Story wise, it's really good. It has one giant plot in the show, a good one at that, and a bunch of mini-stories in every episode, like in one of the episodes, Tomoki has to escape his house completely covered in panties. Funny, but the reason he has to escape is because they have a spell on them that causes them to literally explode if he so much as looks at them. So there are stories like that, and the final few episodes kind of revolves around the main plot.
Artwork was awesome. The setting that the characters live in was really beautiful, small town with a giant cherry tree sitting in a giant field surrounded by forests and mountains, a perfect place to go and relax. Tomoki's character art kind of took me off guard because for at least half of the show, he's in a chibified state, mostly when those awkward moments in echii's come around, or when he's acting like a pervert. Girls on the other hand, all of them were drop dead gorgeous. Ikaros is my personal favorite. She's beautiful.
I liked the sound effects in the show whenever there were action scenes, and the bouncing sounds whenever those "That's what makes this an echii" scenes come around. I liked all of the voice actors, there wasn't one character that I hated. Greg Ayres was perfect for his role as Tomoki, Brittney Karbowski (A personal favorite voice actress) had Ikaros' personality down to an art, all of the actors and actresses fit their characters perfectly.
Characters, as I may have described a few to you before, are all funny as heck. Tomoki's perverted personality is what got me laughing over 3/4ths of the time alone, Ikaros had that lovable and sweet vibe coming from her the entire time, Nymph was a brat at first and I found her annoying, but as she kind of came into the show more and more I learned to love her, and Sohara and her Karate Chops have a place in my heart forever.
I enjoyed this show entirely. It was probably the funniest thing I've seen since I watched Chobits. TV-MA might be over exaggerating a little bit, maybe a high TV-14 at maximum, but this was completely fine to watch, even with my 9th grade friend. That's just a little heads up for those who are looking and debating whether they should watch it or not due to the rating. This anime is completely awesome to watch, and those who wont watch it will most likely regret it if they don't give it a chance. It's probably the best thing I've watched this year next to Clannad and A Bridge to the Starry Skies.
I hope this review helped.
