100% Pascal-sensei (TV)

The setting is always set in a elementary school. In that school a classroom is run by a unintelligable teacher who isn't human. That classroom is where you will be witnessing the carefree life of Pascal-sensei.

In the first episode you get a glimpse of the young elementary students, not to forget the animation that shows the students young and innocent side. It really is interesting seeing such a colourful and cute design for the kids. The animation is childish and likable. It's easy to adapt to and shows no problems to point out at.

Throughout the episode there may be changes of scenes entirely, it might ... look like the episode has finished but it actually just changes to something else different from what was previously displayed.

The opening is fine, nevertheless the ending is not good at all. The ending is not animated and features real people dancing. I tend to skip it. The music in the episodes are fine but nothing to get worked up over.

The comedy is usually finely balanced, although at times it can get overboard. It's possible that you will get a good laugh from it but the laugh for us and for younger people are most likely different. The comedy isn't bad, yet there is room for improvement.

The characters are very interesting, from the elementary schoolers to the teacher. The personalities of each character is unique. Pascal-sensei for example has a innocent yet carefree personality that makes him stand out and this is how we all see him. A newly introduced character had a self-centered personality, still he had his good sides and the moment where he looked like he mistook Pascal sensei.

Thats it for now, I will update this through out my watch. At the moment this is not so good but I will improve it.

I have yet to finish this anime, but seeing as I am about to start episode 16, and there is no real story behind this anime, I feel that I have reached a point where I am able to adequately review it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to DNF this series. With the episodes only being about 14 minutes each, I'll breeze through the last half. I overall give this anime a 6/10. Here's why.

Story: 4/10
As I mentioned above, there is no real story to this anime. It is just a bunch of shorts put into the episodes, where only the middle section ... of this anime actually follows a real story line (and that's giving it too much credit,) This anime is about a teacher, Pascal-sensei, who teaches elementary school and usually takes things either to the extreme, or extremely too literally. It gives you a couple laughs here and there, and some of the situation this teacher gets the students into are strange to say the least. If you're looking for a good laugh, nothing serious by any means, this is a go to anime, however, if the anime you stray towards are the action packed, romantic, serious anime, this definitely isn't for you. I should also note that there are references to other tv shows and anime that are pretty funny.

Art: 6/10
The art isn't the "typical" anime art style, it's more like a cartoon, and that definitely fits this anime. It seems to be targeting a younger audience, so I feel that the art fits in that situation. It's not great, but it wasn't aiming for that. For that reason, I'm not judging the art too harshly.

Sound: 4/10
The opening to this anime is pretty annoying, I'm not going to lie, and honestly, the ending is just weird/creepy. For example, the one time I listened to the ending fully, there was a line that said "When did you stop wetting the bed, I stopped yesterday," This brings me back to the statement I made earlier, when I said that this anime is targeting a younger audience. Jokes like that are sure to make children laugh, but being an adult, I tend to skip both of the songs.
Edit: From episode 19 and up, there is a different ending song, which is significantly better than the original ending song, causing me to raise my rating on the sound from a two to a four. This new song is like a rap/rock mix, and I did listen to this while not watching the anime. (Though, on YouTube, it definitely sounds better when put on the 1.25 speed rather than the regular speed of 1)

Character: 6/10
There is about seven or eight main characters that appear in every episode, and a couple side characters that come around every two to three episodes. Of these characters, there is no real character growth. There is literally a character that repeats the same phrase every episode for comedic relief. Don't get me wrong though, the characters aren't by any means bad characters. They all have unique personalities, and seeing how these characters interact with each other can be humorous.

Enjoyment: 5/10
I didn't hate this anime. It did make me laugh here and there, and I even recorded certain scenes to send to my friends because they were just that bizarre and meme-worthy. It was a very light-hearted, innocent anime that I enjoyed watching, it was like an escape from the typical action packed, fight every episode, type of anime.

It's a gag reel anime, really, so there's not much that can be said. Tackling on the more technical aspects first? I'd say the artstyle is vibrant and the animation fluid, surprisingly so sometimes so it definitely meets expectations in those regards, but considering there is no story, the characters are one-note, the shorts often make no sense, if at all, and that it's aimed at an audience of kids no older than 12 at best? I'd say this one misses the mark for adult viewers unless one is looking for a cheap, noncommital laugh or two by avoiding better comedies out there.

Regarding the characters, ... they're all middle schoolers who really wish they weren't there but carry with themselves their own unique attributes. One, for example, is a character which is initially introduced as a 'rival' to the main characters but ends up being an actually nice-hearted kid who is always willing to help despite his fearsome (for a kid, at least) appearance which would suggest otherwise. They're not exactly complex and not entirely one-note? But once a character has been assigned an episodic gag, they will live and die by that gag which can get tiring really fast.

The only thing keeping me from dropping this show is my absurd and stubborn dedication to finish an anime once I've started it. Sometimes I chuckled and at other times I was bored, but the one thing I can say with confidence is that 100% Pascal-sensei is, at the very least, a show most kids who don't care about joke layers or context will enjoy so, if that's your cup of tea, then by all means go for it.
