You're not even missing like, subtitle references to the other series or anything like that if you jump in with this one. I was looking for them but couldn't find any.

Working and Servant x Service are really good tho so watch em!!

She growls as she storms the stadium
A villain mean and rough
And the cops all shake and quiver and quake
as she stabs them with her cuffs
Where is the Yamada expy?
And Poplar?

So far, the most promising thing is that unlike the impression the manga left with me, the cast definitely feels different from the original once they've been put into motion. Still can't unsee the old characters in some of the new, though. The biggest surprise is how they made not-Inami actually feel unique despite sharing basically all of her traits. The manga definitely didn't give off that feeling.

The only real similarity between Inami and the new girl is that they're violent, and even then it's for completely different reasons.

That, and the similar hair style and colour.

It's a shame the "dad(tousan)'s company went bankrupt(tousan)" pun didn't translate very well.

I can't stop seeing Ojou's hairstyle as a short cut + some thing she's wearing on her shoulders:



And I wonder whether this is just a reference, or if she actually has a katana:

I haven't read the manga, but I imagine they could come off pretty similar in the manga, at least early on, given the author's penchant for sameface, the similar hair, and a bland translation that masks differences in how they talk.

Between this and Otoo-san, I think the author really likes dad puns.

I haven't watched any of the previous Working animes, but gave this one a go and it looks good. Maybe I should also watch the others.

They're better than this. This is okay. Servant x Service was better than both.

I laughed more at this one episode than any other non-Working show this year so it's okay by me.

All comedies take a few episodes to get great. This one was actually a lot better than I was expecting.

people have complained about every single first episode of a working season and the fwiggen milquetoast servant x service certainly isn't better

People on these forums are really biased towards favoring Servant x Service because the characters aren't high schoolers.

theyre not high schoolers in working either theres only the three

The three (or four depending on how you argue) are very central characters. The high school kids in SxS are very much not the direct focus of the plot.
