Sakigake!! Cromartie High!

I bring this Anime up only becuase it features Freddie Mercury:



quote:
Although Mercury may have passed in the real world, he appears as a recurring character in the Japanese anime series Sakigake!! Cromartie High!. Wearing only long brown pants with red suspenders he is known to the main characters only as "Freddie". He does not speak despite moments of him singing (although his voice is not audible) and is sometimes seen riding around on a giant black horse. Some people wonder if he understands Japanese. He also is normally introduced by a harmonious guitar riff.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------

Residing as a student in Cromartie is truly, a most unexpected member of the student body. One of the big bad-asses, strongest delinquent, crushinating forces in the student body is, uhh, Freddie Mercury. As in "We Will Rock You Bohemian Rhapsody" Freddie Mercury. Armed with full mustache and trademark image of suspenders and a bare chest, Kamiyama immediately nicknames him Freddy, and wonders whether he truly is just another student, or if the rocker has risen from the grave just to attend Cromartie



????????????????????WTF????????????????????

Synoposis from ADV.

Produced by Production I.G. (Blue Seed, Ghost in the Shell) and TV Tokyo (Final Fantasy: Unlimited) and based on the wildly popular manga by Eiji Nonaka, Cromartie High School ventures forth into the deranged and wacked-out world of the infamous school for delinquents. Packed to the brim with crazy humor, pithy puns, political satire, and characters you’ll love to despise, Cromartie High School will leave your brain fried and your funny bone sore.

Poor Kamiyama! Somehow he has been enrolled in Cromartie High School, the infamous school for delinquents. When your classmates are the meanest, toughest (and often dumbest) students around, you do what you can to fit in. But when you add a 400-pound gorilla, a robot with an attitude, and a macho brute that bears a striking resemblance to a world famous celebrity, it makes blending much more difficult. So put on your best tough-guy swagger and get a lesson in insanity from the hilarious losers of Cromartie High.

The Anime is hilarious over the top comedy that you have to watch to believe the crazyness man buy it now!!!!! Freddie commands you and mechazawa does too.

i have seen one episode that came on the DVD included with my Newtype subscription. That particular episode didn't thrill me, but I do like the drawing. The character design is great!

I wish I had the Anime Network so I could watch more episodes and see if I could really like it or not.
