Cromartie High School is a comedic anime series that follows the daily lives of a group of teenage delinquents who attend an all-boys high school. The series, which aired from 2003 to 2004, is known for its absurd humor, quirky characters, and offbeat storytelling.

The protagonist of the series is Takashi Kamiyama, a new student at Cromartie High School who initially appears to be a straight-laced, studious young man. However, he soon discovers that his new school is filled with some of the toughest, most unusual delinquents he has ever met. From a robot built by the students to a gorilla masquerading as a human to a quiet, unassuming boy who is actually a legendary motorcycle gang leader, Cromartie High School is anything but ordinary.

Despite their tough, intimidating exteriors, the students of Cromartie High School are a lovable bunch who are constantly getting into hilarious and absurd situations. Whether they are trying to impress a girl, save the school from aliens, or simply survive a day without getting beat up by the school's resident tough guy, Mechazawa, the students are always up for a challenge.

The humor in Cromartie High School is both slapstick and surreal, with jokes ranging from the absurd (such as a talking frog who serves as the school's principal) to the subtle (such as a character who speaks in a monotone voice, making even the most mundane statements sound hilarious). The pacing of the show is fast and frenetic, with each episode featuring a series of short, self-contained sketches rather than a traditional narrative structure.

Although the show is primarily a comedy, there are moments of genuine heart and emotion scattered throughout. The friendship between Takashi and his fellow delinquents is both touching and genuine, and the characters' struggles with loneliness, self-doubt, and their own identities are handled with sensitivity and depth.

The animation style of Cromartie High School is unique and distinctive, with characters rendered in a simple, minimalist style that allows for maximum comedic effect. The color palette is bright and vibrant, with each character's distinct design making them instantly recognizable.

The voice acting in the series is top-notch, with a talented cast of veteran voice actors bringing the quirky characters to life. Takahiro Sakurai does an excellent job as Takashi, bringing both humor and heart to the role. Megumi Hayashibara, Mika Kanai, and Norio Wakamoto also deliver standout performances as some of the show's most memorable characters.

Overall, Cromartie High School is a hilarious, heartwarming comedy that is perfect for anyone looking for something a little offbeat and unconventional. With its absurd humor, lovable characters, and unique storytelling style, it's a show that is sure to put a smile on your face.

Cromartie High School is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (27 episodes). The series first aired on March 25, 2004.
