There is a reason Anne Happy♪ keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Anne Happy♪ land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. The story centers around class 1-7 of Tennomifune Academy, where all the students with "bad karma" or misfortune seem to have been gathered. Hibari, a student in this class, meets the unlucky Hanako and the perennially unhealthy Botan on her first day of school, and together they try to find a way to turn their school life into a happy one. Between them, Haruka Shiraishi and Hibiku Yamamura carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It was aired in 2016. What keeps Anne Happy♪ from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
