Food Court de, Mata Ashita.

Food Court is what happens if you take the Choco-Coronet scene from Lucky Star and stretch it to about 20 minutes for 6 episodes straight. It is literally just two girls talking about stuff in one location, and the premise doesn't change one bit. It is the anti-CGDCT show, and I absolutely adore it.

Part of it stems from how real the show feels. It's uncanny how just about any scene from the show resembles something I've lived through. I've had dumb conversations with my friends that went nowhere, went somewhere, or even had some heart-to-hearts out of nowhere in random locations coming right out of ... nowhere. Wada especially, it feels as if someone has been secretly recording aspects of my life and is broadcasting it all for the world to see. It is eerie, to say the least, but also comforting knowing that many people lived through a similar life to the lives of Wada and Yamamoto as depicted in the show.

Look, the premise is just one terminally online shitposter girl with a terrible attitude and her very reasonable friend having random conversations with each other. It is such a surprisingly novel concept you don't see replicated too much in anime, but these things are dime a dozen on places like Youtube, where you can hang out with your not-really friends for 20 minutes or so and just reminisce on better times. I don't know how this thing got greenlit for an anime, but I'm forever grateful it did.

In a way, it's the closest we'll ever get to seeing My Dinner with Andre in anime form. And as Martin Prince would do so in the Simpsons, I'll always firmly point my joystick towards "Tell Me More".

Now, if you'll excuse me, I probably need to talk to a very old friend I've lost contact with after I moved here.

8/10

While most slice-of-life anime blend with other genres to create the foundation of their stories, See You Tomorrow at the Food Court makes slice-of-life its strong point: forget convoluted plots and hyper-complex characters, because the show is exactly what its title suggests: two girls meeting at the food court to chat about whatever crosses their minds.

As you might guess, the plot is very simple, and the centre of attention is the interactions between Wada and Yamamoto, two high school girls. Most of the situations presented are entertaining and able to bring a smile to your face.

The two main characters are developed enough to make their ... conversations feel natural and make you care about them over the course of the anime. This wasn’t a given, considering that they mostly talk about trivial things, and it shows that the dynamic between Wada and Yamamoto works pretty well.

The production quality is solid, though not groundbreaking, and the heavy lifting is actually done by the VAs, who have all done a great job (especially Wada’s voice actress).

So, why does this review have a “mixed feeling” tag?
Because its simplistic slice-of-life nature will probably make it uninteresting to most people, who may find it lacking in substance.
If you're a fan of the slice-of-life genre (like me), See You Tomorrow at the Food Court will be a great watch.
If not, it is unlikely that you will appreciate it.

Score: 7.5

See you tomorrow at the Food Court is an anime about an unlikely duo that hangs out at the KFC in some local food court place ( the whole thing might as well be a KFC ad ). What brings the duo together is them being outcasts in their own classes so now they meet up at this food court and mostly just talk about random stuff. The gyaru is a totally hot ( especially with the brown hair ) and sweet as can be but the other girl pretends to be your average Japanese school girl but is in reality quite a bitch with ... otaku tendencies. The topics at hand are sometimes quite random and the quality and laughs that might come with them arrange from relatable and funny to completely random and dull. All in all you could say this is just your average slice of life anime where you don't miss anything if you decide to pass on it. The most baffling of all is that the anime is only 6 episodes long and just ends without a proper conclusion. That ultimately just makes it a forgettable experience.

But I'll say once more, that gyaru is hot.
