Aroview: The zany and hilarious episodes in the life of a teenage boy who ends up at a rough public school, peopled by an array of thugs, robots, a gorilla and a Freddie Mercury lookalike.

Adaptated from the 'manga' comic by Eiji Nonaka, this enjoys huge popularity in Japan, and seems poised to catch on in the West with its dead-on American voicetrack.
A must for fans of irreverent youth satire ala "Beavis & Butthead", "South Park", and traditional Anime fans alike.
