Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!?

The plot, which is set in a school for obvious reasons and mostly revolves around four pupils over the course of 12 episodes, is a straightforward unfolding of short vignettes in which students and teachers encounter awkward situations. This is the single area where the anime falters-it's only mediocre rather than excellent.

One of the series' strongest points and the thing that sets it apart from others. This anime creates logically absurd or bizarre situations for 12 episodes over the course of three months, with a high likelihood that these events would occur in REAL LIFE. The introduction and development scenes are succinctly described and have just the appropriate amount of humor in about nine minutes. One of the smoothest and least friction-transitioned frames is projected without a wasted minute. The dialogue, location setting, prop mishandling, and retractions are excellent. There's a lovely synchronization of numerous elements, including the background.

This anime is built around character-based plot development, with each anthology receiving recognition according to how quick, loud, and absurd the scenarios are. It is evident that this anime is cleverly and integrally formed from earlier ecchi failures.

The large cast of unusual characters (male cast) is this anime's other great quality. Currently, a very uncommon group of characters from other anime can be classified with these members; they are all in love without needless character development or time wasted in expressing it. This keeps the anime light and quick, contrasting nicely with its sneaky nudic humor.

A better job could have been done; for example, kojima-tachibana and saya-chizuru could have enjoyed some enjoyable moments on screen, but the plot never tries to force the characters to share screen time with other members who are not part of their story.

This brings us to our second strong point: the original design complements the beautifully rendered expressions, making this anime one of those rare ones where you can chuckle just by looking at a character's face. I had assumed that the designs would be very obvious and mediocre going into it.

A 9-minute short would be too small; at least 18 minutes would be a better fit. A 23-minute episode would be too long and could bore the audience, but a 9-minute short would be too little.

However, now that nande-sensei has been added to the list, several R+- shows have an op/ed that truly strikes a chord in our hearts-Kiss X Sis being one of them for me.

Not only is the tale hilarious, but at some point the viewer becomes emotionally attached to the characters and starts to cheer for their TABOO ROMANCE. This makes the film a must-watch and highly recommended.
