Overflow

Overflow has built a real following among viewers who do not usually seek out animation. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. 88 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. The visual style is immediately recognisable, but the writing is what keeps you watching. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Overflow is worth clearing space for. The look of Overflow gets people in the door, but the writing is what keeps them there. Kazushi Sudou is a university student who is visited by his two childhood friends, the sisters Ayane and Kotone Shirakawa. When Ayane discovers that Kazushi not only forgot to buy her pudding but is also using her special lotion in the bath, she decides to take revenge and join Kazushi in his bath along with Kotone. Will the perverted Kazushi be able to remain indifferent to them both? Mai Kadowaki and Tomoe Tamiyasu bring voice work that does more than the format usually asks for. It first aired in 2020. The visual gags in Overflow reward close attention without ever depending on it. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you have been sleeping on Overflow because of the format, the format is not the issue here. Fans of Ao-chan Can't Study! Will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Mai Kadowaki's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.
