Seitokai no Ichizon

Imagine living life as the vice president of the student council, passing the days eating snacks, playing games, and bonding with a harem of beautiful girls. This is exactly the kind of life that high school student Ken Sugisaki leads, or so he thinks!

Usually, the officers of Hekiyou Academy's student council are elected by popular vote, but an additional position is granted to the student who scores the highest on the exams. Ken, who historically has had below average grades, worked hard to improve them to be accepted into the student council, with the ultimate goal of surrounding himself with girls who fawn over him.

Unfortunately for the vice president, things do not go quite as planned. Not only do the ladies of the council continually rebuff his advances, they also prefer to focus on more important and "boring" activities, such as organizing school events and managing the other clubs. But a few minor hurdles like these won't stop Ken from chasing after his dreams, even if they seem a bit ridiculous.

5 sentence review:

A fun (but morally incorrect) protagonist, my favourite.
Funny, even though it's technically a harem of sorts.
I enjoyed alot of the characters despite them one nate.
Has loads of references and 4th wall breaks, I can imagine rewashing this later and enjoying it when I can understand more of em.
Based VN lover as the protagonist.

Favourite character was Mafuyu.

... Random thoughts:
Season 1 was a masterpiece imo. Funny and had a protagonist that I liked. Can't think of a weak link in the cast tbh, you don't need compelling characters to have fun ones.
Hopefully season 2 keeps up the momentum (I haven't watched it at the time of writing this).
I also liked the artstyle alot.

Mixed Feelings

Most animes leave the fourth wall intact, presumably because 9 of 10 times it's broken the show quality plummets and the 10th time it neither adds or detracts. The only exception in the history of everything forever that has managed to make breaking it a fun thing that adds to the enjoyment is... NOT Seitokai no Ichizon, it's Deadpool.

When a plot can be summed up with 4 girls and one guy in the same room 95% of each episode, a big temptation for the writer is to throw in references to other things and start breaking the wall that shall not be defiled with breaking, ... except by Deadpool since he defiles everything anyway. In this anime there are loads of very forced pokes at numerous other animes, maybe a slight bit fun for those who've watched those animes but for everyone else it's mostly a waste of screen time since the segments often don't even come with a good punchline. (I didn't like most references even though I've seen the other animes)

The art and sound are only just good enough to be called "good" by 2017 standards, the characters however are sort of difficult to rate. The delusional guy constantly calling the girls his harem is on one hand refreshing compared to most other harem protagonists, but on the other hand he gets stale when compared to himself since the originality ended at just defining him as a guy seriously aiming for a harem. The girls also stick to their roles really hard but it works a lot better for them.

Way back forever ago this anime was probably one of the better but by modern standards it isn't impressive. The comedy is endless hit and miss, with more missing than hitting, however if you're bored and have watched most other stuff out there you may as well watch this too.

Ugh, where do I even start with Seitokai no Ichizon? I'm still trying to figure out why I wasted 12 episodes of my life on this snooze fest. I mean, I thought the premise was cute - four adorable girls and a guy running a student council? Sounds like a fun, lighthearted watch, right? Wrong.

I remember seeing a Facebook post with a screenshot of the girls and thinking, "Aww, this looks like a sweet anime!" But oh man, was I misled. The entire series is just... nothing. No development, no plot twists, no character growth. Just a bunch of boring conversations in a student council ... room. I swear, I've seen paint dry faster than this anime's pace.

And don't even get me started on the "plot". It's literally just the five main characters sitting around talking nonsense for 24 minutes straight, episode after episode. I mean, what's the point of even having a student council if they're not going to do anything? It's like the creators thought, "Hey, let's just film some cute girls talking and call it a day!"

There's even a scene where one of the characters says, "We need to make something interesting happen in this anime so viewers can watch." Are you kidding me?! That's basically the creators admitting they have no idea what they're doing!

I'm giving Seitokai no Ichizon a solid 1/10. It's a complete waste of time, and I regret ever picking it up. If you want to know what boredom feels like, watch this anime. But honestly, don't. Go watch paint dry instead. At least that's free.
