First episode and it was already funny. It was a high school club doing odd jobs and I can't help but compare it to Gintama because Sugibro was also voicing a character in this one. But I hope as it goes on, the anime will stand on its own unique way.

Episode Context

SKET Dance kicks off with a high-energy introduction to the SKET Brigade, a quirky school club dedicated to helping anyone who walks through their door. The premiere wastes no time establishing its comedic identity, expect rapid-fire banter, exaggerated reactions, and a warm undercurrent of friendship tying everything together. Bossun's passionate but scatterbrained leadership clashes perfectly with Himeko's blunt toughness and Switch's deadpan computer-voiced commentary, creating a trio with immediate chemistry. The pacing is brisk, bouncing between gags and character moments without lingering too long on either. Tonally, this sits in classic school comedy territory with a heart, think less romantic comedy, more buddy comedy with a genuine desire to help people. It's a confident opener that prioritizes making you like these characters before anything else, and it largely succeeds through sheer enthusiasm.
