Overview

Set in Arakawa,Tokyo, the series entails the story of Kou Ichinomiya, a man who has accomplished everything by himself. Ever since he was little, his father has taught him one rule: to never be indebted to another person. One day by accident, he falls into the Arakawa River and almost drowns. A homeless girl, Nino, rescues him and, in return, he owes her his life. Unable to accept the fact that he is indebted to her, he asks her about a way for him to repay her. In the end, she tells him to love her, beginning Kou's life of living under a bridge (Arakawa Bridge). However, as Kou starts to learn, Arakawa is a place full of weirdos and all of the people living under the bridge are what society would call "denpa-san".

Compared to the brain-numbing plot, the ending is even more brain-numbing.

They left the end completely open:

What's with the rocket that was shown in the episode of season 1?
Who is the mysterious guardian (pakka?) Nino?
What's with her original fate anyway? That bed, those quality dresses?
Did I understand correctly that all these freaks surround Nino for a reason?

A fucking ending.

Gintama got me hooked on the absurd humor and inappropriate behavior in anime. When I met something like this in Nizemonogatari, I realized that I want more and I want a lot! Fortunately, it turned out that there is still such a thing. For example, Arakawa! The anime has been gathering dust on my hard drive since its release, I've read and heard a lot of good reviews, but I still couldn't get it together. I had even seen a little drama, so I was prepared from all sides. But they still shocked, surprised, and made me laugh. Needless to say, I instantly fell in love with my Sister (a former military man in nun's clothes, unrequited in love with the troll xDDD), whom I appreciated for her resemblance to Araragi-kun and Natsume's voice. The comedy is amazing, I didn't miss a single episode, but it seemed to me that Ko joined this crazy company too quickly, in the second season he was no longer perceived as a civil. I really want a sequel (the manga keeps coming out and coming out) because it all ended out of the blue. Although I'm not particularly interested in what will happen with Venus, I liked the minor characters more, Shiro, the Last Samurai, the Parrot and the Bee – that's whose stories I'm waiting for to continue! Onegaaaaaaaaay

Gravity makeup is so gravitational))) But the Star line/Amazon looks pretty good.

And when it came to his Sister and he decided to play along with the others - God, it's priceless)
