I Can’t Understand What My Husband Is Saying: 2nd Thread - Reviews

I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying: 2nd Thread carries on from where the first season ended. This is still the story of a young married couple, who still (despite being married for over a year) find each other inexplicable at times. Here ends the dry description and starts the subjective view.

This series is an honest to god feel-good slice of life show that might exaggerate a bit, but is grounded in realism. I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying: 2nd Thread is the greatest example in anime of a positive adult relationship. The levels of adorable here are so extreme that it usually requires fluffy animals and/or adorable children to match.

I've gone a bit more in depth about last season, but the three minute runtime of each episode means that once you remove the ending credits, you are with about half an hour of content. It is worth every second. I love the characters, and I love how I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying: 2nd Thread parades around just how silly people are about relationships, how supposedly deep advice is actually kind of silly, and how preconceived notions don't really have a lot of place in a relationship after a while.

There are a few moments where the show was a tad more gimmicky than the first season. That's fine. It's still amazing. Watch it now.

It was a pleasant surprise to see another thread of this anime
because I had already a positive opinion regarding it.
It is a short, fun, easy to watch anime.

This review isn't going to be an over all review of the show, but rather an observation ive made that will justify my scoring of this show (for at least the relevant fields).

This second season, now that the flashbacks have ended and the show is resuming from the end of Season one is doing something I feel is very very good.  I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying (both first an dsecond thread) is portraying a VERY real relationship between young adults.

The portrayals of Kaoru and Takeru show both sides of their relationship. Depending on who is in focus, you see their daily life, hear their internal thoughts and see how they deal with difficulty. By seeing how they deal with difficulty, we get to see heir support groups who are in turn the supporting cast of the show.  I think seeing Kaoru and takeru talking to their friends and getting advice for their relationship and life are really important and contribute to how incredibly healthy thier relationship is. 

The problem they face is a real life thing. Their desicion to carry Kaoru's pregnancy to term is a huge new thing for both of them and completely changes how they live their lives. I think this storyline is really important because of how they handle it. They talk to each other, Takeru is worried he wont be a good father so he talks to friends about how to deal with it. 

What gets me a lot is that, aside from some comedic exaggeration, they could be completely real people, and this anime actually does an incredible job of showing how to, really healthily, handle this kind of situation.  I don't know the exact demographic for this anime, but as a 23 year old anime enthusiast (and wildly strange person) I see a collosal amount of myself in Takeru and even a good portion of my girlfriend in Kaoru. seeing Takeru and Kaoru going through with her pregnancy makes a fantastic guide for people my age, especially otaku who might have even more trouble socially, to understanding how to react to something with as much gravity as what they're facing in the anime. 

Studio Seven returned in 2015 to reprise its 2014 short episode rom-com with more of the same. This season explores the couple’s wider relationships with their friends and their partners and runs in parallel, time-wise, to season one. It doesn’t catch up to where season one ends until episode eleven. So those of use wanting to see how this humorous show treated the couple’s impending parenthood were left a little disappointed. Episodes remain a brief three minutes each and they are jam-packed with rapid fire humour that, once again, largely misses the target. It is unclear if the humour requires an intense knowledge of Japanese culture, in general, or anime/manga, specifically… but much of it leaves the audience puzzled. (We felt pretty pleased with ourselves for picking up on the Strike Witches reference when Kaoru criticises her husband Hajime for walking around their apartment without trousers on.)

Other than that, it raises a lot of smiles without yielding too many laugh-out-loud funny moments. Season one had peaked with the couple considering Kaoru’s pregnancy so, with this largely absent from season one, the story gets padded out by trips out bowling and hot-tubbing. It gets a lot of backfill with episodes devoted to marriage insecurities, relationship backstory and other trips down memory lane. Things pick up rapidly with the final episode when Kaoru and Hajime’s friends gather round to help them choose the baby’s name. It is a touching conclusion to a very patchy romantic comedy. We are glad that the story quickly dropped the one-gag concept from the show title to adopt a more well-rounded form of storytelling devoted to a young couple’s journey towards parenthood. Still, it could have been better and too much of the content was fluff. This may well be down to the short episode format. Fun but over all too quickly.

I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying is a cute short anime that centers around the life of a wife (Kaoru) and her husband (Hajime.) They are a newlywed couple, the thing is though Hajime is a complete otaku and Laoru isn't. 

Though I don't usually watch shorts, this one is definitely a charmer because it leaves you feeling like a part of their family instead of someone who was just watching (if you know what I'm talking about you know.) The episodes are usualy three minutes long, I suggest you get hot cocoa to watch with this anime btw.

SPOILER ALERT! Anyway, the story follows the small life of Kaoru and Hajime living their lifes, though Kaoru doesn't quite understand why she got married to Hajime a few episodes later you understand why. She lived most of her adult life thinking that she was going to be alone forever, so she left herself to alcohol, cigarettes, and T.V. Kaoru doesn't do much but work and watch T.V. until she finds Hajime. They go out on a date and end up falling in love with each other.

Once they're married the story goes on, (skipping to the end) Hajime ends up finding out that Kaoru is actually pregnate. 

END OF SPOILERS! In the end I reccomend this anime to people who are looking for an hour to use on this short cute anime. 

For animation, it's good; it's smooth and doesn't strain your eyes when you look at it. For sound, the voice acting on sub is really good, I'm unsure about dubbed though because I didn't exactly watch in dub so.. Lastly for characters, they are all definitely very good and go through charecter development although it's not that long, they also have great personalitys I'm sure that you'd love!

Anyway to wrap it up, overall it's a great, charming anime that will leave you loving it and hoping for the next season.

Cya.
