Recorder And Randsell Mi Episode 8
What They Say:
On the surface it seems as if Atsushi is an adult, but really he’s just an elementary student! However, he is paired with a second-year high school student Atsumi, whose height is just the opposite of his. These two together create an unusual relationship and will undoubtedly instigate some comedic antics in this slice of life comedy!
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
While Atsushi has gotten away without being arrested much lately, things take a really amusing turn this time around as he gets accosted by Yoshioka, who has his own particular fetish with young girls. With Yoshioka seeing what Atushi is doing with his elementary school girlfriend, Yoshioka gets all concerned and misunderstands what Atsushi’s situation is. But while there’s humor about that, it’s the way he views Atsushi as being a brother in admiring the young ladies and truly admiring his level of skill in getting close to them. It’s highly, highly creepy, but it’s presented in such a hilarious way as he claims to be a brother of Atsushi because of the fetish that you can’t help but to laugh loudly at it.
In Summary:
While the awkward level of this season is much less than what we had before, especially since the cops are more aware of things now and Atsushi is arrested far less, there’s still plenty of areas where you can cringe a bit. Yoshioka definitely presents that, but at leas there’s some restraint on his part. The way he deals with Atsushi is priceless though and his admiration is just so wrong that it works so right. Yoshioka is one that I’m not a fan of in some ways, though there are obvious avenues for him to work through, but his meeting with Atsushi is priceless and bringing the cops in works very, very well.
