This anime certainly wasn't one meant to deliver much of a story. Yes, there is a plot, and yes, it does explore the plot, but it more so explores the cast. The first tag is comedy, and that is pretty much all it was meant to be. The "plot" is mainly just there to serve as a basis for the jokes and comedy that comes with it.
What makes this show funny is just how weird the cast is. The main character, Yuuko, is in extreme poverty. When she learns of her family's history from her mother, she accepts what comes with it. Oddly, even
...
to her, is how easily all her friends take it when she's telling them why she suddenly has horns and a tail. One also nonchalantly mentions how there's a magical girl in the same school. Even the main character is perplexed at just how odd things are.
Part of what makes it funny is just *how* odd the cast is. None of them act as if anything supernatural is out of the ordinary, and embrace it.
Rather than battling her enemy, Momo, a magical girl, Momo essentially tricks her into becoming friends with her. It would be difficult for any of this to be a spoiler, because it is easy to tell from the beginning how everything will go.
This is purely meant to be a comedy. As stated, yes, there's a plot, but I think that is mainly to establish a basis for the humor.
Art: 7/10 - Good, but fairly average. I won't label below 7 because these days most art in anime is pretty good.
Music: ??/10 - Not really there...
Voice actors: 9/10 - all did a great job at elevating the characters' voices. The mother I especially find to have a voice that greatly fits her character.
Plot: 7/10 - The overall plot is just a way to establish the humor, but it is still a funny and good plot. Pretty average I'd say.
I suppose how much someone would like this depends largely on their sense of humor, because that is what this show is primarily about.

If you like the show, you'll also like the manga. You'll also find the movie adaptation in vol 7, 8, and 9. Since the series never got a full anime adaptation, you'll need to read this if you want to find any kind of conclusion to the series. That said, a *true* conclusion isn't necessarily...fully there.
While there is a conclusion that leaves enough information to fill in some of the blanks, sadly the ending really didn't answer many things. (Not really sure if that is a spoiler??) It answered a few questions, but ultimately much more is still left unanswered. The ending itself literally
...
feels like an unfinished chapter/episode/whatever. It feels as if the story could pick back up at any moment with the given ending, but it never did and was deemed complete.
Whatever the case, if you want to know more beyond season 2 and the movie (which yes, is canon), then you'll most likely enjoy the manga. The story continues similarly to how it was in the anime. Usually whacky antics mixed in with some slice of life, crazy alien/time traveler stuff, some closed space stuff, etc. And yes, what happened in the movie that was left unexplained is shown in the manga.
I have no complaints about the art or pacing really. It seemed to fulfill its role. Although, an ending or more stuff explained would've been nice...
This would certainly be a good read if you're looking for something with a little bit of slice of life, some comedy, supernatural, and romance and action sprinkled in. It is an odd mix that somehow fits cohesively together. If you haven't seen the anime and don't know anything about it, then I can assure you there are plenty of aspects involving time travel, weird events that one would consider either magic/supernatural/alien. There are also plenty of fun moments between the characters, and a subtle amount of romance. There's a little more action than there is romance, but overall those two categories are the one's most lacking. They still all come together though.
If you're juggling between reading and not reading it, I'd say go for it.

Time looping done right.
It can be tricky to pull off time loops without being too repetitive, but in this case each time we are presented with new circumstances and information.
I came across this anime without much expectations, because I didn't even read the synopsis. It was on my "plan to watch", but I had completely forgotten about it being on there. Anyhow, I certainly do not regret watching this.
The art and music weren't particularly anything special, but the story and how it was executed was done very well.
Each of the main protagonists are easy to like, and there is plenty of
...
screen time for each of them.
The story revolves around the main protagonists looping through a series of events based off of the main character's ability to go back in time in order to try to prevent what is supposed to happen at the end of the loops. This is learned on episode 1, so I don't think that counts as a spoiler...
Anyhow, as stated, despite it being essentially a time-loop type anime, it avoids being repetitive and boring. Keep in mind this is a 25 episode show, so it certainly couldn't repeat the same stuff constantly. Anyone who saw the "Endless Eight" portion of Haruhi Suzumiya knows what I mean...In this show, each loop is pretty different in one way or another, and you're constantly being fed more information. It doesn't get repetitive or boring because of the looping.
The tags of mystery, supernatural, and suspense are indeed true, but it isn't a horror anime, which seems to have confused some reviewers, despite it not being labeled as horror.... It is dark in many ways, yes, but it isn't a horror anime, nor is it labeled as such.
This is a solid show, with a well executed story, and doesn't fall flat during the climax or ending of the show.

I'll leave just a short review...
It was okay, but certainly had more potential that was not lived up to. If the story was paced differently and executed differently, the idea would've made for a good show. Unfortunately, it did not execute properly and had a rushed and lackluster finale to say the least.
The story itself was decent, just poorly executed.
The characters were likable, but like the story, fell flat due to execution and pacing. Things were too rushed to really get much out of the characters, especially given how little they were developed in such a time span.
Wouldn't watch again nor recommend unless you're
...
very bored.
Starts off good so you don't realize you've wasted your time until the last two episodes or so...So, you may enjoy it for the first half, and even well into the second half, but the last few episodes fail to develop the characters and story in a way the makes it worth the watch, and ultimately falls flat.

Before I even watched the show, I already have thoughts as to how I thought it would be. I always try to push past those thoughts, because that is how I have found some of the best anime I've seen. Sometimes there is much more than meets the eye.
Initially I thought the art would be the hardest to accept because I have a massively hard time enjoying an anime that has animation similar to a video game.
Interestingly, I realized that I did really enjoy the artwork, as well as the special effects. Usually anime that have game-type animation aren't my style to say the
...
very least, but I ended up enjoying it to my extreme shock. Some may find it to be the same for themselves.
I felt that it brought a lot of interesting material to the table. In season 1 you learn bits and pieces of things, but the way everything is played out gives me a decent enough reason to give a good score for it's story line.
In many ways it holds similarities to Tokyo Ghoul. The character must learn to cope with something he never had to before, he has to isolate himself from the world, especially cops, AND lastly, though he tries to remain "human" for the most part, he has lost what makes him human. In both shows, the characters must adapt to a new form of life.
Back onto season 1...Season 1 was interesting in my opinion. The pacing was right, the characters were interesting, and the art was pretty good. I am hoping season 2 is a bit more exciting, but the show did manage to keep me entertained enough to finish it quickly.
Just make sure to watch it in 720px or 1080px because I imagine that the art would look pretty rough in a lower quality...
