This is the show you put on when your jaw has been clenched for nine hours and you need something that asks nothing of you. Season three keeps the exact machinery intact: Morishita Hiromi's four-panel rhythm from the Young Jump strip, an elementary schooler named Ashibe, a seal pup named Goma-chan who cannot be reasoned with, and a punchline every couple of minutes because that is how gag panels breathe. Thirty-two episodes of short-form nothing, and the nothing is the point. Nobody grows, nobody learns, nobody dies, Goma-chan squeaks and the family absorbs it. Two years after the first run and it still knows that the funniest thing on earth is a small boy explaining his logic to an animal that will never care.

Ashibe, an elementary school boy, returns with his family, his friends and his pet white sea lion for another run of short comedic episodes about everyday life. The 2018 entry is the franchise's third season, adapted from Morishita Hiromi's four-panel comic strip that ran in Young Jump. Across 32 brief episodes, the show sticks to light slice-of-life humor built around ordinary days.
