Recorder and Randsell



Atsushi Miyagawa is an elementary student who looks like an adult. His older sister Atsumi is a high school student who looks his age. Since they act like you'd expect kids their real ages to act, this can cause... problems.

Recorder and Randsell is a Yonkoma that was adapted into a three-minute anime that began airing in January 2012 and was licensed for simulcast by Crunchyroll.

And if you're wondering, "randsell" refers to the type of backpack Atsushi's wearing.


 * Accidental Pervert: Atsushi trips and falls on top of Moriyama-sensei landing head first between her breasts and his hands on top of them. When Moriyama-sensei runs away in shock, Atsushi is oblivious to what just happened.
 * Adult Child: Atsushi looks like one.
 * Wise Beyond Their Years: Likewise, Atsumi can be mistaken for being this.
 * Big Little Brother
 * The Cameo: Hana and Mayu from Morita-san wa Mukuchi make an appearance in the first episode. While Atsushi and Atsumi makes an appearance in the last episode of the former.
 * Children Are Innocent: Atsushi is too clueless even for a 10-year-old.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Atsumi has her moments, due to her status as the Only Sane Man.
 * Deconstructed Trope: Older Than They Look and Younger Than They Look.
 * Does Not Like Men: Moriyama-sensei.
 * The Faceless: Take-nii
 * Gag Boobs: Moriyama-sensei.
 * I'm Taking Her Home with Me: Saya gives Atsumi this treatment. Atsumi is not amused.
 * Innocent Innuendo: "Yours is too big. It would never fit!"
 * Meganekko: Moriyama-sensei.
 * Mistaken for Pedophile: Confirmed via Word of God.
 * Older Than They Look: Atsumi.
 * Only Sane Man: Atsumi, probably the most reasonable character of the series.
 * Playing Against Type: Double Subverted, Atsumi is uncharacteristically sweet, gentle, kind and mature for a girl who is played by Rie Kugimiya, the queen of immature, violent, tyrannical girls. She is still small though.
 * Ryotaro Okiayu usually plays stoic, cool Bishonen, and while Atsushi certainly is a Bishonen, he acts like (and is) an immature kid.
 * Running Gag: Atsushi being mistaken for a molester.
 * Spoiler Ending
 * Tall, Dark and Handsome: Sayo's ideal man. Atsushi happens to fit her specifications too well.
 * Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Take-nii tends to fall in love with a co-worker at every job, then decide to quit after breaking up with her.
 * Younger Than They Look: Atsushi. While his classmates apparently have no problem with it, the adults actually get grossed out just by the sight of him acting his age.
