Sum it up in three words: Innovative, Cramps, Ninomiya-kun
This is going to be the first time that I will actually write a proper review, because I think this anime deserves one. Judging from its ranking, it is not so high, but I think this is one of the most under-rate anime today. There are so many people out there who tries to make funny anime, a lot of them are slapstick, and a lot of them are just so annoying because they try to be funny when they are not. (Hayate the Combat Butler for example) When an comedy anime is not funny, it is
...
unforgivable. This doesn't apply to Minami-ke though.
Story: (No rating) This is not really an anime with a storyline, it is, as it says, the daily lives of three sisters. It is not something extra-ordinary, no espers and great big evil plots, it is EASY TO FOLLOW and laidback.
Art: At first I thought it wasn't very good, but as you get used to them, you will really start to like the style. I especially like how they draw the mouth, I think it is very cute! The people who wrote this anime also used DIFFERENT style of drawing at different situations, for example, when they are giving each other "evils" the art suddenly starts to become more mature and real, to make fun of the character's body language. tbh, there are a lot of original comedy that no one else has ever thought of, which is why I recommend it.
Sound: Well, the opening
Character: In an anime that deals mainly in character-development, it does it outstandingly. At first sight, you will instantly fall in love with the contrasting personalities of the characters and you will "yearn" for how they interact. You will learn about new characters but the main focus is on the three sisters. It is ESPECIALLY good that one sister goes to primary school, another secondary and the third - high school. So there are things that the youngest sister don't understand such as she doesn't know what "doing naughty things" mean, while being teased by others. CLASSICAL. That is only to name one of many moments.
Enjoyment: “Sensei and Ninomiya-kun” <<< when you watch it, just look out for that. EVERY EPISODE, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD SO MANY TIMES. (In three years of watching Anime, I have NEVER laughed at an anime because it was funny, NEVER) Everything the characters do are very spontaneous but yet believable in a real life situation. Everything from cross-dressing to bikinis, you would never have guessed. IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE YOU.
Overall - I am not a person who really like comedy anime, I prefer the more deeper, emotional side of anime, so based on my reference, I can only give it a respectable 8. But if you love your comedy, you will definitely love this. (and if you don't prefer the comedy genre, this anime may give you a different outlook but be prepared to get cramps from laughing too much.

BEAUTIFUL
I have just watched it for the first time, and after this review, I'm watching it again, it is midnight already, but this is such a beautiful "dream" I can watch it many times. I said "dream" because you might think this is an anime and these things don't happen in real life, well if you never dream, you'll never have the power to make a dream into reality. So this movie really inspired me.
It is one of, if not THE, best anime movie/series every written. EVER WRITTEN. I judge anime by emotional responce and gosh this was good. I could feel how the character
...
feel, I can experience the pain and heartaches. This anime is simply beautiful because it is so real - it reflects how forbidden love actually is, not in myths, but in real life. So moving, it is incredible.
Story 10/10
The idea of the whole movie was good enough to score an 8 on its own, two person, who just want to be together is physically separated and they forever try to get close to each other but even then the time together is limited. Yet they still try and try, because they expect nothing in return, simply a glance of that person is enough. That is what this was all about, time-enduring love, love that no longer exists in today's world. And to top it off, the sequence of how the main characters, whoever they go out with, always think about each other; and then when they got back together in the end when there thought to be no hope left is simply beautiful.
Art and Sound 10/10
The whole movie is beautiful, and mostly it is because of the brilliant graphics and sounds, it gives me an urge to live in Japan everytime I hear the streets and trains. Perfect sound in my opinion. And the style of how they drew the characters, some may say it is not "unique" or new, like they do in Toradora or Code Geass; but that is the BEAUTY of it, on the outlook, we are not "unique", but inside, we have something that nobody has, and that is why I think this anime is trying to tell us.
Character 10/10
Totally lovable, I'm really glad it is not one of those films where you start hating the male character because he cries too much or they get emotional too quickly or the male is being stupid. Perfect, the timing and their reactions. Perfect.
Enjoyment 10/10
Watch it for the story, if not watch it for the arts, if not watch it because it will enlighten your day.
Be sure to watch it with an open heart! Enjoy it, it is BEAUTIFUL.

I don't know what it is about this anime, but it is one of the most enjoyable anime around. Nothing stands out in particular, but everything just clicks together.
Story: Well there really isn't that much of a story yet, we are still getting to know the characters, but the plot so far, without giving it away has been very exciting and funny in many parts.
Art: I love this style of drawing, especially the EYES. The pictures really create the atmosphere that enhance the series even more.
Sound: No comment, don't really know how.
Character: If you watch it, you will fall in love with the two protagonist
...
STRAIGHT AWAY
Enjoyment: Top of the class
Really watch it, watch it watch it.
N.B. By what I have written, you'd probably think it is some lighthearted anime that someone put together without much thought, but it is far from that, watching some of it again, this is a masterpiece put across to us in a way we can relate to (not abstract)
