Before reading I deleted this review because I had to find if some things I wrote were correct and they were but it was hard to find some veracity on this thing but with the research I had now everything is fine. Honestly why I am hurting myself with watching bad anime? What am I gaining? All that time wasted. Why are we still here just to suffer? I hope you don't mind spoilers for something like this. You thought Mars of Destruction or Skelter Heaven were bad anime. I researched so much for a a treasure with lots of poop inside. I will review GakuentoshiVaranoir Joukan, the lost sister of both series mentioned above. Also note this anime is only Raw state.nnOne thing before starting, no Myanimelist, this series is not 25 minutes each episode. The first episode is 50 minutes long and the second is 43 minutes long. Yeah in total this is Idea Factory's longest running crapfest of the OVAs they have made. 1 hour and 33 minutes of my life gone. It seems that MAL is basing this lenght because there is a torrent that divides the first episode in 2 parts but it is still the same episode.nnLet's begin with the obvious the art and story. The artstyle and animation are the best in trying to insert the most awful animation and artstyle you can come up with.nnThe show begins with horrible pictures made in paint and with a grandpa having a sexual affection for his grandaughter. Yes it is one of those. Then after the girl finishes dressing she goes to the school she got accepted and they show this abhorrent background and they shove to the face everytime they can. Also this series incorporates a horrible and shitty Haohmaru from Samurai Showdown copy that fights the main protagonist for some reason. But she has the power of luck because everytime she looks down there is money and she defeats her enemies like that.nnSo what other bad type of animation is found here. What if I told you that the producers are so crazy and so retarded that when our protagonist presents herself to the class and all her classmates and literally all her classmates are just the same 2 characters copy and pasted and with the same expression.nThey are so cheap and take the viewers as a fool is over beyond and you want to know something. The first episode is being sold on Amazon Japan for over 100$. If anyone wants to have that turd in their collection go ahead but they should be giving those copies for free.nnIn episode 2. nnThey start with a food competition where our protagonist and her rival compete and other cheap way to solve animation issues is that the assholes grab frames of the animation. Put it in Stop and then they just start zooming into the faces of the characters whenever they feel like it. nnLater the protagonist and her rival go to a horrible… -

If there is an anime that is more of a failure than this than tell... no DON'T tell me about it... I'll start with the story - Young girl finds that her burger is wraped in a school advertisement - so guess what - she decide to go and study there... Actually it is a waste of my time to write it... Maybe, if it was done somehow different, the story wouldn't be so bad. Art - for a 2002 anime, the art was poor t.i. background was so lame like a fifth-graders computer work, the characters was like they were pulled out of 1990 anime. Sound -wasn't that bad, compared to all togeather...nnEnjoyment - Was there any?..nnDon't waste your time on this!!!
