Man, I did not expect Sket Dance to be this good—honestly, it's one of, if not the best Comedy animes of all time. Words cannot describe how much I laughed at this.
Sket Dance is about a group of 3 high schools part of the Sket-Dan club that is aimed to help people with various tasks. The premise reminded me of Violet Evergarden's way of storytelling, in that it isn't solely about the main character but in-depth telling of many supporting characters. It is like that for Sket Dance as well, I know a lot about the supporting characters too.
The 3 characters are amazing. Bossun, Onihime, and Switch. Bossun's backstory is wholesome yet tragic, and he is a great guy. Onihimes backstory is quite interesting and tragic too. Switch's backstory is tragic and quite messed up, to say the least. It…

I don't know why but every time SKET Dance re-broadcast on TV, when I decided to watch it, they always broadcast the episode where Bossun really want to go to the toilet but always find hindrances along the way. I don't know if this is some omen or just a very bad coincidence. Nevertheless, SKET Dance became one of the best comedy anime I have ever watch and I still thought so until the day I write this. And I am going to tell you why.
SKET Dance follows a story of a club in Kaimei High School called Sket Dan (derived from Suketto or Help in Japanese) and their daily shenanigans. Since the club is about helping other people, the story revolves around the club's effort to solve other people's problem and because everyone seems like requesting crazy things to Sket Dan, they never have a reg…

SKET Dance is a slice of life comedy manga written and illustrated by Shinohara Kenta. In 2011, Tatsunoko, the same studio behind Kyatto Ninden Teyandee & C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control, started airing an anime adaptation. The anime lasted for nearly eighty episodes and ran for over a year, ending in late 2012.It was introduced to me as like Gintama, but done well. So how true is that and is it worth watching?
Story:
Kaimei High School has an unusual student organisation. This is the titular SKET Dan, a support club that helps students or other clubs who need them. It has three members, Himeko, Bossun & Switch. The series basically covers their misadventures and the quirky people they encounter. This is one of those series where there's a general order to the episodes, but…

Story: 9/10
The story is fairly straight-forward and follows The Living Assistance Club (Sket Dance) at Kaimei High School that help out their fellow students with problems that they are currently facing. No matter how big or small they are always there to provide assistance and advice to deal with the situation.
Coming into this show you will find that a majority of the episodes will deal with a student having a problem and the club members coming up with a way to solve their problem. And yes it does get episodic which for some people could get boring and perhaps repetitive. However it is the way the club members go about trying to solve the problem that I find enjoyable to watch.
This show is hilarious and funny with plenty of joke…

Plot:
Sket dance is an anime series based on the manga of the same name in which you 3 students sitting in there club house which is called as the sket club and helping the helpless ones in the school. Fairly simple plot which in the beginning would make you doubt that why the hell does it have 77 episodes. It’s not an action pack series although it does have bits and pieces of action in it. It hardly contains any drama and the amount of romance is also close to nothing. Then most of the people would be wondering why they should even bother watching it and the answer to the question would be “it’s amusing that’s why”.
Characters:
When the content of a series is so moderate the only thing that can help series to survive is characters. Sket dance have an amazing set of characters, weird one…

Anime that makes you roll around laughing out loud does not come by all that often. However in the span of 77 episodes, the ones that caused genuine laughter were maximum 10. The rest of the episodes were either simply pleasant to watch or slightly amusing. Many were downright boring. But these are not the only problems of Sket Dance...
Somehow, Sket Dance fails to get you emotionally involved with the characters. It is not that they are not likeable, they are. Yet they miss that certain quality that makes you really care what happens with them, that quality that makes it a joy to watch them go about their lives and interacting simply because they are great characters. Which I guess is the point: They are not in fact great characters, otherwise we'd care, otherwise just watching them talk…

SKET Dance became my instant favorite the moment I got into it, and it has valid reasons for so. It's one of the very few anime's which execute both the Slice of Life and Comedic elements perfectly well. 77 episodes is not a very huge number considering the vast amount of entertainment it provides.
So the story revolves around the fictional Kaimei High School, with our three members of the 'SKET Club' who aid the people in need of help, whatever their issue maybe. You may think at first the number of episodes for this show is too much, considering that it revolves around the very same concept of the SKET Club supporting the people and getting rid of their troubles, but there's more to it. SKET Dance has an extremely funny and a humorous nature that goes hand in hand with its plotline. Wi…

Story (10/10):
This story/plot is very simple enough, which is about high school life and volunteer to help and cooperate one another, also to make new friends. Some scenes may be very unexpected you will see as didn't know whether it's great or disappointment. Also some scenes are very funny and hilarious much xD.
Art (8/10):
Well overall in background, animation and characters of art, it's very fine much I'm not explaining this much sorry!, so it's good too! :)
Sound (9/10):
From the sounds, first of all the opening it's very rock music that I hear too much same as the ending too. Then the background music are quite fantastic it matched perfectly of what scene it expressed such as funny,intense,dramatic,etc.
Characters (8/10):
All of the characters are very various traits and attitud…

This anime was very enjoyable to watch as to ,that it was a really funny comedy. The stupidity and parody were really amusing and at times I couldn't stop laughing because of the funny scenes.
However the first episode putted me off the anime at first because it didn't have impact and it confused me about who was the main character but as the anime progress you feel more intact with the anime and learn about the pasts of bossun and onihime and switch . Which were very emotional because of them having such sad pasts. because of the drama and comedy it totally made me want to finish the anime and I think that unless u don't like comedy's , I wouldn't recommend this for you

I started watching this at night when I couldn't get to sleep, this was a bad mistake, why? because I ended up waking my neighbours by laughing so much.
Story - No it is not about dancing if that was you were wondering, you have 3 teens (Bossun, Himeko and Switch) in school who are apart of 3 member club who go round heping others but do so in hilarious way and sometimes get themselves in hilarious situations. Despite being episodic, it reminds of the TV sitcom Friends where regardless of how many times I watch the same episodes, I find it extremely funny.
Art and Sound - pretty much average, nothing really worth mentioning.
Character - As I stated, the main characters are apart of a club which goes round helping people, the characters are hilarious and are extremely likeable. The an…

SKET Dance.. What is it actually??
It's not an anime Dancing. But, as you can see from synopsis, SKET Dance is actually a Living Assistance Club. They help many people from their own problem. But, is it worth to watch this anime? Is this fun to watch? Let's see...
- Story: 8 / 10
The story mostly happened in their school, doing some random things together in their school, and help many people. Not just like the ordinary slice-of-life anime, but extraordinary slice-of-life anime. The story is light and not confusing every part. It's actually pretty funny and entertaining every episode. If you fan of Slice of Life and Funn…

Overview:
Sket Dance, meaning "helpers club" ("助人団"; "Suketto Dan") follows the highschool lives of a trio of friends with what could be described as depressing backgrounds that form the club "Sket Dance" which aims to help any academy member in need. They grow strong bonds with a good bunch of the town that they live in as they go through their daily lives. Sket Dance is a comedy that follows the "recipe" of fellow comedy Gin Tama along with quite a few voice actors, they even did a crossover episode!
Plot 8/10:
Nice little story going on here, the anime itself doesn't actually start and finish with the manga as it is ongoing, though I do feel like it stopped at a good time. We have our group in the "Skettu Dan" working towards the problems brought to them by fellow members of the schoo…

This anime is one that I'd rewatch if i had no more anime to watch at the moment, and thats only because the anime is long and its really good.
If any of you watched Gintama its similar in many ways: It has LOADS of comedy, its main characters are 3 friends that are really close, but the difference between the 3 characters in Gintama and Sket Dance is that in Gintama the 3 meet up during the anime and in Sket Dance they knew each other before hand.
Sket Dance is about those 3 main characters, whose Nicknames are Bossun, Himeko, and Switch. Bossun is the leader of the group, Switch is an Otaku who is good with the computer, which he uses to talk, and Himeko, even if she doesnt look like it, is a former delinquent, but as you watch the anime you'll know the back story of these characters…

SKET Dance.
Just the title itself say's alot about the anime.
SKET stands for Support, Kindness, Encouragement, Troubleshoot. The second (助団), which instead uses kanji, derives from the verb tasukeru (助ける), meaning to help or save.
So just from the title you can in some sorts understand that this series is about, well.. Helping.
Judged by many as Gintama set in a school life setting, the series have had a tendency of being flooded by "hate war" comments. I agree with the Gintama fans that the series is very similar. But at the same time it really shines on it's own at times.
But if you think about the fact that author Kenta Shinohara worked as the assistant of Hideaki Sorachi (creator of Gintama), it's really not that weird for him to be influenced.

Sket dance is really an underrated anime coz many people claim that it's an old man's gintama (even the series claims it) but for what it's worth i really enjoyed the series and specially laughed at bossun's facial expressions (mind you they are very funny) also one of the plus points is the excellent music used in the anime so all i can say that it's pretty fun to watch thanks for reading the review

WARNING: There might be hint of fanboy-tism in this review, but since your reading this warning continue reading anyway
Sket Dance was an interesting anime. It was like taking all anime genres and squishing them all together x) At first glance i thought sket dance would be your typical comedy/ school life anime but its way more than that. Sket dance pulls you in, to the point where you feel like youve known the characters for a long time and it feels like youve become one of them, the Sket Dance.The story was well outstanding. Why? because even if Sket Dance starts off as a typical club anime it had its own unique spin, which it expresses quite well. The characters background stories were unexpectedly deep, so deep that sometimes i have to pause while watching to realize whats happening s…

This anime has been finished not too long ago, and unfortunately, it didn't actually seem to ended ( if you watch the last episode ). Many people probably know this anime and some people may want to know if it's worth wasting their time to watch 77 episodes or so. In my opinion, it really depends on what your personal preference for anime are. Even though I rate SKET Dance 10 overall, it really didn't mean that this anime is the best all the way. It just so happens that in Some episode of SKET Dance there're just ones that really interest me, and inspired me to move on to the next.

The story of SKET Dance is what made it especially appealing for everyone to watch. It does not just stick to one genres all the way, but instead switch to others such as, horror, romance, action ( ma…

You're probably wondering, is this anime good enough for me to watch? What is all the hype about this anyway? Well, if you are into comedy anime and just want to have a good laugh, read on!
The story for Sket dance is about these three friends: Yuusuke Fujisaki (Bossun), Hime Onizuka (Himeko) and Kazuyoshi Usui (Switch) and their formation of the SKET Dan! This stands for Support, Kindness, Encouragement and Tech, an Assistance club to help students with their problems, big or small at Kaimei High School. Each and every episode there is usually some problem around the school or their city that they go and fix, no matter the obstacle they encounter, they go all lengths to complete the tasks they get, usually with hilarious results. There are also some episodes that they just do some random…
