(Click on title for link to first episode)
Ok, so I started watching this anime and I decided I [i]had[/i] to post about it. I've only watched two episodes, but so far it is one of the oddest things I have ever watched. The main character is a guy named Yuuta who enrolls in a boarding school that's on some island that's not on any maps called Alphonso Academy. (Yeah, that's [i]very[/i] smart.) He meets these 5 other guys (Joshua, Henri, Red, Sylvain, another one whose name evades me right now) who each have their own distinct personality and are all, of course, bishonen. Besides that, I really have no idea what's going on. I'm pretty much just asking myself what the f*ck every five seconds. And still, there's more.
They sing.
Yes, apparently every episode shows a different character singing a song which only slightly goes with the plot in my opinion. Now, they're good singers, but it's so [i]random[/i] I burst out laughing in the first episode when Joshua started singing, I thought it was a joke at first but then it happened in the next episode too, and further research showed that apparently it will happen in all 13 glorious episodes.
Now, even though this anime is cheesy, stereotypical, random, confusing, weird, funny, cheesy, cheesy, with a side of cheese (did I mention it's cheesy?) it's strangely fun to watch and I'd actually recommend it to those who are looking for something to watch while they're really bored and have absolutely nothing else to do.
(How did this turn into an anime review? XD)
Biggest WTF!? moments so far (spoilers may follow, beware!):
-In episode two when Yuuta decides to go back into the school to find the missing gem even though he's been expelled, and for some reason he has to take all his clothes off, hang them on a tree, and change into something else.
-In episode two when Yuuta runs into the creepy guy with black hair and glasses in the forest and he starts talking about something that has to do with arteries and heart beats and mental disorders.
-The first episode when Joshua started singing.
-When Yuuta found it necessary to say everyone's name after they greeted him in the morning.
-In Episode one when guy whose name still eludes me is talking normally and then solemnly says "I'll never be head of the family" (or something to that effect)
As I watch more, I'll add more WTF!? moments.
