Do I think people are absolutely overreacting about this anime? Absolutely. I don't really understand the hate for this anime besides the weird switch between 3D and 2D animation, with there being weird stills or shifts in animation and just the production of the show in general.
The story was solid. I didn't feel as though it was disjointed, made no sense, or had unrealistic expectations for plot progression. The way the anime went about discovering new shards, sure, could have been more optimized if we had more source material and/or a longer show adaptation, but neither of those was the case. Every organization's response to
...
each of the problems they encountered was fair and I liked seeing the differences in reaction to each scenario presented with the shards.
Instead, we got a show not only with interesting characters whose backstories not only made sense but anchored us in pathos so we actually gave a damn about what happened to them. There are so many shows out there that have high scores which had abysmal characters and an awful story, yet this show has none of those and the score is so low? I really think people are shallow on this website.
In short, give this show a try. It's really not as awful as people are making it out to be. Yeah, it's not a masterpiece, but it's not something I would say is a "bad show" or "the next ex-arm."

I've seen a review on here that put this anime at a 10, and that's honestly a crock of bullshit.
This anime pissed me off so much to the point that I HAD to make a review about it. Why? Because I needed to vent this all out and get my rage out.
THIS IS NOT A SPOILER FREE REVIEW. And why would you want to waste a whole hour watching this trash anyways?
Story: 1
Absolutely pathetic. In the beginning, it started out as a nice love story, but not a lot of things were connected. A lot of points were unexplained and they made a piss-poor attempt
...
to connect things in the story even when they tried to develop it. That being said, many questions were left unanswered and the supernatural elements in the story did absolutely nothing to help it out.
For some background, Kuttsukiboshi is about 2 "lovely" girls by the name of Aaya Saitou and Kiiko Kawakami. Kawakami has the supernatural power of telekinesis brought on by a car accident, as explained in the series. Does it make sense? Nope! But does anything really in this anime? Definitely not.
As it turns out, Aaya is the only one who knows about Kiiko's powers, and makes her do "experiments," which I assume she didn't exactly sign up for. Just like some other things in the series. But I'll indicate which section of this review is spoilers for people who don't want to read it.
I felt as though yuri was thrown in here just for the hell of it. This could have been a very interesting plot to go along with, maybe Aaya blackmailing Kiito for some reason? And it turns out Kiiko is in love with Aaya and for some odd reason, they hook up about 4 times in the first episode. Ridiculous. No explaination, no reasoning, and no feelings were put forth. They're honestly just fuck buddies in this anime.
HERE'S WHERE THE SPOILERS COME. DON'T READ ON IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO WATCH THIS TRASH.
The plot twists in this anime were so lackluster and dumb that I honestly had to hold in my barf when I saw the "ultimate twist" that separated these two in the first place. So, in the first episode, they've been hooking up for awhile and they constantly stay at each other's houses and pleasure each other in the library while Aaya is doing experiments on Kiito, right? All hunky dory? Not really.
One day Kiito is on the train and realizes she's missing her phone and remembers she forgot it at Aaya's house when she last stayed there. No explaination to where she was going or how she even got off, but the next scene we see is in front of Aaya's door when she's ringing the doorbell. The door is locked and she uses her powers to get into the door. Not only is that trespassing, but literally the only practical use of her power ever since the anime started.
When she goes into Aaya's room, she discovers her naked in front of her brother. It looks like they're having sex. At this point, I am so heavily disgusted that I sympathized with Kitto when her eyes widened in shock and she dropped her bag on the ground. Yeah, I know. What an idiot to leave her shit there. But I honestly understood because seeing the girl you evidently love making sweet incestual love with her brother that you idolize because he's a piano player is quite shocking.
This is the driving force that separates them and this is honestly when I started to lose interest. But I pressed on. I believed this anime could get better and we could get some explaination as to why this happened. Would it excuse the fact that there was incest in this anime? No, but I still wanted an answer to the sin I had to view on the screen.
Eventually, Kiiko is stupid enough to meet up in the classroom they always do the fucking in, and she finds her neglected bag on the counter and finds a note in it. It says "You'll find your phone in the PE storage room." She's confused, and I am too. I had no idea what was going to happen, but I was soon to find out and be even more confused and appalled at what direction this anime was going.
When she goes in there, she's hella confused, and I feel the same way. But someone comes up behind her and puts a chloroform cloth over her mouth and nose and she's eventually knocked out. When she awakens, she's tied up and scared out of her mind. And who's the one who tied her up and drugged her? It's fucking Aaya.
At this point, we see there's bags upon bags of food in the PE storage room and the door is padlocked shut with a combination lock. Great. When she finds out it's Aaya, Aaya shuts her up with a kiss, and Kiiko keeps using her powers to throw things at her, and yells stop, and tries to get her off of her. But wow, guess what happens and guess what I insinuate from this scene in the anime?? Aaya fucking rapes Kiiko.
And she KEEPS DOING IT WHEN THEY'RE IN THE STORAGE ROOM FOR DAYS. D A Y S. SHE KEEPS HER IN THERE FOR DAYS TIED UP AND FEEDS HER AND THERE'S THIS ONE SCENE. THIS ONE SCENE. WHERE SHE FEEDS HER SOMETHING AND KIIKO SAYS, "Why aren't you eating," AND THEN AAYA SAYS, "I'll have some," AND THEY SWAP SPIT AND FOOD AND IT'S HONESTLY THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I'VE SEEN IN AN ANIME SO FAR. AND I'VE SEEN KISS X SIS.
But skipping ahead and getting that over with, we find out the reason Aaya was doing it with her brother is because he was going to die soon and that's honestly the most shitty reason ever. She LET him rape HER. And now she's going around raping Kiiko and it's honestly the most fucked up cycle in the entire world and I am so disappointed that the studio that produced this even LET Naoya Ishikawa write this fucking thing. It's awful!
And the end makes no fucking sense because apparently after she's treated like shit, Kiiko still wants to be with Aaya even after she LEFT JAPAN. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN FREE. But no, some supernatural bullshit let her be magically "teleported" to the damn plane Aaya was on, and then they land on this other planet bullshit and the cliches start rolling in and I wanted to kill myself when I finished this anime!
Just please don't watch it. Whatever you do.
Art: 5
I will admit, it is a different sort of style compared to everything else I've seen, but it's not the greatest. A lot of animation in this anime wasn't fluid enough. It looked like a middle schooler in a beginning animation class put together this shit unlike a freelance animator. He could have done so much more to make this OVA be the best in animation, but I honestly think he did sub-par compared to masterpieces of animation like the scenery in Attack on Titan, or Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru, for example.
Sound: 5
I liked the music, don't get me wrong, but it was overly melodramatic in certain scenes. The ending songs made it out to be this fluffy romantic shoujo ai, but in reality it's a piss poor attempt at making a yuri and it didn't do the anime justice at ALL.
Characters: 1
The characters in this anime are so one-dimensional, with no development, no purpose, no drive, NO CHARACTERIZATION WHATSOEVER. We never find out any motives of why the characters did what they did, why Kiito even liked Aaya in the first place other than she's pretty, why Aaya's brother was dying, OR EVEN WHY AAYA'S BROTHER EVEN LOVED HIS OWN SISTER. These characters make me so fucking angry and they are the worst in my opinion. I have one word to sum this anime's characters up. BLAND.
Enjoyment: 3
Now, I will admit, in the beginning, I liked this anime. I was enjoying the fluffy romance and cute interaction, and I wanted to see if this anime could get better, but no, it didn't. It just got worse and worse and spiraled my consciousness into the void. Nothing made sense, nothing was cleared up, and frankly, nothing about this anime made me want to continue watching. I was just begging for this to be over. I'm glad it was only 2 episodes. Saved me from all the shit it could have been if it were, say, a 12 episode or even 26 episode series.
Overall: 1
I cannot stand this anime. This is honestly the worst thing I have ever seen in any type of media. This even beats Diabolik Lovers for me, and that is honestly the most awful shit I've seen too. But this anime fucking takes the cake. At least the animation in Diabolik Lovers was good, and the music was superb, and the voice work was wonderful. This anime? Lackluster, bland, appalling, and overall just utter shit.
Don't watch this. Please. I'm begging you. Watch something good, like Bartender, or Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok.

Overall, this anime was pretty enjoyable to watch because of its mild humor and tendency to overflow with cutesy themes.
The plot of Binzume Yousei, or in English, Bottle Fairy, revolves around 4 fairy girls named Sarara, Chiriri, Kururu, and Hororo, who are trying to become human by learning about the outside world and how humans live. With help from the one who looks after them, called "Sensei-san," they do just that. But, in the process, their neighbor, a 7-8 year old girl named Tama-chan, misinterprets some of the things humans do, and passes it off as advice to the fairies.
This gets repeated in each episode,
...
as the fairies learn valuable information that could lead them to become humans.
I think this series could be completely enjoyable to someone who loves anime that can make them laugh, as there is mild humor in it. But if you like more serious anime that actually follows the story well, then I wouldn't go for this anime at all.
I liked this anime because of the abundance of adorability and the music. The opening theme is completely amazing, and I enjoyed the art that the creators put forth into doing.
Overall, I'd give this anime about a 8 out of 10. Very enjoyable for me, and I recommend it to people who like comedy anime.
