This series plays the cards dealt closest to their chest... not too often does it miss a beat to make fun of Atsushi for his adult-like appearance, throwing in gags of flashing the public and the occasional jab at child molestation. Pretty classy stuff. Even so, the few scenes that pad those other jokes out are just simply alright, at best. The entire ordeal, despite trying to play the best it can in the time allotted, comes off as underwhelming and just really not worth the effort of seeking it out on Crunchyroll or the 42 MB.

Looking at the positives, like the spot-on voice acting of Ryotaro Okiayu that matches a young boys mannerisms perfectly (sans the actual voice) and an alright ED song, and I still feel as if at this point that Recorder to Randoseru is just, well... mediocre. With the infinitely better PoyoPoyo running at around three minutes this season, if your simply looking for a quick fix of cute and funny gags, then sadly Recorder will just not do.
