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…

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 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…

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…

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…

There isn't a linear plot in this anime i.e. each episode begins & ends randomly.The student council consists of 5 members.The first 4 student council members are chosen by votes.The top four who get most votes gets to be in the student council while 5th spot is for the student who gets most grades.We have our 4 beautiful girls Aka-chan,Mafuyu,Chizuru & Minatsu who got their positions due to being well-liked by everyone while Ken who got in cou…

Due to the fact that this anime focuses primarily on comedy I was a little hesitant in starting this series, however I was greatly surprised when this series kept its interest up for me all while sticking to its parady basis.
The art for this series was surprisingly good for a comedy, let alone any anime for that matter. The artists did a great job on creating moving backgrounds which captures the eye of the viewer and draws you into the scene even more. However, the backgrounds were barely used as a majority of this anime takes place in the student council room. Fear not for the characters of the student council were each beautifully drawn and their movements throughout were fluid and seamless.
The characters were each unique and filled all the particular slots needed for a true harem t…

Art (7/10)
This anime mostly took place in the Student Council room so background detail was limited to only the walls, furniture and other items in and around the room. On the rare occasion that the Seitokai was actually shown going outside for a prolonged period of time, the background details were decent; I couldn't notice any sloppy or rushed animations. As for the characters, they were well-drawn and easy to look at.
Characters (9/10)
What I like in an anime is for the characters to be different. Variety makes for a good experience and this is exactly what Seitokai no Ichizon did. Despite using common archetypes like the loli, the sadist, the tomboy, the shy girl and the perverted male, the combination of these characters made watching the show enjoyable. It is evident that, because…

Ok well this is my first review and it might be kind of weird so here we go!!... anyways Seitokai no Ichizon was an amazing anime!! It was funny, so very moe, and very entertaining. The anime is about a school council, that...well does nothing. The School council consists of 5 students, Kurimu Sakurano, the president, who has a small stature and has an insane sweet tooth, and has a lot of moe moments. Then there is Ken Sugisaki, who in my opinion is the greatest lead male character ever. He is addicted to H-games and wants to make the student council into his harem. Then the two siblings Minatsu Shiina and Mafuyu Shiina. Minatsu being the athletic one who is really into Action manga etc. and Mafuyu who talks in 3rd person throughout the whole anime, and is heavily addicted to RPG's and BL'…

[Story: 5.5] The success of shows like Suzumiya Haruhi and Lucky Star has initiated many new trends – from having characters dancing in the theme songs to featuring genre-savvy meta characters as the central gimmick. Seitokai no Ichizon is yet another anime jumping onto the bandwagon, bringing with it a setting that parallels said shows. Clearly, the influences are undeniable. Again, this is understandable. Since references and parody anime has become the new fad, it is natural (expected, even) for the industry to produce more of such shows, because ultimately, the industry exist to sell itself. With that said however, it all goes back to something fundamental: doing something that is considered popular does not make you popular. And that’s where Seitokai no Ichizon flops.

There have been a lot of mixed feelings about Seitokai no Ichizon, I for one think this anime was quite good and this is why. (Ya I suck with introductions)
Although Seitokai no Ichizon has no real plot to it I still found this anime very refreshing to watch. The anime includes a ton of references and quite a bit of the material made me laugh. However at some points I did feel that Seitokai no Ichizon overdid it with the comedy. Even though it was fun to watch at some points I felt some of the material was really random and it really had no point to it.
One of the things I really liked about Seitokai no Ichizon was the serious story at the end of the episodes. Although at first I didn't know what it was there for in the end it all tied together in the end, which is one of the main reason…

Parody and comedy are a staple genre in the anime world and sometimes can be hit or miss. This is because to truly understand parody you have enough experience with the things that are being parodied. As a foreigner to Japan and the majority of its culture, a great deal of this goes over my head as it would a foreigner trying to understand some of the humor from my own country. All of that being said some things are universally funny in comedy and that brings us to Seitokai no Ichizon, an anime that forgets to deliver the most important element a comedy must have... humor.
There isn’t any real story in Ichizon. The episodes are loosely tied together for the most part and center on the exploits of a high school student council. While shows revolving around clubs and student councils are qu…

Seitokai no Ichizon- a.k.a average ecchi anime is the main tag here. Even being an "average" ecchi anime, Personally, I enjoyed this anime from the first episode to the last. But that's only personally, and SURELY this anime won't appeal to everyone.
Main character is Ken Sugisaki, being the only male in the Student council club while all the other club members are all females. Well, that does sound like a average ecchi/harem anime! Nothing special.
Story- No story. Nothing. All its about is random events and chatter of the members of the student council club. Although Ken Sugisaki has one objective, which is to make the club his own harem. He repeats it in each episode, but in the end, only gets bullied/ beaten up by the other council members. To put it simply, he is only a perverted id…

This is my very first review on MAL,and I 've decided that it's going to be about my favourite fall season show which just ended recently,Seitokai no Ichizon.This review might contain grammar mistakes and wrong uses of words,since I myself am not a native speaker to begin with.however,I'd be very glad if someone found this useful.
Please notice that the overall ratings doesn't show how much I like this show.It's just the average of all the aspects like animation or sound,etc...Therefore it should provide you a true and fair view about how enjoyable this show is in my opinion
Story:left out
As mentioned,SnI is a show about the endless chatting of a group of teenagers in the student council room.There's not much thing going on,therefore I decided to leave out the rating for the story,since i…

No.
This anime embodies what I hate the most about anime, which is anime that do not know what to be, where it belongs, what it wants to portray or tell the viewer. This is a prime example of this and the fault lies entirely with the producers, because they need to deliver what fanboys want, they do not want to make good anime.
The result is something like this, and of course many others, but since this is a review, or perhaps a bit of a... mm... discussional block of text(?) I will confine myself to this production known as Seitokai no Ichizon. An anime about a student council and their daily antics (like that's never been done before eh?).
But for the sake of argument; fine. It's about a student council. I was, like always, very sceptical about this anime, but I thought hey let's give…

You know, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu has a lot to answer for. For a while there it felt like anime, as a medium, had decided to be a bit more inventive, a bit more creative. Hope is a great thing, no?
To be fair, what happened next wasn't really the fault of SHnY, but the damage was already done. Beginning with Lucky Star, which was a pretty good comedy for the most part, the slippery slope of formulaic school based parody shows with a supposedly eclectic set of characters who literally do nothing rapidly became a tiresome methodology, with numerous shows following this trend until the advent of Seitokai no Ichizon (The Student Council's Discretion).
The story is based on a series of light novels, published from January 2008, by Aoi Sekina (with illustrations by Inugami Kira). Now one wo…

*Hekiou Academy Student Council Meeting Log*
“… I am Kaicho (president), I am KaichoO! By the way, does the president do anything?” – excerpt from episode 11’s ending theme.
What happens when four pretty girls and one handsome guy spend most of their school time everyday in a confined room? Naughty thoughts aside, if you were thinking “oh my god, not another harem” then you were right! Seitokai no Ichizon is NOT a harem, strictly speaking (though our male protagonist tries very hard to make it so). In reality the poor dude gets bully by his female mates more than he ever deserves. So who might this anime be good for? If you are looking for a parody that pokes fun at itself and the entire anime industry in general, then Seitokai no Ichizon will surely meet and most likely exceed your exp…

Pending a proper review by someone else at the time of writing, let me donate my two cents after having completed Seitokai no Ichizon. Involving a student council, as the name suggests, discussing various subjects in their room for the most part. A student council made up of the four most popular students and the most studious student. Unsurprisingly the four most popular are girls. Funnily enough, or not, the most studious is a male. So begins their story, or they say.
The real name of the series, or so I heard, is actually the Hekiou Academy Student Council Meeting Log. True to that namesake, the whole of the rather episodic plot takes place in the student council room. Well, that's not the worst that could happen (they even warned the viewers about it in typical fourth wall demolishing…
