Synopsis:

The escapades of four (later on five) students at Kyuumon Highschool from the Second News Club's life-advice column. The show depicts their misadventures and rhetoric as they endeavour to provide helpful advice to their fellow students.

Characters:

Yuuki Akamatsu: Yuuki is the protagonist of the story and the most rational one of the group, he is an average highschooler in most respects and is a closet pervert (like most men). He is the counselor for the Second News Club and mediates the life advice column discussion. He appears to hold feelings for Rino, but does not act on them.

Ayaka Nikaido: The president of the Second News Club. She is very eccentric and is enemies with the president of the First News Club as well as the Student Council President.

Rino Endou: Rino is the smart one in the group, her expertise lies in the sciences. To her, there is nothing that can't be explained by science and she actively scorns the occult and superstition. She has feelings for Yuuki but she never acts on them.

Fumi Kujou: The cultured one of the group, she specializes in humanities and literature. She frequently references the 14th century Chinese classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She comes from an old, wealthy family. She is a very busty girl and is frequently molested by Ikumi.

Ikumi Suzuki: The goofy one of the group. Her expertise lies in athletics. Her answers to questions have little underlying thought behind them and she frequently causes awkward situations in the groups. She is at least somewhat perverted, given how much she molests Fumi. She always wears athletic shorts underneath her skirt.

Emi Murakami: The artist in the group. Emi joins the life advice column as a counselor after the art club is shut down. She is very passionate about painting. She also frequently strips out of her clothes whenever the opportunity arises.

Kouta Asano: The narcissistic president of the First News Club. Creates a life advice column after the Second News Club does so he can compete. He is also an open pervert.

Jinsei was an anime I personally found very entertaining. However, as far as quality goes it wasn't special. Jinsei has a unique premise taking place in a cookie-cutter setting, that setting being highschool. The animation, art, and voice acting was good but not anything masterful. The story is extremely repetitive. Every episode the group answer three questions. They provide initial opinions on how to answer each, go on some escapade to have experiences that allow them to better answer the question, and finally every single question in the show is ultimately just a combination of all three (and later four) of the girls opinions. Some plot components will remain contiguous through a few episodes, such as the science teacher's one man society to create a machine to destroy pornographic magazines in emergency situations. For the most part though, every episode is identical. The show is entertaining but not very engaging and this is largely due to the premise as a whole. However, the show is fun to watch and is quite amusing.

It is recommended for comedy genre anime.
For me, the ecchi genre is not really stand out in this anime.
The story, animation and character are really good, that's why I give 10/10. Same goes to enjoyment.
Overall, 10/10. I love Jinsei! XD

A genuinely light and pleasant anime that is really meant for just enjoying pleasure.  The characters, specifically the girls, are very distinct in their backgrounds and personalities which makes their bantering all the more funnier in this type of anime.  The plot itself consists of these characters giving life advice to people and somehow usually leads them to some outlandish conclusion.  The main "romance" plot is shadowed by the sheer ecchiness of the show, but it is still remotely interesting.  The opening and ending themes are both nice to listen to.  Overall, I liked the anime but it is definitely one that can be watched at a casual pace and doesn't need any continuation from where it ended.  It at least deserves your consideration.
