This is one of the most clever anime I have seen. On the face of it is a bizarre story with lots of equally bizarre characters. I have to admit I watched, loved it but had no idea what it was about. After a few days and weeks I eventually realised what it is about and here lies the genius. Although each episode has the same characters, each one has a different moral tale such as sometimes people just need encouragement from their friends to succeed, people fear people who are different and dont't stop living until you die.
As I said the characters are bizarre, except for Makato who is normal. Makato's Aunt, Meme, takes every opportunity to make him uncomfortable sexually, Erio thinks she's an Alien, his friend Maekawa goes everywhere in Cosplay, his other friend Ryuko goes through thought processes by making imaginary basketball shots, Yashiro, a small white haired girl, claims to be an alien and esper and wears a spaceman suit but the show leaves you wondering that she might be telling the truth and Meme's friend from childhood, Ashiro, wears a cow tag as a earing. The characters are bizarre but all extremely likeable in their own way.
The animation is bright and colourful and well done although it's not innovative.
It isn't a fast paced show. It goes along at its own fun speed. However, it is a very intelligent anime. If you like anime's to spoon feed you the plot you won't like it, however, if you like to find the subtle messages anime's often have you may well love it like me.
