Arakawa Under the Bridge is yet another plot-less anime series. However, it's good for a few chuckles and I do like the eccentric cast of characters. The gags, randomness and the unique cast make this anime fun to watch.Anyway, a second season was announced at the end of episode 13 but the release date is not yet confirmed.Plot: (6/10) – FairIt's basically about how Kou (aka Recruit or Ric) gets along with a group of eccentric people living under a bridge.Characters: (8/10) – GoodThe characters are funny but I don't really find them lovable. There are many characters with masks on and I do hope to see their true faces one day... hopefully in the second season.Here are some characters I like:Sister - cross-dressing FTW (or maybe not?!) Either way, a Sister with a scar on the face looks cool!Hoshi - I wonder where I can get the mask from.. (o.O)Recruit - He's the typical serious guy who tries to be perfect in everything he does.Art/Animation: (7/10) – Fairly GoodThe animation is typically SHAFT. I'm not a fan of SHAFT-style.Music: (6/10) – FairI don't like the Opening themes but the Ending theme is not too bad.Enjoyment: (8/10) – GoodIt's quite a funny series. It makes me laugh once in a while.Overall: (7/10) – Fairly GoodI'm not a fan of SHAFT works but Arakawa Under the Bridge is quite fun to watch.
