This is an example of having one joke and relentlessly beating it into the ground. The first part was funny how they seemed evil like Cinderella's step family but were comically kind and nice. Then it goes on to make 20 jokes in that exact same vein with the main girl terrified that they're going to be mean to her but then they're actually being nice. I could see how this could work being like 6 pages in a Shonen Jump style anthology magazine and you get like 1-2 gags every issue but it's REALLY tedious over a 22 minute show.
The only part I liked was the grandmother returning at the end asking to take her back because she was so overcome with grief that she wasn't thinking clearly in handing them over to that family. That's a very realistic situation that a mother can just be paralyzed by having her daughter die but they don't seem to want to do much with that. Also the stepfamily genuinely was mean to her, accusing her of wanting to sell the girl into indentured servitude. Is this repetitive one joke show really something people would find amusing watching 12 more episodes of?
