A war that ends up being comical, witty, and in some cases: thought-provoking because of the strategies and tactics. It’s an anime about love, romance, and the war between the main characters. But it’s nowhere near as crazy or extreme. Kaguya Sama shares similarities with Compulsive Gambler. It’s one of the best action/school anime of the last decade. And that’s how she ends up at the school of Honnouji Academy. Ryuko Matoi is on the hunt for her fathers killer. With the other major difference being it’s based in school, but the action is just as flashy. I’d call it the “male” version of something like K-On, but without the Moe and Kawaii designs and episodes.ĭragon Ball Z. But that’s not to say you can’t see the humour in it if you’re a woman. The comedy is gender specific, after all, it’s about high school boys and how they live their daily lives. the 2nd episode and everything beyond that. And that’s obvious from the first episode. Especially not with the same style.ĭaily Lives Of High School Boys is about the dumbest sh*t boys get up to in school. And it has a unique plot a lot of anime don’t explore.

Hyouka is one of Kyoto Animation’s best anime. One character: Eru Chitanda is extremely curious, and the other: Oreki is the mastermind. The main characters turn the silliest sh*t into mini investigations they all work together to uncover and find out the truth of. Except Hyouka makes those “boring” topics interesting and entertaining. Hyouka is a reflection of the boring things you can get up to in school. And with 2 seasons with a 3rd in need of adapting. Misunderstandings, daft humor, character progression, twists, it has it all. You have Tenma, who’s an air head, simple, but has a big heart and makes the comedy light up.Īnd there’s Harima, a manga artist who evolves from being a delinquent in his past life. Even now the comedy is still refreshing and the characters are legit.

School Rumble is an old school classic by today’s standards. It takes a lot for an anime to force you to like it, regardless of how it starts and how the characters’ personalities fit into the plot. But the comedy, the feels, the story and how it develops are priceless. It’s the type of anime that has characters who will piss you off, and episodes that will raise your blood pressure. Later I came back to it and gave it another try, and haven’t regretted it ever since.

The constant physical abuse from the main female character to the male character was irritating. Toradora is an anime I started out hating. No outrageous fan service, lewd episodes or dumb over the top humour that tries its best to make you laugh.Įverything flows naturally in Saiki K, and it’s special considering how clean it is in general. But no one pays it any mind because he’s causing them not to with his abilities. The funny thing about this slice of life/comedy is Saiki K speaks telepathically, without once using his mouth. But one way or another people are drawn to him. It’s about a psychic who’s introverted and wants to be left alone to do his own thing. Saiki K is where I’ll start because I don’t know too many school anime that surpass it. Here are some anime I’ve watched that you should give a go for different reasons. With the school genre being one of the 5 or so biggest anime genres it’s no surprise. At least every season you can expect to see a new high school anime one way or another.
