This show is a gem. Right off the bat, it hits the viewer with an interesting premise and runs with it, showing off a great case of characters and cool Sunrise style animation.
It seems specially geared for western tastes, with its caped crusader superheroes and golden age comic book style plots.
Though the larger arcs are somewhat lacking, this flaw is minor compared the excitement of the individual episodes. Definitely one of the best shows of the Spring and Summer 2011 season.

Finishing this series, I'm disappointed, but the fact that I cared in the first place is a point in its favor.
It's difficult to really judge these harem fanservice shows. They give what they should give, but they rarely give me what I want, and maybe I'm expecting too much. It's a perfectly enjoyable rom com. Everything is as it should be. The general characters archetypes, the twist within the premise, likeable enough characters, and enough humor to get by. Yet, the "romance" part seems... lacking. This is more an issue with the genre as a whole then Mayo Chiki. Genuine romantic resolution always seems out of grasp. ... |
