[Anime] Prison School

With only one day 'till release, I get more and more scared that it will be a lame adaptation. I know it'll be 90% tits and Meiko's ass (hopefully) but pls dont forget the comedy

EDIT: NO. IT'S CENSORED. IT'S BADLY CENSORED. dude. what even is the point of watching 24 minutes of white bars? :/

Hana is bae in the anime still
Kinda funny faces
NIGGA why the fuck did they put some unesscary ass censorship showed the vice's panty but not the girl who are stretching camel toe it made me think they are just fucking with us.

Ep. 1

While I enjoyed the voice acting and seeing all the ridiculous faces of the first couple of chapters of the manga being animated, I can't hardly get over the amount of censorship in an adaptation of something where ecchi is one of the main components. I can only fear how they've "adapted" scenes like Mari and Meiko's shower time,Kyoshi geting an underskirt view of Meiko's Hindu squatting or almost anything to do with the chairman.

That being said, if the next 2 episodes are like this, I'll be dropping it and waiting for the BDs.

Seconded, how can you censor a core element of the damn series?

Yeah, Censorship is annoying but even with it I can still enjoy the comedy. So I still going to watch.

Won't watch except probably one particular episode. Blu Ray awaits.

Actually fuck that, episode 1 was fucking hilarious. Hana is love, and she will deliver. Feeling genuinely excited about

Can't wait for those BDs.

I'm watching this show still regardless for 2 reasons:

The charatcters, and the Comedy.

Still would be nice to re-watch without the misty white shapes of doom.

I dont get why most ecchi get away with the panty shots but not prison school. Anyway, it was rushed as fuck but the it was still enjoyable enough that I'll keep watching for now

So there was this person on the ANN forums who posted a long essay about Prison School which I frankly find to be kind of offensive:

I think the show Prison School is better than some folks are giving it credit. It is definitely completely perverse, but I think actually surprisingly empathetic if you're willing to, well, be empathetic towards perversity. I'm basing my defense of three things:

1) Knowing adolescents,

2) Knowing grown men who are single and sad about it,

3) Knowing most of Louis C.K.'s standup, with specific reference to episode 2:8 ("Come On, God") of Louie, as well as the last ten minutes of his stand-up routine Louis CK: Live at the Beacon Theater.

Based on all those things, I think that a lot of men are "perverse" insomuch as they think about sex on a pretty frequent basis, in a manner that is often divorced from their opinion on the woman herself - as Louis CK says, there's this dichotomy in the minds of many men between a general and common desire for objectified "pussy", versus their personal interaction with an individual woman. For someone like Louis CK, this is a source of guilt - he wishes that he could have a normal interaction with a woman without thinking perverse stuff. I've actually heard that from men completely independent of the show, too.

Now, on top of that, you have a sense among a lot of adolescent boys and single men of aggrievement, like their sexuality is being repressed by women insomuch as women don't want to sleep with them and are repulsed by the perversions. This sexual frustration is an important source of the men's rights movement that seems to be rearing its head nowadays.

I think the characters in the show are caught between these emotional territories. The sense of grievance adolescent boys feel for the denial of their libido is expressed literally in their imprisonment. But at the same time, in the main character, I think there's a really clear sense of shame that pervades his entirety, that he knows this perversion is poisonous to his normal treatment of women, that he wishes he could wish that perversion away. The perversity of the men in the show is genuine, not cynical, just like the aversion the women feel towards it is also completely legitimate.

In scenes like the Go game between the four girls, the women discuss how gross guys are, as prompted by an absurd situation. But the discussion itself is legitimate - the two sides, that these men are sick and that these men aren't irredeemably terrible - are both true, and the show is open to displaying both sides. The perversity of guys is a really crappy thing to have to deal with on a frequent basis, and deserves punishment in many real world circumstances (train groping, all that terrible terrible stuff in India), but often punishments go unhanded. So a show where guys get beat up for objectifying women? Totally legitimate to me. On the other hand, though there are plenty of good guys even though they also frequently think about sex just for sex. That strikes me as really honest too.

So no matter how terrible the student body and the four other guys may be, scenes like these show how the show sees a legitimate origin in the nature of both sides, and even nuance within the genders.

So to me, the show was really funny, because it was a really raw and absurdist expression of something I've seen and heard before, of the raw stupidity of male sexuality, and how men and women end up dealing with it.

Okay, so it's true then huh? My sex drive is a toxic and dehumanising thing, the joy I feel whenever I read manga on FAKKU is just my inner rapist being teased, women have all the right to punish me for it, and the very fact that I feel offended by this essay is proof that I'm a perverted freak who doesn't view women as human beings.

I mean here I thought that sexuality was a beautiful thing that makes us human and that it was healthy to be honest and positive about it. But no, I should just be ashamed of myself, and so should anime critic Rebecca Silverman who deemed the characters in this anime to be negative stereotypes. Because as we all know there's no difference between sex appeal and sexism. Objectification is just another word for erection.

Fuck my life.

So I caved and watched the first ep of Prison School; The trial version. As expected the manga just felt like a better read but this was OK. Still may put it on hold to watch it in bulk and of course the lack of censorship.

And here I was thinking Prison school had no stereotypes. I mean, where's the pigtailed tsundere?
I love this series but the sole thing driving the whole story is sexuality. Whether it's a positive thing or not I don't know, but i enjoy it.

Prison School's premise is not something new for anime: boys attend a school that used to be exclusively for girls, awkwardness ensues. It's just that in Prison School the boys interest in girls is portrayed as a violent perversion, and the girls are portrayed as anti-sex fascists. To Rebecca, who is a teacher, that wasn't funny.

It's not that I'm offended by the show itself, I'm offended by that persons comment about it. It pretty much translates to: men are pigs and women should punish them for it. I don't know about you but to me that's a very toxic message about gender and sex.

As for the show itself, it's out to shock you and nothing else. In fact it was created out of spite. The mangaka had previously done a very ambitious biographical manga. I don't know if it was good or not but either way it wasn't well-received and didn't sell much. Thus Prison School was created. If you enjoy it that's fine but I don't think it's that funny. It just takes one of the unfunniest jokes in the ecchi genre (boy gets punished after doing something dirty) and turns it into the entire show.

Currently watching ep.2

That first conveniently placed white censor... I had to check the original to remember what there was to censor:



EDIT: Can't handle all those Hana moments.
First two episodes covered 12 chapters of the manga. By that logic we should see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in episode 12.

That gives me a different perspective on the show. As for that message, definitely gives the wrong impression about genders. I dont know why people would start picking on Prison School when all it does is offer the same ecchi cliches but with better art and more interesting characters.

Ep. 3

>MFW Hindu squat and Gakuto pulling down Mari's skirt animated



>MFW Kyoshi taking a stiletto to the rear and Gakuto shitting himself in computer class animated



In all honesty though, even though the censorship skill irks me a bit, I'll be running the course with this because the comedy's worth it.

Best part was when
It's awesome how they havent screwed up any of the funniest moments so far, so I'm gonna have to stick around.
The series gets even more points for how they did the way the headmaster speaks

lol yeah. The comedy portion of that show really shines when animated. Kinda compensates for the overboard censoring.



So good.

THE HORROR, MY GOD THE HORROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

Skimmed through the latest manga chapter and saw this at the end:



September 30th can't come soon enough.

I really feel Kana's voice is a bad match for Hana. I felt that way at the beggining and thought I'd grow to like it but I don't know... It's like Kana's voice doesn't suit Hana's personality, especially whenever she tries to be intimidating.
