But this worn formula is what makes MM! so great. This anime follows the harem doctrine to the letter, but turns it up to eleven on all fronts. The whole cast sports some kind of perversion, the violence is out of control, the characters take the harem cliches to the extreme and the panty shots... oh, wait, there are none of those. Right.
Graphics are colourful, crisp and nice enough and the characters may look a bit too stereotypical with wild hairdos and -colours, but that's kind of the point. The music fits the hysterical theme of the show very well, even though it's far from good enough to make it into my "good shit" mp3 folder. Character and story depth are nothing to write home about, but it does its job.
All in all, MM! is a great comedy and an even better parody of a tired genre that really needed this vitamin injection. Let's hope it evolves from this, alternatively dies off completely when it is realized it can't get any better than MM!
