Sum it up in three words: Innovative, Cramps, Ninomiya-kun

This is going to be the first time that I will actually write a proper review, because I think this anime deserves one. Judging from its ranking, it is not so high, but I think this is one of the most under-rate anime today. There are so many people out there who tries to make funny anime, a lot of them are slapstick, and a lot of them are just so annoying because they try to be funny when they are not. (Hayate the Combat Butler for example) When an comedy anime is not funny, it is unforgivable. This doesn't apply to Minami-ke though.

Story: (No rating) This is not really an anime with a storyline, it is, as it says, the daily lives of three sisters. It is not something extra-ordinary, no espers and great big evil plots, it is EASY TO FOLLOW and laidback.

Art: At first I thought it wasn't very good, but as you get used to them, you will really start to like the style. I especially like how they draw the mouth, I think it is very cute! The people who wrote this anime also used DIFFERENT style of drawing at different situations, for example, when they are giving each other "evils" the art suddenly starts to become more mature and real, to make fun of the character's body language. tbh, there are a lot of original comedy that no one else has ever thought of, which is why I recommend it.

Sound: Well, the opening

Character: In an anime that deals mainly in character-development, it does it outstandingly. At first sight, you will instantly fall in love with the contrasting personalities of the characters and you will "yearn" for how they interact. You will learn about new characters but the main focus is on the three sisters. It is ESPECIALLY good that one sister goes to primary school, another secondary and the third - high school. So there are things that the youngest sister don't understand such as she doesn't know what "doing naughty things" mean, while being teased by others. CLASSICAL. That is only to name one of many moments.

Enjoyment: “Sensei and Ninomiya-kun” <<< when you watch it, just look out for that. EVERY EPISODE, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD SO MANY TIMES. (In three years of watching Anime, I have NEVER laughed at an anime because it was funny, NEVER) Everything the characters do are very spontaneous but yet believable in a real life situation. Everything from cross-dressing to bikinis, you would never have guessed. IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE YOU.

Overall - I am not a person who really like comedy anime, I prefer the more deeper, emotional side of anime, so based on my reference, I can only give it a respectable 8. But if you love your comedy, you will definitely love this. (and if you don't prefer the comedy genre, this anime may give you a different outlook but be prepared to get cramps from laughing too much.
