Not every anime has to standout to be enjoyable to watch. This anime doesn't have a lot going for it in many aspects; the artwork isn't all that great, the plot is just "okay", most of the characters are underdeveloped and just "bit players", and the writing isn't exactly brillant. Yet this story is put together nicely, well paced, entertaining, humorous, ecchi and somewhat interesting. I feel this is a worthwhile share and I enjoyed watching it.
Plot Summary: Takeru is a typical high school student until he saves Hikari, an alien girl with no memory of her past. Committing himself to take care of her, Takeru's life is suddenly filled with aliens and monsters.
