The way this series approaches the topic of the possibility of aliens is interesting, and also unique insofar as not much else done about this subject is usually comedic.
It has episodes made up of arcs that range from three, two, or just individual narratives that are resolved within twenty minutes. The latter do not usually have characters that re-appear in later episodes, and even one of the couple episodes arc do not re-occur, but this is mostly satisfactory because the narrative is usually dealt with, and even if a 'deus ex machina' device seems to be used, it is at least seemingly logical, being devised by the mostly comedic prince 'Baka' (Japanese for 'stupid', not because he actually is; it is a nickname other characters usually use due to his annoyance, so it is a cathartic sort of utterance, as opposed to descriptive).
It is a referential anime, both to a 'tokusatsu' series - with a twist, and comedy still central - and video games, particularly RPGs, wherein anime transitions into and from. It is also referenced itself in other series of a similar nature, Gintama in particular, as it also deals with aliens but mostly focuses on its human protagonists' hijinks.
Still, even with these relations this series is mostly composed of stand-alone stories that are worth watching in their own right. The comedy also doesn't require prior viewing of other series to enjoy, as it's mostly about the prince and how obnoxious he can be that even his alien colleagues dream of, at the very least, getting away from him. This is all in done in good nature, though, as except for one or two episodes most characters aren't vicious, or at least only are conceptually.

In the present day, hundreds of extraterrestrial species walk the Earth. Some are pacifistic, others violent. Some are here for research purposes, others are career criminals. However, humans don't know they are here. Now, one more alien has arrived on Earth. One of the universe's foremost geniuses with a personality that's bound to attract all sorts of trouble.
I generally found this series to be very weird for the most part.
Though I will admit the animation was good as was the music. The voice actors were also okay with what they were given.
But I will admit a lot of the plot of this anime was weird.

I have never seen so much twists and turns in a parody type of anime before. Like this anime has scenes where it gets to be "omg this is so intense" kind of hype to the "sorry guys it wasn't an actual big deal after all" kind of way. Normally these type of things would put you off with some anime but for a comedy anime like this one, you could just laugh away at it and be relieved that no character is gonna suffer lol.
I think Kraft out of all the characters was really the funniest and the best. That man always has such stupid funny tantrums that makes you try not to laugh. He honestly should've been the MC rather than be always the supporting character. I felt the alien Prince and the two students were rather uninteresting as the main characters.
That's the only reason I'm giving this anime a 7/10 rating...
