"Cromartie High School" walks a thin line of comedy. You either think it's funny or stupid and I found too many jokes to be predictable and obvious.
The story starts off a bit original for a high school anime but after a while it's just an absurd school. The delinquent theme wasn't used as well as it could have been.
The dialogue can be predictable and repetitive but there are funny and even intellectually interesting moments! In my opinion these don't outweigh the bad times though. For example, one of the last episodes taught me that my opinion of people is subconsciously greatly determined by those people's appearance.
The art looks old. You could say it's original or adds to the comedy but to me it just isn't as good as other series.
One of the reasons I gave this score is because it felt as if the 10 minute long episodes were 20min episodes. That must mean that I was a bit bored while watching this.
I can see how some people might really like this show but it didn't have my kind of humour.
