This is one of the shows that when I was first getting into anime, everyone had seen. For me, it’s one of the classics, one of the foundational texts, a precursor to all the stuff that’s come out in the past 10 years. As such, it was my duty to see it. When they were kids, a boy and a girl made a promise to get into Tokyo’s most prestigious university. But now the boy has forgotten the girl’s name, and he’s also failed the test to get in twice. Anyway, he ends up being the manager to an all woman’s boarding house and this is a harem show and he’s completely spineless and also a pervert and did I mention that there are hot springs out back and did I mention that each episode features him stumbling and falling and grabbing someone’s breast and or opening the door and seeing someone right when they’re undressing; yeah, so that’s that. The show’s worst aspects are definitely it’s most slapsticky, or when the show loses the emotional focus of the story (the growing attraction between the two main characters, one of the greatest tsunderes ever created). It wasn’t quite a disappointment because it’s what I expected, but you know, you always want these things to be better than they really are.
