REVIEW: ‘See You Tomorrow At The Food Court’ Is A Delightful Slice-Of-Life

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court, produced by AtelierPontdarc, learns about the lives of high schoolers Wada (Hiyori Miyazaki) and Yamamoto (Yoshino Aoyama, Wuthering Waves) from their favorite booth at the food court. From food preferences to gacha game obsessions, the pair looks at much of their lives as they support and heckle each other throughout the season.. 

As essentially the only two characters in the entire show, everything rides on Wada and Yamamoto. Their chemistry, voice acting, and writing need to be top-notch if See You Tomorrow at the Food Court hopes to hold its audience’s attention.

The writing delivers everything the pair needs to work wonderfully. Wada’s endless energy and Yamamoto’s chill outlook craft a balanced pairing that creates a dynamic that is easy to appreciate. While the duo doesn’t bring anything new to the familiar opposites-attract character paradigm, they execute it effortlessly, reminding us why it’s such a classic trope. 

The opposites-attract pairing proves once again to be the best kind of trope when done right.

Both characters are further enhanced thanks to strong voice work. Miyazaki and Aoyama both come to create rich voices for their respective characters. Mizayaki’s ability to handle Wada’s often rapidly changing emotions is particularly notable. 

The story topics See You Tomorrow at the Food Court explores through its protagonists are varied and insightful. From classic high school struggles like dealing with classmates’ preconceptions about them, to how relationships change people, the duo dives into some hefty territory, though never too deeply. This maintains a light atmosphere that is generally more comfortable than serious. 

When not exploring the meaning of high school life, the pair heckles and prods each other over a variety of topics. From Wada’s addiction to a gacha game to Yamamoto’s love of all things American, the duo’s chats bring out each other’s interests and question them, with an assurance that only friends can have. 

Keeping things light helps maintain the series’ slice-of-life atmosphere.

While the topics explored range from humorous to insightful, there is another element that the series utilizes to keep each episode from growing stale.  That is a quick, in-and-out narrative structure.

Each episode consists of three to four short stories. By breaking up each episode, See You Tomorrow at the Food Court never overstays its welcome and creates convenient moments to reset the plot. The opening episodes are collections of unrelated encounters as they introduce you to the girls and catch you up on their likes and dislikes. These early stories do a great job of building out the pair’s lore while disguising it in fun moments. 

The last couple of episodes continue to break up their run times, but the entries are more connected than before. Exploring evolving situations, these last couple of episodes bring the series to a fulfilling conclusion as we see the pair growing into more than they may realize. If you are an ardent shipper, how this season leaves Wada and Yamamoto will make it worth the watch on its own. It is one of the better wrap-ups I’ve seen for a show with no concrete plot to speak of. 

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court makes great use of its ‘food court’ setting.

Still from See You Tomorrow At The Food Court

A huge part of what makes See You Tomorrow at the Food Court work is its commitment to only being at the food court. Only a few moments exist outside this space. The singular focus on the girls in their preferred locale helps both them and their setting become familiar much faster than would be possible otherwise. Allowing the audience to absorb everything the series has to offer without the distraction of guest characters or shifting locations. 

The one spot that feels lackluster at times is the animation. It manages to deliver the characters’ emotions good, but the line work often looks rough. While this style can work at times, here it gives the visuals an incomplete feeling that can be distracting. However, it never falls short enough to get in the way of the best parts of the series; it just doesn’t always augment them as much as one would hope. 

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court delivers a quirky, fun slice-of-life that offers viewers a seat at the comfest booth in the food court. Wada and Yamamoto bring a wonderful, balanced chemistry to the show that allows for both meaningful character exploration and ridiculous fun. This makes it a small but fun surprise from this summer’s anime season. 

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court is streaming now on Crunchyroll.
