Cromartie High School

2003–2004 · 1 season

A rapid-fire deadpan comedy where absurd delinquent antics and bizarre non-sequiturs pile up with cheerful randomness.

Overview: Folks, meet Takashi Kamiyama. Enrolled at Cromartie High, where everybody is a delinquent, Kamiyama is apparently the only non-delinquent in the school. Logically, therefore, he must be the toughest in his class—by the rather twisted logic that only a really tough rabbit would lie down with lions. Thus begins a story that parodies every cliché of tough-guy anime that you've ever heard of, and some you haven't. Oh, and Freddie Mercury is in it, too.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, light and whimsical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, friendship, rebellion, coming-of-age
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
