This show doesn't quite give what you'd expect if you were going in to find a good story because frankly, the main overarching story does not get resolved at all and you are pretty much left with guessing what actually is happening. The motives of the main villain is never explored and nothing is actually resolved with the conflict as both sides are exactly where they start out at by the end of it. That would what you'd expect out a terrible show but there is still a bit there if you are really digging which people take the chance to cling onto. However, if you are watching for the story, this might be one of the worst show you could watch as it will leave you wondering why did any of it even happen once you finish it.

The general tone of the show regarding Art, Sound and Characters are what you'd expect and overall quite generic. The tsundere female MC, the shy but nice male MC, the cute and protective friend of female MC and a cast of somewhat generic anime tropes as background characters. All this glued together with references to popular fairy tales. All of this makes for an average school anime with a slight twist. 6/10 material right there, 5/10 for the terrible story right?

All except for how much enjoyment I got out of the parody elements of the show. The whole show makes a lot more sense if you don't take it at face value and just feel how well the tropes are played. The evil school with the evil people are evil because the show needs conflict, they even tell you this in one of the episodes. The whole plot is a cheesy mess just because it's not important. The character dialog is often covered up by the 4th-wall breaking narrator because it's not important. It's all just there because it has to be. It is only uses it as a way to put the characters in situations where you can get their interactions.

The show was quite an enjoyable sitcom and the tropes played are enjoyable if you aren't super serious about it. The way the characters play off each other in situations are both fun and funny. That is what made the anime worth watching. It knows why a lot of comedies like this are funny and it makes a joke of the other aspects of some shows like this.

One thing that this show does however seems to be that it is way too subtle with some of these parody elements. I feel like there is a joke there about why the kids never go to the adults but the reasoning is just be the kids don't want to worry the adults which is a joke in itself but they could have done a lot more to emphasize it. Thing like this could be played a lot more openly. This makes it harder to tell when the show is actually joking or just bad. This doesn't bother me too much but I can see a lot of people missing it as a joke, if it was intended as one. I don't claim that all the terrible plot holes and bad writing are just for comedic effect but the show was genuinely enjoyable to me and I over look all that just because of it.

Not the best anime but if you can enjoy it as a parody, the comedy is fun and enjoyable.
