High school student Yoshiki Maeda is starting a new year in the all-boys Baraman High School. On the first day, Yoshiki reconnects with his childhood friend, Takuya Saotome, and meets his odd and dramatic homeroom teacher, Teruhiko Saionji. Yoshiki's younger sister, Yuu, is aware of many of these handsome boys and seems to take pleasure in teasing her big brother about them. Yoshiki soon discovers a number of stereotypical romance characters and has no choice but to deal with their outright ludicrous and nonsensical boys' love antics. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I watched this at 1am and actually cried laughing. The art is terrible, the story is terrible, the characters make no sense, and I love it. This is the best parody of those generic school yaoi/BL dramas that could ever be conceived. Everyone looks like they were drawn by a not-artistically-gifted 6th grader that just got into anime. The main character has no eyes and his 7 year old sister remembers playing with one of the MCs friends from 7 years ago. They blow up like 3 buildings. A guy dies and comes back to life. Inthe ending song the characters distort into oblivion in time to the music. I felt like I was suffering some kind of trauma-induced shock while watching it. TLDR: Gakuen Handsome needs to be put in the art museum where it belongs.
To be clear: this is yaoi SATIRE. Unless you've been a weeb since the days of newgrounds, you're not going to get this. ART: Imagine every thirteen year old's deviant art account when they started watching anime. That is the art of this show. And it was intended. The pointy chins, the yaoi hands- all intended. Literally every possible thing is wrong with the art, shading, proportions, perspective, everything. The characters are exaggerated versions of BL art style and the main character has no face which makes it fairly quirky SOUND: Pretty good actually. Goes to show that the animators actually do know what they're doing. Andthat (again) the horrible art is intended. CHARACTER: Every trope and stereotype exists in this show. Every line is either super rapey or absolutely stock. It's a perfect parody. ENJOYMENT: As someone who grew up on anime, this show brought me into a nostalgic state of when I started started trying to create my own images on MS paint. I laughed to the point of tears while watching this show. I've read quite a few cringeworthy BL manga and I can say that this short animation portrays all the faults you can find there with the perfect satirical touch. OVERALL: The type of viewers who will like enjoy this definitely had unironically enjoyed a doujin or something that was probably not much better than this.
*SKIP TO THE BOTTOM TO READ TO SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE WATCHING* ~ Story (9) ~ Each short, three and a half minute, episode explores a new character in this wonder parody harem. There are episodes about a man who can fly using the rotation powers of his spatulas, invitations to go romantically peeing together, fashionable wearing of sumo wrestler underwear (fundoshi), death by cat cafe and many other ridiculous things. Not much else to say but that each episode will leave you thinking both, "wtf did i just watch" and "i need more". ~ Art (10) ~ To me, aspects of an anime like art, music,plot, etc. should be scored based on if they help the anime or not. That doesn't necessarily mean it has to be good quality. That's why, once again, I will say I'm not joking or exaggerating when I give this a 10. The art is what makes the show for me. It's on the level of shitty drawings by a 10 year-old on Deviant Art. I'm no artist but I'm sure I could do better. But that's not what I care about. The art makes me laugh so hard, I cry. Every. Damn. Episode. I will never forget the iconic first forty seconds of the show when the main character walks into the classroom and his teacher turn around with a chin so long, it easily hangs to his nipples. I laughed for a good ten minutes, something anime has never done to me. Sure I've had my fair share of comedy in plenty of anime, but this one really takes the cake. ~ Sound (9) ~ The first time I saw the OP, I thought I was watching something pretty weird but then I saw the ED and the OP seemed pretty tame after that. This category kinda speaks for itself. If you google the ED for this, you'll see what I mean (or you could just watching the show lol). A hilarious ending to a hilarious show. They couldn't have picked a more perfect ED. ~ Character (9) ~ This is where the whole "parody" thing is most prominent, in my opinion. They have the uptight class president, the delinquent and team captain, the childhood friend and the serious guy with a soft spot. A lot of the characters represented tropes you'd see in other shounen ai. It's healthy to watch a good parody once in a while and this one is perfect. I know this fits more into the "art" section, but the character designs were also pretty clever. They chose the most common cliche designs for male characters. ~ Enjoyment (10) ~ This is easily the funniest anime I've ever seen. The enjoyment category is what really matters when you are watching a comedy and I give this one a 10. It keeps you entertained and just when it can't get any weirder, it finds a way in the most hilarious way possible. ~ Overall (9) ~ This anime tried something brave and unique I've never seen in comedy/parody anime. I applaud the creators for that. The three and a half minute episodes were appropriate for a show that would certainly get tired out otherwise. They did not stick with the orthodox way of presenting humor and thought outside of the box. You could tell that they were having a lot of fun with this one and it made it feel more genuine and refreshing. *IMPORTANT: If you didn't already know or didn't read before, this is a PARODY and is not to be taken SERIOUSLY. It parodies common cliches and tropes found in shounen ai, romance and school anime. If you have not seen enough anime, this might not be as funny to you as it is to others. I'm not saying that if you're new to anime, you're going to hate it but I think it is highly likely you will enjoy less*
I believe it's the best show I've ever watched in my life The plot is incredible and very unpredictable and the art is just amazing and very unique The characters are diverse, everyone has deep personality and own style, which makes viewer love each of them And in addition they are so handsome fr I understand why main character has such a difficulty deciding which one he likes the most And the most important thing - opening and ending They are just a work of art, I see how much effort was needed to make such amazing art to match the music and to present the full spiritof the show I think I won't find anything like this ever again and I feel devastated that I can't see more of this wonderful story But still this experience changed me so much and made my life better and took on meaning I believe it will remain in my heart forever 💗
First of all I'd just like to say, the outro for this show is the greatest masterpiece mankind has gifted this earth. It has beaten out Jujutsu Kaisen as my favorite anime outro. Now its fair to say spoiler warning from this point forward. These boys... MEN... are very handsome. The most handsome I have ever seen in real life. and anime. I dream every night that I can go to this prestigious academy. I cry myself to sleep because I know that I will never EVER get the chance to spend time with my favorite most handsome people. My perception of reality has been destroyedbeyond repair, I can no longer look at real men as now they disgust me... No one can ever EVER EVVVVVERRRR!!!! come close to being this darn fine. I'm planning on getting plastic surgery in the next coming years to match my chin to those of the characters in this anime. Overall this anime has been my greatest blessing and my greatest curse. Watch at your own risk. - John Fortnite
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. Overall a 100,000/10 because a 10 isn’t enough. I am now going to spamthe letter v representing the men’s chins because MAL thinks I need to say more things. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.
I'll never understand why this series is so poorly rated ITS SO OBVIOUSLY A JOKE AND I LOVE IT. This show is so garbage but loveable. What more could anyone want in a show? It's stupidly hilarious, Anyone who disagrees obviously takes life all to seriously. I will add, it's more funny to people who watch a lot of anime, like it's still enjoyable if you aren't mega into anime, but the clichés and shit are just far too hilarious. The art obviously isn't anything special, but that's only because it's not meant to be, and the animation is pure dog shit. You could finish this showin about an hour, which is good! And the music videos add to how funny this garbage is. I totally recommend.
My story with this show begins as quickly as it ends. It was a warm summer night, I was feeling especially alone. It was at around 12:30 when a light began to shine in my dark room. 5 godly figures whose brightness exceeded that of every star, and spoke thus. "The pain you've been feeling won't compare to the joy that We shall bless you with." they spoke in unison. "Taste and see that the lords are good; blessed is the one that takes refuge in them." Those words that were spoken unto me, gave me the motivation to continue living. One of theheavenly bodies reached his smooth hand and touched my laptop. "My child," he said in a voice that made me quiver in ecstasy, "I give unto you my greatest blessing." My CRT began to quake with the power of a thousand suns; it wasn't the VCR this time . Once the shaking had ceased I laid mine eyes upon the now holy VHS. "Inscribed upon thine tablet are the holy words of the gods." Those words read thus, "Gakuen Handsome". I placed the Laserdisk upon the golden phonograph; Benjamin Franklin would be mighty proud. After viewing the series of the gods, my Playstation 2 began to rumble. It burst forth, shattering my ear drums with the combined forces of Gordon Ramsey and Simon Cowell in a cacophonous symphony of critique and lamb sauce. The walls within my house gave way to the oncoming explosion, obliterating everything within a mile radius, just as the two weapons which produced this monstrosity. Two nukes was not enough. There will never be enough.
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 tothe 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. :(
I don't know why I'm writing this, I know no one will read but I just need to tell everybody my feelings towards this anime. I'm a yaoi fangirl since I'm 11 and I felt so nostalgic watching this, It satirizes all "all boys school" BL's ever made, It was so funny and I could relate with every little thing, even the art brings me my deviantart memories and as a brazilian the samba scene made me so proud of my country. If you are bored and have nothing do, just watch it, nothing will change in your life but you will laugh
This anime is pure gold. Never have I seen such beauty... Yes, I've been enlightend by the power of the CHINS! Such great artstyle, mh~ gotta love that MS Paint's doing :3 Furthermore, each character with their own distinct personality, each their own beauty... Everything is just so magnificent :3 I recommend this to the ones who also, wants to perceive the power of the CHINS! But beware, only the strong hearts will survive to such divinity...Yes, this anime is a joke. Everything is. But that's what makes it so fantastic XD I cried so much while I was laughing :') Tip : best to watch during midnight ;P
Honestly, after reading and watching countless yaoi/shounen ai anime and manga for years, I can say that this is indeed the best bl there is. This is truly a masterpiece that can't be attained by any other series. The timing is perfect, the story line is a 10/10, 11/10 if I could rate it higher. The situations and scenarios are well thought out and is something out of the box that you'd never see in any other series. Would recommend it for anybody and everybody. MITSURUGI-SAMA~~ PLEASE TAKE ME AWAYwas high and dreamt up this entire thing. The best way to describe it is, it's like the unholy love child of shitty Deviantart "artists" trying to animate on ms paint combined with 13 years old Wattpad "writers". The creators were probably high at 4 am like me while making this. And this is the masterpiece that you get out of that. Enjoy.
Story: 3 Art: 1 Sound: 4 Characters: 2 Enjoyment: 10 The Story is not good. It's not trying to be good, though, it's trying to be a parody, in which it is one of the best parodies of BL, harem, and general school life love stories I've ever seen. The art is horrific and I could do better with paint flip art in a couple of hours(no I couldn't but it looks good if I say I could), and that fact makes the show simply outstanding. I recognise all the tropes as a general fujoshi and a (shamefully so) lover of school life yaoi, and it makes a damn goodjob making the whole concept of those kinds of love stories absolutely ridiculous. Top notch meme satire, I'd gladly learn to read Japanese just to get a better taste of it through the dating sim it's based on. And tbh, the voice acting isn't that bad, it's even got some top notch VA's, but the syncing is, like, gone because of the general lack of mouth movements as a result of the horrendous art. 10/10 would totally watch again. (this is a reposted review since I hadn't finished watching when I first posted it)

Goofy aa satire Most generic yaoi GRRRRRR If you are watching this because you think this is legit, you are beta male
My cousin found out that I had avoided this series and ended up forcing me to watch the the whole series in one go this afternoon. There are some mixed feelings that I have with this series, but it was overall a positive experience. [Story & Characters] The story was alright. I think it was interesting to see all the tv tropes and stereotypes of the characters being displayed and exaggerated in so many different ways. Plus, it was interesting to see the alternate ways that the writers took with cliches and plots that we've become accustomed to. [Art] For one, I know that the artis supposed to be a huge jab at yaoi art styles, but it still bothered me a bit. However, I do know that it was intentional, and that the artists are capable of drawing. It just took a bit of prodding from my cousin to remember that this anime is a piece of work that actually had money put into it to be created and also licensed to be shown on Crunchyroll. [Sound] I was pretty surprised that there were actually a few voice actors that I had known from previous works who played some of the characters in this show. It was fun hearing them have fun and also see that they weren't taking this seriously either. Although the art was kinda iffy for me, the sound quality made me laugh more than I expected to. [Enjoyment] Despite the fact that I called this a "piece of trash" throughout the whole time that I was watching this, I can't deny that I did have a lot of fun with this series. I won't call this a masterpiece that needs to be on everyone's watch list, but I will say that it won't hurt to check out if you have a bit of time on your hands.
hello and greetings from partner watchers meghan and michelle (also known as mochelle and meghanaidtor.) i am very happy to say that we thoroughly enjoyed watching this after coming home from a long day at school and crying at dog videos. we have never rated an anime a 10/10 but if we could, we would rate this a 12/10. the story is outstanding. it follows a clear and firm storyline that doesn't branch out at all, unlike all other anime. every episode is SO consistent and definitely doesn't have a new plot every time. we felt like the end was so gratifying and such a tear-jerker. wefelt salty tears rolling down our entire face and jaws. harry potter does not hold a candle and neither does any show animated or not. who cares about game of thrones. the art style is immaculate, much better than demon slayer or garden of words, one of the worst animations we've ever seen, shame on those animators. this art style of the boys really felt real and helped me connect emotionally and physically to these men. i was drooling over them the entire time. i love hairy long chins. we also loved the amazing exquisite backgrounds and character design which were wildly original. the sound itself and the quality had us just crying as it was. the voices fit the characters so well and honestly, i wish i could hear these voices in real life. i want them to sing me a lullaby. please send me the address of all characters and voice actors or you will be in contact with my lawyer. we absolutely loved the outro and intro. we thought it was the best animation of the entire series, especially the outro. the movements were smooth and natural, i feel like i could also find myself performing a 360-degree circle in the air multiple times and for several minutes. we also loved how long and short at the same time each episode was. three minutes both felt like the length of an entire titanic movie and a quick demo song. it was just good. we definitely cried every episode if not every minute. it was really heartfelt and fulfilling. wishing there was an anime that could shape up. overall, i feel like this anime tops all others. why is deathnote always at the top when this masterpiece exists? why is mona lisa the best piece of artwork when this exists??!! what software was used for the animation? tell me the address of this man so i can win the lottery for him. why do other animators such as mappa bother putting out their animes when THIS EXISTS?? NOTHING. IS. BETTER. (p.s we will be buying the manga :) <3 kawaii)
People who didn't give this a 10 are absolute cowards, completely blind to the most outstanding story, art and animation, the most beautifully composed soundtrack, the immaculate character developement. This anime has everything you could ask for: Amazing comedy, probably written by the funniest people on earth. Beautiful romance between the most handsome men ever made in the history of anime. Every single one of them is a perfect mix of the best characteristics a true man could have. The hottest tea (drama) between these guys, very spicy. The most mysterious mysteries, what is going to happen next? You never know, it is very unpredictable. You never know who'syour enemy and who's the most loyal to you. A great story about fame and how it can change people. The loneliness you feel when a loved one gets famous and you see them changing bit by bit every day while the distance between you grows bigger and bigger (like these men's chins). I'm not going to spoil anything, but there is even a tragic moment, it was very unexpected, very touching and it made me cry because it hit really close. It even has cats. That's right, it has cats. This anime follows the struggles of each and every character perfectly representing what they're going through. Every character develops perfectly throughout the 12 episodes. They evolve so much that you wouldn't know they're the same people even if I told you. A great slice of life where you can see the most realistic represantation of a teenage man's school life and its stuggles. Now let's talk abou the art. The artis simply amazing in every aspect. The animation is superior to Violet Evergarden in details, fps, the colours are simply beautiful and the backgrounds are very well drawn. Talking about backgrounds, the soundtrack for each and every scene is so well composed you'd think you're in a dream. All of the things mentioned above put this anime together perfectly. However, the only thing I missed were festive episodes. Be it a christmas episode, new years, valentine's, fireworks and a beach episode. But who needs those in such a perfect anime? Gakuen Handsome is without a doubt the best anime I've ever watched, even surpassing the (also a masterpiece) great Pop Team Epic. I'd give it a 12/10 if I could.
I don't know where to start with this... I can not believe that I just spent 42 minutes of my day watching this. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. This was by far one of the most entertaining things I have ever seen and was NEVER able to predict what was going to happen next, especially during the cat cafe episode LOL. Anyways, I am absolutely obsessed with the art because it looks almost identical to how I used to draw in middle school (and even now tbh). The characters were perfection, especially the purple haired one (don't judge, there was way too much goingon to remember their names). Anyways, when I watched this I felt like I was in a fever dream, except I had a 110 degree fever and I just consumed copious amounts of psychedelic drugs. If you're considering watching this, don't consider it, just do it.
