If you're looking for a redeeming story, or a harem with redeeming characters, leave now. Despite being heavily popular in the Doujinshi scene, I have to say that this series does not live up to the fanbase. In fact, from the doujinshi I've seen, I have to say that the story for this is actually worse than from what I can parse out from those works.
Story: I read the Light Novel out of curiosity, and I feel it was better carried out there, not that it was at all good. The presentation of this section wasn't even trying to create the light and happy
...
hallucination he was having. Also, the part where the girls were puking when he woke up, I had hoped they were going to be tasteful and do that shit off-screen, but no. There are pervs for this show, but I don't think (most) want to see them puke like that. It wasn't even comedic when they did. Also, the concept of making some dastardly concoction out of food is just over the top and ridiculous. As I said, story is not this thing's strongsuit. And as a glimpse of the later plot...to give you a sense of where this show will go, a chapter in the first Volume of the Light Novel was left out of the Manga because they talk about rape and other terrible things, with the characters saying (although a bit out of context) "If you can't think of anything, resort to rape." So they do. Imagine what else this great literary mind can flesh out.
Art: Gorgeous in stills, but never has worked for me in terms of animation. Sure, I like girls looking hot, but I don't like every singly girl looking hot at every second. It also just feels to light and happy, which is an issue I felt with Denpa. Both series had the same artist doing the character modelling, so it's no surprise. Should I also be surprised that both of these have disastrous plots?
Sound: That OP... also, I actually have an issue with the voicing. The Light Novel describes Yazora as having a voice that is not too high pitched, and yet not too low pitched. However, her voice seems to be leaning on the low pitched side. It sounds way too mature for her character, not to say that ANY of these characters are mature, nor that she's loli status either. Next, Sena has that annoying voice actress, whose voice is always too high pitched and screechy. I didn't exactly listen to anyone else, though.
Character: Cardboard cut-outs mingling for stupid reasons and doing stupid, sometimes out of base cardboard cut-out things. Sure they look good, but that's only good for doujinshi or otherwise cock-teasing, but in terms of actually getting a story across, it's terrible.
Enjoyment: I skipped through this. I couldn't bear watching it.
Overall: A stupid clusterfuck showing how few ideas are out in the Light Novel and Anime industry, and moreso what little it takes to write a "good" light novel. This thing got awards, ranking in 2nd and 4th place. For something this awful to make it up even to those ranks is just terrible.
