===Foreword===
In this review I might be quite often using the term “tsundere”, which simply stands for a personality which is initially aggressive and then loving. For more information see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere.

===Animation===
I don’t really like commenting on animation, since my artistic skills/thinking are very close to non existent. In my opinion the animation was good. It was nothing special. The backgrounds were simple, but the character designs were nice, and stayed consistent throughout the whole show. There also weren’t any drops in the quality of the animation. During the show there were bits where the characters were shown in different costumes, and sometimes barely with any costumes on. However this is excusable, since this anime was based on a hentai game, therefore it is aimed at a male audience. Though I wouldn’t say that girls should stay away from this. To tell you the truth there was barely, if any, fan service or ecchi in the series at all, but as mentioned before those scenes did sort of even out this fact. If I could give this a more precise rating, then it would be 7.5.

===Sound===
The sound was all right. The opening tune was the more notable one. It’s quite a catchy tune, at least the first thirty seconds of it. The ending song is pretty good as well, however it is on the soft side which I didn’t really like since the whole theme of the anime is quite cheerful just like the OP. On the other hand this does have a “relaxing” effect to it. Background music was fine, but nothing special. The voice acting seemed to be done relatively well.

===Story===
The story isn’t the strong point of this anime. It starts off with the lead female character Sunao Konoe who wants to start a drama club in her new school. However she is stopped by Erika Kiriya, the student council president. She sets up all sorts of challenges for Sunao, which makes the story start off in a cheerful and funny way. Then it starts developing some of the supporting characters, which I think was a waste of time since they didn’t really play any major part in the plot. And then the last few episodes suddenly jump to romance between Sunao and her childhood friend Leo. The romance isn’t bad, however the fact that the story jumps in this way just wastes time. Half of it is basically wasted on useless character development. They should have just stuck with the core plot and carried on with that, after all, 12 episodes is too little for developing many characters.

===Characters===
You love tsundere? Then you will love this show! All female characters, except for two or three, are tsundere. Originally this was supposed to be the strong selling point of the game, where this was quite notable. However I’m unsure whether it will have the same effect for the anime as well. The female characters aren’t bad, but their tsundere personalities aren’t done too well. It does come out quite strongly, like heavy quarrelling between certain characters, like the Coconut and Crab. As for character development, there are only a few characters that get developed fairly well and others don’t get any development at all. There are some male characters as well, including the main male lead Leo. Again, he is your average male character. He’s the only male character who gets fully involved in the story, the rest is there just for comedy and to fuel the story at times. Nothing special, apart from a curious fact that he is tsundere as well. How shocking. The other male characters are his friends, one of them who is a sensible guy and another who is a pervert. Then you have a scary principal with scars on his chest and a sexy teacher with a parrot that can speak Japanese fluently (and play the drums). Quite a “typical” cast, nothing surprising on this side.

===Enjoyment===
I had quite a lot of fun watching this. It was quite a welcoming change to see so many tsundere characters in one series. The main objective of this anime was comedy (with some light drama here and there) and the never ending quarrelling between the characters. And I think that it was accomplished well. I can definitely see myself watching this again someday… read more

A romantic comedy that tries to be original with it's "Drama" theme but it is pretty much the same as any other. On the other hand if you're a fan of Rom/Coms you might still enjoy this anime. ^_^

Here we have another high school romantic comedy anime to add to your collection. However unlike the truly great ones like: "Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", "Midori no Hibi", "Ah! My Goddess" and "Full Metal Panic" the plot of this anime is so ordinary it's boring. Watching a girl struggle to get a drama club established in her school is something that really could happen, which doesn't give this anime an edge like other ones. This is one of the major downfalls in this romantic comedy. However this does give the opportunity to pump out a series of random events, with the standard clichés found in most comedies. This is pretty much how the entire series flows, with the romantic element barely playing any part in the series until it reaches the halfway point. From here the series picks up a bit, as the romance starts to take the lead in the story and there is even one major development that even I couldn't predict. Nonetheless it was ruined by the ending, which didn't even make any sense and it probably was the director's idea to end with both of her goals completed, but the result was a bit of a mess.

The other is the animation which can be described as effortless, meaning no real effort was put into making this series look good. I can say that it looks decent for a romantic comedy nevertheless this anime was released quite recently so the standards have changed.

The music is nothing special and nothing good or bad can be sad about the background music, on the other hand it does have a pretty catchy Opening and Ending Theme song.

Overall this turned out to be an alright show to watch to pass the time and it is not at all disappointing to see it end after just 12 episodes. For a comedy the jokes weren't funny half the time, especially throughout most of the series the jokes were "daikon" related. The romance was what helped the show, no matter how predictable it was and it sort of helped put an end to the terrible jokes. Nothing can be said about the characters because they are also the typical mix clichés, with no real depth to them. So all in all this anime tries to be like an average rom/com but even fails at that, but some fans of rom/com may still enjoy this.
