Daa! Daa! Daa! is the classic story of boy meets girl meets alien baby meets alien babysitter. It has all the elements of a romantic comedy that one could possibly entertain. Miyu and Kanata are junior high school students that find themselves caring for an alien baby, Ruu-chan, with the help of his escort and babysitter, Wannya. For better or for worse, Miyu and Kanata are currently living alone together due to extenuating circumstances.

As a romantic comedy, Daa! Daa! Daa! falls into a formulaic pattern for a majority of its episodes. For example, Miyu and Kanata are trying their hardest to maintain their everyday lives and accommodate Ruu-chan as much as possible. However, due to Ruu-chan having supernatural powers, he creates a large stir. Miyu, Kanata and Wannya then are responsible for calming the situation and rescuing Ruu-chan. This affects the plot directly as well as the character development for both Miyu and Kanata. While some episodes bring together Miyu and Kanata closer than just strangers and more like boyfriend and girlfriend, the next seems to completely nullify any development in their relationship status.

Daa! Daa! Daa! is not an unsuccessful series. It has 78 episodes, a testament to its positive reception when it initially aired. It suffers from the same issues longer and even more popular series in the same genre does. Though the plot may be formulaic, it works to provide entertainment usually. Despite the novel premise of the plot, the chemistry and comedic situations between the characters are eventually unmemorable. Regardless, it may be helpful to know that the target audience for this show is likely to be junior high school students or even younger that are looking for an immediate sour of entertainment.
