A fair comparison to be made about Okusama would be Kiss x Sis. Not necessarily just because the main girl, Ui Wakana, is voiced by the same Seiyuu, Ayana Taketatsu, who voiced Ako Suminoe in Kiss x Sis, but because of how both anime use fanservice to create a pleasant, playful atmosphere. As a comedy anime with a running time of under 8 minutes, this style of fanservice that is there to stimulate and entertain people fits perfectly with the short duration. If this were an anime that was your standard 24 minutes, including OP and ED, I don't think the fanservice would've held on for so long. Or worst, it could've tried to take a serious turn to its story like most bad ecchi anime.
Kiss x Sis gets away with a 24-minute running time because of the charm all of the characters possess, while Okusama, unfortunately, only has the joy of our two main protagonists. The main male lead, Hayato Izumi and Ui Wakana, both supply a solid connection built up to a silly concept of getting married together out of spite from both of their parents. Ui's brand of perverted antics is both subtle and humorous when she tries to bed with Hayato, which takes it up a notch from Ayana Taketatsu's incredible performance. Of course, when those sexy scenes between them occur, they are nothing short of magical, despite how short they are.
That is where the character praises take a back seat for the supporting cast. Although I do think Ui's mother is just as entertaining as her daughter, the rest do not leave much of an impression due to their short presence. Whatever good that can be found in their character, they are overshadowed by our main protagonists fairly quickly. Ui and Hayato even have moments of hilarity by themselves from their delightful charisma. Ui stalking the other girl with affections was gut-bustlingly hilarious to see. Her throwing condoms to show a sex-positive message to her students added a nice touch of nuance commentary and absurdity to Okumasa.
As far as short anime shows go, Okusama takes advantage of its duration and makes something suitable to take in. Kind of like a fast-food restaurant, the quality of the food is ideal for the cost and time that it takes for it to be created for consumption. Sometimes if a short anime does too much for its running time, it will appear all over the place. Okusama is a solid watch to experience the character interactions for what they are inside, lewd carnivorous beasts.
