2016 January 15ᵗʰ. Orenchi no Furo Jijō!

おはよう!

Oh my god, oh my gosh. I can't believe I did that.
...But on another note (he huu hue hue), the Sonic Adventure 2 soundtrack has been sounding really good to me recently. Listen to it, seriously. It's great.

I didn't realize how much I needed this in my life

This is totally appropriate, just keep reading.

First of all, I swear this is not what it looks like.

(Alright, it's, like, 43% what it looks like)
That is a man in a tub with another few people. And a snail.But I swear, it's fine. They're anthropomorphic sea creatures; (Nothing below their waists).

But I should mention that, from this point forward, if you are made uncomfortable by overt themes of yaoi, you may wish to pass along on this post. (Though the characters are all technically heterosexual, you know what I mean.)

SO,

Today's anime is Orenchi no Furo Jijō. The Circumstances in my Home's Bathtub.

I was going to do a first-impression of this later in the year, but for, uh, personal reasons I went ahead and decided to do one now.
Y'see, it was decided that it'd be a first-impression. It's just, the episodes are 4:00 each, and I may've gotten a ~bit~ carried away and watched the entire series.
So now you see, it's a review. Hooray!
This anime is friggin' great.
It's incredibly cute, funny, and the characters don't overstay their welcome.
Er, well, it's debatable that the anime is about Takasu, the merman, overstaying his welcome—but that's not the point. The side characters exeunt just at a time leaving you wishing they would stay; that is, the show has really quite-nice pacing.
While all goes on in this happy world of Tatsumi—the human—and his friends, you can kind of feel just a sense that everything is a bit off.
Something just seems wrong in the atmosphere, (and it's not the giant fishman living in Tatsumi's tub).
It's like every character is, deep down, just a little bit evil. Manipulative, working for an agenda, whatever you'd like to call it. And it makes it all the better.
Speaking for myself, also somewhat evil, that mood makes the show all the more relatable and hilarious.
Now, I'd really rather you just watch this. The episodes are four minutes in length, so it's not too huge of a time commitment.
Here's the link on Crunchyroll.
Here it is on Kissanime, and here on Gogoanime.
...As for that Gogoanime site, its TLD is .io, but it refers to itself within the site as ".tv." Something about that discomfits me; I suggest using the other two sites first in priority.
