I was primarily drawn to this series mainly due to it's great artwork and because it seemed like it would have a decent story as well. So now that I have watched all the episodes I can come up with one definitive conclusion.

Story. It gives us an intro and leads to the introduction of the two main characters Makoto and Erio, Erio of course being the more interesting character. She believes she's an alien sent to observe the humans, thinks she can fly and passes her days wrapped around a futon. She's rather carefree and pretty much doesn't care about the outside world other than the usual stuff like food and observance. Makoto, being the main character that he is, can't help but want to know more about her. This leads us to a climax of some sorts early in the series, while entertaining and telling, it pretty much ends there. The good story telling that is. The rest of the series is spent introducing new characters and/or doing silly stuff like launching up stuff in the air or finding Erio something productive to do. While that happens though, you get to know the characters a little bit more. Story wise, it isn't very strong, I"d say it's ok. Not too bad or not too good, just there.

Art. Lacking in story, but makes it up in the art. DOTSO has some very very nice art work. The backgrounds are detailed, the characters expressions, especially the female cast are very well done and attractive to the viewer. I give it a 9, it's done very well. A few things might bring it down, but I didn't mind much since the most important things stood out more.

Sound. I really liked the cast in this. I think they did a good job with the voice of their characters. They just seemed to fit in, which is good. Music was good as well, the opening song was pretty memorable, the ed song was also pretty memorable, but didn't like it as much, but I'm sure you'll remember it. Unique.

Characters. I give it big thumbs up. I really liked the characters. They all were interesting to some degree, except maybe Makoto and Meme who seemed to be the more predictable ones.

Enjoyment/Overall. I enjoyed it. It was entertaining with some funny moments, great artwork and great voice actors. The only downer was the story. Wish they could have moved along better with it, but overall I say it was pretty good. Could be considered a slice of life kind of show since the story isn't really complete in my opinion. I give it a low 8.
