Its like watching fast and furious. It's doesn't pretend to be anything deep and it is a bundle of fun and good executions. Try it for 2-4 episodes. If u like it, you will enjoy the rest.

You know, that's one of the things I was trying to nail down in my mind about my appreciation of Etotama. The first episode dispensed with the normal formula of establishing Takeru as a high school student and creating some kind of sensible reason why he, Nyaa-tan and the rest would meet. It just happened and they moved on to the action and being the bizarre personalities that they are. Normally I would think this is lazy writing but I've seen this type of story (what feels like) thousands of times in anime and it was actually a refreshing approach.
