They did a great job making it look like the characters progress, like they overcome their most secret and personal problems, but it's absolutely all the contrary. The characters and the story never progress after the very first episodes. Again, the series did a great job making it seem like it. After that we are left with some sort of repetitive slice of life, two filler episodes and a rushed all-of-a-sudden ending.
Koushi and momomo burn out in the first episodes and become repetitive very fast, specialy Momomo saying Koushi-dono 10 times per episode. It woldn't be a surpise if you end up hating on her.
How does the series compensate for this? Adding a mumbo jumbo of new villans every 3 episodes, villans that don't add anything but to make time for the rushed ending that is supposed to give this series a meaning.
The thing that i disliked the most was the use of CGI.
This just has one unique purpose in the series and we're going to see it a lot. Sometimes it's done so badly, it breaks the whole picture. Making the scene look horribly goofy. 2D and 3D definitely don't mix well in this anime.
The art is very basic, in the sence that character desings and backgrounds are just that, basic. Nothing new. Not a single time you'll stop the video to appreciate the image because there's nothing stunning about it. It's just ok, it's acceptable. So let's move on.
Now with all of this said, was it worth it? I'm doubting but i'll say yes. Because a strong point for this anime is it's "comedy". They're no jokes but funny scenes. And a lot of them. Very well made.
That's why i finished this series, the humor covers a little the mess of the plot, and how the series goes in circles for 22 episodes.
Some things do progress and change, the family gets "bigger" if you will.
But nobody gets what they say they want.
This was a 9 that developed as a 7 or 6.
If you're looking for a definitive ending, and not an open one. Then you should read the manga since the anime finished before it.
