On his first day of high school at the formerly all-girl's Ousai Private Academy, Takatoshi Tsuda is called out for his untidy uniform by the student council president Shino Amakusa. In apology for delaying Takatoshi for his first class—and stating that the group needs a male point of view to accommodate the arrival of boys at the school—Shino offers him the position of vice president of the student council. Though unwilling, Takatoshi finds himself appointed as the newest member of the student council having yet to even step foot inside the school building.
Takatoshi soon realizes that the other student council members who are more than a little strange: President Shino, who is studious and serious in appearance, but actually a huge pervert, fascinated with the erotic and constantly making lewd jokes; the secretary Aria Shichijou, who may seem like a typical sheltered rich girl, but is just as risque as the president, if not more so; and finally, the treasurer Suzu Hagimura, who may act fairly normal, but has the body of an elementary school student and is extremely self-conscious of it. Surrounded by these colorful characters, the new vice president must now work through a nonstop assault of sexual humor and insanity.

-This review has been updated after all the episodes were aired, and was first written while the show was airing. It is meant to help the reader determine if it is worthwhile watching an episode or two to form their own opinions.- Seitokai Yakuindomo is a school comedy with little or no relevant story that focuses largely on verbal adult humor, generally avoiding visual adult humour. As with most shows of this genre, it isn’t mind-blowing or beautiful – throughout the show I found myself noticing little aspects that the show could have done without. However, at the end of the each episode, I lookedback and realized that I had laughed throughout. I had realized that the show may not be spectacular, but it was funny. The randomness and quick pacing of the humor is vital to the show's appeal, and the show begins to settle into a quick, smooth pace after a few episodes.
What is important to note is that this humor will not be for everyone, and after two episodes the viewer should be able to decide whether or not they enjoy the type of humor enough to continue on with the show.
Artwork & Sound: Average; nothing worth highlighting, nothing negative. It is worth mentioning that the Ending song is very catchy, however.
Characters: The characters in Seitokai Yakuindomo are not terribly unique. Each character can be summed up as having some of the usual generic characteristics normally found in anime. However, the characters fit into their roles well, and it is because of this the humor succeeds.
Enjoyment: The enjoyment of this show is what carries my generally favorable review of it (especially as the show progresses into its later episodes). At the end of the episode, you may not walk away amazed, but you will walk away with a few good laughs.

Is it possible to make a comedy revolving almost exclusively around sex jokes, and not have it come off low-brow and immature? The answer? Seitokai Yakuindomo. Thanks to clever wordplay, good writing and actual punch lines, Seitokai Yakuindomo manages to craft a sex comedy that avoids the pitfall of simply being crass for the sake of crassness and is all the more funnier for it. No matter how many jokes about ejaculation they make. By taking their sex jokes down the path of wordplay and and humorous misunderstandings, (instead of making shallow references to dicks and expecting the audience fall over dead from laughter), Seitokai Yakuindomoalmost manages to give itself a sense of class. Almost. But more importantly, this makes the gags actually funny.
Needless to say, those who hate sex jokes, or the easily offended, probably won't enjoy Seitokai Yakuindomo. And yet somehow, the show manages to not be ridiculously offensive, despite containing gags that would make South Park blush. I think this is combination of the way the jokes are presented in an innocent, serious way (sort of like the characters are unaware what they're saying is inappropriate for the situation, if that makes sense) and the colourful cheery art style.
This series makes no bones about what is is, that is, it's nothing more than a platform for a rapid-fire series of sex jokes, and at this, I feel it's a flying success. The show is absolutely hilarious, which is all it needs to be. As a result, there's very little I can criticize it for. It's only real flaw is the length, only thirteen episodes, which is average for most anime, but for Seitokai Yakuindomo, it feels like this isn't enough and it has more jokes to tell.
If you’re looking for a decent plot or a nice story, go somewhere else. Seitokai Yakuindomo doesn't have either of it. Seitokai Yakuindomo is about an all-girls school turned co. The girls don’t really mind this though; it’s more like a dream come true for most of them. Through the whole series it’s one perverted joke after the other. Most of them you can see coming from a mile away, but they will make you laugh anyway.
The animation often switches between normal animation and chibi mode. Usually I don’t like it when there’s too much chibi in an anime, but with Seitokai Yakuindomo I didn't really mind. Perhaps it’s because I put my mind on blank while watching this.
Music fits the series perfectly, especially the dynamic, rhythmic and crazy, and a phenomenal opening and twisted ending. Because of the dialogue and humour it's difficult to pay attention to music in the background, but there are some good pieces. Very well emphasizes moral and peaceful moments in the series.
I generally like the different characters in Seitokai Yakuindomo. I guess they’re actually not that different (they’re all perverted girls), but two of our main characters are normal people, trying to put some common sense in most of the school. The interaction between these is the main power of this anime.
In conclusion, Seitokai Yakuindomo is an excellent comedy series, provided you don't find it's lewd subjects offensive, and you don't mind that there's very little story. Anyone who loves a well-written sex comedy should check it out.
I probably only enjoyed this because of my young age and immaturity, that's right all you pedophiles. COME AT ME BRO.
I mean I'm a masochist.
Wait what.
LeikoHaran
Let me start off by saying that Seitokai Yakuindomo is probably right up there on the top 5 anime to have me in hysterics every 5 minutes or so, if you're looking for an anime full of laughs, simple characters and no emotional story so there's no drama, this is EXACTLY what you're looking for, if you're looking for romance, ecchi, love triangles, drama, sadness etc, you should probably give this a miss, although there are vague hints of love interest. The story revolves around Takotoshi Tsuda, A male high school student who decides to transfer to an all-girls school simply because its closer to home,he ends up being forcibly recruited into the student body council as a male representative. He is joined by three girls;
Shino Amakusa - a second-year student and student body president, she is very serious and wants things done perfectly, she excels in academics, but all that is shadowed by the fact that she is a complete pervert, and the main reason she took an interest to Takotoshi was to 'examine' him in Health and Social class (Yep, you know exactly where i'm going with this), she is very self conscious about her breast size, and the fact her secretary, Aria, is well endowed, is the recipe for a perfect jealousy driven relationship between the two.
Aria Shichijo - Also a second year, she plays the role of the student body secretary, she comes from a very rich family and just by appearance you'd expect her to be the most mature character...and if you make that assumption, you're horribly wrong.
Aria is extremely perverted too, more than Shino is, she manages to twist and turn even the most innocent and simplest of sentences into a fanfiction-esque scene which appear in thought bubbles, because she is absurdly rich and well pampered, she often finds herself in completely ridiculous situations, such as standing blankly in front of a door expecting it to slide open, or standing on the bottom step of a staircase thinking its an elevator. She too is incredibly smart, and is ranked second, underneath Shino, of course, in her class midterms.
Finally we have Suzu Hagimura, who is in the same year as our unfortunate protagonist, again, she is very smart and often brags about her ability to do 10 digit arithmetic calculations in her head to cover up the fact she's not really good at any physical activities, although she is 16 years old and considers her self to be superior to Takotoshi, she is often the butt of the joke when it comes to childlike appearance and height as she is less than half the size of the other three and in one episode, needs a chair to reach the top shelf of her own cabinet, this often causes her to go into a super-saiyan rage whenever her unnaturally small stature is brought into a conversation, and of course, Takotoshi is the straight man for them all.
What i like about this show is that all the characters have their own traits , pros and cons which make them completely different from one another, although these characters aren't well flushed out with heaps of back story and social problems (they don't need to be for this genre of anime) the characters end up being likeable anyway, whether its for the witty banter between them in literally EVERY scene, or whether its the shear pervertedness of Shino and Aria (especially Aria, damn man) its definitely a must watch.
I'd recommend this anime to anyone, especially to fans of K-On! or Lucky Star (although the themes in this are significantly more mature than anything in K-On! and Lucky Star)
Thankyou for reading, message me an anime you want me to review and have a good day!

Seitokai Yakuin domo: The Show Prison School and Shimoneta Wanted To Be! Preface: The Japanese school setting + student council + all girl's school with few male entrants + perverted characters + ecchi/fanservice/nudity/andor harem is a really tired, really overdone concept at this point. For example: there have been at least 20 such shows involving at least 2 of the aforementioned tropes just THIS year. Count 'em. The reason that there are currently so many of these shows is less that they're a real "work" and more of a "product" designed and marketed specifically to an audience that consistently and routinely purchases their product in largequantities. It's like the cigarette of anime. They're not good for you, but a lot of people really love them, and keep on buying it even though they know it's killing them.
However- even the most cynical reviewers among us eventually realize that even the most recycled concepts and tropes can still make for an effective and enjoyable show... IF executed properly. Though Seitokai Yakuin domo includes all of the above with the exception of the last trope I mentioned, the writers took the established tropes and turned them upside down, adding some freshness to a nauseatingly stale formula. It's all about turning that "girls can't be pervs" trope upside down, and in that regard- a great success!
Even though it's a comedy- I only laughed out loud one time at Seitokai Yakuin domo. It's kind of like The Big Lebowski (or any Coen Brothers' film for that matter) in that it's not actually funny at all.
It's entertaining.
It's a chuckle comedy- not an uproarious, couch clutching, gasping for breath humor riot. They do tend to wear out the jokes after a while, and if you never found them funny in the first place (like in Prison School), then you're in for a long watch.
If incessant panty shots and boobs are your main attraction to these shows, SYD is NOT for you.
Art/Animation/Sound/Voice Acting: 7
Truth be told, I really only watched this show because it was animated by GoHands, and it looks like most anime made in this decade: shiny, colorful, and pretty fluid. One thing I noticed (and liked about this anime) was that nobody had ridiculous hairstyles NOR did they have unnatural hair colors. Everyone actually looked like a normal human being, which, for a school anime, is a HUGE step. +1 for progressiveness.
The voices are handled competently, veteran Yoko Hikasa (Rias Gremory) was great as Shino, and Satomi Arai plays the deadpan creeper Hata (She also portrayed Saotome from the more recent Shimoneta, a very similar character hmmmmmmmmm)
Story: 6
SYD was adapted from a long running 4 panel comic that's essentially just a collection of making fun of trope scenes from other anime, along with their own flavor of sex jokes. That said, it's difficult to take 30 or 40 four panel one liner jokes and turn that into a single episode. GoHands somehow manages to make it flow into an easy to follow comedy show about life in the student council with this pretty radical choppy pace coupled with segments that take the original jokes and expound upon them. They added a lot more context and setup, and then let it play out.
You're actually shown the punchline as a commercial slide, and then the scene plays out, giving you something to chew on and wonder where this weird, out of context line comes from. It definitely helps with the impact as well- kind of an "OHHHH" moment for the longer jokes.
The general premise of SYD is that Tsuda, our MC, is a newly accepted student to the formerly all girls Ousai Academy. On his first day, he makes the mistake of not tightening his tie, which attracts the ire of the Student Council President, Shino- who teaches him a lesson by fixing his tie, strangling him, and then forcibly inducts him into the Student Council. The rest of the show takes place over the school year, with the various holidays, sex jokes, outings, gross out jokes, and mischief that come along with it.
Characters: 7
There are four student council members, President Shino, VP Tsuda, Secretary Aria, and Treasurer Suzu. There're also four other characters of note: the creepy lady teacher Yokoshima, who is basically a pedophile and tries incessantly to get with the few guys attending the school, Hata, the monotone speaking newspaper club member who always shows up to take scandalous and incriminating photos of everyone, Mitsuba, the adorably innocent (of the horrible sexual things Aria and Shino say) Judo girl, and Kaede, who is man-phobic.
Each character has an in show 4th wall breaking description: Shino, "the perfect human" (who is an incorrigible pervert), Aria, "the multitalented princess with big boobs" (rich girl airhead everyone fawns over, also a pervert), and Suzu "IQ of 180" (height of 4'5", terrible napoleon complex and hates being treated like a child). Tsuda, our MC, is basically the world's most legendary straight man. He serves for there to be a brick wall to hit for the endless stream of sex and poop jokes coming from Shino/Aria.
Enjoyment: 6
The actual content of the jokes is what I referred to as refreshing in the beginning. I have not seen an anime with such disgusting, foul content toilet jokes since Panty and Stocking. It goes so overboard with perversion of speech and dirty jokes + toilet humor that it's not even scandalous anymore, it's commonplace. You know, without a doubt, that everything that comes out of Shino's or Aria's mouths is going to be a) a bad sex joke, b) a women's hygiene gross out joke, or c) some "accidental" misreading/pronunciation of a normal kanji that then turns the meaning into something sexual.
While these are fairly common in comedy anime, again, the degree to which they describe some of this stuff is pretty nasty, so +1 for edgy.
Overall: 7
Well, this ran a lot longer than I wanted it to- but it's important to see more formative shows in genre tropes- and one can see the obvious influences this show (and the comics before it) had on such newer titles as Prison School and Shimoneta.
Aria: "Wow, a whole year has passed. It only felt like a few months."
Shino: "In an anime, that'd be about 13 episodes!"
Tsuda: "That's a little too dangerous..."

Before you go all harem on this show, just think back to your blooming adolescent and teenage years. For boys and girls alike, wasn't your mind constantly filled with inappropriate thoughts? There wasn't much of a trigger to set you off; testosterone and estrogen are powerful little demons. So instead of marketing those stupidly impossible innocent anime girls other series seem so fond of, why not appeal potty humor to a wider audience that each individual has, at one point, experienced? I may not know much about how the opposite gender thinks, but for us guys, certain thoughts flit about our heads like angry bees,never leaving us alone. This may all seem off-topic, Seitokai Yakuindomo delivers the highest of quality of sexual jokes, all while incorporating a storyline and masterfully pulling off a non-harem, hilarious and wonderfully executed anime.
Story: 8/10
The story is simple: an all girl high school recently became co-ed. STOP. Before you go further, isn't your first automatic judgement to insult another hentai-style slice of life anime? Of course! Any sane person would. A friendly, non-perverted guy by the name of Tsuda enters the school, unwittingly tripping off Shina Amakasu and the rest of the all-girl student. After some misunderstandings, randomness and hilarity, he is forced into the student council - with gratifying results.
Now don't get me wrong, haters may understand that these sort of anime don't have a storyline. Most of the time, they're right. Here, it does apply somewhat; a frilly way to tell a story, so to speak. However, I had a wonderful time watching the student council do their every day activities - with a twist. These aren't your normal, typical, average, innocent virgin high school girls; these are some of the craziest anime girls I've ever come across. There seems to be no end to the jokes and innuendoes; and interestingly enough, TSUDA (THE GUY, FOR FREAKING SAKE) is the innocent one. What in all that is mighty in the anime world has this come to? A guy? As the sole non-perverted rock amid this flood of girls? This anime was so different, I was instantly hooked - and so should you be.
Art: 9/10.
The animation was gorgeous and bright. I typically don't like overdone scenes or underdone scenes, and this didn't disappoint me in the lease. There were times when they decided to go for the chibi look randomly and drew the characters innocently - an interesting juxtaposition, because while in chibi mode the characters decided to say funny little innuendos.... Ah well. Enough gushing. What I didn't like? Sometimes the artwork borderlined porn. No way out of that... I mean, it looked fine and all, but trying watching those scenes while there are young people around you! Geez, put some CLOTHES ON. But seriously, even then the artwork never dipped below par.
Sound: 9/10
The OP and ED. Wow. What an upbeat, fantastical way of starting an anime. The OP was perfect and catchy, on my ipod in seconds, and the ED was.....weird. Sorta serious, sorta not. The background music melded perfectly with the on-screen mood, but in and of itself I was not impressed as much. Though I know I repeat this in my other reviews, but seriously, pay attention to the voice acting. Try acting out those scenes by yourself. It's not easy; but when you can make perverted jokes into a mic without eliciting even a laugh, that takes some guts. The voices were spot on, serious and joking, warm and memorable.
Characters: 9/10
Lovely, lovely cast. Perfect for the story, each character represented a typical sort of archetype. Tsuda, the innocent one; Hagimiru, the tsundere, the list goes on and on. Each character had their moments and contributed a little more to the story; even Tsuda's little ball of comedy managed to get a good laugh out of me. But seriously, I loved each and every character, because they simply melded so perfectly. It's so hard to imagine a different cast or to introduce another main character, because the magic happened with this perfect combination. It wasn't perfect; there were some stupid parts (even the best cake may be too sweet for some people), but overall, it was beautiful to see the interactions take place. Though there wasn't much of a character arc at all for anyone, I enjoyed their daily banter nonetheless.
Overall: 9/10
Why is the average score so low? Many people looked past what this anime was really trying to go for (toilet humor) and just hit it with a low score and moved on. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy; if you watch the first episode and grudgingly try and finish it, you're experience won't be nearly as pleasant than if you were to go into watching each episode with enthusiasm and a piece of pie. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this short but sweet little 13 episode anime. Don't look at the superficial, shallow characteristics; dig a little deeper, and what you'll find may actually not be a condom but a vibrating Christmas present...

"Dick-jokes the anime", these were the words that got me interested in this show, and it I couldn't describe it any better. It starts off seeming like a typical romcam/harem, but Seitokai Yakuindomo has its own unique genre of humor that sets it apart from the norm. As a show with constant references to dildos, cum, sex, incest, boobs, panties, dicks and literally everything dirty you can honestly think of, in a show about high school girls, you would think this would be ecchi, but it's not. It's a slice of life anime with some of the most creative and unique comedy I have everseen.
The story revolves around the typical harem lead male surrounded by beautiful girls (The school is 95% women), but the great thing about it is that each girl represents a porn category/fetish. Notable one's include incest, extreme fetishes, innocent/amateur, voyeur, midget, and milf, but the list goes on. They all have amazing personalities that compliment their "role" in the show's twisted sense of humor.
The writing is excellent, I find myself occasionally bored but more often than not I was laughing my ass off. The jokes are generally creative, and some scenes are almost impossible not to laugh. If you find immature humor funny, such as the type of stuff you might see in Gintama, this is a show made for you.
On the flip side, arguably this shows weakest point is its lack of story. It heavily reminds me of something like Kiss x Sis in that regard, it has some minor plot regarding entrance exams but for the most part every episode feels like an OVA, and the episodes themselves are so fragmented that it can sometimes be hard to follow.
In addition, as mentioned already there times where the humor does get a little stale, since it is basically sex jokes as far as the eye can see. Sometimes the humor feels forced and the jokes are word for word repeats of previous episodes. These are few and far between but keep this in mind.
Anyway, by now you should know whether or not you'll like it. Perverted humor is not for everyone, but if you enjoy it, this show has made a science out of it.

What comes to mind when you think about high school girls? No, I’m not talking about perverted stuff, but rather how they act. Most of us think that high school girls are shy, oversensitive and keep to themselves and that’s pretty much how they’re depicted in a lot of media these days, especially in anime. Seitokai Yakuindomo shows us a different side of modern teenagers and brings lots of humour and parody with it. Basically, Seitokai Yakuindomo is about a teenager named Tsuda Takatoshi who decides to attend Ousai Academy due to the fact that it’s close to his home, even though this particular high schoolused to be a former all-girls’ academy up until recently. During his very first day at school, Tsuda meets a couple of girls who turn out to be members of the student council. Some of them are actually quite perverted and often spurt out the dirtiest jokes, but what’s worse is that they recruit Tsuda into the student council and even go as far as to make him vice-president. This all happens in a matter of minutes and our unfortunate hero has little say in any of it.
During the thirteen episodes of Seitokai Yakuindomo you’ll be constantly bombarded with dirty sex jokes, perverted talk and unwanted information about the female body and their period cycle. There are little to no serious scenes in the entire anime and most of it comprises of convenient situations to score another sex joke or a dirty conversation, with Tsuda often used as a serious retort or an enraged response.
There aren’t too many characters in the anime, though most of them are put to good use and no of them feel forced or useless. You’ve got the protagonist, Tsuda Takatoshi who just wants to lead a normal life and high school but is constantly attacked by his fellow female students with dirty jokes and unwarranted accusations. Then there are the three other members of the student council, all female, obviously. Shino Amakusa is the president of the council and maybe the most perverted of all characters, always available when you need a quick dirty joke. Aria Shichijou is the mature rich girl, though her mind is just about as perverted as that of Shino’s. Last but not least, yet definitely the shortest, is Suzu Hagimura, the intelligent and silent girl. She is about the same age as Tsuda, but has the body of an elementary school student. You won’t get any dirty comments from her, but her short height will often be used as comic relief and target of several jokes.
Seitokai certainly works well as a comedy and its non-stop approach at humour and constant verbal gags keeps every episode fun and entertaining. What the anime lacks in proficiency it makes up for with its engaging plot and easy-going nature. It’s definitely not a great series and apart from an episode that takes place on the beach or another one where our heroes celebrate Christmas, Seitokai Yakuindomo lacks diversity. Most of the anime takes place at the academy, namely inside a couple of rooms and on a corridor. Whenever our characters are taken in a different location, it’s often only so as to set up a joke or make a funny remark at something in that particular environment. Another weak point is that every episode seems to be cut down in short scenes, each about one minute, that feature some random dialogue between a couple of our characters followed by one or two dirty jokes. Every scene starts with a build-up to the future joke or gag and usually ends directly after its purpose has been complete and the laughs and giggles have taken place.
It’s rather hard to predict if you’ll like Seitokai Yakuindomo or not. Some will be drawn to it by its simple premise and fast pacing while others are going to be turned off by the overwhelming amount of sex jokes and weird character interactions. I really didn’t know what to make this series during the first few episodes and I simply couldn’t connect with certain scenes, which in the ended left an awkward impression on me. I got used to it eventually and after a while each episode turned out to be even funnier than the last one. It’s not an anime that I’ll remember for too long, though. It all comes down to what you’re looking for: there are enough laughs to be had in Seitokai Yakuindomo and it’s rarely boring or changing pace, so you can hardly go wrong with it. If you’re looking for a little more substance, on the other hand, then I advise you to keep on searching.

This anime seems to defy normal logic. When told "this anime's best points are SEX JOKES!" I am sure most people would lose interest. Yet, this anime somehow is able to put itself out there with other great plot filled tear jerking anime simply through the uniqueness it holds. The jokes are played well, the characters contribute well to the flow, and it seems to carry a universal appeal. Even if you don't understand the jokes, the art and music alone would be a good enough a reason to at least give it a try. Highly recommend to just about anyone!

It's my second review, so don't be very harsh with me. I think you'll like it! ART: 10 The art in this Anime is, of course, great. And in the biggest part that's because this is an Anime of 2010. You'll enjoy watching the art which is present in this Anime, because it's a very good one. All emotions and feelings are expressed very well on the characters' faces. STORY: 9 This Anime has a very original story and characters. There are no other Anime titles which have such plot. A guy, who recently changed his place of living, tranfers to a school which just changed from a girls'one to a co-ed and now it's still full of girls. Don't think bad about him! He's not a pervert. The reason he did this, is because that school is near the house he lives in. In the moment he entered the school, he is noticed by the Student's Council President and is enrolled immediatly in Council. The reason of this action was the thing that "school needed a male's point of view" and she wanted opinions from a male's perspective. And after this, he gets through a lot of events with girls. Oh, I forgot to mention, Student's Council consists of 3 girls. The two of them are so perverted! I couldn't believe my eyes! I have never seen such perverted girls in my life! You'll laugh a lot! It's so funny!
CHARACTERS: 10
As I said, the main characters are 3 girls from Student's Council and Tsuda that transfered there. Aria and Shino from Council are the most perverted girls you had ever saw. Suzu is a very wise one, but is considered to be a child because of her height and some of her habits. The main protagonist, Tsuda Takatoshi, is a normal boy like all of us, but not as perverted as some of us. I liked a lot how the President, Shino, behaves. She's so funny with all her erotic thoughts. If you like to watch comedy and funny Anime titles, then it's for you.
SOUND: 9
I can't tell very much about this part of Anime, because you'll not have time to notice such things, 'cause you'll laugh a lot at some scenes.
The OP & ED are good and they were chose very good to this Anime. Sound great characterizes events that happen and emotions/ feelings that characters experience at that moments. Sound environment doesn't bother you, but suits very good this Anime!!!
ENJOYMENT/OVERAGE: 10
This is a very funny Anime you must watch if you would like to see what happens in a girls' only school with a perverted Student's Council President. You will laugh at her rules and actions. Also, in Anime are used uncensored words (like masturbation, anal/oral sex, vagina, etc.) that are censored due to the fact that it's a PG-13 rated Anime. I recommend you to watch Ayako release (the same I watched), because of some reasons:
1) Words that are audio-censored in Anime, are translated in subs, so you'll read the real things that are said. I mean, subs translate to you those things and you'll laugh more than if you'll watch a Raw (I mean, those who can).
2) This is a very good subgroup and you'll agree more with this after you'll watch this Anime.
This subgroup translated all words with double-meaning (that are often used), where one meaning is perverted/erotic for sure. The fact is that the President, Shino, very often thinks about that one. Also, were translated all Japanese words that are related to Japanese culture/history and are known/used only in Japan. (For example, Nyotaimori is the practice using women's bodies as a serving dish, usually for sushi.) (would you like to try something like that with your loved one? addressed to male part who reads this review).
In conclusion, watch this Anime ([Ayako] 720p release) for a good mood and AMAZING Impressions!!!!!

There seems to have been a lot of recent anime adapted from 4-koma mangas recently, Seitokai Yakuindomo (SYD for short) is one them. ====================*WARNING*====================== If you are the type of person who are not into constant sex related jokes and innuendos, then you can stop reading now, this anime is definitely is not for you. ====================*WARNING*====================== With that said, let's move on. Story: The main character, Takatoshi Tsuda, is forced into joining the student council of Ousai High School, which was formerly an all-girls school, by the president Akamusa Shino, in order to have a male's perspective into issues surrounding the new now co-ed school. This being a 4-koma comedy, thereis pretty much nothing that you can call an overall plot whatsoever as the anime is based on the 4 student council members and the time they spend there.
As mentioned above, at least 90% of the comedy in the series are all adult, sex-related jokes. It will be hard going into an episode and not hear the characters use words like cum, penis, vagina, dildo, masturbation, etc...you get the idea. The series tries to deliver the jokes in new and clever ways each time, but even then some people might find the show start to get repetitive and old pretty fast. That was not the case for me luckily.
Art:
While the art is not outstanding, the series shines with a bright and vibrant colour scheme. The chibi-deformed versions of the characters look adorable, and overall the animation is easy on the eyes.
Sound:
In terms of sound, the VAs do a respectable job in their roles, and with many well known voices in this series it all comes together nicely. In terms of BGM, its what you would expect from your standard comedy, high school anime, nothing really worth mentioning. The OP and ED themes however are surprisingly catchy and im still looping them even as I write this.
Character:
As far as character goes, I think it was one of the more enjoyable aspects of SYD. While none of the characters are really unique and they all follow common stereotypes (Tsuda being the tsukomi, Aria is the rich girl who is ignorant about common things, Hagimura is the loli with a complex over it, and Shino is just Shino), they manage to blend together nicely and produce plenty of humorous events throughout the series, mainly because 90% of the cast are pretty much perverts. The side characters as well give the series an extra boost in comedy and many of them are likable. While romance is not the main focus of the series, by the later half of the series we are shown a bit of possible future relationship between Tsuda and some of the girls, in a show were everything is adult related comedy, its a rather nice addition and it doesnt derail the series' direction.
Enjoyment:
I will be the first to admit that I wasnt into the show for the first 3 or so episodes, I usually dont enjoy the animes that are mostly about perverted talk/actions (latest example: B Gata H Kei) but this show slowly won me over and ended up becoming the show I was anticipating the most this season for reasons I still havent figured out myself fully (maybe the characters). I can say for sure that this series does get better as it goes along, and it does not lose momentum from there (except maybe the last episode).
Overall if you are looking for a series with a potty mouth, then you must not look any further than this. If you can giggle at jokes involving dildos, penis, erection, vagina, masturbation, etc...you will also find the comedy in this series to be pretty damn funny. And if you are not into this kind of stuff, maybe the small romance scenes in the latter half might keep you interested. Either way from the very beginning this series sets its target audience, and if you belong in this audience i doubt you will be disappointed. For those who just cannot enjoy a more "dirty" type of humour, then you are looking for the wrong anime. With hopes of a possible second season, I can say with confidence "I love Ousai, I love SYD".

I told myself I'd write a review for Seitokai Yakuindomo immediately after finishing it, but eh, a couple weeks later is okay, right? Story: 6 Seitokai Yakuindomo's story is very cliché. A boy starts attending a school that used to be girls-only, he joins the student council, which has only female members--we've all heard it before etc, etc. If you're looking for epic plot and character development, look elsewhere, Seitokai Yakuindomo is good for laughs, not becoming a better human being, going on an adventure through anime, or other things like that; It's not even good for fapping. The reason I personally enjoyed Seitokai Yakuindomo was preciselythat. Seitokai Yakuindomo is perverted by all means, but it's in a different way than the majority of ecchi shows...It's actually funny. Throughout this 13-episode Seitokai no Ichizon lookalike, you'll actually laugh. The comedy ranges from simple comedic timing, to completely perverted jokes, to out-of-place 'wtf why is there a teddy bear with a ballgag?'. This show is a very fun watch, but I will tell you to steer clear of it if either of the following apply to you: 1) You're looking for something serious 2) You dislike anything remotely related to ecchi.

SYD's art is nothing amazing, but it's definitely nothing bad either. The animation is nice and flows smoothly and the characters are cute. Of course there is some censoring of certain.. objects.. but that doesn't take away from the show because you'll definitely know what they are. And it's not like there is any explicit ecchi content (as in naked people) to censor.
Sound: 7
In terms of Seiyuu, SYD has decently popular voice actors. Shino and Aria are voiced by Hikasa Youko and Satou Satoumi (the voices of Mio and Ritsu of K-On!), respectively. And, my personal favorite, Arai Satomi (Kuroko from To Aru Majutsu no Index/To Aru Kagaku no Railgun) lends her voice to the expressionless newspaper club member, Hata Ranko. There are no complaints to be made about the voice acting in SYD, and hey, I like the opening as well. Osai Girls and Boys~!
Character: 8
The characters really make the show for me here. Well maybe not the characters, but the things that they say. Shino: tall blunt school prez, Aria: tall, busty Shirley-lookalike Ojou-sama, Suzu: genius loli Nagi-lookalike with a Napoleon complex, Tsuda: generic too nice anime lead. I just gave you a good idea of the characters you will encounter when watching Seitokai Yakuindomo, I'm sure they sound pretty much as generic as possible, but if you watch the show, I think you'll find that with good, entertaining writing, even the most generic characters can become hilarious.
Also, an honourable mention to Yokoshima-sensei, she's awesome.
Enjoyment: 9
This is what made me continue to watch Seitokai Yakuindomo throughout summer 2010 season. The writing on this show is hilarious. I liked this show because I never knew what the characters were going to say next, but I knew whatever it was, it'd be funny. I laughed through every episode and you will too, as long as you don't fall into one of the 'do not watch' categories I mentioned earlier.
I recommend this show to anyone who wants something that will make them laugh, doesn't mind pervertedness, and has free time on their hands. This show isn't a total /must see/, but if you enjoyed what I said about it in my review, I recommend checking it out :)

Hello :3 This review is fully intended to all of you who's about to decide whether to watch this fine looking anime or not. Okay, so here goes... Seitokai Yakuindomo tells us about a normal-looking guy who's going to spend his 3 years of high school in a former all-girls school which has just gone co-ed. Suddenly he got recruited by the student council on the first day of school. Things went smooth for him, and then at some point, romantic flags comes appearing out of nowhere just like a cliched rom-com anime. If you think that's what going to happen in this anime, then you're ahundred percent wrong.
Seitokai Yakuindomo is actually about a group of student council of an all-girls school that has just turned into a co-ed school. This group consist of 4 people, 3 girls and a guy.
We have a diligent, smart, athletic president whose sex orientation is a bit screwed up, Amakusa Shino
A beautiful, rich secretary whose having puberty problems just like the president, Shichijou Aria
A tiny-looking girl who happens to be the treasurer, Hagimura Suzu
And the normal, straight-man, main character, and also the vice president, Tsuda Takatoshi.
Everyday in the student council room is day full of Tsuda's punchline reacting to the immaturity of Shino and Aria regarding sex. Anddd, sometimes it's just Suzu's insult to others when she's being teased tiny.
Oh, before I forgot, this is a gag anime which consist of serial short skits. This anime contains lots of jokes related to sex. I suggest you to be an adult to watch this, or at least have a sufficient knowledge of sex. Personally, I watched this when I was younger and found some "things" hard to understand, such as dildos, chasity belt, masturbation and other stuff which is a completely unsuitable for Justin Bieber.
I don't really know if this could be considered funny or not. I mean, I laughed a bit, but so often it just keeps giving sex jokes which I couldn't really understand.
If you're looking for a rom-com anime, then you're definitely looking at the wrong place.
If you're looking for a comedy anime, I can't say that this anime is guaranteed to be funny, since some jokes are not for everybody.
So, I could say that if you're a person with a reasonable knowledge of sex, and also a reasonable sense of humor, Seitokai Yakuindomo is 'maybe' the right choice to watch.

SYD...if you're looking for a good laugh, this is definitely one of the best out there. Full of shocking and vulgar sex jokes, there is no filter on the mouths of these hilarious characters as they try to live the life of high school students while controlling their unmatched sex drives. Story (7/10): The story itself is pretty simple. Tsuda Takatoshi is a new student at Ousai Academy and he is accidentally forced to join the student council (all girls) by day one. What he doesn't know is just how perverted the president and vice president are of this council. Whether it's discussing how toexperiment S&M on teddy bears or pester Takotshi about how many times he "finishes" per day, there is no rest for Takotshi as he tries to keep up with the seemingly unlimited energy of the council.
The weakness of this kind of comedy, however, is that there really is no central plot. Each episode is self-contained and does nothing more than set up the situation for the jokes, so anyone looking for a profound story, a slice-of-life, or even a school romance will be disappointed.
Art (9/10):
Good animation. Nothing worth noting.
Sound (8/10):
Thought the opening and ending themes were pretty good. Nothing super spectacular.
Character (8/10):
There's no doubt these characters were hilarious. Coupled with Takatoshi and Hagimura's stunned reactions, these characters will keep you entertained from start to finish. Do not worry that the jokes are only sexual; they honestly don't get old. But this is all assuming we look at these characters from a comedic perspective. Once again, there aren't any deep background stories or in-depth looks at their personal struggles; this is no slice-of-life. It is pure comedy.
Enjoyment (10/10):
I thought this show was hysterical. I never found the jokes repetitive since they were so shocking; unfiltered vulgarity has its own charm. Even if you're not a fan of sexual jokes, I suggest you give this type of humor a try.
Overall (8/10):
Approach this show as if you would approach a stand-up comedy: don't expect any deep stories, expect comedy and you will receive.

I would refer to this show as 'sex jokes: the anime', but even that title would be too offensive to the idea of a joke. Quantity should never supersede quality. Unfortunately, it appears this show's writers missed the memo. I'll grant that, as a non-Japanese speaker, it seems at the very least that some 'good' jokes that can't be translated went over my head, but at this point, it may not have made a difference. Story 4/10: The basic storyline is about as cut-and-dried as any other. Stop me if you've heard this one before. A slice of life high school anime about a male protagonist -the only person with common sense of course - surrounded by a harem of girls (a tsundere, an obnoxiously nice girl, a nerd, an annoyingly high pitched little sister) who are forced together by some sudden and random event but quickly become close friends over the course of the school year. Basically, the vanilla ice cream of anime.
Of course, however, there is the twist! That being that every five seconds, a character makes some unnecessary and unprovoked sex joke.
At first, the jokes are cute. They aren't necessarily belly-achers, but they're relatively amusing. Mostly it's nose exhales, but every now and then you may even let out an under-the-breath chuckle. By episode 2, you're just asking for it all to end.
Here's a little taste of what the jokes may sound like (btw I literally just clicked a random episode and went to a random timestamp because that's how often and pattern-like the jokes are):
*Someone spills tea on other girl's phone
Girl: Oh no... it's okay. This phone is waterproof. That's why it stays fine even if you put it 'inside'.
......
So, like me, you may be wondering: where is the joke? Indeed, 'putting it inside' is certainly a sexual innuendo. Congratulations, the show mentioned something sexual. But... where is the punchline? Where is the clever writing? That's the thing. It doesn't exist. Almost every joke is simply a throwaway line about some sex-related thing.
Art 6/10:
The animators tried their best to build off of what little material they were given. There was nothing particularly outstanding, but the art certainly complimented the jokes as best they could.
Sound 6/10:
Again, nothing particularly good or bad. It felt fitting for the context of the show.
Character 3/10:
The two best characters of the show, Tsuda and Suzu, were the only two not constantly making sex jokes. Who would have guessed. Even then, every character could pretty much be boiled down to one or two personality/physical traits that defined their character throughout the entirety of the run time. Aria, that one girl who constantly talks about masturbation. Suzu, the girl that is very short and very smart. Hata, the girl who is a perv that sells questionable photos of others and inexplicably misrepresents others in the school newspaper. Mitsuba, that judo girl. The predatory female teacher. The list goes on.
Ironically, the best parts of the show came when characters weren't attempting unfunny sex jokes but actually just earnestly and genuinely interacting with each other. Unfortunately, these interactions are far too sparse and infrequent to invoke any emotional impact.
Enjoyment 3/10:
I tallied the number of times I laughed during the show. Four times. That also ended after episode 4.
Overall 4/10:
If you don't understand Japanese, don't even bother. Even if you do, I still wouldn't get my hopes up. This is a show that thinks itself clever but ultimately boils down to the eastern equivalent of 'that's what she said' jokes. Funny. Until it's repeated about 100 times.

Seitokai Yakuindomo (SYD): Student Council mixed with a lot of sex related jokes The series starts with a normal male student Tsuda Takatoshi who is about to start his first year at Ousai Academy but on his first day he pretty much forced into the student council and that's when the fun starts. After that you see what happens in the student council, the adventures they go on and the time they spend together Although this anime has no plot (because of it's genre), it was really enjoyable (if you are into sex related jokes). About 90-95% of the jokes in this anime were sex-related andthey had me laughing a lot even though I find them somewhat repetitive. The concept of this anime seems really simple but it works.
The characters aren't anything too special, we got Shino the student body president, who is perfect (except for that one flaw), Aria the rich girl, Suzu the loli and a whole bunch of minor characters. Sure the characters might not be unique but they all fit into their roles and that's all I ask for. In this kind of anime there really wouldn't be any character development but there are one or two love interests flying around, but the anime isn't really too heavy on it, I guess it's because of the genre. However it would be nice if they did have some romance but I guess that's asking for too much.
The art and animation is clear and they do have some moments where the characters are in chibi version but nothing too special and nothing negative either
As for the sound there is nothing too special here either, the voice actors are alright and I would say fit the role, the OP and ED songs are at par.
Overall I enjoyed this series quite a bit, I got to say this is one of the funniest anime series I've watched this year. If you're not into sex-related jokes then I would bypass this anime but if you just want a laugh like me I recommend SYD. Thanks for reading.

Seitokai Yakuindomo’s humor is definitely an acquired taste. What appears at first as another slice of life high school harem / comedy hybrid quickly and subtly begins delivering sexually charged jokes one after the other. The sex centered humor is either going to make or break your opinion of the show, that or if you thought this type of humor was childish to begin with. If you begin to start picking up on the sexual innuendo setups before the punch line hits then you my dirty-dirty friend will probably like the show. The entire cast is a sexual riot, well except for our male hero leadTsuda who is caught in the middle of it all, forced to join the student council the moment he stepped on school grounds. Suzu also joins Tsuda in the normal group; though she’s used to taking the brunt of all the short jokes. I always did love the random arrows that showed she’s actually in the scene because of her height, just a part of her pigtails barely visible at the corner of the screen. Shino and Aria round out the rest of the student council members and everything from masturbation, sex toys, and all that jazz do not escape these two. I also can’t forget their sex hungry teacher and student council supervisor Yokoshima who at any moment will jump on the opportunity to hit on any of her male students.
By no means is the show explicit in its jokes, as it’s all supposed to be taken light-heartedly at the end of the day. The show does not even have any fanservice scenes to speak of, shocking right? I think it’s the fact girls are doing the jokes that help to lighten the mood, if it were the other way around with three guys, this would be viewed as creepy.
Jokes aside, there’s generally a tangible story to keep the episodes moving and each character is adequately developed to make sure they aren’t just joke dispensing machines. If you’re not even smiling in the first episode, forget it, this is not for you as the general format of the show and topic of the jokes stay consistent all the way to the end.

If something came to me after watching Setokai Yakuindomo (SYD) it was that I never figured out if the male lead is gay or not. That, and the fact society sure is changing fast these days. Maybe GoHands was better off restoring their mistake and making Princess Lover into a H series again. Summarizing this series, let's take B Gata H Kei as example. Remove the shyness about adult subjects and instead make it the most common subject to talk about in the world. Replace the cast, add in a very mediocre soundtrack, reduce the art a bit and you're done. Welcome to SYD. The plot.Pure and innocent guy Tsuda transfers to an all-girl school to find out sex jokes do not get a 'what are you talking about o0..' reaction but rather 'I think it feels better there while doing ***' with serious face-- you get the idea. During the 13 episodes this series spans you will get coverage of all possible adult jokes you're going to hear on the short term. If you hear them that is, between all censoring and *bleep* words. And no, there will be no pantsu on the DVD either according to the anime.
The only thing I remembered about art and soundtrack is that some scenes were straight default H game rips, with the classroom at sunset with dramatic music to the school grounds and everything.
Characters are there, but predictable. After two eps you can already tell in what state of mind corruption everyone is, not a bad thing since that's all what matters here.
In a nutshell, watch SYD for the following reasons:
1.) Test if your mindset is past the point of no return yet.
You pass when you can guess how a joke is going to play out with a small hint.
You fail when..well, you actually can't fail. 13 eps full of dirty jokes boast a pretty high success rate. If you are among the group that still has a pure mind after watching this, drop a line on my profile. I'll be waiting for you, my Savior.
2.) You have spare time and need a good laugh. With BSDM Teddybears, no pantsu and vibrators from Santa pretty much everything passes by.
P.S. I took a long break from writing reviews. Does it show?

This anime reminds me of a very special, perverted little friend of mine. This is easily the funniest anime I've watched in a long time. Plenty of anime do sex jokes, but they usually end up being ecchi with a lot of fan service. This is by no means ecchi anime! This anime is exactly what your typical highschool girl classmates don't want you to hear them talking about. All the perverted sex fantasies and secret desires they have are served to you in this anime on a silver plate, completely without fan service. So guy went to a former girls-only high school. No, you didn'tgo there for the harem. You chose that school because it is the closest one to your house. You'd think this will quickly become a harem story, but the main character himself can't get over how all the girls are just casually tossing tampons to each other in the class, simply because they are so used to it (being on a girls-only school in the past years) and are not shy about it in any way.
Now the characters may be rather stereotypical, but they are very well executed! You have the rich, perverted airhead bimbo, a perverted miss-perfect highschool student, a tsundere, a spoiled drunk teacher. All the signs of a harem right? But it still doesn't become one! These personalities have a nice mix to them, which keeps the characters fresh and different, from what you are used to in your typical shonen anime.

This anime reminds me a lot of middle school, as it had very little drama but a ton of dirty mindedness to it. Heads up, possible spoilers Story: 6 The anime is about our main character, Tsuda, attending a former all girls school, and then being forced upon the student council with three very interes..., actually two very interesting characters and one with a height complex. The story, much like other comedic animes such as Nichijou and Lucky Star, has a bunch of short events in each episode. SYD didn't transition all these events as well as the other two animes I said andthis caused the anime to have weird pacing.
Art: 9
Saved a couple of screen shots of scenery as my wall paper, the art was great! I believe this is one of the best shounens art-wise, as all the chibi parts were done very well. If other shounens were drawn/animated like this anime, I may watch more shounen... or not complain about them as much.
Sound: 7.99
One of my favorite OPs ever, Yamato Nadeshiko Education is extremely catchy. The ED, Aoi Haru, was a bit of a turn off for a few episodes, but, like what most music does to me, became extremely catchy and I just wanted to hear it all the time. So in shorter terms, both OP and ED are on my iTunes with roughly 60 plays each. Yes, I liked them. The background music wasn't anything special, didn't really look into it as much as other animes. The voice acting was on point, with two of my favorite seiyuus, Hikasa Yoko and Satou Satomi.
+1 for those two
-.01 for those two talking dirty like they aren't anything, mostly Satou Satomi, I MEAN SHE PLAYED SUCH INNOCENT CHARACTERS, WHAT HAPPENED. But than again I liked it... I was gonna give it a -1 but then I was like, Seiyuus are not real life version of their anime character and it actually was funny to hear them talk and blah blah blah... -.01
Character: 9
Ok, no one cares about the main character, because he is simple and boring and is only there because he is a male.
The other three... actually, every female in the anime are great characters, as they all are much like middle school boys (Possibly girls? I don't know how middle school girls acted) with a sense of innocence, but a sense of trying to figure out the world, in dirty ways. Little character development, just better relationships between the three girls and Tsuda.
Enjoyment: 8
Dirty slap stick humor? How can I not laugh at that?! I probably would have enjoyed this anime more if I weren't watching it before going to bed and being tired, as I actually didn't laugh as much as I was expecting. It was great though, just not as funny as I thought it would be. A lot more just "what did she say" and "uhm... glad my parents don't speak Japanese".
Overall: 8
Funny anime, with a different type of humor, this anime is a must watch in my opinion, but because of the different style of humor, not because it is the best.
With the next season coming around the corner, I am excited to watch it. I would like to see more romance though! I mean they set it up and it's confirmed and asdfghjkl. More romance please.
