Gakuen Babysitters

After losing both parents in a fatal plane crash, teenager Ryuuichi Kashima must adjust to his new life as the guardian of his younger brother Kotarou. Although Ryuuichi is able to maintain a friendly and kindhearted demeanor, Kotarou is a reserved toddler still too young to understand the reality of the situation. At their parents' funeral, they are approached by Youko Morinomiya, the stern chairman of an elite academy, who decides to take them under her care.

However, there is one condition Ryuuichi must fulfill in exchange for a roof over their heads and enrolment in the school—he must become the school's babysitter. In an effort to support the female teachers at the academy, a babysitter's club was established to look after their infant children; unfortunately, the club is severely short-staffed, so now not only is Ryuuichi responsible for his little brother, but also a handful of toddlers who possess dynamic personalities.

As a big brother myself, I totally connected with this anime on a deep level. I mean, who hasn't had to deal with a pesky little sibling at some point, right?

This anime is all about the slice of life, and boy, does it deliver! It's like they took all the relatable moments from our childhood and put them into a beautiful, heartwarming package. I found myself laughing, smiling, and even tearing up at times (don't tell anyone, though!).

Kotarou, the little dude, is literally the star of the show. His antics had me cracking up, and his curiosity is so infectious! But what really got me ... was the way the anime portrayed the bond between him and his big brother, Ryuuichi. I mean, I've been in those shoes before, and it's amazing how accurately they captured the ups and downs of siblinghood.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "But where's the romance?" Honestly, I didn't even miss it! This anime is all about the beauty of everyday life, and it does it so well. Plus, the characters are all so lovable and well-developed, you can't help but get invested in their stories.

There were moments when I felt like crying, though - like when Kotarou went through that tough phase, and I'm like, "Dude, I feel you, little bro!" But the anime never leaves you hanging; it always gives you a sense of hope and a satisfying conclusion.

All in all, Gakuen Babysitters is an amazing non-romantic anime that'll hit you right in the feels. If you've got a younger sibling or just love slice-of-life stories, you owe it to yourself to check this out!

Mixed Feelings

the saving grace of this anime was Umehara Yuuichirou (voices Kamitani Hayato, which was such a blessed surprise for me) and the cuteness of Kotarou really. the kids were also adorable in their absolutely cheery, indescribable kiddy way.

story - umm, there really isn't any but at least it's wholesome ig?
characters - my umehara biased-ass likes Hayato best
art - looked straight out of 2008/2010 really than 2018 -standard

that's all there is really - this is a pretty laid back anime - a bit 'too' laid back maybe cause this anime doesn't really accomplish much - in all honesty idk what that premise was other ... than to show a bunch of cute kid characters and they shenanigans which i'm sure there is a (RIGHT) audience for - i know i did find some episodes cute and fluffy but that's kind of it.
infact, this actually reminded me of this other anime - which i actually recommend if anyone wants to watch something cute and laid back - "Mira no Kaikata" / How to keep a Mummy - Mii-kun is ADORABLE and u can never get enough of its cuteness really.

overall verdict - could have been better in some ways i think. story isn't very engaging.

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

Gakuen Babysitters. School Babysitters.

If you have a child or a baby and you need a babysitter, how should that person be? I would say, he or she needs to be a friendly, responsibly person. Let that sink deep in your heart. Please before you read my review. Take one minute. Think of a cute little child, which laughs and wants to be hold by you. In your arms. Saying that she or he loves you and you love your child too.

I will keep it short:
Animation is good, there is no real plot but this wasn't the reason why I think this Anime should be banned.

I ... think that the author just thought it would be funny or is "harmless", but this isn't a harmless topic whatsoever. It is disgusting! The most disturbing thing I have watched so far.

Despite of one of Ryuuichis (MC) friends (although has his younger brother in Daycare) who is a total douche for telling his younger brother that he hates him there is another schoolmate who is a pedophille.

Yes you read at right. Pedophille. The anime introduces him as the nice guy, the pretty guy, the handsome guy, the popular guy who is being loved by all girls in school.
He wants to be part of the Daycare club activity. At first I thought he wants to be part of it just so he gets more attention by girls, but I was so wrong.
When he has his "first playing" with one of those daycare babies he gets overwhelmed by a feeling. Nosebleeding.

Every anime fan knows what nosebleeding means.

At first I wanted to forget about it and I wanted to continue watching, because I thought that because of that scene, this character would be the villian, a character everybody wants to hate.
But no.
Of course he isn't part of the club anymore which is great. But his character
appeared again in the same episode, making him loveable and funny.
The whole situation was made like a joke.
If you haven't had this disgusted feeling like me, go check yourself. The whole good reviews on this anime makes me sick.

We have this "father" of twins, which dressed like a kidnapper and he appeard like that in front of his son. Ryuuichi seeing the situation runs towards them to protect the child. But the child was like "meh, he is my father, I just recognized him because of his kidnapper outfit because he is famous and because okachan let me watch his horror/thriller movies".
Ahahahah. No.

I don't want to write more. Just the pedophille argument is strong enough to drop this anime. Like I said, don't get offended but go check yourself if you found this garbage good.

Pedophilles should go to hell and leave our childrens in peace.
If this isn't a real argument for you, you having big problems.



Tschüß.
