Take any typical harem anime with ecchi and some romance.
Strip almost everything related to its story and characters.
Maximize its ecchi especially the Gainaxing and the number of sexual innuendos. Apply Sigmund Freud's theories related to psychosexuality
Condense its length. Simplify it until ANYONE from the general public can understand it.

This is an alternative to Hentai (anime porn) called Eiken. It fails as an adaptation but somewhat succeeds as a standalone for humor only. The main reason for the given rating is that it tried to have a story instead of almost completely focusing on its supposed comedic parody of the three genres. Its length is not enough to have a conventional story and character but has enough for comedy.

There are numerous plot holes regarding the behavior of its characters, setting, and the story itself. Typical male harem lead suddenly gains a one dimensional harem and has a relationship with the female lead. Suddenly, every major character takes interest in the male lead for unknown reasons despite his generic and absence of redeemable qualities.

As for the story, it can be simplified as this:
Boy meets Girl -> They gradually get closer -> Their relationship is challenged for whatever reason -> Main lead gets emotional support -> Main lead goes to the final showdown -> Main lead wins and their relationship is implied to be fixed. Happily Ever After!

The only plausible explanation for everything is simply the main appeal of this title: fan service especially the BREASTS of its female characters. It is completely maximized in both episodes. Gainaxing is an understatement so I'll replace it with "Eikening," ultimate form of fanservice that is not softcore hentai. Every Gainax Bounce could start a small short earthquake because of breast size or it could hurt your heart because it is overdone.
It is potentially hilarious but deadly to the weak-hearted or haters of fan service.

The humor is done blatantly through disproportionate bodies, weird clothing, and unusual positions. It is a hit-or-miss, depending on your tolerance to perversion, exaggerated features, lack of story, and originality. The misunderstandings and ecchi scenes are entertaining for its length.
What limits the enjoyment are is Plot Induced Stupidity and generic plot.

Art is about average. Characters have average designs but some features are exaggerated (BREASTS). Conventional sizes don't apply here.
"Eikening" is done well. Backgrounds are mediocre but used welll. Use of frames, timing, and movements are fair.

Sound is average. The opening and ending theme songs fit the lighthearted aspects of the show but forgettable. Voice acting is fine and fits the personalities of all of its characters. BGM and sound effects fit the given situations but don't stand out.

It might not be memorable anymore with the increasing number of ecchi titles but it is a good try to be different.

Overall, nice try anime industry but typical hentai stories have a passable story and cast compared this.
Recommended only for ecchi lovers.
