Student Council's Discretion

Student Council's Discretion

Introduction

Imagine living life as the vice president of the student council, passing the days eating snacks, playing games, and bonding with a harem of beautiful girls. This is exactly the kind of life that high school student Ken Sugisaki leads, or so he thinks! Usually, the officers of Hekiyou Academy's student council are elected by popular vote, but an additional position is granted to the student who scores the highest on the exams. Ken, who historically has had below average grades, worked hard to improve them to be accepted into the student council, with the ultimate goal of surrounding himself with girls who fawn over him. Unfortunately for the vice president, things do not go quite as planned. Not only do the ladies of the council continually rebuff his advances, they also prefer to focus on more important and "boring" activities, such as organizing school events and managing the other clubs. But a few minor hurdles like these won't stop Ken from chasing after his dreams, even if they seem a bit ridiculous. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

5 sentence review: A fun (but morally incorrect) protagonist, my favourite. Funny, even though it's technically a harem of sorts. I enjoyed alot of the characters despite them one nate. Has loads of references and 4th wall breaks, I can imagine rewashing this later and enjoying it when I can understand more of em. Based VN lover as the protagonist. Favourite character was Mafuyu. Random thoughts: Season 1 was a masterpiece imo. Funny and had a protagonist that I liked. Can't think of a weak link in the cast tbh, you don't need compelling characters to have fun ones. Hopefully season 2 keeps up the momentum (I haven't watched it at the time of writing this). I also liked the artstyle alot.

Despite all the shit the girls give Sugisaki through the series, he's the only one in the Student Council who actually does the work THEY were supposed to be doing in the first place. And stays late until the evening most days doing so without even a tought of complaining about the situation he finds himself in by the irresponsability of the rest of the Student Council's member. And obviously, bar one or two occasions, he doesn't see even a glimpse of what could be even considered gratitude for his hard afforts by not even one of the girls he calls his fellow SC members. I find it funny how Sakurano Kurimu, the titular president of the Student Council (altough it's never explained if she got that title legitimaly through school meritocracy or simply she self-apointed as such and everyone…

Ugh, where do I even start with Seitokai no Ichizon? I'm still trying to figure out why I wasted 12 episodes of my life on this snooze fest. I mean, I thought the premise was cute - four adorable girls and a guy running a student council? Sounds like a fun, lighthearted watch, right? Wrong. I remember seeing a Facebook post with a screenshot of the girls and thinking, "Aww, this looks like a sweet anime!" But oh man, was I misled. The entire series is just... nothing. No development, no plot twists, no character growth. Just a bunch of boring conversations in a student council room. I swear, I've seen paint dry faster than this anime's pace. And don't even get me started on the "plot". It's literally just the five main characters sitting around talking nonsense for 24 minutes straight, e…

Anime is full of grand adventures, epic tales and profound stories. It has the ability to take you to a completely different world. Yet, sometimes I just can’t be bothered with that. Sometimes all I want is to turn my brain off and laugh at some goofy people goofing off and being stupid. Seitokai no Ichizon is the perfect anime to lay back, relax and chill out to—it’s cosy, silly and light-hearted, and, honestly, I just can’t get enough of it. In the very first scene of the first episode, “Understanding the differences in media” is written on the whiteboard. The characters joke about how they can make the anime more appealing than the light novel, with some self-deprecating jokes along with it. Out of curiosity, I decided to actually investigate the differences in media by reading the fir…

A simple anime that offers nothing more than student council members having fun with each other. Despite its plain and uncomplicated story, the comedy inside this show was so top-notch it'll probably cleanse the every last of depression you have left inside of you. In fact, it might cleanse you so hard you might have a higher possibility of dying from this rather than from that one disease we're all aware of. Seitokai no Ichizon has a slow-paced harem which depressingly blossoms 14 episodes into the series ( Season 2 Episode 2 ). Those who’ve come to this series expecting to increase their stimulation scale because they’re a degenerate might find Seitokai no Ichizon an utter disappointment. However, just because of the fact that the harem is a lackluster compared to many other shows categ…

Most animes leave the fourth wall intact, presumably because 9 of 10 times it's broken the show quality plummets and the 10th time it neither adds or detracts. The only exception in the history of everything forever that has managed to make breaking it a fun thing that adds to the enjoyment is... NOT Seitokai no Ichizon, it's Deadpool. When a plot can be summed up with 4 girls and one guy in the same room 95% of each episode, a big temptation for the writer is to throw in references to other things and start breaking the wall that shall not be defiled with breaking, except by Deadpool since he defiles everything anyway. In this anime there are loads of very forced pokes at numerous other animes, maybe a slight bit fun for those who've watched those animes but for everyone else it's mostly…

My second review that will never get to the top four reviews. Read until the end... I logged in my dormant account since ages, just for this... Okay fck it! Personally, I loved and enjoyed watching this anime since I like an Anime with at least a good humor, has a messy, crazy, fun lifestyle and not boring! After almost having no good anime to watch as of late, I finally found this! Never heard of it before and if I did, I had probably forgotten since it has almost the same name as that ecchi anime that I find boring aka Seitokai Yakuindomo. But yeah, this is really good and too bad it doesn't have much recognition. If you have a popular YouTube Channel, Facebook Page, Blog or any sh!t that would share this anime's greatness and give it more recognition than it deserves, please do so..…

Seitokai no ichizon is probably the anime equivalent of Seinfeld. This is mainly due in part to the fact that it holds the same main idea. It is mainly a show about... nothing. Basically, the story follows 5 high school teenagers through their "Student Council Meetings". However, the "meetings", if that, are just the characters' rambles ranging from BL, harems, sports, action, masochism, and loli. To top it all off, most of the anime is contained to one room, the Student Council Room. While this idea may seem like a horrible setting and a recipe for disaster, the setting is the perfect fit for their meetings. The anime's comedy is essentially what holds the entire series together, and it would certainly hold anyone's attention for the duration of each and every episode. Personally, I love…

Seto_Masamune

Allow me to share my opinion on Seitokai no Ichizon. Student Council's Discretion (Seitokai no Ichizon) is a parody, comedy, harem anime based on the light novel by Aoi Sekina and Kira Inugami. The show was produced by Studio Deen and aired between October 2, 2009 and December 18, 2009. The anime has 12 episodes in total. Story-line (8/10) Seitokai no Ichizon doesn’t have a plot, as its episodes are standalone and the events of all episodes don’t add much to the next episodes. Every episode shows the council members chatting, instead of doing things a normal student council should do. Each episode is packed with plenty of jokes and parodies from other anime. The show doesn’t have enough characters’ development; yet, it does describe characters, which helps the viewer to form a better o…

Bringing the otaku culture on it's back, Seitokai no Ichizon is one of those series that simply made to entertain us. The story tells us about the student council of the Hekiyou Gakuen, they are led by a Moe-type girl that often create a strange policy and do their strange job. Actually, there is no real plot in this anime, Seitokai no Ichizon is an episodic series that stands alone between episodes. The anime filled with parody spit out all over the place. Now, a parody series can extremely fail if the audience didn't know what is being parodied. If you watched some of the popular anime that exist in this anime, then you can feel the hilarious moments that created by this anime. BUT, If you don't have any idea about those anime that has been parodied, then you might feel the flat moment…

Seitokai no Ichizon and the follow up series Seitokai no Ichizon lvl 2 is a little different from the usual harem series where the innocent protagonist accidentally attracts a lot of attention. This series is almost a parody of this generic plot and instead, on day 1 of joining the council ken sugisak the protagonisti openly admits he will make the council made up of 4 women fall in love with him. This series is a light hearted, good feeling anime with little drama but many jokes and lots of references to other anime series. This anime is similar to seitokai yakuindomo but not as funny or as lewd. This anime has no real plot or drama, most of the series takes part in the council room itself and nothing really every happens, its mainly just talking which can bore some viewers but I thoroug…

Before writing a review, most people write some sort of catchy thing that gets a person's interest, but I can not think of anything other than to say that I can not think of anything. Now then, lets get started with the review. Story: Seitokai no Ichizon is about a male student, Sugisaki Ken, who is the only male student on the Student Council which consists of four girls and a female teacher who is their advisor. The rest of the plot revolves around the days of student council members and on how Ken wants to make all the girls on the council, his harem. That is all there is to say about the main story. At first it sounds really lame and boring but it slowly grows and at the end, explains the rather honest and sincere reason for why he wants to have all the girls be in his harem (yes, t…

This is the most authentical "high school" genre anime I've watched so far and fact is it was really good! Seitokai no Ichizon focuses completely on Hekyiou's Student Council and then... BOOM! It finishes unpredictably well! Nice choice! It also parodies many famous works, including even TTGL! {STORY - 7/10} As its name says, it's about Hekyiou's Student Council reunions. No darker plots, no twists, no enemies, just the story of Ken Sugisaki, a guy who struggled a lot to enter the council, with the sole dream of having his own harem. Like any other pervert, he's a total douche, but with a kind, sweet side, that the other four girls take some time to see and understand. His efforts on getting closer to all this girls have a deep meaning, later revealled. His intentions are above having a…

Seitokai no Ichizon is a parody anime, so, therefore, it would make a lot of sense for me to try to fit in as many references as I can because, why not? Story: The story of Seitokai no Ichizon revolves around 5 people who exist in a school that determine their student council via a popularity contest. Because of that, they are usually good-looking girls. The fifth member is always the person who scores highest on a midterm. And so, with 4 girls and a guy, what's going to ensue? HAREM! or not. With this in mind, the plot of this anime doesn't really go anywhere. In fact, it goes nowhere. But, for an anime that purely focuses on its characters and comedy, plot really has no need to exist, so yeah. Think about it like "Lucky Star" or "Love Hina" if you will. Characters: For the main charac…

I'll just cover the main points that I enjoyed/disliked about this anime. 1. The characters are all unique and awesome. 2. For ME personally, I got bored watching the anime around episode 5. I realized that I cannot stand animes that doesn't have continuous stories between episodes. 3. The anime got interesting again around episode 7-8 where they start to show the male leads past and his connection to each members of the club. It was touching and overall a nice story. I recommend this to anyone who are okay with watching anime without a big "story line". Also do not watch this if you are expecting traditional "harem" since throughout the anime, the male lead doesn't get any!

Seitokai no Ichizon: the title is enough to summarise the series in three words as the story of each epsiode unfolds. I am really fond of the intelligent jokes I encountered up the point where I rolled on the floor laughing about a hopeless protagonist that acts like an animal in heat going on about his harem and the beautiful girls that complete his entourage each with totally different personalities that only make his task harder. The series itself is a story that holds a smaller story in every episode with little connection between them,The animation is very good especially on the student council president, the OSTs are very soothing making you think you have a somewhat duty to watch over them, but maybe that's just me. Finally I want to talk about the main theme of the series,friendshi…

Story (10): Seitokai no Ichizon is one of the best anime ever done. Unlike classic Harems which focuses on single route ending, Seitokai no Ichizon makes everybody smiling, I mean viewers in first place. So, Seitokai no Ichizon is more moral and feeling, comedy-oriented series. If you want to see the real feeling, you have to deduce them because they're not told clearly Seitokai no Ichizon also features one of the best parodies that circle around 2000~2008 animes. If you want parodying this is your best chance to get understandable parody without having to watching 50 episodes or 200 ones. Although, only the first episodes are parodying. Art (9): Good animation and suitable for 2009/2010 anime-era. GC are good, not great but it does what it has to be done: getting idea Sound (8): The s…

There are times where I come across an anime and I really don't know what to think of it...Seitokai no Ichizon is certainly one of those animes. For the most part, it is an anime that parodies many other popular animes, such as Haruhi, Death Note, Bleach, Majutsu no Index, and many, MANY more, so it's natural to assume not to take this anime very seriously. It is, after all, a lighthearted comedy series revolving around a student council. The biggest strength of this anime was it's characters and comedy writing. There's no doubt this is one of the funniest animes I've ever seen. I found myself rolling in laughter at all the characters' fantasies and obscure anime references (the Death Note reference always got some good chuckles out of me). I also loved the characters in this anime very m…

Never judge a book by its cover. Sounds cliche and overused, but this doesn't ring truer to this particular anime. At first I was confused: was this a comedy, a slice-of-life, or somewhere in between? Why wasn't this straightforward? It didn't matter; I fell in love with each and every character. This wasn't the typical slice of life, because something bigger was working behind the scenes, something larger than each character's problem, one that would eventually tie everything together. Story: 8/10 A little background: Sugisaki is one lucky man. The student council at Hekiyou Gakuen are chosen by popularity vote, and it so happens that all 4 of the members are girls. There's a fifth slot, however, for one student with the best grades in the school: and that happens to be Sugisaki. It's h…

Harem! Taken a little further in Seitokai no Ichizon, as our hero aims to have the entire student council (all composed of cute girls) his own personal harem! ..... That made it sound soooooo weird. But in many ways, this anime is also weird. In the outer part, Seitokai may look like it's just a conventional harem. But once one looks deeper, one may find that the fun part about Seitokai, is not in its "Harem" part, but it's story. Now, usually a story in a Harem is pretty much shallow. The girls fight over one guy that is usually hated, something happens, and poof! they're all in-love with him. But in Seitokai's place, almost none of that happens. I have seen a lot of Harem anime before, but Seitokai has my vote when it comes to originality of story. Now as for the art, it's a little…
