While the concept of the show was something iv'e never heard before, i found the whole thing to be rather mediocre.
The story was typical of a shonen, nothing that special. It's the setting that really makes this show stand out. The ludicrousness of people beating each other up for half-priced lunches was quite enjoyable. I especially liked how the characters took it so seriously. Unfortunantly, the characters were nothing special. They were all basic archetypes. I felt they might've been trying to make fun of the common anime archetypes but i fail to see where they ... put any satire in.
The art style was nothing special but i enjoyed the animation quite a bit. It was nicely colored and very fluid. The fights were beautifully animated and easy to follow! Very nice on the eyes! The music i found a bit lacking. When it wasn't the standard J-pop it was this weird auto-tuned stuff that really did not appeal to me. However, it did a good job at setting the mood and i can forgive a lot for that.
There were a few things in this show that rubbed me the wrong way. The fact that the only lesbian character is portrayed as a cold, heartless molester defiantly is no good. There are scenes where characters are clearly being touched in ways that they do not like and these scenes are framed in a funny or sexy manner. This is not okay and it really just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
However, despite its flaws the show can be quite enjoyable in parts. If you're into silly shonens with boobies bouncing all over the place, i'd say give it a watch.

This was one of the most enjoyable viewing experiences I've ever had with an anime.

The story was simple and easy to follow, yet executed well enough to not just hold my attention, but suck me in. The action was outstanding. The fights were easy to follow and beautifully animated. The story around the fights never dragged, never got boring. The music was fantastic; fit the mood perfectly and was just a pleasure to listen to. With 5 episodes, you'd think the characters would either have little to no personality or have an incredibly rushed back story. Nope. The animation is some of the best ... I've seen period. It just had this flow to it that I have never seen anywhere else. The style was quite different from the usual anime as well. All in all, this is perfection; a must see.

Your standard shojo, Aishiteruze Baby is about Kippei, a teenage ladies man, who comes home one day to find that he is now in charge of taking care of his kid cousin Yuuzyu. This anime is packed to the brim with “Aww” moments. So if you like cute shows definantly check it out but beware; this anime takes several extremely dark turns. The romance scenes are cute despite the love interest being pretty cold to Kippei (but with his reputation that doesn’t surprise me). The art was mediocre at best and the music was your normal shojo stuff. I am not a shojo fan. ... Therefore, i did not enjoy this shojo. It was alright i guess... just not my cup of tea.

Another series by pure awesomeness incarnate Gainax. Abenobashi is a crazy adventure about two tweens, Arumi and Sasshi, who somehow get sucked into an alternate dimension and their quest to get back home. Each alternate dimension is a parody of a certain genera. Reminiscent of other Gainax works such as FLCL, this series is pure wacky perverted humor though Abenobashi defiantly has a more easy to follow plot. And, of course, the animation is beautiful. So if you like action shows and perverted randomness check it out!
