Slice of the Married Otaku Life: I Can’t Understand What My Husband is Saying
Hi, peoples! Welcome back for another review on this lovely
Sunday! Before I begin, I want to thank
those of you who read my second “Hanime on Autism” post this past week. I still can’t express how happy it makes me
to see the wonderful and heartfelt responses I’ve seen so far. Thank you! J Anyways, back to the
review. This week, I will be covering my
first anime short series, as well as my first slice of life series. If you’ve ever wondered how the anime world
views marriage, then this show gives quite a quirky and comical response. So let’s get started on this week’s review on
I Can’t Understand What My Husband is
Saying.
I
Can’t Understand What My Husband is Saying is a slice of life series with
thirteen episodes that are only five minutes long. The series documents the life of newlyweds
Kaoru and Hajime. Kaoru is a bit of a
workaholic, while Hajime is an otaku who works at home-as a blogger. Along with other friends, the show takes a
look at Kaoru and Hajime’s ups and downs of married life. Season one ends with Kaoru discovering that
she and Hajime are expecting their first child.
So for my rating, I give I Can’t Understand What My Husband is Saying
a four out of five star rating. This
show is absolutely hysterical! I don’t
think I can say much for the plot, considering that this show is episodic and
each episode is five minutes, but it is funny all the same. Everything from Hajime’s references to anime,
from the other character’s crazy antics, and even with the issues that all
couples face, this show is a laugh out loud comedy. Though the animation may be a bit cartoony,
it is a comedy show, so the laid back and comical animation is to be expected. Nothing else I can say really.
Now, there is one downside and one
big disappointment that I did find with I
Can’t Understand What My Husband is Saying.
I think one downside to this show is the fact that each episode is so
short. Some people may prefer that
twenty minute long episode. It’s a matter
of taste. However, some of these short series,
like Hetalia, have become extremely
popular. It’s possible for a show of
this nature to gain some quick popularity, but it all comes down to who will go
for that. And the big “disappointment”
that I found with the show: it has a second season- note that I said “season
one ended…” Had I said differently, I
wouldn’t have implied a second season. I
was pretty upset when I found out about this.
And it wasn’t that I didn’t like the show, I felt like the way it ended
should have ended it. That is, Kaoru and
Hajime finding out they were pregnant should have ended the series. In fact, in the beginning of the episode, Hajime
think of ways that a slice-of-life show can end. Plus, in some shows, a baby kind of ruins the
show. Sometimes the characters can
change completely. And even in the
second season-which I saw only a little bit of it- they don’t even mention that
they’re pregnant. I don’t know what
happened, but the first season is still pretty great!
So to conclude, I Can’t Understand What My Husband is Saying
is definitely a comedy show that is short, sweet, and to the point when it
comes to marriage. You will definitely be
laughing till it hurts! Currently, the
show is not dumbed in English, but it is available primarily on
crunchyroll.com. I’ve also seen all
thirteen episodes available on YouTube.
And before I close, I know this post was really short, but considering
this is a short series, there’s not a lot to say. Don’t be disappointed! Anyways, that’s all that I have for this
week. Be on the lookout next Wednesday
for another “Hanime on Autism”, and of course, more reviews!
What is that anime
