Review:

   This anime was very unique with it's plot line and the way the characters developed. I was not expecting some of the twists to the story. I didn't have any episodes I found boring, and though common with the genre, there weren't any redundant episodes. Though that may have to do with the fact that there are only 12 episodes... I am always fond of the sort of ignorant characters - or at least the seemingly so - and Kotaro was the PERFECT example of that. Not only is he unaware of Chinami's feelings, but of Sonomi's feelings. The comedy in this show would have to be Sonomi's misunderstandings of different situations. Which is totally understandable, because sometimes Chinami and Kotaro's wording is not very well thought out....

   I liked the entire concept of this anime, they toke a very complicated idea and kind of smooshed it into a cute school-girl anime. Sadly, there is not much I can say that won't ruin the surprises or the story-line, which sort of says something about the anime in itself. I said that the episodes weren't redundant, and they were not, but they are not jam packed with action.

   I know I am putting this in the romantic action section, but that is purely because it contains action, yes, but it leans towards si-fi. Thus, it is squished in with action.

   So yes, this is a cute, short anime that you will not regret watching. There are little cute moments that make me blush slightly, so it's satisfying in that department. 

  I also mentioned how I love ignorant characters, but this is because they develope further than other characters. I believe this is one of the reasons I liked this anime.

    The main concentration with this anime would have to be the romance and Si-Fi aspect to it. I believe there may be a sequel based on the ending.

Must Watch Episodes:

*guilty side-ways look* I actually didn't make note of my favourite episodes while I was watching this. I know, I know. "Bad Tasha!" If I ever re-watch it or just glance over them, I'll definitely add them. Promise!

Rating:

I would give this anime 3.5 out of 5 stars. * * *  ½*

Note:
Thanks to the magic of Wikipedia, I learned there IS a second season called Mission-E. I will try to watch that in the near future!
