Not that Ecchi

I'm not a big fan of Ecchi, but if it goes along with a decent show, I don't mind it. And when I heard this had ecchi, I was expecting like Ikitousen levels since that was the last ecchi I saw (like 5 years ago...). But it's really not that much in the episodes I've seen. You get a little cleavage, a shot of Houki in a towel, and it's definitely meant to be sexy because they gloss it up. But it's not like "OMG this show is nothing but boobs!" Probably about the same as Vandread, which I never thought was Ecchi.

I gave the story an average rating, because it isn't particularly strong. It's not bad, just not something I expect to last more than a season or two. It doesn't explain too much why things are the way that they are, but you sort of expect it to since it's sci-fi and not so much supernatural. The dialogue is pretty good, but a little expected based on the story. Like men getting laughed at cuz we're inferior to women now or the girls cooing over the only guy. But a lot of it is funny. The characters aren't well developed, but they have the potential to be. The sister is particularly interesting, but I don't see them expanding on her that much more so that her mystery draws people in.

The animation is great. Just watching the first thirty seconds of it you can tell and then when you see the actual characters, they don't look too crazy and with it being "ecchi" you expect giant tits, but that's not really the case. A lot of them are slender and some have bigger than real life boobs, but not ones that look fake. They're well-proportioned. Overall it's fairly entertaining and I hope it doesn't get cancelled in the middle of the season and I don't know if this is based off a manga or not, but if it is I'll probably read that ahead of time because I do really like it and recommend it to everyone. You could at least try it. It's just 30 minutes out of your day for one episode...
