SKET-dance

i've got through the first two eps... it isn't horrible it's pretty mediocre over all.

the best character in the show is Onihime... one of the better female characters i've seen this season (maybe even on par with Ohana)... unfortunately she really isn't enough to carry this one by herself.

I'll find my way to watching the other eps, but this one seems to be struggling with the humor (and for a humor anime, for the jokes to fail to crack a smile, that's a big issue)

edit: ep 4 was the first fairly funny ep of this anime. i laughed most of the way through. this anime is much funnier when it's breaking the 4th wall.

Ep 6.

Etue found this the most enjoyable episode yet, very good with all the prior characters making an appearance, pointing out their ridiculousness perfectly.

you're right.. ep 6 was pretty funny... the delusional Shojou manga/anime fan cracks me up... this was a good ep. cracked me up.

Seems to be finding it's footing a bit more... still 2 out of 6 eps being funny isn't a great track record for a comedy anime... hope it gets better.

episode 4... Warning: this anime is Sket Dance.

manga girl was awesome, and the joe kisaragu running gag is funny. the show that practically knows it's a show always cracks me up.

Ep 6. Pretty emotional episode.Too bad we didn't get to see the Snow White play.From the rehearsing it could've been really good.

Ep 7.A really good romantic episode!Go Te-san!
Bossun's 'Help sign' face was hilarious I couldn't stop laughing

just powered through episodes 5-7.... i enjoy the show, but without an overlying plot the episodic nature just makes it good, not great.

So I stalled out on episode 3 of this. Someone tell me in a non-spoiler manner how it's going, please?

[oninosweeney]

meet new character, solve problem in way that was not obvious in 15 min; occasionally dip into character from previous stories.

repeat every 15 minutes of viewing.

no sports festival, no culture fest, no summer vacation, no hot springs episode; what kind of school anime is this?

it's off and on. Sometimes it's rather funny. mostly it's actually pretty dull and boring.

The humor is best when this show breaks the 4th wall... most of the characters aren't particularly interesting as they mostly seem to be caricatures for humor sake, and unfortunately the joke is beaten over your head every second they're on screen, so whatever humor they might have had is quickly exhausted.

even the "drama" is campy/corny. I've been on the edge of dropping this one for weeks now, but since it airs on a night i usually watch anime i've been watching it mostly out of habit. This is just pulling a 1.5 out of me at the moment; which makes it hands down the worst anime i'm watching right now; hell i dropped two anime i thought were better this season.
