4.0 out of 5 stars Ah... Now I'm Getting It, August 10, 2008

By	L. B. Bryant "Webmaster of OtakuReview.net" (Astoria, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While the characters and story have yet to win me over, the pace at which they are moving forward is hard to ignore. While the comedy rarely made me laugh out loud, I did get enough chuckles from the writing to be interested in exploring more. I'm not enthusiastic about this series but so far it hasn't shown any reason not to move forward with it. This is really coming across as a series that won't be for everyone though and casual anime fans will probably get lost in all the cultural references. Make this one a rental.
