1. Grand Blue
Grand Blue is an animated series written by Kenji Inoue. The animation was aired in the summer of 2018. But I've first read the manga series way back in 2017 then watch the animation after a year. And I've enjoyed the story, it was so fun whether you read or watch it.
The story is about a first-year college engineering student, Iori Kitahara. Who have high hopes and dreams for his future college experience at Izu University. But later on, all his hopes and dreams have shattered after he entered the diving shop "Grand Blue" that was owned by his uncle. He got persuaded by his senpais for a party and when he woke up he's already in University hall –naked in the opening ceremony. Now all of the students accused him of being a pervert and look him in disdain. It was the complete opposite of what he had imagined it to be.
Though, it's a bit sad that it only has 12 episodes. There's still a lot of funny stories up ahead in the manga series. And my favorite is Chapter 32- The Charpy Impact Test. It was the best and funniest chapter I've ever read. I won't talk about the chapter's content here for it will spoil the fun, you should read it yourself.
2. Prison School
Prison School is an animated series written by Akira Hinamoto and Michiko Yokote. The anime has 12 episodes and the manga has 28 volumes with over 80 chapters. The anime was so fun, though the may be dark it fits well with the punchlines of the story.
The story revolves around the 5 boys: Kiyoshi, Jo, Andre, Shingo, and Gakuto who were enrolled in a prestigious all-girls school, Hachimitsu Private Academy. Who also just change its rule to let boys enroll as well. They seem happy about being the only boys of the academy but the girls cast them away without giving them a single chance to express themselves. Due to the disappointments of not having a girl to talk to, the boys make a hideous plan–that is, peeking into girls' bath. but they've been caught by the Underground Student Council and was thrown to school prison. And thus, their harsh life begins, struggle to survive the cruelty of the Underground Student Council and events that would put their bonds of friendship and brotherhood to a test.
3. Great Teacher Onizuka
Great Teacher Onizuka is a manga series written by FUJISAWA Tohru. The anime has 43 episodes and 25 manga volumes with a total of 200 chapters. It's a pretty old anime, it was aired in summer of the year 1999. And has won the 22nd Kodansha Manga Award for Best Shounen Manga. I have finished the story just recently and it had touched my heart and become one if my favorite manga/anime. The story was very funny and also inspirational. The story does portray the saying "What matters the most was your manners" not how high one's educational attainment is or how much salary' one received.
The story is about a 22-years-old delinquent, ex-motorbike-gang, and a virgin yearning to become the greatest teacher in Japan–Eikichi Onizuka. It's not that it was his passion to become a teacher, he just dreamed to have a beautiful teenage girl taking care of him when he gets old, and the only way for it to happen was to become a teacher. He was then assigned in the most problematic class, where the students will do anything just to kick-out their teachers. And that's when his journey to become the greatest teacher in the world began.
1. Gintama
Gintama is from a manga series written by Hideaki Sorachi and was aired in the spring of 2006. It now has a total of 353 episodes and 3 movies, but seriously I still don't understand the plot of this anime's story. I just enjoyed their parodies of the other animations, and they even make parodies based on real-life events just like how they make a parody about the public apology of a Japanese politician for its opening. Nevermind the plot, It was the humor of the anime that brings its success.
