| Summary: |
Folks, meet Takashi Kamiyama. Enrolled at Cromartie High, where everybody is a delinquent, Kamiyama is apparently the only non-delinquent in the school. Logically, therefore, he must be the toughest in his class - by the rather twisted logic that only a really tough rabbit would lie down with lions. Thus begins a story that parodies every cliché of tough-guy anime that you've ever heard of, and some you haven't. Oh, and Freddie Mercury is in it, too. |

"Cromartie High School" walks a thin line of comedy. You either think it's funny or stupid and I found too many jokes to be predictable and obvious.
The story starts off a bit original for a high school anime but after a while it's just an absurd school. The delinquent theme wasn't used as well as it could have been.
The dialogue can be predictable and repetitive but there are funny and even intellectually interesting moments! In my opinion these don't outweigh the bad times though. For example, one of the last episodes taught me that my opinion of people is subconsciously greatly determined by those people's appearance.
The art looks old. You could say it's original or adds to the comedy but to me it just isn't as good as other series.
One of the reasons I gave this score is because it felt as if the 10 minute long episodes were 20min episodes. That must mean that I was a bit bored while watching this.
I can see how some people might really like this show but it didn't have my kind of humour.
