Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!
Oshimeter
Synopsis
By 2035, birth rates have tanked, schools are shutting down, and the students who remain have basically checked out emotionally. That's the world Manabi Straight drops you into, and then Manabi herself shows up, transferring into the all-girls Seioh Private High School on a futuristic scooter with enough energy to restart a dying planet. She's not brooding about the state of the world. She just wants school to be fun again. Within days, she's somehow become student council president alongside Mika, a soft-spoken girl who was running the whole council alone before Manabi arrived. Together they pull in a small crew of classmates, each with her own personality; and start trying to actually make things feel alive again, beginning with turning the student council room into something worth hanging out in. It's a 12-episode TV series from ufotable, and the animation has that warm, careful quality you'd expect from them even in their earlier work. The setting gives it a slightly different flavor than the usual school slice-of-life, but there's a quiet melancholy underneath the cheerful surface that keeps it from feeling empty. If you liked K-On! for its low-stakes hangout energy, or Azumanga Daioh for its character-driven comedy, this fits right alongside those. It's got that same CGDCT warmth, but the declining-birth-rate backdrop gives it a little more texture than you'd expect going in.

This was such a beautiful ending, it was a happy and at the same time a sad ending :((. The time skip here was actually a bold choice but man they made it work so well because it feels so meaningful. I tried my best not to cry but man this was really a tearjerker episode.
This is the festival ep that everyone has been waiting for. I liked how the festival isn't too big or too grand, it lets those small moments carry the weight instead. I am proud to see that Manami and her friends have grown much from the very first episode. I also appreciate the art style here, it has such a warm tone and is full of colors, I can even feel the joy in every scene and oh boy I loved it!
This was genuinely an amazing episode. The moment the clock tower was breaking down and taking the student council room with it was so intense, but holy moly when it brought the whole school together just had my jaw dropped. This is the episode that makes me feel so proud of how our cast has grown and how much they are willing to do just to save their school.
I really like the emotional rollercoaster in this episode. Momoha dressing up as a pirate and taking over the school broadcasting room was so FUNNYYY, and was also exciting at the same time! The grit and dedication these girls have were so surreal, I am so proud of them and I am genuinely rooting for their success.
Wow this was such a game changer episode, things got serious real quick here. Even I was shocked hearing about the school merger, what more so about the girls. I like how they steeled their resolve though and tried to fight for it. This episode got me hooked on, on how this crisis will play out.
This is actually quite a relatable episode as it does a good job showing that working hard over a long time can wear people down, especially those people that are cheerful and in councils. I can really feel how tired the group is and it made me understand how much they have already put in.
This was such a fun and light episode, I had a great time watching the characters here have a great time. I really love the late night outing between Mika and Mutsuki, this such a funny and heartwarming scene, because neither of them is doing what they said they would, typical kids hahaha.
I liked how this episode focused on the relationship between Mika and Mei especially without Manami around them. I like how Mika makes an effort to get closer to Mei, it was just simple and they let their relationship grow in a natural way.
