Digiboy on Barakamon

Twitter has killed animeblogging so much that Otou himself prefers carp about LL on Twitter over blogging it at SOS. His co-blogger Digiboy is left to carry the animblogging flag with a post "Barakamon is FUNNY" (capitalization is original):

Nevermind “mai daughteru” longing, fujoshi fun, or the legendary critic punch-out. Artistic introspection, likable characters, and a nice feel are just icing on the fact that Barakamon is really, really funny. It nails fish-out-of-water, broad slapstick, timing, character interactions–basically, everything it goes for, it nails. I won’t say every joke works, but every episode works on the whole. All the elements feed into one-another naturally, but at its core, the fact that it’s so funny gives it the boundless likability it exudes at all times.

Indeed. Humour was not my focus, as my personal favourite part is the character interaction. The rival segment was particularly well done. But since Barakamon is endless (manga is ongoing), Digiboy's focus is more conductive to care-free enjoyment.
