Mixed Feelings
I had high expectations for this anime ever since I watched the Suzu speaking English video which by the way was really funny.

Seitokai Yakuindomo was ruined by excessive sex jokes that became totally redundant after episode 2-3 but I stuck with the show as I was a little bit hopeful that I might see more like the Suzu video in terms of humour but no.

It was funny at first but after that only the occassional laughs were left here and there just by the reactions of characters. You know the anime lost its charm whenever the laughs are from the rarely funny reactions instead of the actual jokes.

The characters were basically copy and paste for those who made sex jokes as that was somewhat their main focus: to make sex jokes every single scene. And the show is basically made up of these sex-crazed characters except for Suzu and Tsuda who are the best characters (if at all) because they don't just think of something dirty to say all the time.

Since this is a slice of life show (a crappy one on that front too) there really isn't much of a story here. For these kind of shows its the characters that are the stories themselves; how they evolve throughout the anime and how they interact after a while of knowing each other. There was none of that here, you could literally watch the anime back to front and it really wouldn't make much of a difference. No one became memorable enough that I could remember their names, hence the lack of names in this review.

This really would have been a 4 if not for the likeable art style and great soundtrack. I managed to put up with this show because of these factors and as I mentioned before, the occasional laughs. It was almost a pain to watch this show so I won't be watching the sequels.

Of course this is just my opinion and I am into sex jokes, done right, considering Gintama is my favourite anime. In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone who hates excessive jokes of the same type and poor character development.
