To start thing off,like i say in the title it is a pure comedy anime,other than comedy there are nothing much else to see.If you are not looking for a comedian then please do not watch this anime because you will mostly likely to feel that this anime as a waste of time.You will most likely know whether this anime suits you by watching the first few episodes.

Firstly,this anime strong point I think will be its character,they are refreshing because they are not typical the only typical character is only shoko and their art design are unique especially their hair design.Their personality are colourful,not as individual but as a whole bunch.All of these points about characters add on to the anime freshness and uniqueness.It does not stop here,the characters are the source of the jokes in the anime.

There are some pair of character and each pair got their own jokes.this anime jokes are made up of silly kind,romance and parody,which suits the masses but unfortunately it does not really suits me,it is not because i dislike comedy but jokes like shoko's violence and the jokes about hideyoshi's feminine,i actually feel sad and unacceptable.Thankfully,there are plenty of other jokes which i have a good laugh of time to time.This anime comedy are mostly moderate and good comedy but i like those epic kind of comedy but i still like this anime because its jokes are consistent and mostly are good.One last thing about their comedy is that i feel that this anime comedy are made up of collectively jokes,what i mean about this is that actually i have watch many of their jokes on other anime it is just that baka to test collect all of the jokes and modify them to suits the character,luckily,the jokes are nicely modify,which means that you will not feel that the old jokes are annoying or irritable.The jokes mostly are quite random,sadly which are not really suitable for me but it sure keep thing unpredictable.

This anime story are basically just above everyday live of the main protagonist,like i said nothing more than a comedy to watch.The good things about this anime story is that the ESB add some intensity to the anime,and each episode contribute one way or another to the whole anime which I think is a very important factor for a anime because many of the comedy or mixed action and comedy anime usually have some episode purely for fun and nothing else,even though it maybe funny but i feel that it is just a way to delay time.Another good thing is that the pacing are actually quite fast,i think it is good because it keep things lively and you will not feel boring or tired about the anime.

This anime mostly uses dialogue as a channel to deliver their jokes rather than action which are all smoothly done and most of them are laughable.

There are not much of bones for me to pick,if i have to pick,i would say that even though the character are unique and story are wholesome but nether the character or story makes a very deep impression or anything to like very much.Well i do understand that this is just a comedy anime but i think that every anime should have something for us to make a very nice memory with or something you really like very much.

In conclusion,this is one of the best wholesome comedy anime which serve as a good break from pervert joke,high intensity or dark element anime.Its characters are refreshing and unique,random and nicely modify jokes keeps things fresh and excitable.One final word to say is that this anime is certainly one of the gem of many anime.
