Introduction
Katsu Kaizou is a very gullible, 17-year-old high school student and a believer in science fiction, aliens, ghosts, UFOs, conspiracies, etc. He thinks that everything going on around him is the result of some sort of alien plot to take over the world. Each story is pretty much self-contained and is completely bizarre. Kaizou joins the school's science club, makes new friends, and ends up coming in contact with all sorts of strange things like log people, deadly sushi, pee-blades, scary infections, robot invasions, ghosts, living dolls, and more!

Archean-Return
Like many of the more enjoyable comedy anime out there, Katte ni Kaizou is highly scenario-based. Ribaldry, bizarre and exaggerated expressions, and off-colour humour is still present throughout the watch; but distributed in such a way that it never becomes overly repetitive. These scenarios are often wacky and superstitious, but they avoid being too convoluted, and the viewer can easily keep up with how coherently they flow and segue into cutaway gags and/or flashbacks. With how many incomprehensible fever dream comedies there are out there, I can appreciate one with a grounded storyboard, even if the scenarios themselves are outlandish.
Most of the OVA's narrative commentary largely pertains to historical and cultural subjects instead. The references to Japanese regional stereotypes, su…

Before Kumeta hit it big with Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, there was Katte ni Kaizou, which started out as a series with some random off the wall humor and dick jokes to becoming what is essentially SZS-lite complete with social commentary and pseudo-philosophical musings. Shaft's 6 episode OVA captures this evolution so succinctly to the point of brilliance.
If you're reading this, there is absolutely no way that in 2020 you would stumble upon this OVA series by accident without knowing or watching SZS. It was how I came across it and while it did color my expectations to a fair degree, the show is still enjoyable and immensely familiar as it morphs into proto-SZS. Shaft's attention to detail is to be commended. Everything from the character designs, to the backgrounds, animations, even Ku…

I found his anime pathetic and even though it is a comedy not very funny. It included a lot of sexual jokes which I thought were discriminating and disgusting instead of funny.
The characters were kind of pathetic and cringy. With no real storyline or plot, these characters don't develop or grow on you. The artist also used a lot of the same facial expressions on different characters.
The artstyle is definitly not to my taste and didn't make the anime any better. Only the music from the intro was enjoyable. But the sound effects were really dramatic and over the top.
Overall I really disliked this over the top supposedly comedic anime

art-original and stands out
sound- crisp and clear. Characters personality was matched by the voices.
Dislikes
art-very white. I am guessing they were going for either a highlight for the characters or wanted each character to have highlights in their hair. Yet, there was real benefit in doing that. There was nothing gained nor lost. I suppose it makes for an easier identification in random anime shows casts. For me, it would have been more pleasant on the eyes if they ditched it. Lastly, the haircut art designs were somewhat copied and pasted in. Do you recall bowl haircuts? if not, they are circular cuts that are the borderline of a male needing a trim or a girl with short hair. That is fine for a character or two but that was not the c…

Hey folks, this will be a review for Katte ni Kaizou. Ah another splendid shaft anime. Honestly this one is pretty wacky and I missed out on a lot of the jokes. This ones might be a bit challenging for people who are not aware of Japanese culture.
There really isn't a story. Our story revolves around club full of weirdos who spend most of the anime being weird in some way. That' the best I can do to summarize it. The anime is skit based, which means it runs through a small joke or idea then moves onto the next idea. Each episode generally contains two or more skits. At the start of the anime I couldn't stop laughing, the pool episode had me in stitches for awhile. However about episode 4 out of 6 I had a hard time following the action and ultimately enjoyed the anime a little less.
The a…

Looking for an anime with the wackiest, silliest, dirtiest humor out there? Want an anime that's so ridiculous and over the top that it would put other comedy anime to shame? Look no further than Katte Ni Kaizou, translated as, "Kaizou Who Does As He Pleases!"
Story: 5
To tell you the truth, the story description on the site is only true for the first two episodes. The whole idea about being a gullible boy with delusions isn't really carried out throughout the rest of the series. Still, it doesn't detract from how ridiculous this anime is.
Art: 10
The art is pretty memorable. Shaft made the characters' movements very fluid and there aren't too many still frames throughout this anime. Both animation and art were very well done.
Sound: 8
Weirdass opening and weirdass ending (very catchy end…

This by far is one of the most unique anime out there. I mean everything is unique, the storyline, the characters, even the animation! This anime can be greatly appreciated by comedy lovers and users who have a passion for let's say 'crazed' storylines. But be warned, most of the comedy in this one are 'dirty', in other words related to sex, and are just weird. Compared to other comedy/gag anime out there this has to be the best.
Now let's take a deeper look at the sound and animation since we identified most of the other areas. I would give the sound a 9/10, since the OSTs, particularly the opening and ending themes were very funny to listen to and they suited this type of gag anime. The art on the other hand was OUTSTANDING, (yes I have to say it caps) since it is so well done and it st…

This series is well written, has good artwork, good animation, good characters, and a decent soundtrack. So why only a 7? The reason it's so good, and the reason it's not a 10 is the same: it's a prototype for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
It's pretty simple really. The characters look, sound, and act like the characters in SZS. The animation, soundtrack, sound effects are all similar for obvious reasons. The quirky randomness is the same. The way the story seems to take place at school, but the characters meet around town and engage in silliness is the same.
But as stated earlier, it's a prototype. As you watch, you can tell Kette ni Kaizou is less mature and sophisticated than SZS. The former has less social commentary(though it does happen occasionally) and replaces it with ridiculousnes…
