Mixed Feelings
I'll start of by stating that the series is based on an eroge, that alone should've prepared me for what I saw, and in some ways it did, however, being the bastard that I truly am, I still feel the urge to lunge at this show with the critic's lumber axe of death and despair.

Going over everything that was bad about this show would surely take up alot of space, not to mention leave a bitter taste in your mouth and making you believe I've got nothing better to do than complain, which is sadly true... Anyway! The show is pretty much your average lovey-dove magical girl high school comedy-romance, filled with cliché characters, situations and dialogue and/or actions. Basically our heroine is a petit, flat-chested but-oh-so-cute shy and kindhearted person. Our hero is a glasses-wearing, somewhat buff and well-sculpted, bad haircut, anti-social douchebag who seems to have severe issues with his parents considering the fact that you never actually get to see them even once. The plot then? Nothing I'll even waste time on telling you, you can pretty much guess what it's about from the title anyway. The plotline is really unoriginal and you can guess the outcome of nearly every episode, not to mention the music constantly reminding us of what mood we should be in. Also, the animators seemed lazy and though it's common I suppose it still bugs me whenever I see the same lazy animation-clip re-used over and over. The show's sweet and cute and has most of the time a happy feeling about it. There's a lot more I could whine about but by now you've probably lost interest anyway, so I'll move on.

The good things about this show is, despite it's unoriginality it still kept me watching. This might be because I got to see a living sheep-plushie have a bath in the all-girls' bath at some summer camp, but I'm guessing that's not all, or else I feel sorry for myself. It's got some fun moments and even though I've seen most, well all, of the jokes before, I still can't help myself to cracking a smile and laughing at some of them. The show's sweet and cute and has most of the time a happy feeling about it, sensitive types might find the sad moments sad too I suppose.

Music and sound were, as usual, good and all but nothing that was exceptional or will make you line up or order the Original Soundtrack or Drama CD from Japan.

Summarisation, already here? Who cares, you've stopped reading anyway! It's an unoriginal, cliché-filled, predictable and happy love-story which actually reminds you of most Hollywood-made films. It's not bad, some jokes are fun and what not, but it's nothing new or exciting really and most viewers will probably yawn or sigh about as often as they'll laugh and smile or cry, well, if you cry when watching this then you're a complete wuss and I'll hunt you down with a lawnmower!

... Seriously, if you get teary-eyes from this I'll come around and smack you with a rolled up newspaper!
