This was a great surprise, and probably tied with Mushouku Tensei as the best produced show of the season that I've seen so far. The animation cuts and direction give the best kind of listless viewing experience that I only get from anime- the kind where expressions and shots hang just a bit longer than usual to sell some introspection, and you can feel the scene if you so wish. But it doesn't get caught up in its own artistry, and is here to entertain. The 'I'm not a kid, I'm just short!' tsun trope is in full effect here, but I haven't watched anime with that as its focus in a looong while. Working adults at a company that isn't a lampoon for the evils of Japanese work culture, check. Solving problems and working together while growing closer, check. Very fun side characters with independent storylines going on, check. Some actually really funny and cute gags, check. An absolutely stellar OP. What are you waiting for?
