Joshi Kousei

High School girls is a straight forward comedy with a lot of in your face jokes about the lives of a group of girlfriends attending a high school. They don't joke about typical things that are safe for children. Rather, they take the more adult oriented ecchi route and run with it.

Story (Good)
The story runs in a typical sitcom style, with every "issue" solved in 30 minutes or less. Things usually start in a safe manner (like going to gym class or going karaoke), but by the end it just ends up all sexed up and wacky. Sexual innuendo's are all over this show. Thats part of this shows charm and makes it pretty entertaining (if you like that kind of stuff).

Art (Decent) --- Sound (Mediocre)
The art and sound is all pretty average for what its worth. Art is not too detailed but not too simplistic. It's very... AVERAGE. Although they drew the girls all cute like and hilarious, you can tell that everything else (backgrounds, static objects, etc) had less time taken to produce. The sound has typical anime comedy sounds but what helps out the most is the music in the show. It's all so very upbeat and happy, I could hear Kirameku (op song) over and over and it won't get old. Even after a year of finishing this show, I still enjoy that song as much as I did the first time heard it.

Character (Good)
This show doesn't have much in terms of sound, story, or art. So High School Girl's trump card to make this show remotely worth watching are the high school girls. With the lack of men in the show the girls all take center stage and make for some pretty unique moments. Particularly from all the innuendo jokes. Those moments are so wrong, its hilarious. The girls aren't even over developed as you would expect from an ecchi comedy. Rather they're all drawn like normal looking girls, which help enhance the comedy.

Overall if you enjoy a good ecchi comedy that more based on situational jokes rather than blatant fanservice with a few jokes. Give this one a shot. It is definitely for anyone who enjoys a dirty joke or two. And a special note: some of the funniest jokes are at the very end after the credits. read more

Story:
To put it bluntly, theres not much of a story that this show follows, it more or less depicts a group of girls that meet under abnormal circumstances and become friends due to that. While each episode depicts some sort of relationship within the group, there isn't any over reaching story arc. Nonetheless, each episode helps the characters become more and more enjoyable.
Art:
Again nothing special. There was nothing ground breaking about the character designs and backgrounds, but that wasn't what this show was aiming for. The cutesy feel that the designs give off are exactly what helps make the show.
Sound:
Again, a perfect fit for the show. Background and Thematic music fit well. As for the OP/ED very annoying. Its a fun jpop sound that annoyingly sticks after listening to it.
Character:
I've been a little rough on the show so far, but this is where it begins to shine. The quality of the characters shine though, allowing the show to truly become enjoyable. As for the series of events that these characters partake in, you can't help but sympathize with them. They just make the show that good.
Overall:
while this show is nothing special in the grand schemes of anime, it was enjoyable nonetheless. As for the last episode "stupidity, never ending stupidity" sums the show up fairly well. But thats what the show was all about. It was a lot of fun to watch. sadly its only a 12 ep run, If you liked Ouran high school host club or Azumanga Daioh, this should easily fit in somewhere between the two. read more

What can I say? This was one of the very first Animes I ever watched. I wouldn't say it was what started my love for Anime, as it was Clannad that did that, and we can all understand why.
Even so, High School Girls introduced me to the types of stories Anime offers. This particular programme has many, with a variety which I love. It starts out as being quite adult orientated it seems, with adult themes and ideas. Certainly not one for the kids. As the stories progress though, there is more focus on developing the characters themselves, rather than pleasing the people that want a shot of underwear, something which I'm glad of. Therefore I believe the stories deserve an 8/10. They're very good. As it was my first series to watch, I got a good taste of what to expect from similar programmes. The hardcore anime fan won't like how there isn't any real storyline, it jumps from one theme to the next.
The art is good, I can't speak much negativity about it. It's designed to make the series itself enjoyable, not something you gawp over how good the extra effects are. That simplicity is what I like. However the only negative I have is some of the clothing there are is a little odd. I'm talking about Kouda especially. I didn't see the point of trying to get an extra laugh out of making her clothing occasionally overly sexual. Oh well.
A decent theme tune. I like it. You remember how it goes. Being knowledgeable in music I know how it can influence programmes and this tune in particular helps to emphasise the enjoyment you should get out of the show. On the in show music, you normally hear a monophonic piano melody which accompanies dialogue. It also includes fart sounds, which honestly works, again adding to the fun factor. Although, this piano melody happens too often. There could be more variety.
The characters. Ah! They really nailed it! Each girl has a personality that befits their look, and they respond to situations how they should. My highlight of the series was Ogawa being taken to the love hotel, yet saving herself without even realising it because she is meant to be very innocent. It's not just one character though. Koudas flamboyance is contrasted by Ayanos shyness and daring with her boyfriend Shimotakatani. There is a lot to like about High School Girls, but the characters traits are what you have to like the most.
I enjoyed the series. I really did. So much so I have rewatched it, to relive what got me into anime in the first place. The humour is enjoyable, as is the simplicity. Some animus become really complicated, but this sticks to basics which makes it fun to watch and easy to follow.
That is why I give this anime 8/10 overall. For the anime newbie it is fantastic. It provides fun for 12 episodes and you will feel pleased that you watched it. However it isn't perfect, as the story is evidently very wayward (well it can be said there isn't a story in the first place. Just some girls becoming friends and then lots of subplots which really have no relation whatsoever) and that isn't really good enough for the hardcore Otaku. I can safely say though even after re watching it, there is still something about it you like. It should be terrible, but it really is one to watch, you won't regret it. read more

Here's the bottom line: if you're a shoujo fanboy and like high school shows, you'll probably totally dig on High School Girls (aka Girl's High).

The plot isn't original. The show follows 6 high school girls through one year (first year) of high school. Along the way we visit the Sports Fest, the Culture Fest, we go to amusement parks, sing karaoke, and even go to a love hotel! But nothing groundbreaking.

The 6 girls all have different personalities, of course. We have the sweet girl, the innocent girl, the tsundere, the girl who loses her viriginity, and a couple more cuties thrown in for good measure. I liked the fact that there are 6 girls in the main storyline instead of 3 or 4 you sometimes get with these high school shows.

What makes the show good is the character development of the girls. The interaction and friendships among them work well and there are a few mild subplots that also carry interest throughout.

We also have the usual male teachers leering after the girls and of course that makes for some hilarity.

There is a fair amount of naughty humor and indecent situations, more than you'd see in most other HS shows. This is why I HIGHLY recommend this for fanboys.

Hey, the girls are cute, the show is fun to watch, and there's pretty good repeat value too. High School Girls is a winner in my book! read more

This show is so full of mature "girl talk", it was mind-blowing. However I did enjoy this show. Even though it literally did not have an ending. The character development was ok and you actually grew to like all the quarky, far from perfect girls in this show.
If you want a bit of ecchi and laughs and are not to worried about getting an epic story than this ones for you.

Joshi Kousei, also knows as high school girls. Its is utterly hilarious, if you're a girl you'll laugh even harder since you know just how it is to be a chick. Sometimes its a giving and sometimes its a curse to be a girl, and this series brings out all the funs and joys of being a highschool girl in japan. So much fun to watch and even better if you were to watch it with your girlfriends (friends that are girls). If your a dude you might not get the same humor, then again i wouldnt know since im not a guy, but i think it'll still be funny for you.
This serieries is basically just about a group of friends in an all girls school hanging out and having fun. Not much of a story line, each episode is a little random, but its mainly for the enjoyment of the comedy.
The art is a tad bit older, but it delivers. Its really not that bad.
And no, its not a yuri.
I saw it twice, one by myself and the other with my friend, and we were cracking up.
I really enjoyed this anime and hope you do too x3 read more
