I hate that i don't hate it
But this doesn't feel like a real anime, it feels more like an anime they watch on the background of an anime, or like an anime writed by someone who doesn't know what anime is, but has like a vague knowledge of some tropes and think like all anime are like this, kind like kappa mikey (?) You know what The entirety of this anime feels like a gag they'll make on Gintama, but as i said at the beginning i don't hate it, it made me laugh a couple of times by the absurdity of the jokes, and it's a very short anime the chapters clocking 10/11 minutes so if you watchit and don't like it at least it won't take that much time of your life

I've yet to see any anime like this, with so much yet so little going on at the same time.
This feels like a total waste of what could have potentially been an extremely interesting concept for a story, but I don't really know what Blade Studio was trying to go for here. It quickly became just a ironically funny, mediocre show to watch
Plot: It's basic, in a world where taking tests decides your fate as a member of society, students fall into 1 of 2 categories. Learning Type or "L-Type" and Cheating Type or "C-Type". The L-Types finish the tests and give the answers the C-Types, and the C-Types protect the L-Types from other students who don't want them to pass. Everyone has their own unique way of cheating in order to pass these tests, but often times, the school bests the cheaters and…

for me this anime is a wasted potentiel, i mean the characters were cool i'm not gonna lie but there isn't any real story..... we also have the fact that 2 or 3 episodes are fillers.
when i did read about this anime i really did think that it would just be students cheating but instead it's about super powers fights during exams ???? sure anime are unreal but well it did make me upset. nothing makes sense
please don't loose your time like me watching this one but if you want you can watch the anime on youtube if you're french with subtitles
p.s : sorry for the mistakes i'm not perfect in english

Cheating Craft was the one of the worst anime I've watched to date. The first episode introduced an interesting concept, but they had no clue on how to execute. It was confusing, didn't make sense, and the characters had no depth and the power system was terrible. Starting from episode 2 I got the feeling they had no clue what to do with this series and was just putting episodes out. The biggest problem is that they made the show have no direction. The show never went in a linear path, it just went backwards. The music was alright for a show this bad. The other issue this show has was the power system. The power system literally makes no sense, and since there's literally 5 characters who get screen time, you really don't know what the power system can be based on.

This was a wondrous trainwreck tbh

Overall, this ain't that bad a thing to watch if you're in a mood to criticize something; even for those who are rather lax while watching something. If you want an actual story or series, tho, then just dodge this like the plague.
The saddest thing is that all of this show's problem is spoiler-free... due to there nothing available to spoil that'd stop people from giving this a go. And those that dodge even the barest spoiler (eg if it's worth the watch) wouldn't have bothered reading these things lol
.:STORY:. (2/10)
Okay, so the story is basically a huge mocking of the insane level of criteria to "succeed" in life starting from one's childhood/teen years. First episode uses a mini story to help explain the severity of it plus the system in w…

Geez... and LA thought fighting over bento boxes was a stupid and wacky premise for a shounen.
Cheating Craft is but a simple anime short shounen about essentially cheating your way through superpowered school equipment and the like in order to even stand a chance in the world. But our fledging cheater and genius of Cheating Craft Shokatsu Mumei voiced by Tomohiro Yamaguchi and Qiao Yi Huang voiced by Rie Kugimiya will beat the national test in order for Mumei's father to be freed from prison for a crime he did not commit..........so basic shounen plot right there.
We also get the typical rivals and allies such as Lun Yu Zhou voiced by Daisuke Namikawa the red string pen wielder and is a rival to Mumei though he doesn't show it at first, Jun voiced by Junya Ikeda the bug type user and ma…

First things first. This anime is bad. Period.
The story is as bad as it can be, you get a protagonist with cheating powers based on a secret technic wich is depicted seriously bad. This guy has a sister that is smart, don't care about her, she doesn't matter. Smart people don't get anything at this, the main focus is about cheating on exams and it continues the same until the end.
Art, nothing to talk about
Overall music might be decent but your not likely to watch this for the music.
Characters plain and bad. Easily forgettable for every character. You could remember about them for the series being so bad.
If you have the ability to switch off your brain or looking for something to waste your life on, this is it.
Overall score: 0/10 can't have a 0 on the ratings tough

Are you bored with no ideas? Do you want to see a low-rated anime? Do you like to waste time? You no longer feel that feeling: "How Dragon Ball fillers are good."?
If your answers were "Yeah" so far, then watch "Cheating Craft". I would not recommend this anime even for my enemies.
Let's talk about topics:
1. History. Totally rushed, with more holes than cheese and totally and definitely able to give you Bugs and Tilts in the brain. It turns well until the 2nd episode. Where to start from there begins the "shooting" to leave holes. Missing explanations of why such thing was done, how things happened and even, I do not know if it was a spoiler or a sheer sneer of the anime developers, but in the middle of the anime ... the story of a meaningless jump! We look like "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED…

I'm honestly not sure how this show received a go for production but I'm guessing some cheating was involved. Apparently, there's a country in which success in life is solely based on an exam. Students attempt to pass this exam using various techniques, including cheating. The show follows cheating expert and inheritor of the paper/wind/fire-controlling Shokatsu technique, Mumei Shokatsu and his actually test-literate partner in crime, Koui Ou. This is one of the worst mockeries/parodies that I've seen in ages and it really was neither funny nor cohesive. Do yourself a favor and save yourself a few brain cells by watching something else.

The show has a fairly good animation package overall. Expect a bright, colorful landscape with decent CGI backgrounds and a rather wild…

WOOOOOW. I finished watching the final episode and was blown away by the ineptitude of it all.
This WILL come as a shock but this is an action parody anime will "humor" somewhere i guess.
There's tons of great ideas, as shown in the first episode. But as you watch you realize that the show has no purpose.
We never hear character goals for when they graduate. The written test doesn't matter because the goal of the test is to kill/knockout the teacher and do whatever you want. Also the only rivalry in the show is DESTROYED by having an entire episode be nothing but a montage of a loosely coherent storyboard.
The OP and ED are amazing in my opinion because they bring back a mid 2000s feel that makes the show seem like it will be corny and I like it that way. Too bad the show lets down in eve…

Ok, if I would describe this anime amongst the character's technique, I describe it as "Suck-katsu Technique" as it in this anime for all of what is expected "TOTALLY SUCKS!!!!!" as one reviewer's comment states, "It becomes a chore than an amusement." Man, just what the fuck was Haoliner Animation League', studio Blade thinking for making an anime out of a Chinese light novel titled Zuobi Yishu by Gemini Xin Luo? Tbh, I have nothing but regrets about allowing myself to subject to such chore of watching this.....thing, where it would have been much exciting to watch 'Prison School" than this, sooooooo:
Storywise, It was good at first (ep 1) , but it's plot which was themed after the art of cheating was anything but just too overly exaggerated, that the entertainment side of it starts to w…

Cheating Craft is the definition of an absolutely brilliant mediocre anime!
You might be thinking, "How could you give this mediocre series a ten, especially when you only give tens to three percent of anime?!" Well, it's actually a six, but hear me out for a second...
(TL;DR at end)
If you've already watched this show, you probably already know that it's really not THAT great. However, have you ever seen another series like this...? The answer is probably no, and that's where I feel this anime shines the most.
Anime is supposed to be the genre of artistic imagination, yet we're constantly bombarded with the same concepts repeatedly. However, Cheating Craft goes against the norm by being a short, 12-minute parody series that makes fun of some popular anime concepts with a fun twist. E…

Even with a short runtime (12 mins per ep) and a lack of promotion, for lovers of stupid senseless "switch off your brain" comedies, Cheating Craft is easily a barrel of laughs and jaw dropping goodness.
Story: 10
China brings you a new generic shonen battle / gag series to add to the pile of generic shonen battle series we already have in Japan. WITH EXAMS!!!
Cheating Craft takes place in a world where CHEATING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!!! There are those who can learn and there are those who can cheat. Everything's fair in love, war and exams. From pen tranquiliser guns to X-ray glasses; from making origami weapons to training an insect army, the otherworldly cheating kung fu skills elevate the premise to higher realms of fun campy silliness. JUST STUDY DAMMIT!!!
There's no real storyline…
