    Seitokai Yakuindomo




    "The stage is set at Ousai Private Academy which, due to declining birth rates, has transitioned from an all-girls high school to a co-ed. The current ratio of male to female students is 28:524. Within this paradise, Tsuda Takatoshi is inaugurated as vice-president of the student council. The student council has a strict image. However, there are some members who defy imagination..." -AniDB

    Episode 1 - Ryuumaru

    VAs feature such as Youko Hikasa (Mio of K-ON, Junko of Daimaou), Shintaro Asanuma (Istvan of Guin Saga), Satomi Satou (Ritsu of K-ON).

    I wasn't initially that interested in this as the other Seitokai a couple of seasons ago started to get a bit stale towards the end and thus I was predisposed to wonder what a new, very similar series could bring onto the table. It's still largely an open question but at least I found this one immediately more energetic and exciting than the older one - even if more straight-forward as well (some of the girls being quite perverted). The dude, however, is the complete opposite since he was dragged in.

    I think I'll keep watching this for the time being as especially the president girl has antics that greatly amuse me. I also hope this series will feature a bit more outside of the council room than the older series.

    Ryuumaru's subs are stable stuff that gets the job done. I watched Daimaou from them as well and have no complaints.

    Agreed, the other Seitokai show kept tripping all over itself by mixing drama and comedy in a way i didn't think worked at all. This one however knows exactly what it is and what its public wants and does a great job meeting their expectations.

    I didn't feel Ryuumaru was really up to the job though, a couple of the jokes were confusing and lost in the translation

    I stopped watching the other Seitokai anime after a few minutes because I hated it immediately.

    This, on the other hand, I liked immediately. I love the color usage and camera angles, rather refreshing after having to watch the quality from Amagami SS. This has the potential to be better than Kaichou.

    For some reason it was hilarious to me that the boys on the subway had to keep their hands at the ceiling, lest anyone be molested. I don't know why, but I decided to watch the lackluster OP and I could have SWORN I saw a gigantic vibrating dildo. Looking forward to some slightly perverse hilarity, if it can manage to keep my attention.

    There were many vibrating dildos in the OP.

    I.. didn't like this.

    I actually found Seitokai no Ichizon more immediately likable and energetic.

    I'll give the 2nd ep a go, but if it plays out the same as this one, I'll very likely drop it.

    While I didn't dislike it, I definitely prefer the comedy of the previous Seitokai show. I also liked how the protagonist was quite unique and assertive.

    This show has better art, but I think it is aiming for a different type of comedy. Instead of references and parodies, they have perverted jokes and lines. I am not fond of some of the outright dirty comments, but some of the jokes made me chuckle so I'm fine with it.

    I didn't have any problems with the beginning of Seitokai no Ichizon and liked it well enough but somehow it couldn't carry itself all the way till the end. Maybe there just wasn't enough potential material in such a limited setting or maybe it was ruined by mixing in serious stuff into the basically comedic core.

    Nothing says this show will fare any better; only time will tell. However, since it was more light and goofy (I judge the perverted elements such), it might avoid some of the problems.

    I had a decent amount of fun with this one. I liked that the president kept thinking the worst of the guy in terms of perversion while he seemed to be pretty unobtrusive and interested in keeping his head down and going with the flow.

    The other Secretary seems like she could potentially be a lot of fun for me but she didn't show off her personal quirks too much in this ep. The treasurer (since when does anyone call this position on student council accountant?) seemed like a text book inferiority complex loli which isn't my bag so I mostly ignored her.

    When I watched that second episode, I couldn't help but wonder if it was really by Ayako and not by some scoundrel using their name. It was well below the level of quality Ayako finally reached after their struggling beginning years ago. Something must have happened to that group - something sad.

    Anyway, despite the first episode hinting already so not so subtly, this episode still managed to surprise me: The perverted undertones (well, they weren't really undertones much of the time but the prominent features) were in every bloody scene. I somehow thought they were just a part of the theme, not all of it. Not that I'd be complaining as long as they work - and they showed no signs of not working in this ep.

    I found the latest ep more enjoyable than the last. The perverted jokes were still around, but seemed less forced and more flowing. Maybe I was just in the mood for it or something.

    It was better delivered this episode. It was less random than the first, definitely.

    Some updates here as well:

    Episode 2v2 - Ayako
    Episode 3 - Ayako
    Episode 4 - Ayako
    Episode 5 - Ayako





    -- -- - - - - -- -




    Every named female character getting a bit more screentime in this show is perverted... Or maybe the loli isn't, but then again, she doesn't usually get that kind of scenes anyway. Some good and topical scenes in ep 5, like the teacher whispering the moans and the whole loli picture reference (where Ayako had no doubt added a bit of their own grudges).

    Tsuda's sister is also funny. It's not an easy life for him, neither at home or school.

    Getting his ears cleaned by the perverted prez, with his head on her lap, no less... I can think of a harder life than that.

    I have to admit that much is true. However, the result was his sister treating him in an even more perverted way, having interpreted the noises incorrectly. According to his own words, much of his stress is derived from dealing with those kind of comments.

    I understand the stress of being a tsukkomi too. When my friends and I get high, I spend most of my energy commenting on all the illogical things they say and do. I would gladly trade that with perverted comments from cute girls though.

    This series still continues to amuse me. In that sense it has already outlived the other Seitokai. The fact only half of the scenes are located in the council room, the other half being everywhere else, is a significant matter. Plus the fact there are other recurring characters in addition to the core ones.

    And I guess I don't mind the perverted jokes, rather, I like them. Each and every scene ends in one, after all.
