A superb short anime. I don't understand how it's rated so low.
This is a somewhat subtle comedy in the sense that if you miss a joke, you'll never know. Everything can be taken as 100% serious, so I suppose if someone is into the humor of The Three Stooges, this is not the show for them.
The show is of course not about Sakamoto, nor about perfect people. It is about the way we all react to those who we think are superior to us, from trying to put them down, through grupie admiration, and finally holding your own and finding the things in which you are actually better than those perfect cool-cooler-coolest folk.
I found the show to be uplifting, entertaining, compationate and deeply perceptive. But again, if you're looking for the roaring-up-in-laughter variety of humor, keep looking.
And, yes. Don't watch the OVA.
