The Review
I don't know what it is about the opening theme, but I really like it. There's not a ton of theme music that I will put up with every episode, but this is one of them.
This series took me by surprise. I wasn't excepting it to be as funny as it was. I knew that it was suppose to be comical, but it was actually funny. This may have been due to me relating to the main character. I've played a lot of games in my life, and I did go through a period of playing eroge. It was fun to see him take what he learned in the game and apply it to real life situations.
It's surprising how easily the mother accepted Elsie as part of the family. I kinda feel bad for the father. He was on some business trip and gets such an odd phone call. Perhaps they'll do a quick update on what happen with the father after he was told to never come back home.
It's interesting that he goes through all the trouble to have a girl fall in love with them and they don't even remember it. I mean, he really puts a lot of effort into it. I wonder if they will have something happen and all the girls will remember what he did for them? I notice that the girls all seem to have some feelings of the main character, but are unsure why. Perhaps this will be more emphasized in the second season?
