to say the least, this is quite a crazy anime. It's difficult to describe the basis of the story but it simply follows the lives of a group of high-school girls and their teachers, each with different querks. although each episode is pretty much stand alone, the whole series follows the girls through their three years in high-school, from entrance to graduation. as long as you watch the first few episodes (which introduce the characters), you'll understand what's going on (the episodes really seem like the manga, which itself are a bunch of four panelled stories which stand alone well, but when put together make a great series). of course, nothing matches watching the full series. it might not have much action, but it's great fun and well animated, it's guaranteed to make you laugh and smile and it's just so adorable you'll feel a special bond with each character by the end. you'll find yourself drawn into the character's world and you'll be sad to say goodbye to them when the series ends.
