If you haven’t watched the show, this list will probably mean nothing to you, but Joshikousei has turned out to be a rather good Slice of Life show that started from humble fanservice beginnings to turn out to be a well rounded and interesting single season anime.

When I first started watching Joshikousei, I expected it to just be a shallow fanservice fluff show, but after the fanservice left, there are a lot of things in the show that holds it up without fanservice ^_^…

Great thing number 1: Shimotakatani-kun. (He has a funny name)

Great thing number 2: Starting Skits. (Especially the Maria-sama ga miteru one) – It’s great to have an anime that doesn’t take itself seriously ^_^.

Great thing number 3: One Liners – Yuma – “Don’t come near! I’m expelling water from inside”

Great thing number 4: Realistic High School life – Girls that worry about pubic hair plucking, periods and boys. Relationships that aren’t portrayed as the love of his or her life. Desperately trying to lose your virginity – That is the spirit of High School!

Great thing number 5: Ogawa (though she should be a super loli who is more experienced than everyone else) – mainly because she is addicted to vitamin drinks and drugs guys to not have sex with her. Priceless.

Great thing number 6: Lesbian yaoi – The only actually gay couple in the school acting like Ouran High School Host Club. Oh how I laughed…

Great thing Number 6 – Eri and Kouda’s Boke/Tsukkomi. It fits them so well O_o

Great thing number 7: Mamiko Noto randomly playing secretly pervy meganekko. She really gets around these days ^_^;;

Trust a female mangaka to take high school life, and nail it square on with an extra pinch of OTT comedy.

Orz.

    Yeah I like it a lot. I have a perchant for sick, crude and silly comedy. This one’s interesting since there’s no silly cheese romance except the hilarious Shimotakatani-kun x Ayano. Haha.
