No Sket Dance reviews? Hold my Pelolin. No Spoilers Sket Dance is in short peak comedy. This show was made by one of the students of one of the creators of Gintama there are crossovers. There arent many flaws I can think of so Ill list them out here: Slow warmup. The beginning episodes are more buildup whereas the funniest parts are in the middle and end ones. Too short. 77 episodes doesnt feel like enough. 375https://files.catbox.moe/xclywc.png Now to go on the the good things in the show: Overview Theres action. Theres character development. Theres romance depth and.. surprises. But by far the best thing in this show is just the comedy. I havent seen anything so hilarious yet. There is also a maid costume given to males and females alike. Theres lots of fourthwall breaking deadpan humor irony romantic comedy parody etc all kinds. Its ridiculous and wellcrafted comedy. A few arcs also stand out to me as some of the best comedy anime arcs of all time Genesis Tournament Arc Saayas romance etc. 375https://i.ibb.co/mBdsxKk/Ep39.png And as the second best aspect of the show: aside from the comedy I dont know if Ive seen a show in my life as wholesome as this. The bonds created the friendships the romances the characters and their dreams all of it leaves you with a feeling of Sakura blossoms falling around you. This is probably the biggest difference between this shows and Gintamas humor. Again in terms of wholesome arcs this time this show gives some of the best in anime Field Trip Arc etc. 350https://files.catbox.moe/yp485g.png It is also worth mention that this show isnt exclusively comedy though. When it wants to have something like action it does those kinds of scenes very well. It even has a short sad arc that made me cry for a minute I dont even cry at anime. But aside from that mini arc it never gets too serious to the point of pausing the comedic aspect. Characters We have our main trio Bossun Himeko and Switch. Bossunhttps://anilist.co/character/17244/FujisakiYuusuke is the main character of the show but he never gets quite as much screen time as hed like. Himekohttps://anilist.co/character/17245/OnizukaHime is absolutely adorable: a demon princess with a soft side for anything cute. And Switchhttps://anilist.co/character/17246/UsuiKazuyoshi is a silly little cool smart guy with a mysterious past and the tech expert. And then there are dozens and dozens more characters who are all equally wellwritten. We have: the Student Council a group to rival the Sket Dan the main trios group Shinzouhttps://anilist.co/character/38996/TakemitsuShinzou a Samurai in the wrong era Yuukihttps://anilist.co/character/40307/YuukiReiko a ghostobsessed girl to contrast Switchs technical skills and beliefs Momokahttps://anilist.co/character/38810/KibitsuMomoka another demon princess who hasnt found her soft side yet to contrast Himeko Tsubakihttps://anilist.co/character/19462/TsubakiSasuke a dutybound Student Council member to contrast our lax main character Bossun Romanhttps://anilist.co/character/38868/SaotomeRoman a deredere girl who knows everything thats going on as if its a manga she writes Dantehttps://anilist.co/character/41034/DateKiyoshi a melodramatic visual kei style dude voiced by an actual visual kei band memberhttps://anilist.co/staff/95314/Gackt and far too many more to list here. 385https://files.catbox.moe/lqvtow.jpg Music 10/10. Besides the very catchy ost it is worth note that the OPs and EDs actually parody the ones of some other genre whether thats Shounen Music Drama or Ecchi dont worry tho there is almost no Ecchi in the show. Conclusion If youre looking for an amazing decent length comedy anime I highly recommend this show. I have never wanted a show to go on longer once it ended than Sket Dance. Edit: Im reading farther in the manga now and I will say that the anime is a 10/10 adaption: toning down an extreme scene body swap arc improving the atmosphere of some scenes window neko Tsubaki keeping the feel of the manga jokes when translating them to anime jokes and of course the added music that matches the scenes perfectly.
