<rant>Ok, first off, I requested to add this series about a week ago but never received an email saying it was accepted. Next thing I notice it's been added using the info I submitted and all the episodes have been upped! Geez - I have dual audio of the whole series so I may up them as well...</end rant>

Now for the review...

This is another short series that really leaves you feeling good at the end. Yes, it has some typical romantic, comedy elements that are present in other series, but what it also has are lovable characters, a fairly cohesive plotline, and a satisfying ending.

The series titular character is really what drives the show and you'll soon find yourself in her corner, cheering her on as she tries to overcome various obstacles (and other characters) that get in her way.

There is a small amount of mature-themed content but nothing out of place or unwatchable. The animation is average but doesn't detract from the story. The music is subtle and easy to listen to - the opening theme is particularly catchy. If you watch the English dub, you'll recognize voices from Onegai Teacher among others. I felt that the dubbed version was very well done and for this series is my preferred choice.

Apparently this series must have affected others in a fairly powerful way as there are some minutely detailed reviews online (google is your friend here!) that delve into the technical side of time-travel and some of the other sci-fi elements involved.

Overall, this is a great watch and a fun escape from reality that leaves you feeling good at the end. It was a welcome addition to my anime collection!
