Too much yelling for me. Like watching Sket Dance. But on the other hand, some of the gags are pretty funny. The boys reactions to things seem realistic to me. I'd like to take this and mix it half and half with Kimi to Boku.

But as usual for me, the scenes with the girls were the most fun.

[HitokiriShadow]

Zakus with Gundam colors. I... I.... I'm not sure how to react to that.

Anyway, that was.... surprisingly decent. Could have done without the skirt scene, but at least the end with the sister was good. Acting out the classroom scene was actually kind of amusing and the riverbank scene at the end was pretty good.

At the very least, this show didn't put me to sleep like Kimi to Boku and the guys are somewhat likable.

I'll at least give this another episode or two in the hopes that the female characters have a decent amount of screentime (especially with the nice female seiyuu cast this show has), though I imagine the lack of that will also be my primary frustration with the show.

Episode 1:

- Okay, the opening gag was sort of half-funny half-not, but I really liked the "We go to an all boys school." punchline.
- "That's my little sister's panties!" o_O
- Hah! This is getting better. The lead being tricked into wearing the skirt by himself was fantastic. Now if only his sister would return.
- SPEAKING OF. Hahahah.
- We're not going to see her face, are we? Same with the other two in the OP I guess.

- Mass vomiting. o_O

- Hahah, I didn't have much opinion of Hidenori either way at first, but Sugita Tomokazu is getting such a fantastic Kyon-like internal monologue right now. He's acting it exactly like that. that reminds me just how much I miss his monologues... *monogatari's Koyomi helps fill in the gap, but Sugita's voice is just so great for it.
- Hahaha, she was acting out her story. :sd: She SOOOOOOO has to come back. That was hilarious.

That ended up being far, far better than I expected. Some jokes were duds, but a few were damn good. This show has potential.

[HitokiriShadow]

Needs more Bungaku Shoujou and Yukana Ojou-sama.

Needs fewer "Stealing imouto's underwear" skits.

Looks like the only girls who's faces don't get shown are the sisters.

[strangefour]

-Surprise colony invasion!
-Quick read the manual for the giant robot sav-- whut? Dragon Warrior. :(
-No giant robots? This show lost me after 2 minutes.

-Equip Skirt!
-Perverts don't stop.

-Three chopsticks are scary?
-AAAAH! Nipple trauma. :cry:

-Maximum virgin power...

-Hehehe. Okay now this show is batting a thousand with an awkward time trying to talk to a girl.
-Nice right hook literary girl.
-Poor girl.

This school could stand to be a little more Cromartie like. Definietly needs more fretting over girls and silly silent writer girl.

[pathos]

Needs fewer "Stealing imouto's underwear" skits.

Out of the show, thats probably the only part thats a miss for me. Although, even that part has some funny lines in it as well.

The ed and the oujou had me rolling particularly.

If a class of high school guys wrote, provided materials, and performed a play, with 0 supervision, I can't think of any other way for it to turn out :sweat:

Heh, and same for hiring high school guys as butlers. What a disaster that would be :D

[Suwako Moriya]

To battle Zakus, we need the power of Dragon Quest.

It wasn't a half-bad episode, but I could have done without that segment requiring a stronger stomach. Ah, well.

[strangefour]

-These guys act like they are in elementary school or just massive nerds.
-Oh hi Mid-boss (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5aThJq4Xvo&t=1m50s).
-The legendary blade only brings shame.

-Meanwhile at Pizza Hut.
-Convex Nago is genki.

-A wild imouto appears. Tadakuni take 150 points of damage.
-Yeah sure the bra just disap... (<____<; )
-Hi literary girl. Bye literary girl. :(
-IMOUTO JUMP! IMOUTO KIIIIIICK!

-Literary girl vs Yankee.
-He wanted to flirt with his sister?

-Mecha Shiva.
-1984!
-Principal Bullshit fails.

-I like the yankee's sister's cranky voice.

-IMOOOOOOOUTOOO!

-Dumbest school play ever.

-Ladies have butlers, bad attitudes, and false teeth.

That was better. More scatter shot short comedy.

[Suwako Moriya]

Are we sure this is about High School Boys?

The sisters are interesting even if we can't see their faces.

I think the real fun was near the end with the lady. Wouldn't mind more of her.

[HitokiriShadow]

Well, so much for only the sisters having their eyes hidden. All of the girls at the beach had the same thing going on. So now it appears that just select girls DON'T have their eyes hidden for no apparent reason.

The end of the train segment was cute and the post credits scene was awesome. I want that show instead.

The rest of the episode was pretty dull, with only the radio show segment being even slightly amusing.

[strangefour]

-Clouds: the Animated Series.
-Highschool boys have to spend their summer vacations with other boys because all the girls are being all moe at a beach somewhere owned by an oujo-sama's family.
-Karasawa wins! But in winning might lose his life.

-Umeeeee~~~

-Onsen...
-Obama.

-Radio.
-Dear Square-Enix, Please replace this lame radio show with a Watashi ga Motenai nowa Do Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui radio drama. Sincerly, Iguana Don.

-Mole hair is the key to loneliness.

-Oh the horrible play is the actual ending.

-Girl be funky, yo.
-Rule 63 to show the inadequacies of men.

Poor unpopular boys. The teasing girls segment isn't going to help guys. Even doing it as a joke to point out that any damn show with cute girls does well and that a show about only high school boys would not be fun to watch. It's not irony. It's a sad fact.

[something]

Episode 2:

- Heh, all I could think while watching the opening bit was "what about their bags?" And yeah, they forgot them. :sd:
- Literary girl's scene was much too short. ;_;

...Hmm. Wasn't as enjoyable as the first ep. Book girl is the best, followed by Tadakuni's sister. But I don't much feel like watching ep 3 right now, which means I probably won't get around to watching more.

[HitokiriShadow]

If nothing else, you need to see the post-credits scene in episode 3. On that note, did you see the one for episode 2?

Yeah. Liked the girl but the butlers' gags didn't do much for me.

::watches ep 3 bit:: Yeah I'd probably stick with it longer if we were watching that show instead.

[something]

any damn show with cute girls does well
The sales figures of hundreds of low-to-terribly performing shows would disagree quite strongly with that.

[HitokiriShadow]

Ringo-chan! My precious Yuuki Aoi character finally appears. And then she pretty much dominates the episode. "I don't what I won, but I won!" You won the episode, Ringo-chan.

Ikushima, the twintailed girl from the post-ED segment last episode, returns for a highly amusing scene with Yoshitake.

And then we get another post-ED High School Girls segment, and its even better than the first. Ikushima and Yanagin screaming at Yasunori was particularly hilarious.

Awesome episode is awesome. THIS is what the show should have been since the beginning.

[strangefour]

-A girls with faces. What is this oddity?
-Tea is served.
-Organized boy set an unfair example for slovenly highschool girls.
-Poor crazy Ringo-chan.

-One eyed catgirls? Go to the one eyed catgirl booth!
-Knockoff Keroro Gunsou cosplay. Huh.
-Victory by penis.

-No K-ON for you. Please enjoy the battle of the sexes.
-Oh BGM, that works.
-Ringo wins. Fatality?

-The crazy ending now has more context. That just makes it crazier.

-Hey Toshiyuki! Why don't you die?
-Wow these girls are angry as hell.
-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
-Highschool girls are primative apes.

The first segment is forgettable, but the rest of the episode was fun. Insane girls clashing with our weird boys. Bring on more screaming rabid girls.

[HitokiriShadow]

Motoharu's torment is my gain.

Ringo-chan returns! And continues to be hilarious. The guys' thoughts after they were beaten up were pretty amusing too. "We had to do it because he'd be so embarrassed if he found out she knew us."

Then you can see Ringo-chan and the guys (along with the cook girl and her guy) in the background at the beginning of the next scene.

Whatshisname got bullied in the past and was saved by Ultraman and ZZZZZzzzzzzzZZzzzzz........

Literature girl finally returns! And makes some incredibly amusing faces. Especially that very first one. :3 I'm pretty sure that walking up to high school guys to hear them recite "cool" lines is how she masturbates.

This episode's High School Girls segment wasn't as good as the previous ones but is still leagues beyond anything in the show that doesn't have a female character in it.

[HitokiriShadow]

Poor Habara, Flat Chest, guys will pay to NOT have to go out with you. Though it turns out he has good reason. Habara is the most laid back and sane one now (though that's not saying much considering who her companions are), but she was a demon when she was younger.

The Ringo-chan segment was good as usual, and this one gave Ao-chan even more opportunities to have fun than normal.

Then some new, unnamed girl appears and doesn't do much other than sit there and laugh, but she was pretty amusing.

The Tadakuni's Imouto part was okay.

[HitokiriShadow]

Not one of the best High School girls segments but it was pretty funny. The second question felt particularly appropriate considering the childhood friend character in the current Gundam AGE generation didn't know what a fucking mobile suit was when she first appeared.

Oh, we actually get a name for one of the sisters: Mei is the imouto who was a repeat victim of underwear.

..... I'm not sure what to think about the Literature Girl segment in this episode.

As usual, the segments that lacked girls were consistently completely unfunny. It's kind of impressive how the show that's supposed to be a comedy about high school boys can be a decent to good comedy with most segments that have at least one girl (though the teacher one in this episode was pretty meh), but consistently falls completely flat when its just the guys.
