Coming off from future HIROYUKIsenseis work I can kinda get why this title gets an anime adapataion. I dont see a review here so might as well pass the time. This is my first review here so bare with me a bit. Doujin work is Hiroyukisenseis first work that got adapted into anime. The story mainly follows a woman named Osana Najimi that tries and struggles to make a living off of the Doujin scene. What follows is her inaptitude of drawing and wanting to somehow be better. Assisted by her old friend and a somewhat prominent figure in the doujin scene she takes of into the daily life and struggle on being a doujin author a one that sells that is. Having read and watched Ahogirl Mangakasan to assitantsan to and Kanojo mo kanojo watching this feels like a big stepback in terms of production and comedy quality. It falls flat when compared the slapstick nature of ahogirl and the heavy innuendo of mangakasan. Nevertheless as senseis first work that got adapted into anime and me being a fan of senseis work watching this anime feels more like a pilgrimage and a trip down the history lane for Hiroyukisenseis work. What to say? I do have fun watching this but it feels more like a chore. The voice acting is okay at best sometimes kinda flat but others are well emphasized the art is passable old school art type with the big eyes and whatnot followed by simplistic backgrounds and nondetailbutcoloured background character arts and the comedy is classic Hiroyukisenseis taste but not yet matured to the level of his work nowdays. Watching it really feels like a memory lane trip back to simpler times simpler art and simpler premise. Comedywise It has it moments but it compares stale to his future works probably because it leans more to a deadpan comedy manner rather than slapsticks which could feel flat when not excecuted well. Yet I still find it quite fun to watch not to the level of future titles but more or less watchable. Worth the watch? Well if youre also a fan of Hiroyukisenseis work then I guess youd gain a little more background on how senseis comedy falls on. Ever wonder why his twitter name is Burumakun and therere sometimes bloomers in his work? well thats because its this shows main mascot. Its the little stuff like that that trancends into future works as trivias and canons and whatnot. Thats what I feel this anime could bring forth for you future watchers. Overall a respectable anime that shows how Hiroyukisenseis work started off at first. A must watch if youre on a pilgrimage on Hiroyukisenseis work or even if youre in it just to watch burumakun either way its fine
