Trust me. Cromartie High School is one of the worst schools to be in but the best anime for gag comedy. Seriously, the purpose of this anime is to make you laugh. Please do not think while watching but enjoy.

The story follows Kamiyama's school life with his bizarre friends. Of course, this is a comedy. They are a bunch of punks and rough looking dudes but I guess, they're pretty dumb and do pretty stupid things to make all of us laugh. Kamiyama who claims to change this school ends up doing stupid things with the rest of the gang.

The English dub is not that bad. Maybe pronouncing the names slightly off but it's not a big deal. I highly recommend this to everyone. (show less)

Funnier than Stephen Chow, lamer than Jacky Wu, 100 times more stupid than any anime I have ever watched!

Warning: This anime may cause severe brain cells depletion, watch at ur own risk!


The main character, Kamiyama, a regular high school student starts school at Cromartie High. Unfortunately, Cromartie has a reputation for having the baddest, nastiest delinquents in Japan. Everyone looks like some Yakuza, punk, gangster.

However, all of them are also so damn stupid, you would wonder if they had a brain?

There are many colourful and outstanding characters that would make u laugh instantly, Freddie Mercury look alike, a Gorilla and a Robot passing off as a student. However, the gist of the humour is in their dialogues and the reactions of these idiots when they come across something.

Kamiyama tries to change the school and his classmates, but he ends up behaving as stupid as them.

I think it also explains how some people behave in public eye. For example, the tough 'boss' of year 1 looks big and strong, but actually he has severe motion sickness. However, he is unable to tell anyone his problem for fear of him looking weak.

Or the transfer student who was transferred to the wrong school (with the wrong uniform), but did not want to admit his mistake, ended up telling numerous exaggerated lies to his stupid classmates (who ended up believing him!)

Im sure many of us encounter similar dilemmas in our lives.

The moral of the story: If you wanna be an 'Ah Beng', you would probably end up brain-dead.

Watch it, it's worth the laugh and you falling of ur seat!
