But then again, it's GAINAX and sometimes, that's enough for me. (Am I making sense? All I wanted to say is that I stayed with the series till the end and hundreds of other anime episodes hence, I can still remember it, if not with fondness, then with a clarity other series can't even hope to attain.)

The only thing I really like are Hikari and Akari's character designs, the OP animation and the cat that appeared in episode three.

It seems a bit strange that they'd make a show that's intended for one type of audience, but left the 'substance' until the end and marketed it as a show intended for another type of fan. If they're not careful they'll end up with a series that appeals to neither!

Then again, if you enjoyed Mahoromatic I suppose you should be able to enjoy this as well. I wasn't a fan of Mahoromatic or this show. It's mostly fanservice and then it tries to cram a story into the last 2 episodes with a, well, not-so-GAINAXY ending (and I'm one of the seemingly rare few that love GAINAX's "WTF" endings, so long as I can make sense of them)... It really made me feel like I wasted my time with it, since I'm not into fanservice anime and I was only "putting up with it" to get to something with more substance. Though perhaps our opinions will differ in this case. Hmm, should I ruin your hopes? Then again, if you enjoyed Mahoromatic I suppose you should be able to enjoy this as well.
