I really wonder how the Japanese regulatory departments allowed such an anti-masculine anime to be made.
Throughout the anime, we see boys being humiliated and girls who seeking power and sadism.
Boys are defined as sensual animals who only care about physical and sexual desires, and girls are creatures to be protected.
The foundation of a normal school and education has been questioned and we are witnessing the promotion of a wrong kind of feminism and anti-men.
And worse than that, we see boys who accept and adapt to the unreasonable tyranny of girls instead of dealing with it rationally.
In no country and no school does the student council have the right to beat and physically deal with students, even if the student is a murderer.
I really feel sorry for the creators of such animes that…

Watched this first alone thinking it was hentai...
Really was just lying down with my tentacle in my hand thinking to myself
"man, why tf is this hentai so interesting"
Only to get to the rooftop scene, pull up my Grinch black and green pj's, and begun hysterically holding my laughter hoping that my parents wouldn't be able to hear me at 3 am.
Later, showed the anime to a friend and turned it into a staple reference point within our conversations Literally re-enacted the shower scene with da bois which later cut to us chasing after our other friend like AOT titans.
good times
well anyways, GO WATCH THIS ANIME

No, this show isn't funny and I'm sick of hearing that it is. The comedy was written by toddlers for toddlers. I mean, come on, one of the funny jokes is that a guy shits himself and that's it. That's the joke. The show is basically just "We said it was supposed to be funny so you have to laugh". The characters are all unlikeable, the setting is interesting but executed poorly and all in all, the end feels completely unsatisfying. I seriously doubt that you will laugh if you watch this show, except for maybe out of pity. The only reason I bumped the score is because the voice acting is solid and the art style is also quite decent. Aside from that, I cannot recommend this to anyone that has even a shred of humour, because you will be just as bored as I was. If you want a show like this that…

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!!! Disgusting show (coming from an ecchi fan). This show is the only show I have ever seen that I literally cringe whenever someone brings it up. The story was pathetic. It is literally about boy slaves who have Stockholm syndrome. The art was okay. The sound sucked. The characters were the worst I have ever seen. I wanted to whoop every character in that show. I had zero percent enjoyment in this disgraceful show. There was way too many pissing scenes. Worst show I have ever scene in my life. Anybody that likes this needs to take a breath and go outside please.

Ecchi has garnered somewhat of a bad reputation over the years. For those unaware, the term ‘ecchi’ is used among anime fans as a way to describe shows with sexual overtones. Unlike hentai, which is explicit pornographic material, ecchi is meant to be simply erotic and is part of why the anime community views such in a negative light. Because of the nature of the anime industry, erotic content and sexual themes are more likely to be prioritized in production over the possible literary merits of a show. This line of thinking permeates across other genres, leading to an abundance of fanservice – usually unnecessary sexual content with the purpose of pleasing the audience – being inserted and used for enticing viewers to watch further. This has led many to criticize the concepts of ecchi and…

This series is utterly appalling. The mediocre art, accompanied by tasteless, immature humor and the tendency to over-appeal to every fetish out there, make Prison School one of the worst anime I have ever seen. The characters are not even remotely likable. The sound design is decent, but the archetypes of plot progression failed to inspire me or any of my friends in any meaningful manner.
Beside the poor design and application, Prison school attempts to approach a classic anime trope and blows it way out of proportion. The hyperbolic setup for this series destroyed any semblance of hope I had in this anime.

Prison school is a weird one for me. That's mostly due to because I absolutely despise ecchi / harem / blah, blah generic titillating content that's incredibly common in anime. And that might be why I enjoyed the show to a certain extent. It takes the idea of fanservice and stretches to a very specific and fetishized realm that it can end up being hilarious to some people or, at least, intriguing because the absurdity of it.
That said, besides a couple of moments spread out far and between I wasn't laughing or let alone chuckling as much as I heard I was going to be. Some jokes are repeated or just go for a bit too long which ends up at times being slightly annoying. The story isn't much either; Do me a small favor and read the synopsis of this show. Did it? That's the entire show but str…

Prison school is in fact a great example of bad show with great elements. Prison School successfully takes suspense, drama, action, and ecchi, turns them into one perfect mess. Prison School is also a great example of a "Hit or Miss" anime show. Meaning you either like it or don't like it depending or your personal tastes in anime and experience. The story is sort of plain however the elements they add like violence, sexy scenes, drama, suspense etc literally makes the a bit non existent. There are many things I like about story though, but for now the thing that stood out the most was the fact that (and stated before) the show overall was so bad it's good. The soundtrack is awesome lots of rock and metal added to make action scenes and "Uh oh i'm in trouble" scenes more suspense. The char…

Prison School took me by surprise. I have never laughed so hard at something so degenerate, stupid, yet undeniably hilarious since GTO. The humor is so amazingly well executed that the stupidest things will drive the plot, which is surprisingly well done. One of the greatest strengths of Prison School is the voice acting, as all the proper screeches and fluctuations come in fitting times to make the experience worthwhile. There isn't much significant character development, a deep plot, or any of that, but rather this anime utilizes all the ideas we find ridiculous and mashes it together, backing the viewers out into a corner where they have no choice but to laugh. The directing is great, as the animation is by the same studio that responsible for "Shokugeki no Souma". The camera angles are…

I came across Prison School after checking the top seasonal anime. At first glance I believed it to be nothing of interest, as I am not a fan of ecchi anime. However, after watching the first few episodes I came to understand why it was among the higher ranks of its season.
Story: 7
If I had one word to describe the story of Prison School, I would call it absurd. The simple story that boys can get locked into a school prison is completely nonsensical. However, upon closer evaluation, where does something like this even show up? It is so ridiculous that it can be described as uncommon. Therefore, it avoids the the usual tag that people like to throw onto shows. Generic. If the story is not good, it will at least be interesting.

What a goddamn stupid-ass, asinine show.
It almost feels like one of those series that I'd be ashamed to have admitted enjoying, but there's something that turns it into an ecchi comedy romp of a very impressive caliber.
What elevates it above the others in its class (and the term "class" here is used very, very loosely) is its utter sincerity in its absurdity. It takes itself as seriously as possible with its pace and its *god-tier* sound and art direction which brings about an incredible sense of urgency for what is an incredibly dumb story premise. By taking itself seriously and going so far in it comes out the other side, it invites us to laugh at it and telegraphs to us that it knows how stupid it is. Bold, striking art and a hilariously complex orchestral score underline some of th…

Prison School is just one of those anime that you will get hooked at the first episode. The manga is excellent, but it seemed fast-paced in the anime. Honestly this anime is like the South Park characters all grown up and horny, and what makes it even more funnier is how these guys are such relentless virgins, its hilarious. Even if the show was vile and disturbing, it was entertaining to watch during my free time.
I thought of the vice president as an overly sexualized character, but thats what makes it even funnier. The sexual scenes make the anime look like a hentai anime honestly. Overall, I have nothing to say about this anime other than it was one of the most hilarious anime I've ever seen.

AS AN ANIME
Prison School was without a doubt a surprise for a lot of viewers, even if I'm sure some of you fans of the manga were waiting for it (that was not my case).
Produced by J.C. Staff, a studio well-known for adapting mediocre light novels and for their bad deeds against reputed visual novels, their relatively poor artistic sense in comparison with competiting studios, and their more or less tight budget (generally more than less), Prison School's adaptation was kind of disappointing even before we could watch it. I myself didn't plan to see more than the first episode, and talking with some blinded fans of the manga beforehand didn't encourage me to review my position (don't ask me why, it's not even anticonformism but more something like disgust regarding their circlejerk for…

First, I’m going to have to say what Prison School is about. Because I’m honestly still trying to wrap my head around the concept and the hundreds of planning paper I bought at Office Depot isn’t helping. In some weird universe where parental absence is even more out-of-place than normal by anime standards, there is a private girls’ academy called Hachimitsu (not gonna dignify that name with a response) that has recently started to admit boys for no particular reason like some gender-reversed version of Zoey 101. However, Hachimitsu is an academy that’s far from being suitable for the Nick-audience viewing.
It’s a harsh place where the most minor of infractions will cause you to get treated like a literal prisoner complete with wearing the stereotypical white and black outfits or face exp…

Prison School is a good anime, although it sometimes fails to play to its strengths and descends into pointlessness.
I don't look to anime for sexual gratification; so when I criticize the censorship, I'm not doing it out of blue-balled resentment. (Well, not just that anyway.) It detracts from the quality of the animation, and it's often just unnaturally forced into the scene, to cover things that don't really need to be covered. They can indirectly depict urolagnian debauchery but they draw the line at panty-shots? Prison School has nice animation, but it's difficult to appreciate this when so much of it is censored.
Honestly, I kind of wish there wasn't quite so much sex-appeal. I want to be able to just watch and laugh without having to make the sign of the cross every three second…

Yours truly is here to write a review about one of your truly's favorite anime this season.
When I first looked at the tags for this anime, I though it looked fairly promising, "Comedy, Ecchi, Romance, School, Seinen." Definitely a stereotypical romantic comedy, right?
Oh boy was I wrong. This was nothing like the stereotypical anime that I was expecting, but I guess I'll just get into the parts of the anime right away.
Story: 8
The story was good in comparison to any average anime, and very good in comparison to other romantic comedies, that are almost 100% slice of life and gag comedy. The premise is interesting in that instead of one main guy and his one dimensional buddy, we have 5 pretty unique guys. First episode features these 5 socially awkward guys in a formerly all-girls' school…

This is the first anime review I've ever written, so hopefully everything will turn out ok. Any feed back would be appreciated as long as its constructive :D
Story: 8/10
Prison School is all about 5 guys in a school for girls that are caught peeping in the girl's bathroom, and are sent to a prison in the middle of the school. Pretty normal, huh? You've seen nothing yet lmao. I gave the story "just" an 8 because the storyline had some ups and downs, as after episode 7, the whole plot is left a bit unconsistent, but recovering later on.
Art: 10/10
What makes Prison School such a good show is the animation. I was extraordinary suprised by how each character's face is done to emphasize how they are feeling in each moment, not to mention the smoothness throughout the whole show.
Sound: 8/10…

Prison School is by far my favorite anime this season! I'm a big fan of Great Teacher Onizuka and it's the first time in years I've had the same kind of enjoyment watching a comedy. I'm usually not a big fan of over-sexualized female characters or harem animes but prison school is an exception.
Story 9/10
5 perverted teenagers end up in a school full of girls. They peak into the girls bath and get grounded into a prison set in the middle of the campus. These 5 guys are hilarious, one is fat as fuck, one is creepy as fuck, one is geeky as fuck... The girls in charge of them AKA the Underground School Council, bully them, torture them, insult them. This kind of treatment gives them boners lol
All the comical elements that build up in the series are pretty similar to what would happen in GTO…

You’re probably thinking what does “prison”and “school” have to do with each other? Isn’t prison where criminals go to and school is where people get an education? Prison School sort of works differently. When the ratio of girls to guys is around 20:1, then you know your school has something that’s worth more than just education. Of course, I’m referring to the elite boarding school known as Hachimitsu Academy.
Based on the manga of the same name, the series was long sought to get an anime adaptation at some point. And when it did, there were concerns about how it should be adapted. The concerns includes the amount of censorship or material omitted as a show like this may not be suitable to air on TV. And that’s pretty obvious to tell as well. Prison School is literally like a fan service…

The original Prison School is probably the most impressive ecchi manga I have ever read. By impressive I don't just mean that it's enjoyable, but rather that it accomplished something that I sincerely didn't believe was possible. It manages to tell a story with hilarious comedy and incredibly lewd ecchi scenes, but at the same time also have a legitimately suspenseful and interesting plotline, *without* making those aspects feel incompatible. I don't think I have ever seen such a smooth and natural way of merging serious and non-serious elements anywhere else where it actually succeeds on both fronts.
Now the anime covers the entirety of the first arc of the manga, which tells the story of five boys who enroll in a previously all-girls boarding school which has just become co-ed. However,…
