A Japanese high school can be a strange place – or so it’s been told. However, as critical thinking is not the strong point of our freshman heroine Eriko, even the most outrageous stories are likely to come true. Going through the motions of high school life with a flair and panache that can only be gawked at, Eriko and her old and new friends set a new (low) standard for the typical coming of age drama. Cry with them as they fight adversity and learn the importance of trust and friendship in this cruel, cruel world; laugh with them during the incomparable happiness of the seemingly never-ending springtime of youth; and finally, laugh AT them, when they constantly manage to show their panties in public!
The everyday life of the average, everyday guy is filled with the hope of getting even just a glimpse of an attractive woman's delicates in any way possible, and in any location: on the subway, in the park, or even under a table. One particular guy, Steve, finds it to be an amazing hobby, and would stoop to new lows to further his collection of panty shots, which he has hung about his room in a most decorative fashion. Colorful is a spastic, strange and extremely high octane way to look at the world of the typical man.
The theme of comedy is very much the same, but Girls High is more from the girls' perspective, while Colorful is from men's.
Life is full of choices for high school hunk Tohru Nagase. While waiting for his home to be reconstructed, Tohru is invited to stay at fellow classmate Mizuho Yuuki's home, but she just happens to have a friend, Miko Kamiyama, who is crazy about Tohru! To top matters off, underclassman Ai Minamizato also has her eyes set on him and Mizuho is becoming frustrated at the way Tohru leads these girls on. But is she also developing feelings for the boy? It's going to be an emotional ride full of panty-shots and big, plump breasts for Tohru, who is just too much of a nice guy to tell any of these girls no!
Both series have a set of similar characters who act the same in both Elf Ban Kakyuusei and Joshikousei. There is also a great deal of ecchi and high school relationship problems. The main characters in each have to deal with issues revolving around high school and problems that they face on a daily basis.
Aya Akabane is anything but typical. She's arrogant, believes her bra is a fashion accessory that's meant to be worn in public, and takes out her aggression on her closest friends – especially poor Konatsu, who is frequently picked up and spun around by her ponytail. Together with her friends, Aya enjoys an action-packed, event-filled high school life, whether she's trying to steal the panties her friends are wearing or secretly trying to film her classmates' underwater!
Both shows are slice of school life comedies that focus on girls being raunchy. High School Girls is a tad less perverted since as far as they go is panty shots everywhere, where Gokujo goes to extreme side of perverted but both will surely please if all you are looking for is some great laughs based around girl humour.
Deep in the mountains, isolated from civilization, there is a boys-only school that will finally be receiving its first class of girls in an attempt to transform the school into a co-ed one. Most of the boys have never been in contact with girls of their own age, leading to an explosion of hormonal craziness. From the sickeningly perverted fetishist guys, to a rather odd girl that seems to be chasing the most normal guy in the school for reasons known only to her, there's twisted humor to be had.
In High School Girls the girls are trying to get the guys and find themselves boyfriends whereas in Green Green the scenario is reversed in the fact that the boys are trying to get girls and girlfriends. Both hilariously deal with ecchi and loads of comedy along the way and have a ridiculous presentation of what school life is. There are a great many perverted aspects to both series.
Kunyan is a beautiful young woman, living alone in her one-bedroom apartment. However, she always seems to find her way into the most unpredictable and narrowly escapable situations that require quick, yet crude thinking and unimaginable body strength and flexibility. Although taking a bath or cooking crab in a steaming pot might seem like a safe and enjoyable activity, Kunyan seems to find a way into some sort of predicament, losing most of her clothes in the process.
The series have a very similar style of humour,but Ippatsu Kikimusume has sligthly less plot and more gags. It's also a bit more extreme than Girls High.
