Watch this as well... It was, well, refreshing and pretty up-beat.
Gentaro is the biggest Japanese High School cliches (his hairdo and old school outfit totally scream Hanamichi Sakuragi from Slam Dunk and Kazuma Kuwabara From Yuyuhakusho), a transfer student who is thrown into a foreign background (here, a superficial and mainly parody of American High School cliches), and he is already challenging the status quo as he enters the cafeteria.
I don't really see the hate about the American High School cliches since overall one of main plot is about how Gentaro the japanese cliches trying to make friend with everyone, which of course he will succeed (since he's the star of the show) and thus resulting in changes to the superficial parody of the American High School settings.
Thus, Japanese High School cliches taking over and conquering American High School cliches... - this is 100% japanese writing in a japanese show...
