Dear readers!

It's DarrenW again and today I'm going to bring a whole hell of laughs to you all, with Working'!! S2!! (Too many exclamation marks...)

Main Characters

Anyway, our story resumes after Season 1, where Takanashi Souta continues to work at the Wagnaria Family Restaurant as his part time job, of which he applied for it because he was attracted to the job by a "chisai" (tiny) senpai!

Just some info for those who didn't watch Season 1. The story anime focuses on Takanashi and his coworkers in Wagnaria, where we have a look over the relationships and characters of his colleagues. Mainly speaking, its a real-life anime.

Firstly, Takanashi Souta, the main character, who is a 16 year old high-schooler... who loves CUTE THINGS. Mainly speaking, ANYTHING that is small. He lives in a family of 5, of which all 4 siblings are girls with... problems.



Secondly, the optimistic, short-tempered Popura Taneshima, who is as tiny as an elementary schooler but is 17 YEARS OLD. She's very cute. The main reason why Takanshi joined Wagnaria, she is full of enthusiasm but is often bullied by other coworkers due to HER HEIGHT. Annnnd she can't reach a lot of high places.


Thirdly, we have Mahiru Inami, who is another weird case. She cannot be near guys because she will LITERALLY punch them up into pulp due to her phobia, which was fixed since young. Often, she punches Souta and Souma upon seeing them. Her punches have the ability to break walls and lamposts.

Hahaha

Fourthly, Kyoko Shirafuji, who is the manager at Wagnaria. Calm and collected, she often does things which has no interest towards helping the business. She loves to eat anything and will go hungry in the next 5 minutes, though she's EXTREMELY slim. Oh yeah, she's also a gang leader in the past and so she often dials them up if there's any trouble. LOL

Fifth, Yachiyo Todoroki, who has no eyes, and is one of the most beautiful characters in the anime. She looks perfectly normal, except that is lesbian (in the innocent way) and carries a Katana (Japanese Samurai sword) as she works, which freaks most people out.

Sixth & Seventh, we have Souma Hiroomi who is another calm and collected person, but has an amazing ability to dig up anybody's secrets, and Jun Sato, who is the main chef of the kitchen. A hardworking and normal chef, but looks like a gangster, and has an unrequited love for Yachiyo.



Oh yeah, and there's Yamada Aoi, who is bad at everything and anything, clumsy at the wrong moments and lives in the restaurant.



In Season 2, we also saw more of the Takanashi family. 4 words to describe Souta's siblings:
Drunkard, Hardworking, Weak, Strong.




Bascially, Working'!! S2 was interesting, in more way than one. For the fact that there was ALMOST NO PLOT DEVELOPMENT AT ALL was quite awesome in its own way. It felt like something was going to happen but then it suddenly reached the end of the season.

Hahaha

There was a theme though, the theme of growing up (hard to see), real-life and.... working!!


But I would commend the anime for it managed to achieve a good sense of laughter, mainly slapstick and funny scenes managed to bring out much humor.




Personally, I feel that this anime is good for those who wish to just watch a simple anime with a few laughs along the way, not too bothered about serious plot developments and stress like other animes. It is also fit for all ages, with almost the least amount, or none ECCHI I have ever seen.

Hahaha

Same Person

Working'!! S2 premiered in the Autumn 2011 season with 13 episodes, from October 1st to December 24th (WOW CHRISTMAS EVE). It was fansubbed by FFFpeeps, m.3.3.w, Shini Subs and SHiN-gx. It also has a season one that premiered a year ago (one of my first few animes), and a manga series with 10 volumes since 2005.




Enjoy Working! Or slacking.
Hint: Mmmm Flesh.
