AniWorthToday in Class 5-2 (TV)
Introduction
Following the line of the precedent OVAs (of the same name) This anime goes around the normal lives of some elementary school (5th grade, 2nd class room) kids and their adventures, while turning to teens. Their games, stupid jokes, and the misunderstandings around their premature attraction to the opposite sex. Ryota Satou is the main character here, but his friends are almost as important as him since the school wouldn't be the same without them, especially the girls who the majority of time appear to be mature by their ages but in the ends they are as childish and even more "dangerous" than the boys.

This is a decent series about a group of 5th graders dealing with everyday life one step at a time.
The series wasn't really about romance, but rather more about the comedy, also I didn't know 5th graders were so violent with each other. The romance was really just thrown in there in the last two episodes of the series. Everything else, was mainly about everyday 5th grader lives, getting locked in the gym equipment shack, spilling things, being clumsy, weight panic etc...
~Characters 9/10~
The characters went pretty well in depth with ease. With about 8 main characters, the fun and comedy isn't centered around just one person, it is spread around. These 5th graders are unexpectedly perverted and violent, two things I didn't witness much when I was in 5th grade.
~Story 6/10~
The story is…

My second Review! If you want my shtick about how I'm veeery biased and just live and let me live, go to my first, cuz I'm not repeating myself! Also, for those of you who've noticed, I don't really plan on doing a review, I just sum up the series in a manner as spoiler free as possible to allow people to actively decide whether or not they'll like it or not, because honestly those are the best types of reviews!
This anime is essentially Azumanga Daioh during elementary school, if mixed with some males and a little bit more peanuts (the comic) thrown in (The male lead, swear to god, is some weird combination of Sunohara from Clannad mixed with Charlie Brown). All of this is done to a beautiful art style and character designs very remniscent of Strawberry Marshmallow (I.E. Everyone is REAL…

A light-hearted story of a normal, average day told from the perspective of the 5th graders themselves, That sums up Kyou no Go no Ni (Today in Class 5-2). It's a enjoyable show, with enough comedy to last you quite a long time. While there's not alot of actual "plot", there is however, the hilariously mischievous cast of 5th graders that we get to watch, being themselves.
Story: (7/10 - C)
There's not really a story, unless you count each day a different plot a story. There's three periods per episode, 3 different events unfold. Whether it's being locked in a storage room with the girl of your dreams or rocking out with a broomstick, each episode leaves you giggling uncontrollably. It's pretty straight-forward: 5th graders being 5th graders.
Animation: (8.5/10 - B+)

If you have not seen the OVA I would recommend not watching the OVA until finishing the TV series. That way you will not feel let down. It was like Tenchi, I first saw Tenchi in Tokyo and enjoyed it, then I saw the OVA and was blown away.
For what it's worth I rather liked the TV version. The OVA had the ecchi and more perverted stuff apparently, but I don't think they're really missing that much from this one. Maybe the TV censorship is just getting around to everyone. I'm not the least bit surprised. I won't only blame Xebec for that. They're censoring anime nowadays too.
The animation, I didn't mind one bit actually. Maybe I'm getting too used to the blobby-animation techniques by a lot of Gainax anime and something like Death Metal City that doesn't worry too much about sticking to…
