Koko wa Gurînuddo

This was one of the first anime titles that I saw, its got everything comedy, romance, action, as well as dealing with "normal" everyday things. There are many non normal things too(a guy that sleeps with his motorcycle (although not that bad if you ask me) a guy that looks and acts like a girl(eh what can you say) and a guy thats apart of a cult (one in every school ant there?)) Anyway when you get right down too it...this is a must for all anime fans

My friend introduced me to a lot of anime series, but this one really stood out. It's about a young boy who moves a dorm but the administration places him with 3 other slightly strange roommates. They gradually get to know and trust one another, and you learn about each one's story. I think they were in the high school/college age range. Each character has their own "special" quirk and problems they're trying to fix. It's a great drama/comedy that is funny and serious in the right spots. It might be too slow moving for some people but you just have to give it a chance. At the time, I didn't think I would enjoy it but I really liked this series. I wish there were more episodes.

I loved this anime, from the guy running the cult, to the one living with his motorcycle, this was one of the most entertaining animes I have seen. Anyone who doesn't have a quote, unquote normal sense of humor can really get into this anime.

This makes more sense if you read the Manga (Japanese comics to all you outsiders) first but not reading it won't ruin the madcap fun that this series holds. Every character is a world onto himself (or herself) and will capture you attention and your heart. And even though sometimes goes seems to do stuff that isn't what you'd expect (the show never got into magic and the supernatural and out of the blue they had a ghost episode) it's always entertaining and endearing. For great comedy/drama check out this great show.

Sometimes I think that the Greenwood series may actually be about me and my friends, it is quite eerie the similarities.

Anyway, you will definitely want to check this out. The first four episodes are rampant humour in the classic Koko wa Greenwood style, get to know Mitsuru, Shinobu, Shun, and poor old Hasugawa and watch their rampant antics. The last two episodes are one of the more moving anime love stories I have ever seen. And Hasugawa, the eternal loser, finally wins.

One of the best short Anime series ever. Go out and read the Manga!
