Hanada Ichiro is an abrasive young man who lives with his hag of a mother, his father the drunk, his grandfather the absent-minded, and his older sister. One sunny afternoon, Ichiro's rebellious antics finally take a turn for the worse, causing him to get hit by a car. When he awakens, he discovers that he has the ability to see ghosts, and converse with them (much to his dismay, since they all seem to want helpful favors). Will Ichiro's newfound ability be a blessing, or just another annoyance in his life?
With a history of leading a motorcycle gang and getting bad grades in school, why would 22 year old Onizuka ever want to become a teacher? Is it to educate young minds or spread the joy of education? Sure, if it involves being able to look up high school girls' skirts! Watch as this would-be educator uses his own life lessons and unconstituted methods as a means to control a delinquent class of students -- students who certainly aren't as happy to have him as a teacher as he is happy to be teaching...
A hero so unlikely and, at first glance, so unlikeable, that he almost makes you cringe with embarassment -- yet a hero nonetheless. This is the common theme of Hanada Shounen-shi and Great Teacher Onizuka. In both stories, we are presented with a low and vulgar person, a person with whom we would never normally associate the idea of heroism. Yet, as the stories progress, both Hanada Ichiro and Onizuka Eichi prove to us that, for all their shortcomings, they have what it takes to be genuine heroes.
If you like one of these anime, don't let your initial distaste for the protagonist of the other dissuade you from seeing it through to the end. You'll thank yourself for staying the course, when you do.
At Ina Middle School, the boys’ Ping Pong Club is seen as more of a joking matter than something worth the school's budget. It doesn't help that they are constantly being outdone by the girls' team and their fiery-tempered coach, as well the fact that most of the boys on the team care more about their ding dongs than their ping pongs! In a desperate attempt to motivate the team, the boys' coach introduces a hot-bodied female manager, who might just bring a sexual tension to the team that could work to their advantage. But can these hopeless boys improve their game enough to emerge victorious at the upcoming tournament and win the prize she's willing to give?
The life of a typical Japanese family is never dull – something the Oosawagi family proves in leaps and bounds. Kotetsu is crude, rude, and high strung; Sakura has poor taste in men; infant Yuuta is as cute as can be; Grandpa Kintetsu is ancient; and the pet chimpanzee is… a chimpanzee?! With creepy neighbors, school bullies and a variety of other problems to deal with, the Oosawagi family will tackle each day one gross and unusual moment at a time!
Hanada Shounen-shi and Super Radical Gag Family are both incredibly gross and spastic looks at a "typical" family. Honestly, I didn't care for either of these, but they are such carbon copies of each other that you'd surely like one if you liked the other. Grossness and low-brow humor are at the epicenter of both series.
Shinnosuke Nohara (aka "Shin-chan") is a crude and rude five-year-old child with a penchant for dirty and inappropriate comments. Whether it's blackmailing his mother for an allowance, dropping his drawers, or snubbing girls at the playground, there's nothing the lecherous Shin-chan can't enjoy. Along with his dysfunctional family and wacky friends, Shin-chan will tackle life's daily problems - one ecchi moment at a time!
It's time for the Hidden Village's annual sports festival, and everyone is vying for the ultimate prize: a week off from participating in missions! Naruto and the gang are all in the running, but Naruto has a small problem: he has to go - BAD! Unfortunately for his bowels, finding a free toilet is an impossible task; and whether it's trying to sneak into the ladies' room or creating clones to take over for him in the games (who, unfortunately, are also experiencing a fecal crisis), nothing Naruto does gets him closer to his goal. He must compete in the games and keep himself from having an accident - can Naruto succeed?
Super Radical Gag Family and Naruto Sports Festival are two rude and crude anime that have a plentiful amount of toilet humor. Naruto is a bit more niche given the franchise it comes from, but if you liked one, you'd probably enjoy the other.
