Why is it so cliché? And it doesn't even seem to be aware of how cliché it is. First episode and we have the ever evil school bully, the action girl who can beat up boys (oooh such a new concept), the super geek, a transfer student (good god), and the main character who looks like he was designed by committee. Really? Is this the best that they can come up with? What does every character have to be such a trope? Do normal people not go to Japanese schools anymore?

This was largely my reaction to the show too, especially the transfer student. I did get a few laughs out of Switch, although the most interesting thing for me was trying to figure out what kind of laptop he was using (Elitebook? Thinkpad?).
I'll give it a few episodes to get going though since everyone else seems to be saying it picks up later.
