Gakuen Handsome

This anime is perhaps one of, if not, the best I've even seen. The plot of this story is super unique and interesting and also being served animation so good, it's almost as good as Project No. 9's works. The characters are full of personality and have depth of character.
This show is best watched with friends so make sure you don't watch this alone. The amount of hark work put into this anime really shows in multiple aspects like putting half the budget into drawing and animating their hot chins.




SUPER HOT GAY MEN FINDING LOVE IN A LOVE POLYGON SETTING. WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this... i don't think i can fairly rate this anime. it's literally so bad, and i love it.

my friends and i watched this over a discord stream in the span of an hour since we kept pausing it to both take mental breaks and gather ourselves because we were laughing so hard.

it's a satire, BL, high school anime, and it is quite possibly the worst anime i've ever seen.

if you're looking at it from a serious angle.
but, looking at it how it was meant to be looked at, it's genius.

the art is awful, the story is pathetic, the characters are... mysteries.
...
and that's what makes it so good. if you're looking for a silly anime that will have you WHEEZING with laughter, gakuen handsome is for you.

If it had raunchiness, and vulgarity, heck, I’d even allow creepy sex jokes – it would live up to it’s potential and be a 10/10. It had a certain character who seemed to be that type, but it just didn't happen. Without those, it's not even funny bad, it's just bad.

The episodes are 3 minutes each and they are so painfully PG that 3 minutes of it is just enough for the watcher to see what’s up, exhale through their nose (like you would when you see a funny short video on your For You page on that other app) and move on to ... the next show. Because every other 3 minutes would just be spent in vain, repeating the same re-clothed, reheated dinner type jokes with little to no flavor to them.

It is pretty clear what this show was trying to do, it’s primarily a parody of the BL genre, harem, high school setting and everything that happens in those shows yada yada. But the issue with it is that IT DIDN’T GO HARD ENOUGH. AT ALL. When they first look at the cover art, what do potential watchers see? This freaky, purposefully made mess created in freaking MS Paint! That’s what drew me in, and I’d assume most of the other people.

It looks completely insane, so why aren't the actual action and story as deranged too? Mind you, it does have some haha hehe wow silliness, funny ED and some predictable shock value elements (can you even call it shock if it’s predictable?) but with what this could've been that's the equivalent of standing in front of a huge buffet with all kinds of delicious and exotic food, and just taking a cracker.

TL;DR: They look like freaks but they aren't freaky at all. :(
