"Cromartie High" (Crokou) is a shoot-n'-forget type of anime.
Don't try to *think* anything. If you see it, just start the counter
missile maneuver running out of the combat area dropping chaffs
and flares around, you'll be KIA otherwise.
As the matter of fact, I don't remember "white sticks with blue blubs"
thing. The show has many elements that I can't understand. Most of
the characters, for instance. But the show isn't something that the
audience will understand. Just watch, laugh and forget.
Visit NHK's Manga Yawa site, if you're interested in. You can find
viewers' comments to Crokou at the site of wich URL is:
