Preliminary (5/77 eps)

Sket Dance is a funny, school-based shounen anime. If you are looking for random laughs, strange characters and censored pukes, this is the right anime for you.
Story-wise, there's no real plot to speak of and I don't think that's really necessary but remember this is based on a manga which is long running so things may start to develop soon.
Art is also good in terms of the character designs and the animation is standard.
I haven't noticed the soundtrack so much, so commenting about only the OP/ED, they are lively enjoyable songs but nothing that gets stuck in your head.
My opinions:
I will not say that it is an extremely hilarious anime, but its loud, wacky and fun. Its meant to be a bit childish.
If you're watching without high expectations and looking for an anime that doesn't try too hard, this is it. The exaggerated drama, the weird gags, the outrageous characters all add to the humor of the anime.
Also, there are fun characters like Bossun and the samurai dude and things happen for no reason really, but I'd say that's one of the plus points.
It may not be one of the best anime you'll ever see and I can't talk about the manga, but the plot is next to zero and things just happen and that's the way it is, episode after episode.
The humor isn't witty or anything, the jokes pop out of nowhere and are usually directed towards the characters and their antics, but I would definitely recommend this anime to anyone who's looking for a laid back, fun anime which makes no promises and just lets you feel like you don't have to be serious about everything in life.
Give it a try and see if it suits your taste. As for me, I love the anime, I love the Sket Dan and I look forward to having a good laugh every week :)
