What is "listless"? Listless is the manner of lacking enthusiasm, interest or energy within a person.

The beginning of this anime Tanaka is laying in the shade of a tree on school grounds. While the camera takes its time to capture the worry-less Tanaka bathing on the cushion of the grass as the breeze of the wind comforts him as he sleeps. His friend Oota, large in stature and what could only be described as 'Yankee' with dirty blonde hair approaches Tanaka and asked "what are you doing?". These are the show's main characters.

Tanaka is the living example of the word lazy. Pale, thin ... and feminine, he is often lethargic and so uninterested that he could fall asleep or stare at nothing. The story tells us how this individual goes through his daily life and how such simple things bother him. Tanaka admires peace and does not like this being taken away from him. This usually means if there are things he has to put effort into then he would rather not bother with it to begin with. For example because of how slow walks he is, he would never buy anything perishable from the supermarket as products such as ice cream would often just melt by the time he arrives home. Though that being said, Tanaka is lazy enough that he would put some effort in if it meant he could be even more lazy later on.

His friend Oota is not only aware of Tanaka's listlessness but he is also very supportive of it. Oota's large physique means that he often helps people out whenever he can and would help Tanaka by looking after him and carrying him under his arm between classes, just so Tanaka is not late. I think it is fair to say that Oota enables Tanaka's listlessness but his caring personality often shines through in his own dependable and loving way. That and the rest of his class do not want to look after Tanaka.

As the story goes on, we get introduced to other characters such as Miyano who is a short, energetic and loud girl who wishes to be a mature and mysterious girl and believes that if she copies Tanaka's way of life that she can obtain her wish. This does not come without its own lot of shenanigans as a few more other characters also get introduced through this and causes problems for Tanaka's listless lifestyle.

Overall this anime is a very leisurely paced anime which is super light-hearted that you cannot help but enjoy the same laze that Tanaka feels. It is a very endearing anime which will make you appreciate the character interactions and maybe make you think or wish that your own relationship with friends were similar. Either way you will get a few laughs and is something to watch if you need something to cheer you up.

Happy Watching.

Sakamoto Desu Ga.

Sounds weird right? Sounds like someone's full name or something that just doesn't click to us non-Japanese speaking viewers and yet this anime is very slice of life -like. To be honest it looks far too fashionable for what it seems on the google images. Dare I even say, it looks like an anime purely based for individuals who like slim, slender, elegant, glasses-wearing boys and yet this anime is what I dreamt to be when I was in school.

Lets get down to the basics oh this anime: The story revolves around the main character (who happens to be presented in the ... title) Sakamoto. We follow Sakamoto on this story of his daily life in high school and how he "tackles" the typical issues that occurs in said school. Now this is not much of a spoiler but Sakamoto is the coolest guy in the entire school. How do we know this, well in most episodes there is a ten second introduction where a very aged and experienced narrator takes his time to sit you down and just softly mention to you that Sakamoto is not only cool, but also cooler and coolest. This by itself is enough to take an interest in what this narrator has to show and that is only the first ten seconds of the actual anime.

So what got me interested in this anime? Am I one of those individuals that I mentioned previously? Nope. What caught my attention was a single .Gif image where we see Sakamoto sitting on the open window sill after seeing his school desk and chair missing. The hooking part was when Sakamoto took his place at the window sill and the wind elegantly brushes his hair to revel the sophistication of this mysterious character who is Sakamoto. And if this is not enough to capture your attention, the stunning awe is reflected back onto the entire classes reaction as you can see the girls fall in love and the boys also falling in love and, or being jealous of the situation. To think this short five-ten second .Gif was enough for me to try out the first episode and I am so glad that I did.

From this point, the story tells us about Sakamoto and his interactions with each character to show us how suave, resourceful and gentleman-like Sakamoto really is and how we can either fall in love with him too or aspire to be like him.

So would I recommend this anime? Yes, if everything you have read previous to this has appealed to you. Or if you're interested in watching an anime which has comedic value, relatable scenes or able to take an anime which could be possible in the real world but is highly unlikely. At the very least I would recommend that you try at least one episode as the anime is a change of pace from most other animes, including the ones in its own genre.

Happy watching.

I will be honest. I was looking for asking friend for a recommended ecchi manga and I got “Lets be perverts” as a suggestion. I though it was going to be another short, pointless, comical, ecchi manga but I was so wrong. It became a serious story that was easy to relate to.

Story.
The story is about one person who had been called a pervert for quite some time and moved to a new area. Hoping to start a new. As it goes on it shows how mistakes happen, the one who tried to do good is seen as evil and visa versa. Just as life ... is, not everything comes into plan.

Art.
The art was different from manga as it was Korean made. But it was still readable and able to make out

Character.
Anyone can relate to these characters. In fact because of these characters it shows how life can be so unstable. You follow a character called ‘Perverto’ who is misunderstood and shows the troubles one can experience in life.

Enjoyment.
This was good because it shocked me how serious this series was. It helped me answer a few questions of my own and somewhat how do deal with certain things.

Overall.
I like this series. And you will to if you love a serious, life relating manga.

-This is my first review.-

This anime came into my list when it was recommended by a dear friend of mine. I trusted him when he said it was a good anime. So, with time on my hands I started watching it.

Story.
The story is very well written as it seems like they have purposely given us a character to hate. Now, this is the cleaver bit. We then become hooked on the hateful character and continue to watch on the anime till we see if he gets whats coming to him. If you want to know what happens in the end then I recommend watching the ... series to for fill your yearning needs.

Art.
Now this could be seen as bias however when I watched this series I watched it on crunchyroll. And even then the art was really good. I just wished that I had downloaded the series to give it a proper fair judgment.

Sound.
The sound was not really outstanding.. I have been watching anime for two years before seeing this series so I know what works well in what situations but for me, this series did not have any which I took notice of. So it means it did not have a big impact upon me however, you cannot have a good anime without the story,art,character and sound working together so I believe that the sound was fair.

Character.
I actually have to say, in my opinion the characters were very good. Without them the story would have just been a typical harem anime without any meaning. Hence why I believe that the characters were great.

Enjoyment.
The reason why I gave it an 8 was because there were some typical moments which were unoriginal but the reason why it was rated so highly was because of the twist, character relations and beyond expectation of the ending.

Overall.
Trying not to sound like I am ranting, The anime is very good and I like it very much as it is an original. However I must warn those who are or about to watch this series; you will learn the term "nice boat"; Equally surprised by the ending unless in some way or another you have see or read the spoilers and will enjoy it as it will completely blow your mind.

Please enjoy the series and in all fairness to everyone, this review is bias as it is written by me who enjoyed it.
