Best Student Council - Vol. 1: New Home and New Friends (DVD, 2007)

It turned out to be a rather enjoyable show and one that watching the first five episodes of in one sitting actually had me laughing during each of the episodes and wanting to get to the next one right afterwards. The general lack of a male presence, the good looking character designs and the fun that is Pucchan, the show works well and does exactly what it intends to. There is more to the show than it lets on at first here but what we get here at the start of the series is entertaining and very well done.

What better way to sell a show like this than to take a couple of the characters and have them in bathing suits? With Rino taking the lead and a couple of the other girls, they all look good here while showing some but not a ton of skin against a really nice looking blue background. Pucchan adds a nice bit of levity to it with his bathing suit as well as how they stuff him into the shows logo. The logo is a bit larger than I would have expected but it seems to fit the nature of the show. The back cover continues the blue theme and provide some additional character artwork as well as a few shots from the show. The summary does a good job of covering the basics of the premise and the features are clearly listed. I'm a bit surprised they don't push the episode count a bit more outside of the runtime and a small mention in the technical grid though. While no reversible cover is here nor is there an insert, they do provide a very cute sticker sheet that has a number of Pucchan images that can be strategically placed around.
