Sunao Konoe has transferred to a new school. Dreaming of being an actor all her life, she is trying to form a new theater/drama club there. But she runs into all kinds of problems, most notably with the arrogant "princess" Kiriya Erika who's a rich family's daughter and undisputed head of the school council (and would have to give her the license to form a new club) and her bunch of friends, plus the "kendo girl" Kurogane Otome who's the discipline enforcer of the school council. And to her surprise Sunao meets her childhood friend Tsushima Leo at this school again who had been the only one to support her with her theater project at school ten years ago while at the same time nicknaming her "radish" (which has a side meaning of "bad actor")... but Sunao is a dedicated girl and will do whatever it takes to form her theater club, with Otome soon beginning to support her. And slowly but surely she earns the respect of those who considered her a mere theater freak at first...

[TV series, 2006, 12 episodes, based on a PS2 game by Princess Soft; animation by Studio Hibari & Trinet Entertainment; fansub started by AnimeU and Serin, then YaMom took over from episode 4 on; the image shows three side characters of the "princess" followers: Kanisawa Kinu (blonde hair), Kurogane Otome (blue hair), and Yashi Nagomi (black hair)]

  • Drama: Med (the final episodes provide even some depressing scenes)
  • Comedy: High (that's what this show is about: Everything can happen!)
  • Action: Low (mostly ruckus, no really competitive fights)
  • SciFi: Low (some superhuman abilities but nothing important)
  • Ecchi: Med (lots of nude loli skin, some yuri fanservice, and lots of oddly shaped daikons)
Starting with an ambitious female transfer student moving to another school and trying to blend in there but pursue her dream at the same time, the first half of this series is a chaotic high-speed school rivalry comedy full of silly ruckus with a strong focus on fanservice (mostly boobs and pantsu shots, but some almost-nude shots of very young girls as well) and very little Story. As such, with all the forced ecchiness, it gets certain downgrades in the relevant categories from me.
Then, slowly but surely the series turns into an interesting, shy romance story with an unusual twist and an exceptionally strong side character - Kurogane Otome, being the cousin of the lead boy and becoming a very good friend of the lead girl. She's the light shining throughout this story, providing a lot of fun and action as well as support for her friends but intolerance against unnecessary weaknesses. Compared to her both leads aren't that interesting, which is a pity. Although there is an awfully large staff of other side Characters, they all fit nicely into this story.
From episode 6 on the childhood friends Sunao and Tsushima become the focus of the story, and we now switch to a kind of harem story - being told by one of the girls involved! We get our fair share of drama here (even though it's that kind of "mountains out of molehills" drama). And the final episodes are everything I could ask for: Touching as well as hilarious, with a number of great surprises, most of which had my laughing out loud! And you'll see how finally all those side characters are necessary to make this series what it is - a story about friendship and "being frank".

In the end this anime turned out to be neither a serious drama nor a great romance, but one of the best anime teenager comedies I've seen to date. And I guess those who are more likely the target group than me will give this series even higher ratings.
A more serious and less ecchi version of the main heroine's story can be found in Clannad (TV).
