In the end I enjoyed this, but it was something I almost dropped. It seems to come off as a young audience skewing show at first with it's presentation, such as with the canned transformation, but then as it went on it seemed to skew older with some of it's jokes and gags.
It ended up working well for me as something to watch before turning in for the night, but I'm not sure it'd be easy to recommend either ~_~ |

Oh, highlighting the transformation sequence as a positive, then? Interesting.
I don't want to come off as a transformation sequence hater, but I think they work better when they, you know, actually feature the transformation in question. This might be confusing to imagine for people who haven't watched the anime, but... Puniru has a whole bevy of alternate forms, but only one "transformation sequence," which goes on for for a minute before doing a fancy wipe fade to a unique ending scene for the transformation of the day, and by "scene" I mean 2-3 close-ups and 1 money shot, none of which are really animated. Kind of defeats the point of these if you ask me. |

Man, I loved this show; and I for one am greatly looking forward to season 2! It was a bit of a dark horse for me. I skipped it at first, but I ended up binging it halfway through the season. Sure, there isn't much development, but it fit nicely into the brainless low-stakes, comfort watch I need in my life. Solid animation and voice acting, ridiculous humor, and a cast full of useless idiots. That's all I need, really.

I honestly found myself falling for this show in-spite of myself, just like Kotaro did for Puniru. The animation, the direction, the comedy, the transformations...all of it worked so well.

I haven't watched the show yet, but the front page blurb (from the first paragraph of the review) caught my eye.
I've seen a lot of clips online and I never got this impression from them. I was thinking this show was closer to the likes of Puni Puni Poemi or Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan, just a lot of over the top gags and shock humor strung together as a story (not that there's anything wrong with that).
