Gakuen Heaven

Isn't there a saying "if you haven't got anything nice to say, shut your mouth" or something between those lines? In that case I'll start with the good things in this anime:
-Characters, especially the supporting ones, were really nice, different from each other (except the twins... or can I count them as a one person?) and somewhat interesting as well. I would have liked to hear more about their pasts...
-Total of 3 hilarious opening scenes

Now that I have dealt with that, here comes the bad:
-Predictable plot. I was fully aware what was going to happen before episode 5. However, I was ready to forgive that since this was a shounen-ai and those tend to have half-assed plots. However...
-No romance.

-As the anime took place in a high school, the school was quite empty. Only characters seen were those relevant to plot. Oh, but there was an episode in which huge mass of students was seen. But all of them disappeared soon after that. What a strange school.

I would still have many things to rant about but this might be enough.

1.5/5 stars. Points from the characters and those opening scenes that I mentioned.

There. I got it off my heart. Now I never have to think of this anime again.
...moving on...

Oh, how I was waiting something to happen between Keita and Kazuki but nothing really happened. Instead the anime kept focusing on the plot. No confessions of love, no ever-so-delicious-and-delightful embarassing moments... Nothing. (Even after the long-awaited kiss they slept in different rooms. "See you tomorrow" ._.) -SURPRISE, SUB-PLOT! The final two episodes dealt with a new plot and thus, there was little action and lots of talking. Such a bore. -As the anime took place in a high school, the school was quite empty. Only characters seen were those relevant to plot.
