It was really hard to rate this anime (if you watch it you'll see why), the story is rated as poor cause, well, there is no story. But dont get me wrong, i'm writing this review to recommend this. It is so funny. No not because the jokes are clever or they slip on bananas, but because it's so RANDOM. Each episode is 10 minutes long, prob because if it was longer, i'd die of hysteria. (you cant have people dying now can we?). Basically about delinquents at a school and their daily lives. (no, this is not a true story, so dont think this is how society really behaves). The way they comment on situations is well... very unique. Definitely recommended if you're feeling down or bored or just want a good laugh. Humour: 11 out of 10. (show less)

"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. (show less)
