Mixed Feelings
Well, it's just like any other cute girls doing cute things anime. However, unlike some of the bad ones, it is interesting enough to not feel that bored while watching. However, it doesn't bring much else to the table, it's just a show that classifies as worthy of wasting your time with. It's truly nothing special at all.

The characters are pretty likable, I was especially fond of the rich-turned-poor girl, the servant and the maid. The girl that was kinda dark on the inside was interesting as well. If I had to say something though, it's that I really didn't like the sister of the blonde girl who is clueless and has the super cliché "cooks toxic waste out of anything" trait. She was still bearable though compared to some other characters. I absolutely hated the glutton futaba and I hated her pretentious sister even more, such annoying characters.

I really didn't like the "gag" that we see EVERY TIME futaba shows up. She's a "black hole" that can eat inhumane amounts of food. The author thought this was so damn hilarious that we have to see her wolfing down portions of food at least three-four times the size of a human stomach, sometimes even ten times or more when she feels like going for real, and this is followed by her still not being even slightly full and itching to eat more. It gets old the second time it's shown and it gets increasingly more annoying as so many gags are based around it, seeing her stacking 5 or so HUGE bread/pastry loafs when eating lunch wasn't funny, it was just an eyesore, especially since, for some reason, they were eating or spending time dealing with food almost every single scene, be it in school, part time jobs, trips to the ocean or on the way home from school etc, it's just that the food is there for no good reason. I curse her to get fat enough to stop elevators from moving, but I guess that won't happen, because she clearly she has a disease where everything she eats goes straight through her arse after absorbing 1% of the calories. Wouldn't surprise me if you said she has no stomach and instead just has a wide and short intestine connecting her mouth to her arse.

That brings me to the next issue, it's extremely, extremely repetitive. Not the good type of repetitive that throws in some new parts, they do the same joke over and over and over again without any additional parts that would make it funny. It's as if the author is completely incapable of making up new gags and sticks to the same old ones, which also makes the characters feel very shallow and unrealistic because they just have this one gig they're doing and nothing else. It gets to the point where I was really happy that the show ended after watching 12 episodes, because I honestly wouldn't be able to take more of this after watching 12 of them.

On a good note though, the art is pretty nice, the music isn't below average and it provided what it was supposed to, some mindless enjoyment for fans of this type of show. Despite being ridiculously shallow and repetitive even for a slice of life like this, it still managed to be watchable and reasonably enjoyable unlike many other shows that made me drop them after a few episodes. I recommend this show if you have nothing better to watch at the moment, though it might be best to drop it after 6-8 episodes, because it truly just repeats the exact same scenes over and over again. If this was a show with just 4-5 episodes, it might be worth a 7/10.
