Seitokai Yakuindomo. Not for the hardcore anime viewers that write 10 page long essays on a single misplayed note of an OST which had a sound wave 1 Hz shorter than it should have been.
Be wary; this is my first and probably only review ever (嘘).
As you can see from my overall score of this anime, I have thoroughly enjoyed this show. The sex jokes, the innuendos, the characters, the 'ecchi' scenes. Loved every second of it. Hell, I've even watched the whole series multiple times and still laugh at the jokes (immaturity at its finest).
Right, lets lay this out like a proper review.
Story:
...
6
I have given it a 6 for story, although it probably only deserves a 4 at best. There is little to no 'real' story to this. Every episode is just crammed full of perverted scenes. To be honest, it's actually quite difficult to keep track of the chronological order of things (ending of Seitokai Yakuindomo*). Although there is no actual story, it was fun watching the day to day life of Tsuda as he goes through school trying to take as little notice as possible of the immature minds of his senpai in the School Council.
Art: 8
Honestly, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to rate artwork and animation. The art of this show does not displease me, however it isn't exactly Fate/Zero or Steins;Gate or even Monogatari level artwork. I guess my overall score for it would be 8.
Sound: 8
Again, first time review, not sure what to talk about here. Didn't really notice any blank spaces of sound during the show and the light happy-go-lucky background music was delightful to listen to.
I guess I should also add in Character voice actors/actresses into this section.
Seitokai Yakuindomo, in my personal opinion, has perfect seiyuu for each character.
Yoko Hikasa (Rias Gremory, Mio Akiyama seiyu) voices the part of the school council president, Shino Amakusa, perfectly. The slightly controlling tone of a club president matches Shino's voice brilliantly.
Satomi Sato (Ritsu Tainaka, Wendy Marvell seiyu) voices the part of the airhead ojousama, Aria Shichijou. The slight 'airiness' (I guess) of her voice fits the personality of the beloved school council secretary.
Sayuri Yahagi (many supporting characters seiyu...) voices the returning student with 180 IQ able to speak perfectly in English and do 10 digit sums in her head... but she doesn't have a body anywhere near that of a 16 year old. Suzu Hagimura. To be fair, her voice as Suzu is either love or hate. I for one, think that it is befitting of the character. Some may disagree and say that it is too high pitched.
Character: 10
I have covered some of the qualities of the 3 main female students in the 'Sound' section.
Shino Amakusa, the school council president is the perfect female. Good manners, good at sports, best grades of her year. However, her mind isn't fully out of puberty yet. Over the course of the anime, we get small hints of developing feelings that she might have for Tsuda. However, being a fully comedic anime, this hasn't really blossomed into a relationship.
Aria Shichijou, the school council secretary. Good grades, good manners, good at sports and also good looking. She comes from a rich family. But she's a bit of an airhead, too used to the comforts of her own home, as can be seen when she stands in front of a set of stairs for a while before realizing that it isn't an escalator. Or standing in front of sliding doors before Tsuda reminds her that they aren't automatic. She seems to have the same immature mindset as the president.
Suzu Hagimura, the school council accountant. "I'm a returning student with an IQ of 180! I speak fluent English, and can easily do 10 digit calculations in my head! The student council wanted to use my talents and recruited me as an accountant! Now, Will you stop treating me like a kid?" This introduction of her in the anime perfectly describes her. Usually, only the top of her head is shown when the characters stand up beside each other. Or sometimes she isn't even in the shot but there's an arrow pointing down stating her position. I find this hilarious xD
Takatoshi Tsuda, the school council vice-president. From the very beginning of the anime, it is actually unclear what his personality is like. He dressed improperly for his first day of school and was stopped by Shino before being recruited in to the school council. Eventually, we find out that he is quite a hard worker (as shown when he cleans the bathroom until it shone) but sometimes gets distracted easily (he was actually supposed to do school council work until his sister asked him to clean the bathroom). It may seem as though he has a harem due to the fact that 99% of the other characters seem to be female, however, relationships between him and any of the girls are not really discussed throughout the anime unless for comedic purposes.
Side/minor characters. Some characters such as Hata Ranko from the newspaper club who seems to permanently hold on to her camera so that she can find a 'scoop' to sell. Monotonous voice and bland eyes go extremely well with her character due to the contrast between her features and the things she talks about. Kotomi Tsuda, the little sister of Takatoshi who seems to be a bro-con or at least is veeeeery perverted. Affectionately calls Takatoshi 'Taka-nii'. Uomi, the school council president of Eiryou high school. In SYD*, she becomes Takatoshi's cousin in-law. She seems to have some sort of feelings towards Tsuda and constantly discusses/compete for him with Shino. There are a few others, such as the androphobic Kaede Igarashi, a member of the disciplinary committee, the borderline sex offender (not that guys would say no to sex with a hot teacher) Yokoshima-sensei, Mutsumi Mitsuba, the president of the judo club (whom also seems to have some feelings towards Tsuda.... ok, I think all club presidents have a thing for him...) and then finally, the maid of the Shichijou household, Sayaka Dejima (as perveted, if not more, than Aria Shichijou. Dejima is constantly trying to get a hold of anything that Aria has bathed in, worn on or slept in.
Enjoyment: 10
This anime was a nice break from a few serious/feels shows (Steins;Gate, Shigatsu wa kimi no uso, Kokoro Connect to name a few) and I constantly go back to it for fast relief of stress.
Overall: 10
I hope that one more season of Seitokai Yakuindomo will be released. Overall, this anime is brilliant for those of us seeking a rest from the darker, psychological anime.
Thank you for reading, check out my profile for a look at my other top anime and leave a comment there if you have any questions. Sorry for the large chunks of text and I hope that you will also fall in love with Seitokai Yakuindomo in the same was that I did.
