Ever wonder what it is like to work in a restaurant where each co-worker is quirky/weird in some way? Then boy, do I have a dish for you.

Based on the Popura ongoing restaurant series, this show tries to offer the same laughs and quirky romances. Falls a bit short from its predecessors but still enjoyable. Puns intended.

Remember Working? Remember how each character was absolutely weird and crazy in their own way? Remember watching these same characters grow and develop over three seasons? Remember totally not tearing up when the first OP started playing during the finale? If you said yes to any of these questions, be prepared to act like WWW.Working doesn't exist!

After three seasons and a forty-five minute special, Working!! ended perfectly. All the characters we'd come to know and love had achieved their goals. Everything was wrapped up in a big, tight bow. It was an amazingly satisfying goodbye to Wagnaria and the freaks running it.

But then, because you can never make too much money, WWW.Working came along. WWW.Working has the same premise as Working, except it's at a different Wagnaria with different characters. At first I was optimistic. It's a new cast, a fresh start. These concepts have succeeded before. Well, this one didn't.

The problem with this show is that it's trying to capture the magic of its predecessor way too hard and in a third of the time. The jokes aren't funny and the story is a mess because it moves way too fast, but at the same time, not at all. Seriously, at six episodes, a year and a half has passed.

None of the main characters are original, they're just slightly different versions of the characters from the first series (A character literally buys a katana, just because) The characters that are slightly original are wasted on boring subplots (eg. The cook with black hair and the girl that apparently can see ghosts) or infuriatingly annoying (eg. The poor Host guy and the "Random=Funny" cook)

The protagonist, Higashida, is painfully dull. Yeah, Takanashi was oddly obsessed with small cute things, but that was what kept him interesting and funny. Higashida's main character trait is just that he's a douche.

I tried to keep watching this series, but I couldn't. A year and a half has passed and nothing has happened. If you liked Working!! but want more, without the humor, watch this show!
