Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! is an OVA about two boys who, bored with their lives, decide to take advantage of a school transfer to reinvent themselves as delinquents. At first, they don’t get along at all, but over time they end up becoming really good friends.
Even though it has 10 episodes of about 40 minutes each, which seems like plenty of time to develop the story and characters, the anime sticks to typical archetypes and doesn’t try any kind of growth or evolution. I get that it’s supposed to be a comedy, but personally, the tone didn’t really work for me. I only laughed once at the hair joke, and even then, it wasn’t much. Compared to other comedies, I’d say it hasn’t aged well.
The fights, which are a big part of the anime, don’t have great animation even considering when it was made. What…

The term hidden gem gets thrown out a lot in media, but I would absolutely call this anime a hidden gem. Without an official English name listed here the show roughly translated to "starting today I am..." is a mix up of a fun, slapstick, comedy with a delinquent drama where high school kids are all in some kind of gang constantly getting into fights with each other. The mix in tone of serious and parody works surprisingly well here though the majority of the time. I actually prefer the name "Self proclaimed Bad boy" which is used as a title card in the first episode.
A really fun main cast make this mash up of gimmicks work starting with the duo main protagonists. The dirty fighting Mitsuhashi is usually the center of attention, and his mix of clever and goofy cheating balances out well…

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! is an absolute gem in the world of comedy anime, delivering non-stop laughs and memorable moments from start to finish. This series follows the hilarious misadventures of two unlikely friends, Takashi and Shinji, as they navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence with their own unique brand of charm and ineptitude.
What sets Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! apart is its brilliant blend of slapstick humor, witty dialogue, and endearing character dynamics. Takashi and Shinji's bumbling attempts to carve out a place for themselves in their new school and the world at large are equal parts relatable and uproarious. Whether they're stumbling into absurd situations or inadvertently causing chaos wherever they go, their antics never fail to elicit genuine laughter.
Moreover, the supporti…

This piece of pure, exciting and truly not-so-unique, yet good take on delinquent comedy truly deserves 10/10.
Story : 7/10
This anime didn't have best of story, but it delivers a better taking on delinquency of high school boys with two new transfer student. Both of them met day before school debut with an aim to become full delinquent. And after that by many comedic scenes, they both become very well know in there area.
As a result everyday comes with new challenges. They met friends and foe, with love angels and entertain us with comedy and friendship. Though if you take Mitsuhashi as a friend, you are done. Not believing me, just ask Imai from Beni High.
Art : 8/10
Since this show is a '90s, art aren't like todays, but perfectly fits for enjoyment. This show have one thing that…

If you're looking for a gritty and realistic look into the life of a high school delinquent in Japan then you are in the wrong place. In fact, our two main characters aren't even true delinquents. However, that doesn't stop them from gaining the reputation as the most badass duo to walk the earth as they trample over their competition with unwavering confidence, brute strength, cunning and a helluva lot help from luck and the blunders of Katsutoshi Imai. Despite its rather simple nature, Kyou kara Ore wa is an exceptional anime.
Kyou kara Ore wa is about two high schoolers who, upon moving to a new school decide to reinvent themselves as delinquents. To make matters more interesting, they both figure out that the other is faking from the start and stumble their way into a confrontation wi…

I enjoyed this anime and don't regret watching it, but am unsure if I'll remember a lot of it in a few months as it's largely carried by it's main protagonist, Mitsuhashi. Mitsuhashi is, usually, a jerk with a heart of gold, and a somewhat hyperactive one at that,. This character archetype can be rather difficult to pull off well as you a bit too often these types of characters' jerkass antics cease to be entertaining and start to become grating, but luckily Mitsuhashi doesn't fall into that. His antics, and the comedy style of the series as a whole, do start to become rather predictable but it's still entertaining enough. I never felt bored watching it.
His supporting cast, however, is rather bland by comparison. His best friendemy and "secondary protagonist," Itou, is cool and serves hi…

"you are my friend but if things get worse, i don't know you" this line that you will hear during the ending theme of each episode, summarize the philosophy of our heroes(or should i say our villains ).
i find myself obligated to write a review about this awesome OVA since it passes under the radar of so many people, i discovered this hidden gem lately and i am glad i watched it .
this anime isn't about cute girls with magical powers or teenagers piloting giant robots to save the world or some overpowered kids who embark in an epic quest ,no,it is all about bromance ,delinquents gangs,bad boys beating the crap out of each other , slapstick comedy and hilarious situations in order to summarize it, do you remember slam dunk? do you remember when sakuragi and his gang were goofing around and…

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! (KKOW)
I recently watched this 10 Episode OVA series about a month ago; and really enjoyed it, it was reminiscent of Great Teacher Onizuka, Beelzebub, and many other Delinquent-styled anime. The length of it is a great thing; each episode varies in length therefore on average they are 43 minutes per episode, some are 60 minutes and some are 35 minutes.
Story : 9/10
The story is mainly about Mitsuhashi and Itou as they pretend to be delinquents, it can be funny at times, and at other times it has a good plot however the plot is usually episodic (only lasting one episode at a time, however develops the characters). There was atleast one Arc i would say, that was a story where it was more than one episode consisting of the same story (it took more episodes and time to fil…

Do you like watching high schoolers beating each other to a pulp while having a laugh at it? Well my friend, I got the perfect gift for you, even if it comes wrapped somewhat messily (cringy analogy). So anyway, let’s get the technical aspects out of the way, shall we?
Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! is a 90’s action comedy made by Pierrot, which means that the art style is bland and the animation is passable at best. The sound and the voice acting is also nothing to write home about and the absence of an opening is a little disappointing. The best aspect about it is the well-choreographed fighting scenes (that’s what we are here for anyway), even if some recycled bits are thrown here and there.
So visually, there’s really nothing interesting here, but aside from that, is the anime good? I do think…

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!
When i was watching KKOW i realised that i've seen this in my childhood but just the first 3 episodes and i just felt happy to see this, because i never knew the name of the anime and all of a sudden i was watching something that i was looking for a long time and i have to write that you should watch this masterpiece too.

Kyou kara Ore wa!! Is another delinquent anime, but a real good one. I am a sucker for anime about delinquents for example Yu Yu Hakusho , GTO, Shonan Junai Gumi(the prequel to GTO), and Tenjou Tenge. Kyou kara Ore wa is closer to the likes of Shonan Junai Gumi and the beginning of Yu Yu hakusho. This Ova though holds its own against all those anime mentioned earlier which is not easy to do. Anyways onto the review;
Story: The story does not have an overall plot or big arc story-line that it follows, it is more like an episodic anime. The anime starts with the two main characters entering a new school but want to change their image to bad-boys or delinquents . The kick is they never met each other until recently and they don't really get along at first. Even though the anime might be epis…
