Daily Lives of High School Boys Review

Boys can be hilariously stupid. This anime takes advantage of that fact.

(Don't worry, they take advantage over girl's stupidity, too)

Plot Summary

This anime follows the daily lives of boys going to an all-boys high school on their shenanigans. Really, it's all in the title.

Story

Each episode is separated into a few, shorter segments, which works to its advantage to fit as many jokes in as possible. While there isn't much of an overarching story to speak of, the individual situations that they get in are usually both realistic and hilarious. It sometimes falls flat, but when they hit it, it's perfect.

Characters

The show features an extremely large cast, and somehow, through its simple yet interesting character designs, you manage to keep them all straight. While each character feels reasonably realistic, there is little character development to speak of.

7.4

Animation

The animation is rather uncomplicated. It can have some unique character designs, but other than that, it has nothing extravagant, it simply does what it needs to do.

7.2

Music

The opening is rather entertaining, and the ending is extremely catchy. However, the background tracks aren't memorable and add little to the anime.

7.3

Overall

This anime is a rather simple comedy. There isn't much past the comedy, as the characters, animation, and music are all of general quality. If you're just looking for something to laugh at, this would work, but if you're looking for anything dramatic or emotional, look somewhere else.

Also, this is actually my second favorite comedy. You'll find out my favorite comedy soon... For some reason I don't get that much into comedies.
