Synopsis

After her crush brutally rejected her, basically calling her ugly, Sunako Nakahara took it personally, like, retreated-into-darkness-and-became-obsessed-with-horror-dolls-and-anatomy-models personally. She's a gloomy, gore-loving recluse who gets nosebleeds around attractive people because beauty literally repulses her. Then her aunt ships her off to live in a mansion with four ridiculously good-looking guys: Kyohei, Ranmaru, Takenaga, and Yuki, but and tells them to turn Sunako into a refined lady or their rent triples. You can probably guess how well that goes. The 25-episode TV series from Nippon Animation is this chaotic tug-of-war where the boys keep trying to civilize Sunako while she keeps dragging everyone into her creepy little world. The art style actually shifts between gothic chibi Sunako and her normal form depending on her mood, which is a weirdly effective visual gag that never gets old. Underneath all the comedy, there's a genuine thread about beauty standards and self-acceptance that gives it more weight than you'd expect. If you liked the reverse harem energy and humor of Ouran High School Host Club, this hits a similar sweet spot but darker and weirder. Fans of Fruits Basket's slow character growth through comedy will find something here too, though the tone is way more unhinged. It's a shoujo comedy that's not afraid to let its heroine be genuinely strange, and that's what makes it work.

burrbragreferee3★★★☆☆Anime

Ater taking nearly 4 months to complete, this show finally got the last episode subtitled. So, what were my thoughts? Story The story started off great. Four guys need money to pay rent, so their landlord asks them to "turn this crazy girl into an actual lady". Eh, not an amazing story, but sounds funny. I'd probably have given it more than a 6 if it actually went anywhere. But, it didn't really progress, nor did we get to see much happen from the start until the end. Art Prepare to be swamped by constant chibi characters. Odd models and bland scenes..the art is something to be desired. Sound Nothing special. The opening and ending didn't stand out to me, nor did any background music. Could have been a lot better. Character The saving grace for this show. Without the male lead and the female lead, this anime would have sucked. I enjoyed learning a little bit about each character's past. I wouldn't say any character really evolves though, as they're pretty much static throughout. I guess the female lead changes a bit (doesn't she have to?). Enjoyment Funny, happy, I had a good time watching this. There are tons of "worthless" episodes that don't progress the flow of the story at all, but whatever. Overall If you're looking for a brainless anime that will make you chuckle every so often, check this out. There's better out there though.
