It's sad to see Sket Dance end but knowing that it's Gintama that's taking over its time slot, I can't help to be happy! It would be perfect if it's Shirokuma cafe that has ended and we have Sket Dance and Gintama back to back. I was hoping that the last episode will be on the graduation of the third year students but sadly it's not. It turned out to be a series of small stories with the purpose of bringing out all the characters. Even though it felt a little rushed, it's a pretty heartwarming last episode. Story: (7/10) – Fairly Good At Kaimei High School, the Sket Dance was organized to help students with problems big or small. Most of the time, though, they hang out in their club room, bored, with only a few trivial problems floating in every once in a while. In spite of this, they still throw all their energy into solving the worries of their school mates.  Helping people in need is the motto of Sket Dance and also the running theme of the series. Sket Dance has many comedic moments and some touching stories. Not all the jokes are funny but there are some really funny ones. Character: (9/10) – Very Good Despite Sket Dance's school setting, it has an interesting cast of characters. My favorite characters: Switch - Ikemen otaku!! I love his stupid inventions! Bossun - He has a really cute personality! Tsubaki - He's also really cute, especially when he's angry! Agata - I felt sad when he retired from Student Council. I love his laid back nature! Katou - He looks damn cool!! It's sad that the anime has to end shortly after his introduction. Dante - GACKT!!!!!!!!  Art/Animation: (8/10) – Good The art and character designs are nice whereas the animation's just average. The animation did get better over time. Music: (8/10) – Good Some of the themes are nice but some are just average. My favorite song from Sket Dance is neither an Opening theme nor Ending theme. It's Dante's (JardiN's) song "Iki toshi ikeru subete ni tsugu". If you haven't heard it, listen to it here. Enjoyment: (9/10) – Very Good I enjoyed almost all the episodes. I personally really like the Sket Dance vs Student Council moments, GintamaXSket Dance, Roman's shoujo antics and Dante's (Gackt!!) visual kei antics. Overall: (8/10) – Good Initially, the tempo of the anime wasn't very good but it got better over time. It's a must watch for all who likes school life comedies.
