Although this only contains 6 short 3 minute clips it is just as funny as the original series. I highly recommend anyone to watch these short clips if they are a fan of the original series. Watching this reminded me of how i would used to wait every week for this anime and how it was well worth it each time. WATCH THIS! IT IS A MUST IF YOU LIKE COMEDY!!

These are just a set of 6 couple minute skits (I believe the longest is like 5 min), and in my opinion, they aren't that funny, but you can watch them all in like length of a normal episode, so there's really not a point in skipping them if you liked the show. Also, I swear one of the skits was a repeat from an earlier episode. Anyways the rest of this review will be really short sense its basically a 1 episode review. Story: 4, Not really any story, but for pure comedy I split the score 1/5 Story and 3/5 Comedy for a total4/10. Pretty similar to my score for the main story, but 1 less point in comedy.nnArt: 7, same score, the art maintains its quality and consistency.nnSound: 8, lost one point from original anime because there was basically no music.nnCharacter: 6, same scorennEnjoyment: 6, lost one point, I didn't find it quite as funny as other episodes.nnOverall: 6, this is okay, just not as good as the original anime.

I will keep it short. If you miss your highschool days with your friends doing stupid stuff most of the time...well this is your show. basically the show sets you up for a group of highschool boys...there thoughts about world and how they deal with it. Is the story unique? noWere the characters well-rounded? well...they need not be in this kind of setting.nDid the characters react to situations and events in a realistic way? weirdly at times...yes.nnnbut at the same time Most of the story telling doesn't seem forced ... and realistic at times...and that's what makes this show so unique. nnnAnyway if you want to just watch a casual light hearted comedy...this is it.
