It's a very simple comedy with a simple premise, there's nothing particularly outstanding about it.

But that's what makes Aho Girl one of the funnest shows to keep up with of the Summer 2017 season. Its joke structure while not always funny is flashy enough to keep the viewer interested visually that it doesn't really matter whether you find the actual show funny. The show itself works in skits (think Nichijou or Lucky Star), making sure that if you don't find a premise entertaining that it's probably gonna be over in 2 minutes anyway.

The premise of the actual show is essentially that Yoshiko Hanabatake is an ... idiot. She's a weirdo who's only passions in life are the male lead (i'll get to him in a second) and bananas. She gets other weirdos like herself involved in her idiocy, and hilarity ensues. The covers call all the bases you'd expect in typical fashion of a show like this. The male lead (Akuru Akatsu) is a 'no-nonsense' boy who goes to the same school as Yoshiko only because the more prestigious school he wanted to go to was too far away for him to make a daily commute. Yoshiko thinks he's madly in love with him. Yoshiko's mom wants him to madly in love with her. I think saying anymore would be spoiling it for you, but I don't think you'll find a character archetype you want missing from the show.

Everything about it is for the sake of fun, for the sake of enjoying the viewer. That's great! You can definitely take my word for it that Aho Girl is worth checking out this season if you need a new comedy anime to check out.

It's two years after the original events of GTO and this time Onizuka is teaching in a high school. Specifically, a class full of celebrities. But, like always, it's the problem class of the school. In true GTO fashion, Onizuka has to reform his delinquent students individually in unorthodox ways that can only be described as "LEGENDARY".

It's still GTO. Whether you dislike or like the original GTO is going to determine your enjoyment of this one, because the series didn't trip a beat in terms of really anything. I personally find it kinda disappointing that we don't have any of the Class 3-4 people returning ... (other than tomoko at some points), as there was a lot of character in Kanzaki, Yoshikawa, Uehara, etc. but the new characters introduced in the class serve pretty well, just don't be surprised if you don't find yourself as attached to Class G as much as Class 3-4 from the original.

Other than that, there's nothing I could say good about this series that couldn't also be said about the original. It's pretty great.
