At first sight, Cromartie High School did not seem like something I will like but I decided to watch it anyway because Freddie Mercury (lead singer of Queen) is in it! I'm glad I did as Cromartie High School is surprisingly funny!
Story: (8/10) – Good
The story follows the everyday life of Kamiyama Takashi, and his odd classmates at Cromartie High School, an infamous school for delinquents.
The anime is episodic and there's not much of a plot. It starts off a bit slow, but it becomes funnier as the series continues. The deadpan humor, along with the originality of this series make it a pretty funny short series (each episode is only around 10 minutes long).
Characters: (9/10) – Very Good
A gorilla! Freddie Mercury clone! A robot! What more can we ask for? The anime introduces many unique characters and Cromartie wouldn't be Cromartie without its characters.
Here are some of the characters I like:
Kamiyama - I love his deadpan jokes, even though it's never deliberate. LOL
Freddie - A name given to him by Kamiyama! Kamiyama certainly knows how to give names.
Hayashida - I love his purple mohawk!
Mechazawa - He's a robot but he doesn't know that he is. (How could he? It's in his name!)
Art/Animation: 8/10 – Good
The artwork is really rough but it suits the characters as it makes them look really badass!
Music: 8/10 – Good
The OST is quite fun to listen to. I especially like a certain character's theme ^.-
Enjoyment: 8/10 – Good
I enjoy watching the interaction between the different characters and I like the deadpan humor. However, the jokes are often repeated and this makes some episodes a little boring.
Overall: 8/10 – Good
It's fun to watch badass looking delinquents in hilarious situations! All in all, Cromartie High School is a comedy anime worth watching.
