tendency to play with unoriginal tropes anyway. I really can't go on too much about what makes Mitsudomoe so good, it is an enjoyable thing, everything is based on such and other frequently highlighted pillars decay in relevance. It is strange though in some sense. You have some anime like Hanamaru Kindergarten which takes juvenile mindsets and plays them in a comedic joyous fashion to bring fun to the series in a way that brings the viewer to engage with the childish realm of thought. Quick note, obviously the series is extreme, but relative to its own world, the idea of the baseline is apparent and was the aforementioned. You also have series like Minami-ke and Strawberry Marshmallow which, to be fair, is probably closest to Mitsudomoe, though the two former titles embrace their SoL nature, allowing for some real and wholesome comedy moments.

Mitsudomoe is literally just a comedy filled with borderline ecchi jokes.

Again, in its own right, Mitsudomoe is something to praise, excluding everything that already exists and acting as if this were the only anime ever. I'd say that this is something very easy to enjoy, though has apparent and quite visible distinctions where lack of idea was simply present (they just threw in some oppai joke and it worked I think). However, it is the lack of ideas that resurface consistently and the understanding that this is more comedy driven than anything else is what gets to me as the points where it falters and becomes a little too literal. There were just too many times when the same thing would happen, or how some jokes just didn't land probably because of some fault in innovation behind the scenes. Maybe I am being too harsh on it. The fact that it is just some comedy only made to make people laugh at little kids rambling on about pantsu and oppai—mentioned kids also being very unrealistic—is not a problem in itself. It only covers the very literal, the surface, the baseline, the superficial, which is where my problem lies. But honestly, I could just be thinking about this too much. I will reiterate that this is still good stuff. The number of times I've laughed is uncountable—no one actually counts this stuff anyway. You get the point though. It's still good.

Characters are an integral part of comedy too, so I will touch upon that. The characters here are indeed nothing special, but they are part of the reason why this is enjoyable anyway, and it isn't just because they are some trope at the end of the story, but rather the chemistry and madness of this anime fully utilised these characters to make the best of them. You have the 1st sister, Mitsuba, basically a bitchy sadist. You have the 2nd sister, Futaba, the superhuman bakemono idiot. You have the 3rd sister, Hitoha, the cute edgelord pseudo-esper. These three know how to cause a stir in the moment, it is truly incredible. Sometimes the matchups with the three, bit it with others or amongst themselves can work really well too. Seeing conflict between Hitoha and Mitsuba ideals clash, or Futaba's lack of awareness or willingness to go wild being taken advantage of. It's just crazy matchups to bring about funny moments all in all. Other side characters work as a one-dimensional personality too here, so I wouldn't go expecting the world here, but again, it brings for nice crazy combinations with at least one of them satisfying a viewer in this 13 episode season.

The production of the anime is probably really damn good for its time. I've come to understand that I don't watch a ton of anime despite having seen many, in that, I watch a ton of shorts and MVs as I do with regular anime, all of which, isn't a large magnitude of things, to begin with. However, in the small number of anime I've seen, Mitsudomoe probably was made in a respectful manner which gave it a cleaner image. I'm not talking about the "Hey Arnold!" shaped heads and character design (although it actually works well with this comedy, like something out of Ed Edd n Eddy). Rather, the slapstick and fluid motion in these characters when they decide it's time to break logic. Sometimes it isn't sinusoidal, it can be an abrupt change especially with characters who switch on and off like Futaba. There's quite a bit to respect in the dynamic nature. In terms of OST, to keep a long story short, yeah it isn't exactly the most memorable of tracks. I suppose with this being a comedy there was no need for the incentive of making melodies with the sole purpose of clenching at the viewer, but even so, there are good comedy OSTs out there, such as half of AB's soundtrack which can age very very well for some reason. But even so, nothing really springs to mind here for me, it is just the background sound you have that leaves as fast as it comes, in other words, OST here is made to make the scenes less awkward rather than enhance anything. The only thing I can really praise is the OP, it is pretty damn catchy. Otherwise, nothing to really report on.

Despite whatever ramblings I may have said, Mitsudomoe is still a pretty good anime, just something I wouldn't necessarily overpraise as such that has been done in the past from what I can see here and now on the community side of things. It gets repetitive at times which is annoying, it doesn't really try to expand and play around with ideas too often with the most numerous appearances of a contender being sexual/toilet jokes. But when all is said and done, and such faults can be looked over, honestly, this is enjoyable and well worth the watch—a shot at the very least.

----------
TLDR Review:

Story - 6: A very repetitive comedy with the same type of joke most of the time (sexual jokes). It is fine in terms of consistent quality.
Visuals - 7: Quite a nice fluid motion to the characters so much so that everything turns out well in comedic execution.
Audio - 6: Mostly background sounds that don't stick. It just fills the setting and that's all.
Characters - 7: Fun character and character chemistry, mostly all just one-dimensional for the matchups, which isn't bad in itself tbh.
Enjoyment - 6: It's fun, although the repetitive nature and consistent encasement to rejection expansion can find that everything gets killed easily for enjoyment. Still fun stuff tho.

----------
This is another one of those anime I spend like 700 years trying to finish, originally started in June and now in the midst of December or whenever the hell I decide to upload this review. I got there in the end though, with some words of wisdom to spare. Would recommend people watch this. In today's day and age, it will probably offend people with the consistent use of kids in some kind of sexual rhetoric joke, which to be fair, gets annoying, but tolerance like mine or mindlessness of such jokes will indeed give you a nice time with this series. I cannot guarantee bursts of laughter, but I got a few laughs with this, maybe you will if you are not cynical enough :p


Overall - 6.4 (6)

Preliminary (4/13 eps)

Mitsudomoe is awful. The fact that the teacher's voice actor is the same one as Zenitsu from Demon Slayer is already a red flag. Do I really have to listen to this annoying ass voice for the rest of the season?

Ok, enough of that tangent. Barring Zenitsu's voice actor, Mitsudomoe is basically a low-brow ecchi comedy centered around 11 year olds. Sexual innuendos and themes are the at least half of the comedy, and it's just kind of cringe. Either that, or low effort slapstick. I really couldn't get past the first few episodes.

Do the characters really matter when the content of the ... show is cringe humor? It's basically dangling a key in front of a child sort of humor. Haha, penis joke. It's even more funny since an 11 year old is saying it. I mean honestly, everything could have been saved if the comedy was decent, but no, not the case.
