About Gag Manga Biyori

Here is what Gag Manga Biyori (増田こうすけ劇場 ギャグマンガ日和) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy anime by Artland (2005). The setup: Gag Manga Biyori is an anime that is about absolutely nothing. It is comprised of 12 short stories (5 minutes long each) that only build up a small amount of plot for each story.

Further in, the anime feeds off the stupidest things, but is quite humorous.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Taishi Shoutoku (Takeshi Maeda) and Imoko Onono (Eiji Takemoto) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Artland is the studio behind Gag Manga Biyori, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on comedy, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Its 6.4/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Takeshi Maeda as Taishi Shoutoku, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2005, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
