86. Prison School
https://myanimelist.net/anime/30240/Prison_School

Prison School is an ecchi comedy anime. It's about five guys who are the first of their gender to be accepted into a previously all girls school. However, due to varying circumstances conspiring against them they are outed as perverts, problem students, menaces to society, and so on. So they are sent to the schools prison to learn... and learn the error of their ways.

The art style in Prison School is probably one of its standout features. It looks much more like something I'd expect to see in a hentai. I lot of the character designs too for the females seem to have been purposely made with that in mind. Granted, I don't actually think any of the girls are actually that attractive by like anime standards. It reminds me mildly of stuff like G-Taste. In any case the art work is very well done. The character expressions are mostly priceless and really add to a lot of the comedy the show has going for it.

The actual characters are mostly good. I think the cast is well balanced without anyone I hated but the only character I really liked was Hana. All of them have some dumb quirk which ranges from typical anime stuff to that is the dumbest thing ever, but it works because it's in this show. Like one of the simplest ones is Chiyo who really likes wrestling and thinks that Kiyoshi is a good guy because he likes it too.

There is very little actual story beyond like finding out if the guys are going to be expelled and some other stuff. There is also a lot of "Tarantinoing." The actual story lines though can be pretty funny. Like especially the ones involving Hanna and anything to do with like those figurines. But you're not getting anything extraordinary.

I said it looks like a hentai almost, and sometimes I almost forget it's not one (well except there's like no sex). Like in a lot of other scenarios this would be a gross show. A show that was pretty gross was like Hen Zemi. I say that, but I'm not sure because I dropped that. It just lacks the stuff that made that gross stuff entertaining. Like some of the fan service for one. But at the same time the show is so bizarre in the way the fan service is presented you wonder if you're even supposed to be aroused by it.

Prison School is a fun show, but one that's really not for everyone. If you're a prude who hates to laugh, don't watch it.

85. Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

DanMachi is kind of a misleading title. Bell, the main male, actually doesn't actively try to pick any girls up. It's about how he is trying to go from lowly level 1 adventurer weakling, to a high level (well in this case a high level is like 6) power house. Along the way he'll get help from other adventures and a goddess.

To put it bluntly. I'm not even sure DanMachi is that good of a show. Like the biggest standout in the show is the biggest chest (more on that later). But the show seems to be incredibly polarizing. The growth of Bell is pretty compelling. He does so much to get stronger and the show shows clear progress. Along with it are a lot of other RPG type tropes like farming gear, crafting, different job roles, etc.

The characters are pretty bland minus for Bell and Hestia really. Hestia (is bestia) is the Goddess who watches over Bell. She's a cute character with a likeable personality. Another worth noting is Ais, a girl who doesn't really talk much, but is also cute. She has her own spin off show, but that's not really good because she's not suited to be a main character. She works well in her supporting role.

This is a show that if you like it, you'll like it for no other reason but it manages to play to its strenghts and be more entertaining than it should be.
