I dug this show. The set-up reminded me more of Invaders of the Rokujouma than the shows mentioned in the review (as in, a bunch of character types from different genres are velcro patched together to see what happens).
And the narrator and the occasionally dark absurdity reminded me of Sabage-Bu! Survival Games Club. But I liked and have missed both of those shows, and this anime brought its own unique charm to the table IMHO. |

This was a show I looked forward to every week. And any show that has its audience looking forward to it has to be called a success.

This was definitely a hidden gem of the previous season I looked forward to the new episodes every week.

Glad this finally got some coverage! As others (and the reviewer) have said, this was a hidden gem that I was actively looked forward too every week. My favorite bits had to be anything involving Rikka secretly incorporating Revolutionary Education into the world.
spoiler[The one I laughed at the most (that still makes me smile) is a 5 second gag when they show everyone's report card after the typical study cram anime trope. Rikka's grades are mostly average, except for the Revolutionary Education class, where she managed a 10 (out of 5). Don't know why I find it so hilarious, but I do.] |

Gave me something to look forward to every week! This was a top 5 for me last season.

I vaguely remember trying it, I think ep 1 was decent but ep 2 just went full fan service and joke vanished and it was just "aha girl have boob, watch them jiggle".

This anime was a dark horse of the season for me. Far from perfect, but really good comedy that knew how to make non-repetitive jokes from its premise.
To bad the nime seems to fail commercially as the manga ended shortly after despite already beiong pretty short. |

I got through the first five episodes of this one, and did find it to be consistently funny, but this ultimately became a "season too packed" casualty for me over the long run. Since the review makes it sound like the series maintained its level humor, I will probably go back and finish it when I hit the lull at the end of this season.

I wouldn't say it was my favourite of the season, but I definitely enjoyed it (almost) every week. I've long had a weak spot for wacky students, and it's been a while since I watched one. It's good to see I wasn't the only person who liked it.

It was cute, fun, and definitely worth watching. There aren't enough shows like it.

The review made me take a look at this series, which I’d neglected. The humor in the first episode seems a bit broad for my tastes, but there was a laugh-out-loud moment spoiler[ with the surprise “the end/cut to ED” moment a few minutes into the episode], so I’ll give it a few more episodes.

This was a fun series, overshadowed in a season packed with top-tier shows. It had me smiling and laughing every week.
This could've gotten messy in a different show, but here Tsuyoshi has no romantic interest in anyone at the school, and the friendship between the four "girls" remains platonic, which works out well for this show. |

The premise and the promise that it should be humorous kept me watching through maybe three episodes, but ultimately, I just didn't find it funny enough.
If you did, I'm happy you found something you liked. |
