The story-Ok, I'll give it that the story was actually pretty bland. It wasn't exactly the most intellectual as it did have a pretty stupid premise, but, on the other hand, seeing as this was a parody anime, i think maybe they also wanted to make fun of the stupid plotlines 3\4's of comedies have. It was never honestly greatly annoying, however, because this anime is hard to take seriously, aside from its really heartwarming moments. I'll give it a 5 out of 1O simply because, although not bothersome, it was actually a really stupid premise.
The art-It's hard for me to really judge art as huge factor in my enjoyment of the anime because I typically see it as a bonus unless they excel at the artwork. The character designs were actually perfect in molding the characters image (e.g, Ichiko being a bonbacious breasted rich snob, or atleast initially), and for that I give it an 8 out of 1O.
Sound-The intro is really fun and poppy, however...the outro sounds like alvin and the chipmunks reincarnated into a little japanese girl. Thankfully the intro is enough to outweight this, however, so it still recieves a strong 6 out of 1O.
Character-Call the characters one sided, flat, whatever, they are still amazingly enjoyable. Yes they all have major niche roles they never deviate from (e.g, the poverty god being a tomboyish typical teenage girl with a flaring hate for ichiko) but they play them roles so well its as if the maker lived as these characters for a day just to perfect them. Plus most of the characters are actually really loveable and will grow on to you (especially Ranmaru). They only one who undergoes major character development is of course, our main character, ichiko, however they are all very loveable. A strong 9 out of 1O for characters.
Enjoyment-Overall a really fun goofball of anime, even goofier if you get the parody references. I was laughing nearly the entire time and for that, an outstanding 1O out of 1O.
Overall (for critics only)-8 out of 1O. But this score really doesn't mean anything.
