Synopsis:
The series, which is also called Hekiyō Gakuen Seito-kaigi Jiroku(The Records of the Hekiyō Academy Student Council’s Activities),revolves around a private high school whose student council is chosen entirely by popularity vote. Because of this, Ken Sugisaki is the only male representative, in the otherwise all bishōjo student council, that may enter the “sacred sanctuary” of the council’s meeting room. At the behest of Council President Kurimu Sakurano (pictured at right),Sugisaki records the minutes of the council meetings, which devolve into daily conversations about the students’ lives and interests.

Plot:
Seitokai no Ichizon is an absolute blast to watch. If you're looking for a series that will make you laugh and reminiscence about past shows you've watched then look no further. Seitokai no Ichizon holds a straight flush hand of genres: Comedy, ecchi, harem, school, and parody, and they play this hand very well. As you can see in the picture above, Seitokai no Ichizon as a series has fearlessly released several episodes where they have danced along the lines of copyright infringement. Very few series have ever come as close to copy infringement as the Seitokai has and the fans absolutely love it. For casual anime fans watching anime to pass time, they will find themselves laughing through each episode. On the other side where we have the more serious anime otakus, they will be delightfully entertained by how daring the series is. The plot consists of the typical scenes from any comedy/harem anime. You should expect the usual teasing, dirty humor, and slow progress between the protagonists and the girls. Although it may sound like any other unoriginal harem series, Seitokai no Ichizon actually pushes to be as unoriginal as possible to the point where characters have gone out of their way to mention old overdone anime themes. This is truly what separates the series from others and it is what makes it so enjoyable to watch.
Plot: 3.5/5
Hilarious comedy and parodies that heavily caters to seasoned anime fans. However, it remains to be just "decent" rather than "Outstanding".
Cast:
Character design and development. Ah yes one of the greatest things about anime, their memorable characters. The studios certainly had a fun-time playing around with the character designs. For one they weren't pressured to create extremely unique and charismatic characters. Instead they must have been strongly encouraged to create the stereotypical designs and personalities for the Seitokai. You have the Moe girl, chibi loli, strong girl, the tsundere, and the perverted male haha. Each of these characters do not hide or cover up their true-to-heart personalities at all. Instead they let it all out, showing the usual interactions between those types of characters, except it is done in fine quality. Especially the male character, haha; sometimes I feel ashamed of having to watch the pathetic male protagonist, but this guy is strong, funny, VERY blatant about his love interests, and he certainly does not fall victim to the usual weak mentality like other male protagonists. As a result this causes very mixed feelings with otakus who take a real close look at anime. Typical cliche character designs are being used, yet its very well-done so it doesn't ruin the show.
Cast: 3.5/5
Very Creative use of cliche personalities. It was well done and given a finishing touch with their own unique traits
Production:
In this show in particular the style of the artwork and animation is quite often overlooked or in other words, forgiven. The reason for this is because the viewers have so much fun watching the cast poke fun at old popular shows and remembering how much they enjoyed the classic harem personalities. However, style is the Seitokai's weakest point =(. Although yes they probably wouldn't have been able to the pull off the classic harem genre and the typical cast design without a revolutionary way of directing; the fact remains that the way the series was animated and drawn out is very old-fashioned. When it comes to style, series like Bakemonogatari are simply bombshells of new style. The Seitokai lacks most in this area, but it probably was for the best.
Production: 2/5
The only major downside of this series is the typical Production work put into it. It would certainly benefit from creative directing and animating.
The Conclusion: 3/5
I believe that Seitokai no Ichizon is a series that officially (fans determined this years ago) marks the end of the classic plotlines, character designs, animations, and that it is now the time for some fresh ideas.
