Art: I don’t have very much to say on this topic other than the art style is pretty generic. While the animations are good and it’s overall pleasing to look at, I found myself easily drawn away or distracted by other things. The main thing I did appreciate was the amount of detail that went in to some things, for example after Mikatan has been crying for what we would assume has been a long time, she actually has redness surrounding her eyes, and it stays like that for quite a while. It’s those little things that really no one would really care about if it wasn’t there, but because it is there, it shows the amount of detail that went into making it. One of the main things that drives this show is Fan-Service. There is no way to hide that fact as one of the main plot points is that the main character, Yuta, goes berserk whenever he sees panties or anything suggestive, and in a house full of girls, it happens often. Whenever this happens early on in the show his nose will gush with blood, ill talk about this later, but this is a type of thing that I find just over-the-top and sometimes a bit annoying.
Music: So the songs in both the opening and closings are catchy, but I’ll be honest, I did not feel any regrets just skipping past them, but from the opening animation, one could really get the gist of the entire show: kid sees panties and goes crazy while his nose gushes blood. This being said the music used in the show, while usually under the voices or the action is pretty solid and worth a listen because it really adds to the shows experience. While there was no real extra sound like I’ve heard before, other than the occasional crash, that is something that I feel like if it was included the show would be quite a bit better.
Story: In a word - Confusing. I had a hard time following this show and while everything seemed to pan out as time went on, after the first few episodes I was confused. Then, after episode 6, the plot made those first six episodes close to meaningless outside of episodes 7 and 8. The over usage of the bloody nose is something that I get is a cliche but when it is so exaggerated it makes the show feel like it’s trying really hard to be funny when it really doesn’t need to be. Yuta ends up being a disembodied spirit in the very first episode and as the show progresses he learns how to use this form better and better. He realizes that there is a terror group, the Qmay group, that is trying to use an asteroid to destroy humanity and breed a perfect world, So the show mostly consists of Yuta teaming us with the other people in his friend group that can go berserk like he can to stop this group from succeeding. At its core this show really is about ‘superheros’ working together to save the world.
Personal Reflection: So I want to point out that I am not really a fan of superhero things. Be it movies, TV shows, comics, whatever, I just don’t really care for them. And while this stigma against these types of things may have factored into how I felt about this show, it doesn’t change that I had to try and convince myself to come back to the show over doing other things. The overuse of fan-service is something that I thought was a little much, and I don’t mind it at all, but because it was such a large part of the story, I found myself wondering “why?” I felt like there was a lot that could have been done well here and it just wasn’t. And while near the end of the show I began to care more and more about this cast, by the time this happened the show was over. It was not a bad show by any means, but it isn’t one that I plan on watching again anytime soon. What I really want to say with this is; watch out for fan-service in this zany superhero comedy/drama.
Overall Rating: 7/10
