This is kind of an odd anime. It's comedy and a harem, almost everything that happens is a conversation, it throws in a few anime references here and there, and the whole anime takes place in one room.

I'm two episodes in and I'm not really liking this at all. In the second episode I only laughed twice. The references are just awkwardly thrown in when it makes no sense to do so, such as

when one of the characters asked about study skills so another character brought up a reference to Yugioh when it had no relevance what so ever.

Unfortunately I can't put my finger on what exactly makes most of the jokes to be not funny, but maybe I'll figure it out as the anime progresses. I can see why one of the fansubbers that subbed the first episode said that this was just god awful...

I skipped through most of it, I won't lie. And to be completely honest, the only 2 in the cast that make any sense whatsoever are the guy and the long, black haired girl.

And the only part that was actually good was towards the end in the serious moment. Those that have seen ep 2 know what I'm talking about and then it got shot down like the Crash of 1928...

One more episode and it's being dropped, and down a very deep chasm.

Haven't seen episode 2 yet, but I liked episode 1. It's mind numbingly random and pointless. I stopped listening and just watched them make fun of eachother. Who knows how long it'll last for me, but I think more or less it should be okay for now.

No HD releases for this and I can barely keep up with their japanese so I won't bother doing a comparion between different groups.

I don't like this show much at all. I dislike shows that only exist to run on popularity of other shows and to parody other stuff. Which is one of the reasons why I didn't enjoy Lucky Star as much as I thought I would've.

[Xennon]

Loved episode 2. And this show does not run off the popularity of others. Yeah, in the first episode that had a couple pointless references, got a lot better in the second episode.

The show is just mindless comedy. Simple situations, hilarious interaction.

[Lenaxia]

Just saw ep 2, was satisfied with it. Wasn't mind boggling and I didn't exactly LOL at anything, but it definitely kept me amused.

the gf dug this one out.. and i rather laughed hard at the first 15 minutes of the first ep... but then the jokes got old fast.

ep 2 was alright i guess (the deathnote parody had me laughing pretty good), but the repetitive nature of 90% of the comedy makes me think this one will lose it's charm (what little there is) in just 3 or 4 episodes... it's already pretty repetitive.

It's a bad thing when you wonder if the ep is over yet. because your mind is wandering and you're wanting it to end. As funny as i found the first 15 minutes of ep 1, i still felt like the ep was too long.

this would probably have been better as a series of 15 minute ovas.... not many of them i might add.

This has a similar feel to Dokuru-chan... no.. not particularly ecchi or violent... but repetitive comedy that depends heavily on 2 or 3 jokes repeated ad nauseum. I could hardly handle 3 episode of 15 minute shots of dokuru-chan... this one already has bored me to the point of walking away (i don't think my gf is bored of it yet, so I'll probably see a few more of this, but i doubt I'll watch too many more)

ep.3

surprisingly good... best ep i think thus far. I've not got bored of the repetitive jokes apparently. Pretty funny overall, for the ep.

Ken is clearly the best part about the show though, frankly... i think it lags when he's off screen.

[Quizap]

I'll admit it was better but not by very much. The newspaper girl was a nice change, I liked her the most in the episode.

[Szwagier]

This show is like a meal that lacks flavour. You can't say it's bad, but it doesn't have this something to make it interesting and satisfying. I agree with azanimefan that it would work best as few short ovas.
