B gata H Kei is a Ecchi Romance Comedy Anime made by Hal Film maker and Localized by FUNimation, it is about a girl named Yamada who is entering High School and has a the dream of sleeping with over 100 guys before she graduates. Do to her insecurities about her body/being a virgin she rejects any guy who wants to go out with her plus the fact that she doesn't know the first thing about sex she doesn't know where to start until she meets Kosuda her "Golden Cherry Boy" who she declares she will have sex with first.

My Thoughts:
When I first started watching B gata H Kei I watched it knowing I was gonna hate it but need to kill some time and wanted to find out how bad it was. Surprisingly enough I actually started liking the show the more I watched it and found myself wanting to watch the next episode after finishing one. While this show defiantly isn't as good as other romance anime such as Clannad, Yamada and Kosuda are still likable enough that you enjoy seeing them together and want to see their relationship succeed. Also where this show shines is the comedy aspect. At some points I was practically out of breath from laughing so much. Usually sexual comedy really isn't my personal favorite but this show does it so well it is really had not to laugh.

Characters:
Yamada- A young girl who at first glance is a lustful vain narcissist and even at a second glace she is still those things but she has insecurities and realistic emotions as well that is latter fleshed out more.
Kosuda, Takashi- A Sheepish indecisive young man who is about average in about every sense of the word but is the Cherry of Yamada's eye.
Minharu Takeshita- Yamada's best friend, who is somewhat sarcastic or dry and is usually her voice of reason even though her concerns are usually ignored.
Kyoka Kanejo- Yamada's rival and the series antagonist, she is obsessed with perfection and her brother Keiichi.
Mayu Miyano- childhood friend of Kosuda and is in love with Kousuda but she can't seem to make Kousuda realize it.
and of course...
Sex God Yamada Cloud Thing- It is like Yamada's imaginary friend but a really sexual imaginary friend who wants to get Yamada laid and has a white mustache and cane because fuck it.
also other side characters include:
Chicka- Yamada's Sister
Kazuki- Kosuda's Sister
Daisuke- Miharu's Boyfriend
Also while on the subject of characters both the Japanese and English dubs are actually pretty good. While I have only finished the entire show in English going back in watching a few in Japanese you really are good going with either.

Animation/Music
Opening/Ending Theme
While I am no expert on Music or Animation just from out of everything I have watched the shows animation and music are quite average. But mind you the Opening has a tune so catchy even though it is in Japanese you will be humming it for weeks and the video sequence is also nice and fits the show well but is nothing to memorable.
The ending is also quite average video is quite average but the song again is catchy as fuck and it to you will not be out of your head anytime soon.
----------------------------------------------------
Overall:
Overall I actually enjoyed the anime quite a bit but still all characters besides Yamada feel underdeveloped and flat, The story at times seems to drag at points, and the animation/music are over all quite average.
Saying that I defiantly recommend to watch this show if you need something to enjoyably kill some time.
