Plots(1)

Yuko and Mio are normal schoolgirls who lead ordinary lives and cope with day-to-day matters. Their friends, however, are not that normal: Mio's crush Kojiro brings a goat and butler to school even though his parents are farmers; Kojiro is constantly attacked by his female classmate Misato, who is also in love with him; Mai is a quiet friend but an inveterate prankster; a child genius known only as the Professor, who built her own parental guardian, the schoolgirl Nano. Added to the zany mix are the talking cat Sakamoto, the nervous teacher Izumi Sakurai and the deer-wrestling Principal Shinonome. In spite of all the insanity around the girls still manage to lead their regular affairs of work and play with sanity, as it's all just a part of life itself. (FUNimation)

English "This show is excellent, goofy, and cute as hell." I am going to borrow this accurate description of this anime series from the reviewer Subjektiv because it is perfect. Some of the jokes are truly brilliant, others are brilliantly over-the-top, and even with the weaker moments, it still comes off as almost not boring at all. The cuteness is self-explanatory. The girls Yuuko Aioi, Mio Naganohara, and Izumi Sakurai, plus the young professor (scientist) are just incredible. However, like some, I will mention that it loses its sense of originality over time, and the drive just does not sustain, unlike Azumanga Daioh. Still, it is a very good, funny, and cute show, however, I know better, so I am "only" going to award 8/10. ()
