Kyou no 5 no 2

Ever wanted to have a good elementary school life? Well watch this anime and you will have the most exciting elementary school life possible.

The story is basically about a guy in fifth grade getting into many awkward situations with many different girls. Each episode consists of several awkward encounters, most consisting of sexual innuendoes, which all end in a very well executed punch line.

The art is perfect for this show; its fluid animation and light colour tones give this show a very happy mood. A comedy anime like this one takes an extra step over other comedies because of its close attention to detail.

The ... characters were all well developed even in the short four episode span. The key to this anime is that they showed an age group in which girl and boy relationships are just developing, and having the main character relatively clueless to such things. The punch line is also even better developed by the fact that the characters barely know what they are doing is wrong.

In terms of enjoyment, this show puts you on the ground rolling in laughter. The opening and ending songs are mediocre, and the background music is average however the many silences made it more awkward (good thing). You will not walk away unhappy. The TV series of Kyou no go no ni however is much worse, and ruins this show, so I recommend watching the OVA first, which is the order they are aired.

Even if you have come to enjoy the comedy it offers which is not bad,you will be sorely disappointed with it only being 4 episodes.

These 4 episodes are all about events in the characters school life,dividing them into periods for events of each particular character.Each episode focus on a topic which flow through the periods.

The last period wasn't conclusive at all so I wonder why it stopped at episode 4.Honesty,I find it hilarious and certainly had wanted more.But with it staying this way,I can only end it off recommending this to those who just want a short comedy anime to laugh and well...

Synopsis:
Today in Class 5-2 is about a 5th grader, Sato Ryouta on elementary school. An active and playful young lad who gets into ecchi-based situations with he fellow classmates.

Story:
The story is pretty much told already, namely in my synopsis, there are a total of 20 different (dull) story's where the above happens. There isn't a real story in this OVA. It's just fun, games, library visits, classes and lunchbreaks, daily things elementary kids do 'are' the story, while the girls want to find out things what don't really matter.

Characters:
De main character, is probably, the only character that I like.. a bit. It's just ... this normal shounen boy, the standard. And all the other characters are those "standards" too, you got the stupid girls wondering about cupsizes and love, while the other guys really dont matter and are only used to fill up some space. None of them are intresting, no one really had any "depth", etc.

Art & Animation:
I really like the art, but.. it's just regular good art, nothing special, but it doesn't suck either. But once the situations change into; either serious or ecchi one's, the art style changes. When it's the turn to Ecchi, it's this beautiful, highlighted, "blank" style, but when it gets serious, the style suddenly changes to really mature shounen/seinen style, which is rather hilarious.. but not in this OVA.

One thing that bugged me about the normal style here, is the fact that their ears look like shit.

Don't got much to say about the animation, it's really the mediocre type of animation.

Sound & Extra’s:
Great voices, this is probably the best thing of this OVA series. I really don't got any complaints about this, every voice matched their character. The opening and ending were ... fair enough. Both are good, but it's not something you want to hear every episode, the clips they made for the opening en endings are good, but too cliché.

Nothing to say about the background music, since it's nothing special.

Enjoyment & Score:
Enjoyment? Hmm, maybe I missed it. But I didn't enjoy this OVA at all.
There was just 1 scene, where there was 1 expression which I had to laugh about, but it made me feel in different ways, I didn't know if I should've felt happy, sad, distinguished or what.. But, that was maybe 20 seconds, in total the 4 episodes took about 2 hours.. 20 second/20 hours, hmm, doesn't look like I enjoyed it, huh?

Story: 20 different dull story's without an actual story? - 3/10 (Poor)
Art/Animation: Fair art, using different style's? - 7/10 (Good)
Extra’s/Sound: Nothing to complain, good voices, nice BGM - 8/10 (Very Good)
Characters: Unintresting, too cliché - 4/10 (Decent)
Enjoyment: What enjoyment? - 2/10 (Dreadful)

Overall: 3.9/10 (Decent)
Which makes it a - 4/10 (Decent)

Kyou no Go no Ni Overall:
For people who enjoy Ecchi and lousy Slice of Life series, this is it!
But all-in-all, it's not that intresting, good voices, decent animation, nice stijl, cliché characters, no story, boring events...
