Like I have said before on Melative… I complained continuously on Inami’s fear of men… it is becoming really ridiculous that her Arrhenphobia have been going on so long and over exaggerated to a point where it’s becoming a major flaw in WORKING!!. After seeing so many times of Inami punching men, I came up with this conclusion after watching Episode 5:
Inami isn’t WORKING!! for me anymore… stop punching… it’s getting really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really old.
That is right, Inami is becoming my least favorite character because of this. I mean, I would want to like her character, but it’s becoming flawed because of her extreme Arrhenphobia and the tendency of punching them. Well if she does this in real life… I don’t think they would tolerate it that much. She will probably get fired for punching all those male customers and even get arrested for assault and do some time in jail, which is something that I wouldn’t like to see.
Unlike Working!!, K-ON! is still working for me since they don’t have this annoying running gag that makes it old. Working!! is not like K-ON! and the jokes are really getting old. Not only Inami’s overwhelming fear of men, it is falling into the hole of never ending jokes that have been used over and over again and not being fresh. Working!! is supposed to be the Anime that moves away from the usual school setting, but weaknesses like the running gag of punching men and some others I haven’t mention that it is rapidly reducing it’s strengths it had with the setting. Despite this, it still managed to give me several laughs, but they really need to get some more fresh jokes soon or it will be in a pool of disappointment. The only characters that don’t disappoint me are Popura, Kyouko and Yachiyo.
I still wonder, if we get Aoi-chan to go to that resturant, would Inami punch him? Not likely because (s)he is a TRAP! When Inami finds out that she is a male… she will punch him like she did with all the male customers… Seriously now… Inami… Get over your fear of men… NOW!

Haha, good observation.
Yea, the gags are repetitive, and it’s best to take them lightly and not as “highlights.” They are simply there.
Moderation is key… I have wished they haven’t overdone it… but yea… it will take some time, but she will get over it. If she doesn’t by the end of the season, I will do a big facepalm.
I don’t really mind the running gag much, but it is slowly getting old, simply because it’s not that good of a running gag. Natsu no Arashi had the salt guy, and I thought that was done really well, because the salt guy was kind of just mentioned on the side very briefly. I loved the salt guy. But whenever Inami comes along, it’s always:
“I’m going to try hard this time!” …. *PUNCH* …. runs away.
I mean, for a main character, it doesn’t work. I think it could still be funny at times though.
the first thing that I thought of when she was introduced was: What if a guy is dressed like a girl? What would she do? I think that the main guy character (I always forget his name, I’m not even going to try and remember it), should reveal his baby picture. This might make Inami more sympathetic/less afraid. Said main character has awesome sisters as well, who need to get more involved in the anime.

From the look of the next episode preview… it is about his sisters, but I can’t give any assumptions as the episode won’t air until next week.
On the plus side, it makes for a good drinking game. Do a shot everytime Inami punches Souta, or a sip of beer everytime Inami punches anyone/anything and you’ll get hammered.

Pretty fun idea, except I don’t drink because it causes cancer and stuff… Nasty stuff in the family…
The Inami punch got old on the second episode IMO
Aoi-chan will fill any restaurant with the flowers that just radiate from her. Ideal manager~
