It's the only anime that can even be compared to a sitcom, and it is funnier than the majority of them. I love this show cause I am guaranteed to laugh every episode.
*Must not have a problem reading subtitles because it uses a lot of japanese references that you must read as well as the humor is often in the text/dialogue and not in the animation itself.
