If you look up my other reviews you’ll see I try to find something good even in the worst anime series. But it is completely impossible with this one.
This thing starts with an odd proposition – that some quite attractive girl is living in a tent in the middle of nowhere and is befriended by the most popular boy in school who just happens to turn into an animal when hugged or when emotions get too high.
Ok, from a poor start it just gets worse. There’s no story to begin with and the writing varies from poor to rotten. I never did understand why they actually produced this but my recommendation is to stay far away from this lemon.

didn’t like the DVDs at all. They leave off half way through the series. I do not suggest buying them.

I enjoyed this because I like to see personalities that can “stand strong” even in the most adverse conditions. Tohru, the main character, is exactly that personality.
That being said I do have to admit it was funny but there were few “belly laughs”. It was enjoyable but not an “anime find” that I’ll talk to others about.
In addition it isn’t the kind of anime that makes you eager to watch the next episode.
You don’t mind watching it but you’re not staying up until your eyes bleed from lack of sleep because you “have to” see what happens next.
I gave it 4 stars because it was better than OK… but still… I would say more like 3.5 stars…
I can’t think of anything to compare this anime to. It’s like a reverse harem anime where a girls is the center and men are her harem.
Also there are some strangely feminine male characters. Momeeji being one who is all cuddly cute but is a boy who wears girls close (earrings and all).
Would I buy it again after seeing it? Most likely…
Did I rush home from work to see what is happening in the next episode? No …
This is a casual fun easy to watch anime.

A Series I think has a good message hidden beneath it, but the villian is truly one heartless bastard. It’s a good thing the main character is so kind-hearted and cute. Which is a strong combination against anything.
