In Summary:
Best Student Council is a really fun series. There is a lot of humor and charm to the way that life at Miyagami Academy is presented. While the serious aspects slowed things down for me, they were a small enough part that they certainly did not ruin it in anyway. From start to finish, Best Student Council was a joy to watch, and I think it is something that anybody could get into. Recommended.

This is a really fun, humorous series to watch. I didn't expect much from it and it turned out to be enjoyable.

...and where is the cover art? It can be found here (http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.php?t=87078).

[Suwako Moriya]

Best Student Council has quite the cast leading to a rather fun series over all. Hmm I need to finishing streaming the dub version sooner or later.

[The Great Bear]

I got this show, though I decided in the end to go for the sharply reduced singles from Right Stuf.

I'd already seen the first 4 or so episodes a while back on TAN, and it was an amusing enough show that I decided to get it all.

In my opinion, the best thing about this set is that it made the singles cheaper to pick up as I already bought vol 1 and 2 and it was a show that fell by the wayside. It's too good a show for that to happen.

The show needed more yuri. They should have made it more like Strawberry Panic.

[TornadoTatsumaki]

Needed more yuri? I thought the light Shoujo-Ai theme worked quite well.

Looking forward to the thinpack soon(Oni-Con here I come!)

For some reason this is a show that went under the radar. Very good show that isn't to be missed, especially if you like school themed series with a bit of comedy a bit of drama and a large cast of very likable characters.

Got a little bit slow during the middle to end portions of the show and it lost a bit of its story telling momentum, but the final episodes more than made up for it. The last 3 episodes were my favorite. :)

Despite a few flaws -- as Mark (reviewer) said, indeed from start to finish, a joy to watch.
