I've watched 5 episodes by now and I'm considering dropping this series. I didn't expect much, in fact I was looking for a light comedy and this one was quite highly rated.
I laughed maybe once for San's father and twice for Masa and Nagasumi's first kiss, but it gets repeatable after that. I see the places when I'm supposed to laugh but I don't feel like it.
Am I missing something? Or maybe it gets better in later episodes?

Same thing was for me, although I finished it somehow. There will be more places that will probably make you laugh, but if you don't feel like watching it, then better don't.

Well, I wasn't thinking of it being funny... But I started enjoying after episode 14 or something... (the one with the cat). Well, it has it's moments, it's not the best series, but it's quite entertaining after a while... That's what I thought about the later episodes (the first ones didn't catch my attention, nor made me laught).

I started watching it because everyone said it was ridiculously funny, but other than a smile here and there, it really isn't doing it for me. :/

Didn't started laughing from the start? Drop it.

No other anime has made me laugh so much.

That's the thing with comedy. There's different kinds of comedy for different types of people. Some people like parodies, other dark humor, others just very obscene gag routines. The list can go on. If you didn't like the comedy after 1/3 of the way in then I guess it's safe to say it isn't for you. It doesn't mean it's overrated or that it sucks. It just reflects the difference between the comedy you like and the comedy the reviewers liked, all up to the viewer's taste.

Personally the start kinda seemed a bit been-there-done-that routine but it's been hooking me the further on I watch.

This anime was probably one of the most funny anime i have ever seen.

Maybe you guys chose wrong fansub or you went with dubbing.
OR you are just not made for comedy anime like this one.
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list )

I'm sure the guy from January of 2011 will definitely watch the show now, thanks to your input.

you dropped it because you didn't laugh? *facepalm*

I swear those people shouldn't exist on here.

Made it through 4 episodes before I dropped it. I would have dropped it after one episode, but it came so highly recommended that I thought it was sure to improve.

It's more for people that came after (like me). Since these threads don't really disappear.

Think I need to try and watch it again, but I felt the same last time I tried. Although that was the dub and the MC screaming in my eardrums constantly drove me crazy. Which is odd because I enjoyed D-FRAG.

First few episodes are not really good (for me). It gets better when they actually start the show back to the city.

I thought it was hilarious from start to finish, but that was a while ago.

Agreed. I'm finding it as the most horrible anime I've watched to date. I enjoy the main storyline with Sun and Nagasumi but the supporting characters of family, henchmen, and Maki are grating, repetitive and obnoxious and I feel so sorry for Nagasumi as he has all these psychopaths making his life a living hell. I think Sun and her family should just f*** off and go back to the Seto sea. I have continued watching waiting and hoping for it to get better but so far just more of the same crap. I am considering dropping it. :(

It's a comedy. If the humor doesn't click with you, there's no reason to not drop it. It's fairly consistent throughout.

I also was thinking this might be the case and I could have tolerated if it was just Maki but all the family etc following just has crushed it for me. I did not find it very funny as the jokes were repeated to death and I also felt I knew where it was supposed to be funny but it just did not tickle my funny bone. Oh well. Too bad because the animation was quite cute, music and bgm were enjoyable as were some of the characters. If the family were gone I would have kept watching until the end. :(

Damn, this was hard to watch. I started watching this because people say its one of most hilarious anime out there but i could even laugh how annoyed i was. Even though idea was good, mermaid x human forced marriage (like Nisekoi, which i loved) they failed with comedy part. They were screaming 90% and 90% of that was not even funny. If they went with normal comedy instead of this screaming sh?t i think this show would be really good. But, since it had some good moments, characters and few good episodes, instead of my lowest score 5 im giving it 6

Well is a bad clone of Urusei Yatsura. Watch that first. If you like that you might enjoy some of this show, but yes most of the jokes in this show are kinda lame.

Is not that funny maynly of how bad of a character Nagasumi is. He is so lame most of the time and so subservient to the women around him it makes me sick. Watch Urusei Yatsura . The original is better.
