I have to say I came close to turning off after the first ten minutes or so. I'm not a big fan of the Japanese over-the-top acting style. But I have to say I'm happy I kept watching.
It's essentially a manga, and it wasn't until afterwards that I found out that it was indeed based on one, although there are plenty of clues in the show (the acting style, the framing, the use of graphics etc.) The story is kind of silly and the acting is wildly exaggerated. But if you take it for what it is it's very enjoyable.
The main character Yukimaru, played by Kyôko Yoshine, is like a shot of adrenaline pumped straight into the heart. It's impossible to watch her and not smile. Although she would make an absolutely horrible colleague in real life...
It's not often I want to see a second season, but in the case of this show I wouldn't mind that one bit. Can't wait to see what Yukimaru and her colleagues get up to next.
