My impressions and review:

It’s been hectic for me so I took a break and started swifting through my huge backlog again. I had been watching Gakuen Alice when it first aired a very long time ago but I quickly moved on to other shows that were infinitely more appealing.

Rather than rant on the shortcomings of Gakuen Alice I’ll just keep it short and say that this show is extremely simple-minded. It’s not really the kind of anime I like so I don’t know what the hell I was thinking when I started watching it. It had a sort of “kids get abducted to a secret school funded by the government where they use their special powers for the good of man kind” kind of vibe, but then it just becomes dry kiddie comedy.

If you like simple anime with not much to think about with quirky loli characters, this might be your thing, but for those craving a decent magical girl comedy should stay away.
