Nope, I don't think I can explain what it's about. Other than the fact that the main character gets sent to a school that is known to have the 'baddest of the bad' students going to it. But they are more weird than bad. It's a very odd anime. If you like Bo-bobo, you'll probably...well...no, I don't know if you'd like Cromartie or not but at least you'd have an idea what to expect.

It is weird.

Not as zany weird as Excel Saga. Or fanboyishly weird as MSA Abenobashi. Or just plain stupid weird like Bo-bobo. Weird enough that I still haven't finished watching it, the DVDs are still sitting in front of my DVD player, staring at me for over two months now.

From the episodes I saw, It's Bad Ass punk type guys who feel as if they're into things like Flower Arrangements and Tea Ceremony. Suffice it to say, ODD

it has that unpredictable way of going from normal to wierd to normal again like Bobobo without skipping a beat, not so much like FLCL where everything goes berserk and random, and they usually explain things alot, such as reintroducing themeselves and whats going on around them. plus the guy with the purple mohock's hair is always swishing, even when he's inside sitting still.

when i frst heard about it, i thought it was some hard drama, but i was completely wrong on that.

Cromartie High is directed by the same guy who did the original Di Gi Charat and Leave it to Piyoko (Not sure if he did Di Gi Charat Nyo) so a LOT of the same stuff is found in all of these. In fact, Dijiko, Puchiko, and Piyoko make guest appearences throughout Cromartie High. Wierd blob creatures, strange camera effects, and just bizarre random things seem to be the directors style. In the Di Gi Charat DVD, they have a commentary by the producers and Koge Donbo (creator of Di Gi Charat) and they comment on the directors just odd style.

So if you've seen Di Gi Charat (not Panyo, might I add), you'll already have a taste of what is to come in over all wierdness in Cromatrie High. It can be reversed as well.

Cromartie High School is about a rather normal male student who goes to the school for deliquents. It is a comedy spoof of all of the tough guy anime series out there.

The world filled with badasses and bad ass wannabes, their culture and the politics of being a bad ass is poked fun at.

It is a bit bizarre at times and it is proud of its strangeness. Among the students there is a tin can robot named Mechazawa, a Gorillia, and a shirtless man who is not Japanese at all. He looks like the late "Queen" rocker Freddie Mercury... and they call him Freddie.

It is not Excel Saga or Dragon Half. It is not cracky as some other anime are, but I found it pretty funny. The characters are pretty serious and true to their personalities, but they get put in these situations that are so off the wall. You'll either love it or hate it right out the gate....
