Trivia / Prison School

• All-Star Cast: One of the many reasons why fans were looking forward to this show was the big name seiyuu that were brought along to voice the characters. The Japanese cast brings in heavy hitters including Hiroshi Kamiya, Katsuyuki Konishi, Daisuke Namikawa, Kenichi Suzumura, Kazuyuki Okitsu, Sayaka Ohara, Kana Hanazawa, Shizuka Itō, Keiji Fujiwara, and Ami Koshimizu.
• Dueling Shows: With School-Live! and Shimoneta.
• He Also Did: Series composer Kotaro Nakagawa was also credited for his work on other anime, including Scryed, Planetes, GUN×SWORD, Code Geass, Psychic Squad, Gosick, Inu × Boku SS and Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.
• Torch the Franchise and Run: In retrospect, the author Akira Hiramoto may had hinted his intention to end the manga back in the 3rd story arc. Unlike most examples of this trope, no one was killed in the series, but the status quo was completely changed by featuring the destruction of the Prison. Not only that, the author abruptly ended all on-going plot threads, with little to no resolution, and hastily concluded Kiyoshi and Andre's romance lives, with only the latter getting an Earn Your Happy Ending. What sealed the deal for this trope is that the author promised the fans a "much improved" epilogue when they purchased the final volume of the manga - It didn't conclude anything, and was clearly a waste of money for the fans who purchased it for the epilogue.
• Trolling Creator: With respect to that manga's ending. The final serialized chapter was released on December 2017 in a Sudden Downer Ending, with author Akira Hiramoto promising a "much improved" epilogue on the release of the final volume (April 2018). Fans eagerly waited four months only to find that this epilogue was nothing more than a few panels of the boys dreaming about the Wet T-Shirts Contest with neither background explanation nor conclusion.
