An expected bit of bonus fun.
What They Say:
Shuri Komori is a 14-year-old girl, who is so nice that she can not turn down people’s request. She gains amazing abilities while she fulfills people’s request. There are many fun & happy things in her life, since she is an adolescent middle school student after all!
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
While Komori-san came to a close last week, a lot of fans were surprised to find a thirteenth episode arrive. This isn’t a normal episode in the traditional sense as it works with Megumi and Masako as they essentially walk us through the series itself, basically recapping the premise and showing off a lot of bits and pieces to it. It largely serves as an ad for the manga and the home video release but I can’t find myself really complaining about it that much as it’s one more taste of the work before it disappears for fans as I don’t expect there to be more of it. The pair provide a good look at things and its origins while also plugging the various physical media releases coming up.
In Summary:
Because it’s an information piece more than anything else, I can’t see really grading this. It’s surprising that Crunchyroll went through the effort of bringing it out, but considering it’s just a two-minute piece it’s not a huge commitment or anything. It’s welcome to see something like this though because it’s fun and simple, the kinds of things we often don’t get to see in general over here. Komori-san has a lot of appeal, but it’s a show that I think would hit better by doubling its running time and getting a bit more room to breathe and hit up its humor and situations.
