You can see that I gave the story, the art, and sound 5, 5 and 4 however what made me give the 10 out of 10 score is the characters and hype

if you are the type who likes well written stories and good art then sorry prison school would be a waste of time fo you

Now I dislike ecchi but the sheer honesty of characters, male ones to be exact hooks me up, Prison school is the second anime in history to make a sexually likeable cast since they are nuts and go through impossible tasks to achieve their goals, but I liked mainly Gakuto ... for his plans, Gakuto single handedly no joke carries the whole shows. while Gakuto is an average character in terms strenght and intelligence, his cunning plans and ad libing by his sheer will makes him likeable.

The anime is full of tropes and cliche moments especially when it comes to the chairman that tries to act cool but he can't hide his goofy self, Yet somehow the fast pacing makes it a blast to watch

I am a fan of the game series except dmc 2 of course
I can't understand how capcom didn't sue madhouse due to the poor execution
and how could a studio such madhouse play cheap when it gets to something as the great devil may cry series, they should be ashamed
oh my let's start with the opening, if madhouse took divine hate or taste your blood and made amv quality job I would be happy, but no they settled not only on still images but they added the most annoying guitar I heard in my life
Moving on to the battles, how hard is it to animate most ... of the battles, seriously 60% of the time they shoot the sky or other characters and play stabbing noses or don't even bother animating the whole battle
if somehow they do that they keep dragging it with dialogue like in trish vs lady.

Dante is still cynical which is good and I don't bother if he gives cliche lines from time to time but where did his insults to enemies go.
I mean the animation in the beggining of episode 3 is self explanatory of how cheap and low the production was

I think the series suffers greatly from it's age since I was 3 when the anime was released.
I get that the anime was considered cool at 2006, but by today standards and post nut clarity this anime is low key edgy, too edgy that it made me feel asleep in every episode, while I have no problem if the villain is edgy in most cases, the fact that all characters try to act cool is screwed up.
I just cringe whenever revy start smirking and giving her edgelord speech, trying to mimick american action movies is ok, but god mimick something like pulp fiction and not ... the expendables, let us also remember the flashbacks, cowboy bebop is overrated and suffer from the same problem, dropping flashback like I get domestic abuse or I got raped in jail with little explanation and strings to the plot isn't philosophical, it's called poor writing
Madhouse delivered death note which I consider a great anime especially when L was still alive, but no story telling or story flow skills madhouse had in death note are not shown here, the anime is seriously lacking and spam edgyness to fill the holes

The only thing Monogatari series have to offer is the unique art and some good/chill soundtracks, the rest is shit
While hitagi senjougahara and kaiki are fine, the other characters feel dull rendering the enjoyement a solid 1/10
I cruised 60 episodes in the series and I have to say I forgot 95% of the anime when I got to owarimonogatari.
The series had potential but it failed to deliver since it is only a video version of a novel, you might like it if you like novels but not as an anime

since my anime list requires longer reviews I will try to elaborate
the anime is very very ... slow paced, it requires extrem patience but at the end you get little to no reward, take the first arc of the story, those 2 episodes felt like 5, the anime is a chore to watch, if you somehow survive bakemonogatari and more to nisemonogatari then that's the moment of truth, nisemonogatari is the most fun and energetic part of the series, if you don't like it just drop the series
