Do you recommend it? Yes

well i promised myself after i finished it i'd write a review so here we go, sicne i jsut finished.

Gakko Ja Oshierarenai definately introduced me to some actors/actresses that in the future i shall be sure to keep an eye on because they caught my interest.

Basic Story, we have an all girls school, to increase it's prestige and image, and also its enrollment, they open their doors to boys after a long run as an all-girls school. At the start, only 5 boys end up enrolling, and boy are they excited. Any guy would, 500 cute asian scholgirls in their seifukus, they figure they've gotta have a chance with at least one girl among the 500 who are there. A new rule also happens to be implemented in which every student is required to join a club. Their homeroom teacher, figuring they wouldn't know enough about clubs or would know what to join, invited them to join a club she is starting up, along with 5 other girls. turns out this teacher has arranged the essentially 10 outcasts, the only 5 guys in the entire school, and 5 social outcasts with problems of their own. The club turns out to be a social dance club, and as such partners are picked after introducing themselves to the other members. Over the course of the drama, you find out why each character does not seem to fit in well. Albeit cliche, the development of the drama becoems somewaht expected and predictable.

The story, i kinda liked it, but it wasn't exactly as amazing as it could have been, it was a bit simplistic, but nevertheless feelgood and somewaht enjoyable.
The cast, i honeslty hadn't really heard of many people on the cast, but after seeing this, i wondered why i hadn't heard of them yet, especially Fukuda Kyoko. There wasn't really much musically to speak of, the emphasis was elsewhere.

don't be fooled by my scores for it either, i gave the music low scores only because i really didn't see much music to really get into, the story and acting were quite decent. tihs just isn't a standout drama for its season, but a nice watch regardless
