    The episodes have little connection to one another and there is minimal character development throughout, but if you can appreciate silly comedy this is a great show. The acting is a bit overdone, but I felt that it fit the show as a whole very well. The extremes in acting keep the show interesting even though some of the stories get predictable.

    Also, if you're a student of Japanese, this show can be great for learning. There is a
