This anime is extremely cute.

I love everything about it. Of course, if you're looking for action this is not the place to be and many have called this anime boring. I disagree. This anime is about Tanaka, and Tanaka is listless so what you expect? Watching his efforts to get through everyday tasks with minimal effort is very entertaining to me, and if you like that sort of thing, this show is for you.

The characters are really cute and lovable, which is helped by their character design. Oota is like a mother figure to Tanaka, and their interactions form the basis of the show, without giving off the impression that the other characters are unimportant. 

There's subtle humour in this anime, I feel like it flows easily throughout and there's no overused/exended jokes to get bored of. However there was nothing that really made me cry laughing, so I don't think the comedy is what has attracted me to Tanaka-kun. More than anything, I think this anime makes me happy because of the characters and the pretty animations, as well as the soothing atmosphere - helped by the music, which is always fitting with the mood.

Overall I would definitely recommend this to slice of life lovers, or people who'd enjoy a happy and relaxing anime, but it is not for everyone. So, if you're looking for something that is super thrilling with lots of fan service; you've probably come to the wrong place.
