I’ve just watched my first anime of the Winter 2019 season: the gag-comedy “Ueno-san wa Bukiyou”. This half-length anime is based upon a seinen gag-manga series about three middle school students in a science club. The president of the club, third year student Ueno, has an over-the-top unrequited crush on obtuse second year student Tanaka who is oblivious to all that Ueno does to try to get Tanaka’s attention. Rounding out the trio is first year student Yamashita who reluctantly goes along with Ueno’s hair-brained schemes to confess to Tanaka.

In the first part Tanaka comes to the club and finds out that Ueno has invented a compact water purifier. Ueno wants to test the water purifier on Tanaka by having Tanaka drink some of Ueno’s purified urine. This horrifies Tanaka who refuses to test the liquid, even after Yamashita reluctantly tries some in order to help out Ueno in her scheme.

The second part concerns a device that Ueno created that collects dark matter from space and locally uses it to block things from view. In this case Ueno is specifically using it to block out the view of her panties from under her school uniform skirt. Tanaka nonchalantly goes along with making observations when Ueno uses her own skirt for the test, raising the skirt higher and higher as Tanaka acknowledges that the device does work and that he can’t see Ueno’s panties even when the skirt is pulled up all the way. This drives Ueno nuts because she desperately wants Tanaka to react to her by blushing or something, but he remains the neutral observer no matter what Ueno does.

This was a fun little start to the series and I’m looking forward to watching more of the gags in upcoming episodes. My initial rating is “B”.
