Preliminary (7/12 eps)
Tsundere Right? Follow me. I don't like you one bit. Not at all
Reply: I don't see you as a love interest one bit. Not at all.
That wasn't Tsundere!


Every anime has its own priorities, or goals. If every anime was aiming for the same thing then there would be little variety. Shounen anime like one piece or naruto are meant to make the watchers enjoy awesome fights and power ups through a long adventure and Key productions such as Clannad and Angel beats are meant to be a romance story that could make a grown man cry.

OniAi(this anime) does not aim for a romance or action. Comedy is the only goal. If you expect a plot or a goal then this is not for you.

OniAi is an anime aiming to be a romantic comedy. Do not let the word romance fool you. It uses romance as comedy, there is no actual romance development.

OK. After all I have said it may sound I am a huge critic who hates this show. Not at all. In fact, I love it. It does its job splendidly making me smile and laugh so much throughout an episode I need to calm down because my face hurts due to smiling ( I am doing so as of now ).

Story-9
The story is the little sister trying to win her brother's heart (kind of... the methods are... strange). It is hilarious with all the obstacles and events she has to overcome and how she gets past them.

Art-8
The art is very nice, colorful and fits with the mood of happiness and laughter. The pictures bring out the best of each characters. However I have a tiny problem with the eyepatch which reminds me of evil pirates so it's an 8.

Sound-9
The sound is very well done and the characters voices could give you a good idea of what is going on, even if you don't understand ( trust me I tried ). The sound blends well with the show and amazing.

Character-10
This is perhaps my favorite part of the show. The characters are all unique, though quite unrealistic and symbolizing a strange trait or characteristic their interactions are simply hilarious. I also love how the characters react to different situations and their strange attract to Akito ( the main character ). Best of all there is no stupid male perv that ruins moments by acting stupid stupid stupid. The introduction of new characters is equally enjoyable as you get to see new characters representing something you may like or would of liked to see.

Enjoyment-10
A smile is much easier to make than a frown is so false. It usually takes a ton to make me laugh out loud. However, if it takes a ton to make me laugh out loud then this show would be like a trillion tons of comedy and happiness. I laugh at every moment and it does not make me sad, angry or depressed at all. This is pretty much laughing gas compressed and packed in an anime. Super duper enjoyable.

Conclusion:

If you want to smile, laugh, have fun. Or just take a break from your stressful life, watch this. If you are simply looking for a story with a great plot or something this won't have it. I would consider this a masterpiece at what is does, which is comedy however I really do not expect much of a story. If you have seen one of those harems where the indecisive male lead gets nothing accomplished, expect it. However, this is not due to indecisiveness but to the uniqueness of the situation and how the anime would actually lower in grade due to plot. The comedy would greatly reduce if anything was actually accomplished and the unstable situation is what causes the laughter and happiness to overflow (kind of like how unstable ions can make explosions or something).

This is definitely a good watch for having fun. Try it! (if you read books it's kind of life Dr.Seuss books vs the Hunger Games or Harry Potter except this anime is wayyyyy funnier)
