Whew* well that was different to the past few serious shows!
Gakuen is a lighthearted show about a boy called Keita who one day gets a letter to the prestigous school Liberty Bell, even though he didn't apply or get the grades. But he decides not to let the oportunity pass and makes his way there.
As it becomes clear to the school board that, although he is a bright boy, he is there by accident they decide to ask him firmly to leave. His new friends protest and his new best friend Kazuki seems to have a plan up his sleave. It turns out that Kazuki is actually the new head teacher of the school and he invited Keita on purpose because they had met years ago and promised to go to the same school, but Keita then caught an illness and lost his memories of Kazuki.
I'll admit that the fact that their friendship turned to love was a surprise for me, but it was a very sweet and touching finish to the show which made me wish there could be more to watch. Though it is not as moving or gripping as the other anime i've watched, it had it's own sweetness about it which made it a satisfying watch. Maybe a 6 and a 1/2 out of 10
