If you think anime shows are about beautiful or flashy visuals then do not try to watch Human Bug Daigaku. However it is not always about visuals. I have always disagreed with people that put animation over anything else actually I think what makes an anime good is that something. Human Bug Daigaku has many somethings. It is a show with plain art and almost nonexistent animation that does not take itself seriously when that is not needed. But it knows how to entertain its audience very well and includes comedy which I find hilarious combined with a wellbuilt intriguing mystery. Also it is an educational anime since theres brief random trivia analysis in every episode usually mixed with comedic scenes. Some may not know that Human Bug Daigaku is an anime adaptation of a YouTube web manga series of the same name. The web manga is long and includes many stories one of them is the story of Satake Hirofumi. Surprisingly for nonJapanese audiences it has millions of views and is very popular in Japan. Thats another point to be made when I explain why Human Bug Daigaku is such an unjustly unpopular anime show and it deserves more attention despite its poor animation quality it makes it clear that its not just a random anime. Now lets go to the story. Satake Hirofumi is accused of murdering his wife and sentenced to death. Surprisingly despite being hung he gets out alive. We learn that he is generally the luckiest man in the world and thats how the mysterious story starts. We do not know the truth we get to meet many suspicious individuals as we start to like and root for a now amnesiac Hirofumi. A man who sets on dangerous adventures and somehow always survives. Something very strong in this anime is how most of the characters Satake meets are interesting and easy to remember as they all have their unique character backstories and relationship with him. In addition the show takes place in many cities and even different countries which makes the experience more amusing. But whats most amusing and memorable about it is how it keeps its lightheartedness from beginning to end and even when things get dangerous there is always love and optimism. The comedy might not be for all audiences but it includes a unique goofy sense of humour it is wellcombined with the story progression there are many inside jokes created as the show progresses and is faithful to what it is. On the other hand even if we know that the main character is invincible in a way the mystery is always there and week by week I was agonizing over what may happen next. There is ingenious plot progression and you never know how things will turn out. As much as I love the writing of Human Bug Daigaku I also love its voice acting cast. Tomokazu Sugita performs splendidly once again as the main character but there are many other great performers to be mentioned: Hidenari Ugaki as the crazy Professor Takehito Koyasu as the torturer Shigeo and more. Opening and Ending songs are both pluses for the anime. The OP is a typical nano anisong and nano is usually loved by anime fans. The ED is a totally different thing though. Catchy as hell retroish and playful Bad City/Bug Human by Lowland Jazz is a great fit for the shows vibes. To conclude I only want to say that I wrote this review to make more people watch Human Bug Daigaku and to express my approval of animated series with plain animation. I did not put much effort but I hope it is enough to persuade some of you to give anime like this a chance. Because Human Bug Daigaku is a fun show to watch when youre happy when youre sad when youre bored when youre eating when youre trying to sleep or when you want to give a hard laugh with your friends. Basically a successful show as far as Im concerned. Thanks for reading :
