L;DR:
Uchuu Kazoku Carlvinson is a 40-minute ova detailing the lives of Corona-chan (haha, that didn't age too well, did it?) and her adopted family of misfit alien monsters. With classic old animation, a classy soundtrack, and cute character designs, it makes for a nice ova to pop on after dinner or before bed.
This isn't the place you're going to want to run for "plot," but rather you'll see plenty of slice-of-life family activities with the visual gag of most of them being... monsters. Sure, there's a bit of tension in the last part of the ova, but overall, nothing really edge-of-my-seat exhilarating.
At the end of the day, this ova was exactly what I needed- some heartwarming 80s anime. And if that's what floats your boat, hell yeah- just give it a shot.
