Synopsis

Makoto Niwa meticulously tallies the amount of positive and negative youthful experiences he engages in as if to grade his own life. When his parents go overseas, he moves to a new town to live with his aunt, welcoming the change and ready for a fresh start. However, as ordinary as he had imagined his adolescence to be, he could never have taken the existence of an enigmatic long-lost cousin into account.

Upon moving into his aunt's house, he discovers the cousin he never knew about: Erio Touwa. Despite being Makoto's age, she couldn't be more different: Erio chooses to wrap herself in a futon all day rather than to go to school. She even claims to be an alien, and with a speech pattern and personality to back it up, any chance of Makoto's dreamt-of normal life is instantly tossed out the window.

As he meets a string of other eccentric girls in town, Makoto must face the possibility of seeing his youth points in the red. However, he might be surprised by how thrilling an abnormal youth can be.

the story was pretty unique, and the comedy felt natural, it was a good blend of comedy along with confronting trauma and deep topics
the characters were silly and i love them all dearly ^-^
the art style is very pretty, and it suited my tastes perfectly

id watch this if your into goofy anime with that old feeling, but have developing characters.
its a good anime to watch in your free time and turn your brain off to

i have pretty low standards, but 10/10 for me
i watched the thanks giving episode on thanksgiving, i dont regret it at all

Mixed Feelings
This series starts off with an interesting premise & potential in Episodes 1-4, but after that, largely diverges into pointless filler moments. It doesn't get back to more interesting plot elements until the followup special aka episode 13 and by that time the series has ended. The questions you really want answered like 'What did Erio forget?' or 'Who/What is Elliot?' are never addressed and the light novels are pretty bad at answering this as well. Beautifully designed and interesting enough characters in the series, but sadly their potential is wasted in go nowhere activities like Baseball and Basketball games that feel like pointless filler. ...

Is very rare i rate an anime as a 1, as most have something to bring them up to at least a 3, but this lacked a good story, or really any type of story. More SOL, series of events going nowhere. The art and sound were good, but to me they didn't matter when the story, characters, enjoyment, meant an overall waste of my time even looking at this anime.

It tries to link things into the supernatural even though there is nothing supernatural shown in the whole anime really. The idea the daughter I an alien, is quickly removed, ...
