Released on September 20, 2022 courtesy of Sentai Filmworks, we have this delightfully obscene film continuance of the riotously raunchy anime series based on a 4-koma manga (a 4-panel gag comic not unlike ones you would see in our newspapers in the US) like Nichijou or Azumanga Diaoh. Seitokau Yakuindomo is very much like those two series as well in that the episodes were largely composed of loosely connected, highly episodic sketches with little to no continuity. The key difference with this one is that it’s much more pervy than either Nichijou or Azumanga Diaoh with the characters randomly making references to strap-ons, masturbating and other vulgar topics packaged as nonchalant throwaway lines.

The setting (since there isn’t really much of a plot) takes place at an all-girls high school recently made co-ed, leaving the vast majority of the student body still predominantly female with a few males scattered around, mostly in the freshman classes. Does that have a lot of bearing on character motivations or plot development? Not really. The set-up is mainly an excuse to have lots of cute girls hanging around with perhaps the all-girl school angle explaining why they speak more frankly and openly about sex than they might otherwise if there were lots of guys hanging around. Into this fray is male student Takatoshi Tsuda, who is quickly recruited as vice president of the student council somewhat against his will to assist in the transition to a co-ed learning environment.

So that’s the background of this silly, saucy show. What is this second movie about exactly? Well, it’s really more of the same, composed primarily of vignettes with no overarching narrative. We see Takatoshi get his hand glued together with the female head of the anti-obscenity committee. The student council films a movie that essentially comprises the set-up of the TV series. The council is forced into making the late night rounds of the school after their teacher gets too drunk to do it. They put together an audio drama that inadvertently reflects the feelings of the actors involved. The student council president comes up with the idea of introducing a new mascot, and Takatoshi promptly gets trapped inside the mascot suit when the zipper gets stuck. You get the idea, right? Amidst all of this, we are bombarded with wacky non-sequiturs, stupid puns, rude sex toy jokes and all other manner of silliness that neither contributes to the plot nor develops the characters in any meaningful way. And you know what? That’s totally fine. Sometimes you just need a goofy blast of nonsense to lighten your day, and this movie (and the accompanying series that preceded it) delivers. I found myself laughing quite a bit at the grossness and stupidity. Oddly enough, the director of Seitokai Yakuindomo, Hiromichi Kanazawa, has directed primarily more serious, action-oriented series like K, Coppelion and W’z, so I have to wonder if Seitokai Yakuindomo was a kind of venting of pent-up shenanigans for him…

On the tech specs side, video and audio are clean with nothing in particular standing out as needing improvement in any major way. It’s a recent movie, and required no fancy restoration of the elements, so I’m sure the transfer proved to be no problem for Sentai to release. As far as extras go though, all you get is a Clean Opening Animation and that is it (plus some trailers).

Overall, I liked this fun, daffy flick, and frankly you don’t even have to watch the prior series to follow along with what’s happening given that it’s all episodic vignettes and you get a sense of the characters pretty quickly. Just be advised that it is rated TV-MA for a reason, so you know, don’t watch it around kids probably. Unless you don’t care about bad parenting, in which case, have at it.
