B Gata H Kei: Yamada's First Time Complete Series (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Yamada is a romantically naive and sex obsessed high school girl determined to sleep with a hundred guys before college. Intimidated by experienced guys she decides to lose her virginity with another virgin and after running into Takashi at a bookstore she is sure she has found the man for the job. Now if she could only overcome her overwhelming insecurities she might actually achieve her lecherous goal.Initially disinterested due to the show's premise I decided to give it a chance when I saw it was available on Netflix. While I know men and women that have slept with numerous partners I have never met anyone that had intended or wanted to do so which is why I found the premise a little unbelievable, but after watching a few episodes my opinion changed. The show doesn't focus of Yamada sleeping around with numerous guys instead it focuses on her naivete, insecurities and attempts to lose her virginity.The animation is top notch, the characters are entertaining, the story is absolutely hilarious and the English dub is excellent! If you dislike crass or crude humor this show is probably not for you, but if you enjoy sex comedies you will most likely love it. This is not to say the show is explicit just the opposite it's the cleanest sex comedy I've ever seen I'm just saying it may not be for everyone!Be warned this anime contains very suggestive themes and a small amount of fan service so it is not suitable for children! Fan service involves bouncing breasts, skimpy bikinis, revealing clothing, glimpses of panties and brief nudity.

When I first saw B Gata H Kei listed, I thought that it was another dumb perverted story. After hearing great comments, I decided to watch it. And it was totally worth it. This is a comedic series about teens' sexual anxiety. Despite having sexual references and panty shots, this is a good anime with an entertaining and feel good story, nice characters and subtle life lessons.I am very critical about series with sexual situations because they tend to have dumb stories and cliche characters, but B Gata H Kei brings a refreshing take on the genre. Though, I would classify this series as a romantic comedy. I give five stars because I had a blast watching it. Don't miss out this very good and rewarding series. This is the kind of series I want Funimation to keep bringing and dubbing.

This is a favorite of mine that I have neglected reviewing based on how hard to classify it is. The story begins with Yamada pledging to have sex with a hundred boys before the end of her first year -- only problem is she is a virgin and wants her first time to be with another virgin. So begins the tale of her setting out to seduce what she believes will be the easiest target. On one hand, this story is about sex. The H in the Japanese title stands for hentai or perverted. That said, this is not a porno. Instead it's a witty, tongue in cheek story about teenage sex with a strong moral underlying the light-hearted premise. Yamada has no idea what she is in for as her over-the-top expectations collide hardcore with reality. This anime dub is hilarious. Take Japanese situational comedy, layer it on top with a double-entendre-filled English translation, delivered by funny voice actors, portraying characters that are as naive as they are lifelike and you get humor on many different levels. I'm glad this is one of the earlier animes I watched and I'm glad it surprised me so much. There is fan service, though most is for the sake of humor, and almost no nudity until the very end.

I assumed by the steep price that this digital version would have both the English and Japanese audio. I failed to read the details and got screwed over-DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE. I can't return this version and basically just threw away 30 dollars. :/

The first episode was hilarious to me. A lot of sexual humor. But it kinda slowed down after a few episodes. It starts to get a little boring.**Spoilers** **If you havent seen the show yet, you may want to skip the 2nd paragraph!**Its the same thing over and over again... the guy and the girl have a lot chances together, but neither of them can ever express the way they feel and they manage to blow every single opportunity they have. And whenever Kosuda finally gets the courage to express anything to Yamada, she screams at him or flips out. I guess this is suppose to be part of the humor of the show, the fact that they never actually accomplish anything, but for me its actually frustrating. Towards the end of the series, they get close to accomplishing their goal many times, but in the end... it never happens!! Very close but no cigar! I can't believe the show ended like that. I actually went online to check for a second season but it seems this is it. Not that I would wanna go through another full season of watching these two try to have sex! I guess I would have been more satisfied if he banged the hell outta her, but hey, this isnt hentai or anything.**spoilers over**All in all, its still entertaining. So I still gave it 4 stars. The show is very sexual in nature but at the same time nothing too graphic. At the end of the series you see Yamada's breasts but thats about it. This show does make me think back old middle school and high school days. The days of innocence and inexperience with the opposite sex. Awkward and funny stuff. Its a short 12-episode series so I think its worth checking out if the premise sounds interesting to you... A popular girl starting high school with a dream of banging 100 guys, and all the trials and tribulations that come along with just trying to achieve that first time.
