**Compared to the manga** The manga became everything I was looking for and goes on for much longer than the anime depicts anyway. The manga has much less noticeable fan service, actual character development, better action and just as much if not more humor at times, definitely a worthwhile read.
**Standalone** Be advised that the story actually differs immensely (and inaccurately) from the manga, presumably due to its sheer focus on boobs and panty shots. While that may be what some are looking for, I for one found its emphasis unbearable.
**Rating** I gave this a 4 because I love the actual story (manga) so much that I gave it a courtesy point. The sound is repetitive, out of place and odd. The main character is a cut-out piece of board and the girls are virtual inflatable blow-up dolls for your amusement. The attempt at a story is repetitive and predictable and the only presentable aspect of it is its rather appealing animation art. Consider myself a virtual lifeguard, as I am writing this review as a raft, hoping to save as many prospective fans from the disappointment of the anime and instead guiding them safely to the manga version :)
