SynopsisYamada, first name withheld, is a 15-year-old girl who has just entered Takizawa High School. Easily considered exceptionally beautiful, she has only one problem with her own body, she thinks her vagina looks weird and is very self-conscious about it.
Upon entering high school, her dream was to have casual sex with 100 men but therein lies the problem, she believes an experienced partner will tease her about the way her vagina looks or simply the fact that she's a virgin. She stumbles upon the solution in the form of Kosuda Takashi, a fellow virgin, whom she believes will help ease the transition to more experienced partners.
There's only one small problem, Yamada doesn't know anything about sex or the ancient art of seduction, meaning her quest to conquer Kosuda will be a difficult one. |

I am a total ecchi-enthusiast, so keep in mind I might be a little in love with this show when writing my review.
Story: 10
Haha. Most people would probably shrug this show off as "Are you serious?" or "Wow, what perverts", as the synapsis makes it seem like Yamada is a total slut and that all you'll get is very intense fanservice for 12 episodes. Think KissxSis or Rosario+Vampire-esque. But B Gata H Kei is not purely fanservice, there is actually a very funny story, and when there is fanservice it's not that trashy, are-you-kidding-me kind. A girl who thinks her vagina looks weird and wants 100 sex friends? Sounds good to me. But there is so much more to B Gata H Kei. A girl's quest to have sex filled with hilarious dialogue and outrageous situations. Ecchi comedy at its finest.
Art: 8
The art is pretty good. Yamada and others are well drawn and cute and backgrounds and scenery (like Kanejou's house) can be very pretty. Kosuda definitely fits the generic high school male description, and this is very refreshing in contrast to the majority of "normal" anime males with six packs, spikey blonde hair, etc. Boobs can be a bit huge in this show, but it's not disgusting and trashy because of B Gata H Kei's comedic element.
Sound: 8
The show has a decent amount of popular seiyuu including Tamura Yukari and Horie Yui as Yamada and Takeshita, respectively, so sound is nice and the voice acting isn't forced and unbelievable or anything. The OP and ED are cute to me, and will probably be cute to you too if you're a Yukarin fan :). The background music isn't made up of mellifluous symphonies or anything TENMON-esque, but it gets the job done and isn't annoying or anything. The random "B Gata H Kei~" is cute. ^^
Character: 9
YAMADA. I love Yamada so much, she'd get a 10/10 from me. Yamada is so entertaining, and her sorta tsuntsun side, though cliche, can make episodes very funny. The best part about Yamada is that she's daring, as you'll see if you watch the show. And let's face it, it's not often that you have a sex-obsessed female character in anime.
Kosuda can also have his awesome moments, though he usually fits the typical high school male role that he's supposed to fit (which is a good thing). Other characters like Takeshita, Kanejou, and Miyano often add to the comedic relief of the show and are valuable aspects to this show's comedy.
Enjoyment: >9000
I wish I could give this show an infinity in enjoyment, because that's what really makes this show a 10/10, the only 10/10 I've ever given, for me. I remember watching every episode of this show and not wanting it to end. This show is hilarious and I enjoyed it to the fullest extent. Today, 6/18/10, I finished the series and I sort of wanted to cry, because there'd be no more of this show to entertain me on a weekly basis. ): The comedy in this show is amazing, though it can still manage to be serious and/or erotic.
B Gata H Kei is an amazing watch if you just want to enjoy yourself and don't mind a little ecchi. If you're an ecchi-enthusiast like I am, I highly recommend this show, as it is probably the best, and seriously the classiest ecchi I've ever seen. I know classy ecchi sounds a little bit strange, but I promise you, this is not a Rosario + Vampire kind of ecchi with panty shots galore, but the fanservice is there where it's supposed to be, the comedy balances it out so it's not gratuitous.
If you love ecchi and comedy, you'll surely love B Gata H Kei~! read more

If there is any show that defines wasted potential, it’s B Gata H Kei. What started as a possible lighthearted gender flipped rendition of School Days ended up a pedestrian school comedy that was only saved by a somewhat fresh sense of humor and constant victimization of the lead and her love interest.
Our story follows Yamada, first name conspicuously absent throughout the whole affair, on her quest to have sex with one hundred males by the end of high school. Everything seems in the bag for her: She’s beautiful, smart; every guy in school wants her. The problem is, she’s too self conscious about her lady bits to make a move.
So rather than aiming for somebody with sexual experience, she ends up starting with the lowest rung in class that she can imagine: A random boy she finds in a bookstore who looks as average and virgin-like as possible named Kosuda. And thus starts a series of blunders in a quest to get him to have sex with her, while only paying lip service to her goal stated early on.
Helping her on her way is Yamada’s own Ero-God, a chibi-fied character resembling her in every way that has a swarthy moustache. The problem is, due to Yamada’s impulsive waffling, Ero-God does much more berating than assisting or praising.
On the way, opposition is offered from Kosuda’s introverted and painfully clumsy childhood friend, and the standard exchange student who wants nothing more than to crush Yamada for besting her in a beauty contest. Romantic hijinks ensue, sex nearly happens more than once, and more than a few bones end up broken as a result of Yamada’s own cluelessness.
First, let’s get the good points out of the way. Yamada is the best example of a horny ecchi male lead in a woman’s body. Except rather than taking the Maria Holic route of making her fantasize for half the damn episode, Yamada’s actually proactive enough to seek sex on her own, even if she’s too scared to see it through ‘til the end.
That can hardly be faulted against her though, with her endeavoring to screw a hundred guys by the end of her high school career without having even been in a relationship before. The tsundere pretense that she puts up helps to characterize her as somebody who has faith in her attractiveness, but not necessarily her ability to deal with the opposite sex in a lustful way.
While I wouldn’t call the comedy exceptionally unique and stellar, it’s well implemented enough to make up for the many faults that plague the series throughout. While Kosuda isn’t anybody with a vibrant personality, he does well in representing sexually frustrated, yet cautious youth. He doesn’t act like he’s above having sex, yet he isn’t fully comfortable with it either, creating a believable sense of awkwardness. Strangely enough, by the end he becomes the most endearing character, putting up with the harmful antics of Yamada much more than would be thought humanly possible.
Together, the two form the perfect combination: Both have implacable sex drives, no experience in relieving their libidos, and interest in the other that gets muddled amidst the endless moments of miscommunication that occur. It’s surprisingly deep, surprisingly realistic characterization that isn’t common in any media, and that’s a treat in itself.
However, even with that praise, I’d hesitate to call this a great, or even a good anime. Picture any sort of environment for your standard dull romantic comedy (Beach, forest, school), and B Gata H Kei goes there. It can be argued that this is subversion, but it stands that Yamada and Kosuda do everything that couples do in these kinds of anime, and many of the same jokes are used, albeit with less focus on the male’s point of view.
Everything that isn’t related to the two main characters is painfully ordinary. The animation is average at best, the soundtrack is mostly the same, and the plot consistently derails itself for the sake of character development. I wouldn’t say this is a bad thing, but it’s all about expectations. I came in expecting a show about a girl who wanted to have sex with a bevy of males by the end of her senior year, not her struggling to woo just one.
In an unexpected turn of events, a powerful message is brought to light: A satisfying romance can be had without sex early on. The two could only accept each other in a carnal fashion once they were sure that the other would reciprocate in kind, and would give back with feeling. These are two people insecure with themselves, only secure in the knowledge that the other isn’t confident sexually.
In the end though, it’s only the characters that changed in the school comedy setup, not the actions. The characters went through the motions until the very end, when their feelings were fully realized and ready to be unleashed in a wave of passion. It’s almost frustrating to watch before this, seeing Yamada screw up in her seduction and Kosuda struggle in understanding why she acts like she does.
I mentioned missed potential earlier, and B Gata H Kei had it. What could’ve been a decent look into the mind of a sexually aware yet totally clueless girl on a quest to fully realize herself on a primeval level degenerated quickly into what I mentioned above: A typical comedy that’s only saved by the surprisingly interesting and fleshed out, if not terribly original characters.
I understand that this was to appeal to a broader audience, but there’s a demerit if I ever saw one for completely screwing over what could’ve been the intriguing execution of a rare premise.
B Gata H Kei is perfectly fine, and is a hell of a lot more memorable than many similar series out there. Oddly enough, it’s probably one of the more realistic depictions of romance in anime, and just how awkward it really is when communicated improperly. If you can get past the false premise, occasionally boring episode plots and standard… well, everything else, B Gata H Kei has plenty to offer on a level of greater depth than you’d think. Just don’t expect to be blown away.

sexual references and plenty of them. both have the passive male protagonist surrounded my more...hm, 'aggressive' females as well.
both seems have intention on sexual things
but B Gata H Kei is more mature than Seitokai Yakuindomo
Similar sort of jokes but B Gata has a general story line while Seitokai feels more like a bunch of random clips losely related to a general story of a student council.
Seitokai has better characters which have good chemistry together where the main characters are two perverted females who complement each other's jokes while another male and female balance it out by dismissing the perverted views. This feel's more enjoyable compared to B Gata's characters more simple chemistry of girl chasing guy with supporting characters.
B Gata's jokes focus more on pervertedness to a topic and aim while Seitokai perverted jokes are more general and rely more on misinterpretation's and out of place comments.
Visually both are at a similar average level but I personally prefer Seitokai's characters design a lot more, especially the main characters. Voice acting is where Seitokai excels, especially if you have watched K-ON and can get a real kick out of it from it.
Seitokai Yakuindomo is pretty much the B Gata H Kei of fall 2010 season. The style of jokes is the same and although the premise is quite different, the shows have a similar 'feel' to them.
B Gata And Seitokai Both are anime's with a very basic story, Whilst both revolving around sexual humour and just sex jokes in general. Both VERY funny (if you are into sex humour) and If you like one, you'll definitly like the other :D.
Similarities:
Both were classified as encchi, but not encchi enough.
Both female characters have sex in their minds.
Both have male characters who have reservations being with the female character/s (in Tsuda's case).
Both male characters encountered the female character/s by accident.
Dissimilarities:
The other anime involves a trio of perverted minded ladies (except for Suzu), while this one, has the female character who fantasies about having a lot of Fuck Buddies.
In the other anime the male character is too reluctant to go along with his sempai's perverted thoughts, while, this one has both the male and the female characters whom are having horny thoughts with each other, the bad part though, is that both parties were reluctant to express it.
There are no banging , near bang or kissing scene that occur in the other anime, but this one has a couple of near bang and kissing into it.
Perverted female characters in both of the series.
similar sence of humour and both have dirty minded girls (excepted in B gata H kei there is only one perverted character but in Seitokei Yakuindomo almost the whole cast is dirty minded)
Both shows contain a lot of ecchi perverted moments, This may seem bad cause your gonna think "aww screw this, these shows have horrible plot and stuff"... but they use that as a form of comedy. It's filled with sex jokes and all that good stuff. I did enjoy both of them, since I do like the ecchi, romance comedies. (Seitokai is a less spiced romance comedy compared to BGHK. But doooo~ check them out ^^.
Most of the main characters are totally perverted with a sense of curiosity.

both main protagonist think of nothing but sex related objects
Kiss x Sis and B Gata H Kei are both verry enjoyable, short ecchi series. They feel the same, because in both series the girls are perverted, not the men. Kiss x Sis feels more like a hentai, while B Gata H Kei does have a romantic twist. If you liked one of them, I would recommend the other.
sex comedy, ecchi, nice art, awesome characters.
Both have perverted girls who like shy guys, and they mostly think about sex.
Kiss x Sis is more pervert than B Gata H Kei.
I think Kiss x Sis (TV) is funnier but B Gata H Kei have a better and complex story/characters.
Both are very funny, and this is the most important in this kind of shows.
Pervert girls that think about sex all the time
both features overly perverted heroines that goes through alot of trouble to try to have sex with the male chars, always to no avail. Very entertaining ecchi moments and sex jokes in both :P
both main female characters have the same goals, have Sex with the main male character.
Innocent protagonists, both have problems with nymphomaniac girls. But those girls aren't so bad, they behave so crazy cause of love (let's say, they're good at heart ;) ) Biggest difference is that Kiss x Sis has a lot of fan-service and dirty jokes are often visualized instead of B Gata H Kei, where conversations are the main source of your laugh ;)
