About [RAW] Asari-chan

[RAW] Asari-chan blends comedy, slice of life and shoujo by Toei Animation (1982). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: Produced by Toei Animation and directed by Kazumi Fukushima after the manga series by Muroyama Mayumi, this anime follows Asari, a normal fourth-grade girl. One day, while bargain shopping, she wins the lucky ticket at a lottery for a one-person trip to Hawaii.

More of the story: Chaos reigns as her family, the Beach's, struggle over who should go. The ticket is lost in a bonfire, ironically. Other circumstances follow when the family comes across out that the travel agency offered to "give the equal amount of half the travel expenses in cash for the ticket" from an employee of the supermarket Asahi had shopped at.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
