Can we take a moment to note that there was an absurd amount of sex comedies this season. Between Shimoneta, Monster Musume, Prison High School, To Love Ru Darkness 2nd and now Okusama ga Seitokaichou! It seems like every possible niche was explored to some complicity. But what separates Okusama from the rest of the list is in it's simplified length and even more simplified plot.

Okusama is your typical fair for the genre. The female character is the aggressor in the 'relationship' though she isn't nearly as bad as I am making her out to be. And I say 'relationship' whereas the only reason they are together is because the female lead, Ui Wakana moved into the male leads apartment because their parents set them up for marriage when they were children. Something apparently only Ui remembers.

While it sounds like I am harping on this show in a negative light I found it pretty hard to find anything actually 'wrong' with the series. It's short length cuts out the filler and goes straight to whatever the issue is that episode. Whether it be a miscommunication or a fellow student living next door. Things you expect almost to a fault. But the energy of the series is fast pace and the characters at least enjoyable in 8 minute bursts. What really helped it along was the clean look of the art which complimented the rather brisk length.

I should probably mention I watched the uncensored broadcast via Crunchyroll. There isn't much to say on the topic. Every couple of episodes would get as close to soft core porn as it could before something prevented the couple from going further.

While I didn't fall in love with this anime there wasn't anything to get upset about. It was mediocre but not unwatchable. Some of the subplots were entertaining but due it their short length none of them had a conclusion. The opening and closing songs were forgettable. And yet I would be remissed to give it a bad score. To coin the late great Douglas Adams it was 'Mostly Harmless'.
