Cromartie High School
Created by Eiji Nonaka
On TV Tokyo
A absurdist comedy anime that gleefully parodies delinquent-school tropes through surreal logic and irreverent humor, sustained across 26 episodes of escalating weirdness.
Folks, meet Takashi Kamiyama. Enrolled at Cromartie High, where everybody is a delinquent, Kamiyama is apparently the only non-delinquent in the school. Logically, therefore, he must be the toughest in his class—by the rather twisted logic that only a really tough rabbit would lie down with lions. Thus begins a story that parodies every cliché of tough-guy anime that you've ever heard of, and some you haven't. Oh, and Freddie Mercury is in it, too.
