When I'm swamped with homework, anime doesn't always sound relaxing. I procrastinate even more than usual on the silliest of things... including my favorite anime. Instead, I watch something I don't need to have an opinion on, with characters and plot I don't care as much about. My brain is overtaxed as it is; I'd rather not think too hard about my leisure activities. That means I watch more live action shows, since I'm not in the habit of thinking deeply about them. I also watch comedy anime... of varying quality.
Thus, I'm caught up on Shirobako, but not on Daiya no Ace. I'm also enjoying Meganebu!, a fact I might be embarrassed to admit, if my inability to catch up on homework hadn't already taken my pride down a couple notches.

Meganebu! is full of inside jokes for glasses-wearers. But I think
most of us can sympathize with Yukiya's dilemna here. No service
on a deserted island (ep. 9). |
What, you ask, is
Meganebu!? It's a show about cute boys (as cute as they can be with lower quality animation), all of whom wear glasses. They're in a high school club revolving around... glasses. Their goal? To build X-ray glasses that can see through girls' clothes. As of the tenth episode, all their attempts have exploded, so the ladies are safe.
Really, their goal with the X-ray glasses comes second to their love for glasses. It's ridiculous. Somewhat amusing, but ridiculous. I'll probably rate it 2 stars on Anime-Planet, just because 1 star seems a bit harsh. But I'll still watch it all the way through, because it's fun and brainless, like American Saturday morning cartoons. And I kind of need that right now.
What do you watch when you need to unwind?
