Except not funny.

Now the obvious comparison comes in both the art style and the setting a school club and its attempt to parody anime as a whole and if you're looking for that you're it luck Seitokai No Ichizon has a second season coming out this month as well so you dont have to watch this...

Now I know its not exactly fair to judge an anime based on less then half of what will be its total episode count but still Seitokai No Ichizon had me laughing with the first episode I've given this one 3 times that and gotten little in return.

Now this anime also borrows tropes from another anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The president of the group is pretty much insane and constantly sexually harasses and dresses up the moe character in the group in reveling clothing though it gets a bit more extreme here.

And as this is the more annoying brand of moe characters I've seen you probably arent even going to feel sorry for her.

And theres also a girl with a robotic personality.

But thats not a point worth complaining about in a parody anime its suppose to copy things in order to mock them. The problems when it doesn't bother with the second part. Its much more of a "me too" rehash then a parody, and seems to be there mostly as a way to cram fan service in.

That and the panty shots, the constant ones -.-*

The club president crazy demands are not even resisted sometimes club members actually help her abuse the moe character. There is one character who steps in from time to time buts its after the damage has been done for the most part.

Also this is a harem so I should bring up the male...

Hes forced to cross dress ,another demand from the president that is given into fully, and is given a young appearance.

Yes this is one of those "we made it look like a child but hes technically this age" so if Kanokon made you uncomfortable this could end up doing the same though they havent went there from what I've seen.

For me personally this is a 2 star but I decided to be a bit objective and say that if you like fan service it could be a 3. I might redo this once I've seen a bit more if I bother to finish it.

Alright firstly, before any confusion is to be had Noya is not really the main character. I think Noya was in the source, but really you can't say that about this anime. Second, this is a show that manages to turn an altogether silly plot into something more serious. Things that seemed ridiculous and out of place turn out to be key points to the plot. Cause this show does actually have a plot. It just gets lampshaded by all the fanservice/comedy. It's always there though. Once you get to a certain episode that's when things start to really come to light. Still, this is not what one would call 'serious', but at the same time it's made out to be serious. And it works oddly enough.

The characters play off each other really well, and you'll see lots of things which will make you go X_x, but at the same time it just fits. I've seen lots of people talk about how Kyouko's abuse of Kanamori is cruel and everything, but it's moreso just a part of how they interact with each other, and show their care for each other. Kyouko never takes it too far, and it's made known that Kyouko would stop if Kanamori actually felt she was going too far. It's a bit hard to describe.

Like most of this show really, it's difficult to describe. Yet, it all just works somehow. My only real gripe with the show is that it's only 10 episodes, and ends at a point where a sequel is very much needed. But, fair warning, the show is QUITE ecchi. And pulls off ecchiservice stunts all over the place. CR's stream is also of the uncensored one, so that probably is something to take into consideration. There's no sex or anything that extreme though. And another warning, there is yuri and yuri service, a short yaoi tease I believe, and even something that could be taken as bestiality. If you can't stand to watch yuri/yuri-service, then this show really isn't for you, and make a pass on it.

One last thing, Astronomy is a huge focus of this show. Just felt it important to state this.

I dont' think I can say much more about this without going into spoilers, and I think spoiler-free reviews are important, so I'll stop with that.

So Ebiten what do I have to say about it. First of all I just adore the animation and characters. The comedy is amazing and there are many references to other animes a big one is dragon ball. The soundtrack is adequate its good at times. So why I like it is well because just look at their face that is grade A kawaii right there. My favorite character is Rikie because oh how cute she is and her love for small things (you will understand this eventually).Also I really enjoyed how the clubroom teacher oomori sensei had her own little love story in the mist of the insanity of the show also the second sensei oomori sensei neko (cat) version. The todayama sisters are just so cute I love them and each one is so different. Now the reason why I watched all 10 episodes of this show was because of Kyouko and Hakata interacted with each other aka Kyouko would strip down Hakata just for the fun of it. Now this show is good if you want something to laugh about of be a pervert Though story wise it has no story. They tried to make one but its so odd I just laughed at it. I think of it like a Fooly Cooly just a little newer. So with that I give this short anime a 5/5 just because it made me laugh so much. Hope this helped you and hope you watch Ebiten. So with that I Must say good bye see ya later

Ebiten is one of those works that doesn't really hint at what it's about until long after you've deeply immersed yourself in it. It presents its first half as a sort of litmus test for the more zany, off the wall plot which makes up its second half.

The Ebisugawa Astronomy Club (referred to as the "Agonizing Astronomy Club") is host to a ragtag group of weirdos who pretty much make it all up as they go. They are joined by a club advisor who cares more about her relationships than being a teacher, a cat who one member has a crush on (don't ask), and a student council president who holds a serious grudge against the club. Once the Astronomy Club VP's sister shows up to complete the cast, the plot starts to kick into high gear, and everything you think you know about the series gets turned on its head.

From start to finish, however, the series doesn't really take itself seriously. Each episode is a parody of another well-known work, and the jokes are all rather deadpan in their delivery. Episode 2 (which parodies Sailor Moon) is especially notable because the characters themselves get tired of the joke halfway through the episode. It's that lackluster level of delivery which gives the series a lot of its charm.

Visually, the series is rather well done, with the quality only dropping as demanded by the plot. This series uses a different ending theme for each episode, but BGM-wise nothing really stuck out at me during the actual show.

Ultimately, the series feels like a 24-episode dramedy condensed into ten episodes in the most haphazard way possible. And as someone who loves that style, I feel it works. If you aren't a fan of that type of work, then this series may not be for you. For those who are, it's quite the gem.
