lol And I thought this anime was going to be about art. You know like sketch-dance? xDDD

Anyways, it's ok for now. 7-8/10 for now. I don't know how could this turn out to be.

A combination of Gintama and Ace Attorney series. This one is the most interesting released anime of SJ this season, second is Toriko.

P.S.

Actually yes, that Teppei guy has shinpachi's voice I recognized it right from the start xDD
And if you listen closely youll notice that SWITCH's voice is Gintoki's lol

I'm only in the first 3 mins and it already feels like a Gintama wannabe... (which is impossible) probably because of the seiyuu (and that they're basically forming a yorozuya??!), the new kid sounds just like Shinpachi but the list on MAL says it's Hoshi?? o_o; I'll try to remember to check the credits when I get there.

well, back to watching now.... x3

I was surprised to hear the duo from Gintama in this first ep. Though, it's probably the last time, since Teppei is a side character. Noticed that Teppei's voice actor is Sakaguchi Daisuke and not Hoshi Souichirou.

Talking about episode itself, it was interesting. Characters are quite interesting, especially Gintoki.. I mean Switch. That scene when he was sending msgs to Bossun was hilarious. xD Other 2 are fine and not annoying, so it's good so far.

Good episode, looking forward to next ones.

Really reminded me of Okami-san except without moe. I really enjoyed this. It was fun and all three of the main characters are likable. Just hope its not too long... Even though I might actually stick with it in the long run if it maintains the quality entertainment throughout.

felt sort of a mix between Gintama/Haruhi/every teen detective show... I'll keep watching a few more episodes to decide if to keep this but really unimpressed.

Good 1st episode.

Mangaka of Sket Dance is the former assistant of Gintama's mangaka (Hideako Sorachi) by the way. That's where the similarity is come from I think.

And its quality isn't far behind Gintama's, just give it a few more episode before the awesomeness of SD kicks in at a full throttle. Assuming that Anime studio will do justice to manga material.

Yay, another adaptation of a WSJ manga.

So they kept the same cast from the VOMIC.
The seiyuu cast seems solid, a lot of familiar and favorite seiyuus.
It's a good episode, funny at some points.
Let's see if the plot will follow suit.

Lol at favorite Vizored and Gundam.


No wonder Medaka Box changed pace in the middle. It's really similar, students granting people's requests. Sket Dance was first so either Medaka should change pace or risk getting compared and cancelled.

He really does O.o...and he even looks like Shinpachi XD

-Already in love with the switch dude♥~ he is so funny plus he is voiced by Gin's VA!
-Every show does not necessarily have to be original. Its enough if its entertaining sometimes~ passed.
-The characters are interesting though i don't like Onihime's accent that much. She seems cool though.

When I saw the word "odd jobs" in the subtitles, I suddenly recognize Shinpachi's and Gintoki's voice.

*checks the anime information*

Wait. It's not Shinpachi's seiyuu! =,=

Anyway, 1st ep was ok. School Yoruzuya might be something interesting.

Not bad for a first episode, and the competition looks pretty weak so I'm going to give it a chance. At least they didn't introduce a talking dog.....

Same here, it's usually the same story and "life lesson" repeating itself through each arc, but I will most likely stick around till the end of this

Even though the anime seemed to be aimed at young and casual anime viewers, I think it's pretty decent shounen manga material. Not sure how long I'll be following this show though.

I liked the animation at the end (OP or ED), and the comedy is pretty good. Quite a few funny moments, like when the one guy was sending the texts, but was behind the tree :P

The part when he put on his goggles to concentrate seemed pretty cheesy. I like smart characters and such, but the goggles thing seemed pretty lame to me for some reason. I also didn't really care for the drama, it almost felt a bit 'fake'.

Overall, I think it's a show I'll enjoy, but I doubt it'll be one of my favourites this season.

WTF....if the manga is just like the anime then that at least covers my problem of trying to read the manga in case it's better than anime..

Story>> too freakin' fast , it's like they just grabbed us from behind and threw us in a trash-can in like 2 seconds..no time to ''digest'' the main characters etc...
The way Bossun discovered the truth was annoying....-___- at least give us an explanation.....only reason i was pumped was hearing Sugita-san was voice-acting in this....
And the comedy was.......I didn't even smile..it's like it passed me so fast I didn't have time to understand it...>.>

I thought it was pretty okay, probably keep it for a while; his concentration mode is kinda blah though, overused in various detective-ish type animes =_=
lol Onihime ~ Orihime the first time i heard it LOL
anyways its passable but not anything interesting at all especially as a first episode

Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed by this.
I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from this show, but I just didn't enjoy the episode as much as I thought I would. Hoping it picks up though.

I wonder how many episodes this is going to have...
