I've been following this anime since its release, and here are my thoughts:

-The opening song was beautiful. I love it. It's new, refreshing, and catchy.
-The first four episodes were really good. They were really funny and lol.
-After that it gets kind of bland. It's not bland enough to become bad, but I get fewer laughts after every episode.
-Masa lol, that never gets old for me.
-Unlike Hayate no Gotoku, this is comedy not parody. Now I don't catch lots of punch lines in parodies since I'm not the kind of person who knows many Japanese culture and news or even American culture. It might be that there are more parody than comedy recently and that's why I'm not laughing as much.
-Luna turned from an annoying brat to someone intriguing and not so annoying anymore. Those songs were wonderful.
-It might be that the anime is taking a turn from comedy to drama like Nodame Cantabile, but unlike Nodame Cantabile, I don't expect it to get that serious. Or you know, maybe I just don't have a sense of humor.

I mentioned that they did a 'perfect' Terminator parody [that bathroom fight is God-like, come one!] and my friend said "You've GOT to show me" and I said, "I'll show you even if it kills you! muahahahaha"

I hope they pick it up again. You are right in that it gets less funny but the moment that "A big 2M tall man dressed in black with shades and a shotgun" description appeared, I was just clutching my guts laughing the whole way.

NO ANIME in recent few months made me laugh THIS hard. It was predictable humor and you're just sitting there wondering DO IT DO IT?! And then, they do something 'worse' lol

I'll stomach crazy, they just parodied Godzilla to a degree...

[and yeah it was GODZILLA-like... ^_^]

I think with the gags and predictable + unpredictable spoofs in this anime, this would be the funniest anime in 2007 next to Hayate the Combat Butler's 4th wall collateral damage...

BIG BUMP...

Whoever's missing out on this series really needs to check back NOW!

I'm at ep 20 and for the record [unless someone can prove me wrong, I DARE YOU], this is the best example of cross dressing misunderstanding comedy EVAR!!!

I'd say this anime ranks up there in laughs with Elf Princess Rane [to those of you who don't know that show, eternal shame upon your name...]

Each ep seems to lose more of its sanity and still manage to remain funny due to and through the stupidity of it all.

It's gotten to the point where i don't know what's going on whilst laughing. [as in, I DARE YOU to predict what'd happen next]

SAN SETO FTW!!

Please, Seto San. Use the proper naming order.

I'm waiting for the same gropu that did the good Code Geass subs but they're taking forever. They're yet to release episode 17. Great comedy, though, for once I don't really care if the guy bangs the girl or not.

ep 22.

SAN HACHI!!

Man, that getup really had me thinking they added a new character...

[shudder]

It's creepy what San's capable of doing once she sets her mind to it... :shock:
