Some shows try to replicate very specific experiences. When I was in high school, whenever my friends and I were in class, we always went to the local deli or a card shop, one or two trains away from our school. After a long day of dealing with the teacher, it was great to be happy to avoid everything for ourselves before we got home and started our homework. I’m happy to sit down, order some McDonald’sand talk about anything random popping up all day. This is not unique to me and my childhood friends. If you’ve experienced some faxes throughout your life, then I think See you tomorrow at the food court Because it perfectly encapsulates the experience.
Food Court Very simple, this is both its greatest advantage and its greatest weakness. There are no grand stories, not even too many conflicts. Each plot is divided into multiple parts, each plot represents a different day in the food court. We got some flashbacks or citations for schools like schools, and the food court does take place in shopping malls that have other stores, but most of the shows will be held at that food court. A large part of the show seems to be in both clues always sitting on the same table. In this regard, it is impressive that the show stands out from its limited locations.
A lot of it depends on the director, which will do your best to make things very moving. We had some fun facial expressions and some occasional quirky movements, especially from Wada, who was outspoken about both. The show will rely on many visual clips and prompts to interrupt certain conversations or punch-hole lines. I like the visual gag behind the poster board on their usual tables seems to change every chapter, and there is an interesting visual gag, the side characters always talk about but not shown. I like to cut the camera between different body parts and different angles in the same position to help the conversation become more attractive. There isn’t a lot of music because a lot of it is a regular style instrument like flutes in the background, and I think it should be hammered home with a sense of daily life. But this sounds a bit like elevator or placeholder music and nothing is added outside making sure the scene doesn’t remain silent. The show would be better if the music is getting less and less and more of the general background noise of the food court, but it could be a bit distracting.
The selling point of the show is the conversation between our two clues. Food Court Its contrast ratio is very typical. We have Wada, who exudes a more typical student look. But she is the louder, more talkative person between the two. If anything, she is the one who usually initiates conversations and tends to hone in trivial or wild topics. Although Yamamoto is Gyaru and very stylish, his spoken language is softer. She is usually a ridiculous person who calls on Wada to promote herself, sometimes giving a point for a joke setting. Sometimes, there are two switch characters, but you do feel like these two are the classic comedy duo you find in many other Japanese comedies. This means the show’s main attraction will come down to how powerful their conversation is. Personally, when the conversation turns into something more personal and relevant, like trying to get your favorite character in the Gacha game, complaining about other people in school or talking about your OSHI online, it’s time for the show to be at its best. There was never a single laugh at me throughout the six episodes, but things could become surprisingly wholesome and I found myself smiling throughout the process.
The problem is that even at its best it does not provide anything that has a particular impact. I did have a relatively pleasant time in the series, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I had a week or two from now on. It tends to be attractive for relatively mundane settings, but the problem of problems sometimes feels too mundane. The problem with being too mundane is that in the end, you’re not as interesting as the rest of the day. Like meeting friends, there is a relaxing cathartic component in the show, but like the food court itself, it feels like a pit stop and then go for something better or more fun.
In many ways, the show accomplishes everything it wants, but I don’t think it’s much compared to other life shows. In other shows I recommended earlier, conversations and themes are usually smaller parts of larger locals. The character dynamics are cute and the presentation is solid. I also like that the show seems to be self-aware enough to not appreciate its welcome with a relatively short run time. But it feels like the show you keep in the background, not the show you actively participate in. If you are looking for wholesome background noise, then I can recommend it at this level, but otherwise, your time will be better spent elsewhere.
