Anime is an artform that really does come in shapes and sizes and as a result of that is the fact there is quite literally something for everyone. With the show that i'm going to taking a look at today being made very much for adult audiences with this review being based off of the really uncensored version of the shows first every episode and so then join me as I review the episode that really is so close to really being a very adult episode with the episode in question being called simply just "First Period" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is young student Ichiro Sato keeps on finding himself in embarrassing situations with his teacher Kana Kojima. Now the interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual poot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty person ally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty simple but delightfully so as it's pretty obvious from the shows set up that this show isn't going to have deep and complex plots to it and as a result of that is the fact that it would be foolish to expect this debut to have a deep thought provoking plot to it with the main plot of this episode mainly being used as an excuse to get both of the characters into some really embarrassing situations and just seeing what they do in those situations with the plot of this also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in y freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Maggie Flecknoe as Kana Kojima , Melody Spade as Mayu Matsukaze and Austin Tindle as Ichiro Sato and Andrew Love as Rin Suzuki. As you all can no doubt work this review of the show is being based off of the dubbed version of the show just because of the fact that it was just a lot more easier to watch the dubbed version of the episode then it was the subbed version of the episode with this dub being alot better then what it really had any right to be with the characters lips matching up almost perfectly with what they are saying and the fact that alot of this episodes actors are all really well cast and thus have voices that perfectly fit there respective characters all of which combine to give us a dub that on paper really shouldn't work as no one would blame if they chose not to give a show like this one a really good dub a dub actually somehow does infact really work and work out really well at that which is something that is sure to catch alot of anime really off guard as that's just hoe good the dubbing is in this episode.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us n this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty alot better then what it really had any right to be. As really nobody would have blamed the cast for this episode if they chose not to turn in a good performance for this episode given the genre that this show as this is a genre that doesn't really demand great or even good acting in it's episodes and yet that's exactly what we got in this episode as really all of the episodes cast members really do turn in some really good performances in this episode which really isn't all that surprising given that one of this episodes actors is an anime voice acting legend with the acting in this episode not really being helped by the episodes script as the script for this episode really doesn't give this episodes all that much to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which s something that really does effect the overall quality of the acting that's in this episode.
Doing the animation for this episode and for this show as a whole is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Tear Studio. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the animation being much like the acting in some respects as it's alot better then what it really had any right to be but at the same as well the animation in this episode isn't as good as it really could have been with alot of drawings in this episode coming across as being really flat at best with the animation in this episode also not being as highly detailed as the animation is in other ecchi shows and while yes the animation in this episode is indeed really good it also could have been alot better as while the animation on the female characters get alot of love and some really good animation the episodes male characters don't get any of that with there animation coming across as being rather dull to look at.
The characters in this episode do come across as being slightly entertaing and that's taking into account that not alot of the characters get alot of time to actually shine. Yet those that do like Kana Kojima and Ichiro Sato as Ichiro comes across as being the stereotypical teenager who just so happens to keep on getting up in all of these embarrassing situations where Kana Kojima comes across as the type of person who is willing to do whatever she wants to do and is willing to have a go ant anybody if it means that they change there life around for the better as she's a good person deep down where as the other two characters in this episode rather rightfully don't have alot of time to shone and as a result of that is the fact that it's hard to get a read on what it is there characters are like as they only appear on screen for a few seconds maybe a few minuets at the absolute which does make sense as there presence isn't really the main focus of the plot of this episode but at the same time given that this is the first episode of the show it would have made sense to give alot of this episodes at least some chance to get across what there characters are like as that would make it easier for us the audience to get to know these characters alot more then what we already do.
For those of you that don't know that this show is actually based off of the manga of the exact same name. With the manga itself being published from April 24th 2017 and are still being published in Weekly Young Magazine's Young Magazine KC imprint while it is hard to say if this episode is a good representation of the manga or if this anime does justice to the manga it is interesting to see that this series was in production whilst the manga was still being published as it makes you wonder where the story was going and it means that if this show did attract some new fans then they would most likely be more inclined to check out the manga as they'd want to see more of these character and they'd want to see where the plot of the series as a whole ultimately ends up going which is something that wouldn't be possible if the manga had ended when the show was being produced and while yes there are merits to doing the anime adaptation after the manga is finished as that does allow for a more faithful adaptation in this case it's something that really isn't needed as the episode itself is basically just a sketch comedy show and those don't have nor even need alot of continuity in order to just be funny and really fun to watch.
This episode is mostly set inside in the school which is a really bad idea as it makes the world of this show feel alot more smaller then it actually is. As all it does is make it look like that the only setting in this show is just the school and nothing more then that and while this episode basically just has two separate sketches and as a result of that is the fact that it would have been hard for the show to give us a new setting without stretching either sketch beyond breaking point it would have been nice if we got to see alot more of this world just because of the fact that it would then allow both Kana Kajima and Ichiro Sato the chance to get into some more comedic situations which is something that should have been the main reason for them to really feature more locations in this episode as this show is afterall a comedy and yet by limiting the amount of settings that we get to see in this episode it also has the effect of making this show look really cheap looking this is not helped by the fact that there only a handful of characters in this episode which really doesn't help with the fact that it makes this show come across as being really cheap to make.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running tie of exactly eleven minuets and thirty one seconds. Which is a bit on the short side for this episode to last as you very easily could have gotten this episode to at the very least fifteen minuets which would have bee very easy do as all you'd have to is just expand on the set ups for both of the segments as the episode have more then enough plot there to really cover a fifteen minuet running time it's also something that wouldn't really harm the episode as a whole either but what it would do is run the risk of making the shows only joke come across as being rather thin and drawn out but it would also the episodes side characters the chance to be more fleshed out characters and at least have more screen time and more to do which would in turn given them a chance to get across what those side characters are really like as people something which doesn't really get to happen in the final cut of the episode but I will admit that this episode really does gave some really good pacing to it tho.
So now then as this is comedy that means that I gave t actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us n this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad for the most part. As while the episode does have a really good joke it also has just that one joke and it's joke that does start to get old really fast as you no exactly what the punchline of the joke will be the second that the setup for that particular segment has been established and as a result of that is the fact that it then means that we the audience are then watching the Ichiro Sato play catch up to us the audience and get the punchline that we already know is coming and while it can be a funny punchline and while the episode does give some verity of that punchline of the teacher being there in some rather revealing clothing it's still not really enough to make this one joke seem fresh and funny every single time that they tell the exact same joke in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall while this is decent first episode it's also one that doesn't make you want to watch the over episodes in this show either as everything that you can expect to see in the rest of the series are all there in the first segment of this episode with next to nothing new added to them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Bow then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got ll of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Why The Hell Are You Here, Teacher!? fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode and are really of course up and on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
