Girl's High? Opinions?

My question is whether females are interested in the same kind of things about guys?

But anyways, I guess that's enough bashing on this show, I might as well talk about it a little too.

What did people think about the scene where the girl was scarfing down rice with a raw egg and soy sauce in the train? I thought it was funny. Do people in Japan really do that? I also thought it was funny that she had a whole soy sauce bottle with her. Probably she should have had a soy sauce packet or something instead.

I've seen lots of people eat similar things, like rice mixed with semi-raw egg and soy sauce, or boiled/fried eggs with soy sauce on top...but never quite the same thing that girl ate. It was funny.

The point is that I expected a really riske look at some serious issues that girls actually face while going through puberty.

Should I use pads or tampons?
How can I deal with harsh menstrul cramps?
Why are my breasts different then other girls?
Should I start shaving my genitals?
Is my vagina normal looking?
Is my body weight okay? Or should I diet?
What is my sexuality, and why the sudden influx of hormones?

While a lot of these subjects were touched on, it felt to me like it was very superficial, and a fetishy peek into the feminin world designed for guys, because guys want to think about these sorts of things about girls.
Which is understandable, as it is, when you come down to it, an ecchi fanservice show made for a male audiance. I guess I was just dissapointed as to its lack of actually delving into these issues instead of just mentioning them in passing.

Does anyone know what the manga is like in comparison? Iv heard the anime is really toned down.

What gave you the idea that this show was serious about anything?

These are no proper young ladies, and restraint is the furthest thing from their, or the creators', minds. Discussions cover subjects like menstruation, personal differences in vaginas, and getting rid of pesky things like, say, one's virginity. Not only are the girls curious about what a naked guy looks like, but they're fully willing to forcefully strip one to find out. They participate in well-known (Japanese) high-school staples like sports day, physical exams and dating parties, but also have to deal with camera-toting perverts, urinalysis tests and date rape. There's an edge of realism to the simple frankness with which the girls, and the show as whole, deal with subjects and events that would normally be taboo or treated as momentous dramatic happenings that is very appealing.

And as a guy, can I still appreciate it?

I can make better music than all the music in this show by hitting random notes on a keyboard and making farting noises at the same time.

I checked out this show because the ANN review made it sound like some kind of girl-school version of PING PONG CLUB, and I too was disappointed that it wasn't as raunchy as the review led me to believe it was. Still I found it entertaining and funny enough, and since it's a short series I'll probably be getting all of it. The ED was pretty cool--I love it when anime characters dance.

I watched just the first episode of this on a Newtype sampler disc. It's kind of funny to see you guys asking if 'guys will enjoy this'... as a female, I can tell you this was NOT made with a female audience in mind!!! I was actually pretty disgusted with most of it (the panty-showing skirt chops, the pile of pubic hair in the swin club room, the lesbian oral innuendo, and so on.) Based on what you guys are saying happens later on, it doesn't improve (I know I personally have never been involved in, or overheard, a conversation about differences between vaginas.)
