A work that I wanted to see to kill time and ended up regaining my love for audiovisual media and what they have to offer.220https://1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/c5066bdf23784300bde18d97dd9b04081632477160main.jpg Synopsis: Sket Dance tells the adventures of Kaimei Academys SketDan a club that is dedicated to solving any problems raised by the student council for the overall improvement of students lives. Based on the plot of the series we can expect that the series will not be a great adventure with a very elaborate plot until later but rather an episodic work in which each chapter will have a different protagonist and therefore a story apart from that of our main characters The series takes place in an ordinary world mostly an educational Institute using parody and gag Humor transmitted through images and not words as main resources. On a great variety of occasions we will find scenes and even complete chapters of parodies of other wellknown and popular cult series but it is not limited only to the field of animation Sket dance also parodies different recognized Actors both in Japan and in the rest of the world including celebrities. like for example Michael Jackson. There are times when the series even makes fun of itself breaking the fourth wall on many occasions a resource that the author Shinohara Kenta uses in a magnificent and very recurring way in most of his episodes from the characters talking about their voice actors to discussing the terms of conditions when publishing explicit or inappropriate content in the industry. Characters: What I love the most and what made me fall in love with this work is the individuality that each character possesses and they are not few. Each and every one of them is unique in its own way and its impossible not to fall in love with the cast of the series. I will talk more about the 3 main characters of the play. 220https://64.media.tumblr.com/706c508d7cf92713c2fd7116e408995a/tumblrmvwv56lq0l1rtfj5ho1500.jpgFujisaki Yuusuke Bossun: It could be said that of the three he is the Hero of this story but that is not entirely correct since the stereotype of the protagonist that is usually used is quite the opposite he is a character character immature lazy and childish in most of his time he can be seen playing with toys as if he were a child he usually wanders in the club room or playing jokes with his acquaintances he gets easily depressed and selfconscious when he is insulted or Left aside. Regardless of these flaws Bossun is a very analytical person when it comes to dealing with problems. What I like about this specific character is how much one can empathize with him because he is an ordinary person without many talents extremely humble and enthusiastic despite the fact that not everything goes as he would like he remains firm and keep going. He follows his ideology of helping everyone who has the courage to seek his help going to any extreme if the situation warrants it. 220https://64.media.tumblr.com/e5ff26e4480e673edc5955679f035380/66b256acec5df33c5d/s400x600/fc4b30fe591f62e730ffed867caa28a742b4e4e2.jpg Hime Onizuka Himeko: An exdelinquent who used to fight with anyone who came across her she is the one who does the dirty work when the situation calls for violence and she is the one who usually finishes off the series jokes. Although she appears to be tomboyish and violent she has a taste for cute and cuddly things. He shows unwavering loyalty to the leader of the group and therefore follows him everywhere. What I like most about her is her constant attempt to be a better person to forget that delinquent past that haunts her throughout the play. 220https://i.quotev.com//q/u/13/07/05/tumblrlry208rmBe1r1oczto11316728418cover.jpg Usui Kazuyoshi Switch: He is the mind and the secretary of the group due to the events that took place in his life switch chooses not to speak with his mouth he does so through a voice synthesizer through his computer. He is an otaku who apparently enjoys making fun of others not much can be said from his expressions since he doesnt have one. Later in the work his story is delved into. What I love most about Switch is the fact that the conclusion of the play is about his selfimprovement and everything that he stands for hes probably the most developed character in the play. 220https://animeclubreviews.com/images/wallpapers/sketdance4.jpg Of the rest of the secondary characters I could spend all day writing about them and what they represent but there is no time for it. As I said before each character is unique from a Samurai in the middle of the 21st century to a manga artist who constantly breaks the fourth wall. The message of the work and all that it means Help the rest This story taught me that no one can live by themselves each and every one of us at some point in our history will need the support of someone else and this work speaks of how important it is to be willing to offer our help to those who need it. teaches us to look around us and reflect on the lives of others and understand that we are all different and have various problems teaches us not to be afraid to ask for help and above all to value the present leave the past behind and keep going. What does helping others mean to you? Bossun answers this question as follows: Being someone who understands others. Not to change people so that they can overcome their problems but to make people recognize where they stand and appreciate themselves as they are now by giving them a push in the back. My conclusion Sket dance is definitely my favorite show it has taught me a lot about how to be a better person and how to cope with my problems with the best of smiles it is a series with which you will laugh out loud but you will also learn and youre going to cry its a long journey but its totally worth your time and patience. I fell in love with this anime/manga and Im sure it will happen to more than one. So should you watch Sket dance? Give it a try and I swear you wont regret it.
