This anime felt mediocre initially and I slowly kept watching it off and on only because of its high praise and sort of 'historical' value. But slowly as I crossed over 25 eps I started liking the characters a 'little'. And in time (75+ep) I started appreciating the simple non intelligent fun and the subtle beauty of the various characters and I felt glad that this had nearly 200 episodes that I could enjoy.
Story is episodic, where because of the aliens in the story some big calamity happens and the school gets totaled in most episodes, yet, by the next episode its as if nothing had happened. In modern anime these kind of episodes are done to somehow extend a simple story to over 25 episodes and its quite annoying. But here there is no story at all, so this is all there is.
The girl falls in love with the guy in the 1st ep itself and that should have been the end of this anime. lol...
This anime isnt for everyone. Give it a try if you don't have anything else.
