It is! It was nominated for some Emmys, apparently.
[ HE IS JUST STARING AT WHATEVER IS HAPPENING. ]
Why?
Why?
[ shrugs! ]
It's mildly amusing at times. Maybe those were some slow years for American sitcoms.

High praise.
[ “mildly amusing” ]
I guess this means no one’s found the remote yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't one. Or if there is, that it's eternally stuck between the sofa cushions or out of batteries or something.
[ there is a brief flicker of a far away, long suffering look on his face. ]
... Yeah, that sounds about right. Worse if you can see it, but it's juuust permanently out of reach. And in the background, another episode of Zuiikin English begins to play.

[ he chuckles a little at that last part, though then he's reminded of just how unpleasant things will get in this building if anyone gets any bad cases of anything. ]
The death-by-a-thousand-cuts approach really is quite effective.
...Though frankly, if this is supposed to be making me more inclined to repent for something, it's having quite the opposite effect in that regard. I appreciate more than ever just how clean and luxurious the dormitories I provide for my students are in comparison!

Talk about always looking on the bright side of life.
[ the bar is literally in hell. ]
Oh, right. You said something about an academy. Are these one and the same?

You think I'd let my personal image be associated with a place that looked like this?
I don’t know? Probably not, the food sucks.
But you mentioned an academy so I was asking you about it.

Yes, well, this has next to nothing in common with it aside from ostensibly being an educational facility with student housing.
[ and a connection to demons, but, you know, whatever. ]
True Cross Academy is an impressive sight built up on a hill with the majority of its buildings being in the neoclassical style of the 19th century!

I wonder if the subliminal messaging here is “higher education is hell”?
[ small details, nothing to worry about. ]
Sooo… a fancy private academy then.

Admissions to the high school are extremely competitive!
And the uniforms are very cute, if that's what you're getting at.

Competitive entrance exams. And the cost of maintaining a neoclassical 19th century building too, I guess.
[ IMPORTANT NEWS. ]
Surprisingly, I wasn’t but I am always happy to hear the reviews.

[ it's less a matter of entrance exams and more whether he personally wants them there or not since he's the admissions department, but it's fine ]
They're my own design! I've heard that some students have applied specifically because they want to wear them. It's a shame I can't offer you a photo!

[ clever. ]
Oh? I'd ask you for a sketch if I knew where to find paper and a pen. Must be good though if you get people applying just for the clothes.
[ to be fair, what i remember of the AnE uniform is Stylish. ]

[ ok i need this to happen eventually because even though the first season anime went off in a wacky non-canon direction i refuse to give up the part about him drawing like a 5-year old ]
The colors are a big part of it! Lavender and cream for the girls, with a black, red, and white striped tie they can wear in whatever style they prefer — though my personal opinion is that it looks best when tied into a big bow, especially with the sailor collar on the winter uniform!

[ he draws a crayon outfit and date's like great. ]
... [ he just out here nodding like he has a clue about fashion. ] They do say people do best when they're allowed to express themselves.
[ and roll their skirts, but y'know. details. ]
So, it's a general academy then? [ he's not about to say "because you don't seem like a teacher" because. y'know. let's not get into arguments immediately. ]

Yes and no.
[ he considers leaving it at that, but his profile also did make it pretty clear that he wasn't some normal school chairman. ]
Most enrollees are typical high school students... but the academy is affiliated with the Order of the True Cross and doubles as an exorcist training facility for a smaller number of students.
