*** General Points ***
At 11 minutes an episode for 12 episodes, this show ends up being roughly the length of a movie.
From the audacious (and perverse) characters and sometimes immature humor it isn't a show for everyone, but if by episode 4 you haven't been repulsed, then you will most likely continue to enjoy the show.
By far, the greatest part about this show is the ending theme song, which is infinitely catchy. I would recommend spending the 1 minute of life on youtubing it. Even if you have no intention of watching the show it would be a pity to pass up that
...
catchy tune.
*** Story ***
I found that the story was, in many places, metaphorical after you strip away the ridiculousness. For example, everyone has read in the synopsis that the main character is a toilet seat designer. This would otherwise be completely ridiculous, however, if you say, "He is a businessman and in the eyes of his family whom he neglects due to overwork, he might as well be selling toilet seats," things can make more sense. Another example is his drinking and chasing after women is a coping strategy for his stress and not his aloof nature portrayed humorously.
This story is all about the depressed main character fighting to protect his daughter and his love for her.
*** Animation ***
This feels like a budget project. Things seem hastily drawn and there will be no scenes that truly scream, "Beautiful." Rather, this show really focuses on it's core, which is humour. The animation is a mere medium used to only convey the story.
So if you watch shows mainly for good graphics like "Attack on Titan" this will leave you disappointed. On the other hand, if you like shows like "Kaiba" then this show seems to embody the concept of ... story > animation ... it will leave you satisfied.
There are many places throughout the entire show where I couldn't help, but think, "Ah, the animators are breaking the fourth wall and trying to pass off their animator insider jokes to their colleagues."
*** Characters ***
The main character is a very loving and protective father placed in a desperate and depressing situation.
The only character that isn't stupid, gross, perverted, depressing, or otherwise bizarre is Min-chan, the daughter of our main character.
All the antagonists are gag characters, but they serve their purposes. Chicken, shrimp, monkey, "the wife", prince, demon king.
*** Sound ***
Once again, that ending them is just too wonderful. Besides that everything else is mediocrity.
*** Enjoyment ***
I cringed and laughed throughout this show. Sometimes the humor was hard to swallow and the characters too depressing, but overall it was a surprisingly okay story better than 6/10, but less than 8/10.
