And that's the thing, if this were a slice of life toku, it would be great! The humor is good, the idea of these strange creatures adapting to human life is solid, and the cast has potential.
But it's not, and it's attempts to create a stroy are terrible, the scenes with the businessman and the secretary(?) are a pain to sit through, and so far the story is not engaging at all.

I'll continue to enjoy the slice of life side inmensely, but the other parts simply fall apart.

Still I kinda wanna stick around to see the team form, because I'm hoping then the slice of life non comedy will be completely cut back for greater quantities of action. And if this show focused on the action in the future, I think it could become its own version of a masterpiece.

I kinda love how you guys are so totally opposite on this.

Me, I like all parts of the show. The slice of life stuff is odd but amusing and I enjoy the liberties this show is taking with its fourth wall. The fight scenes are visually very impressive and I love the crazy Amemiya visuals. The show's not perfect, by any means, and I have no idea how long it will keep charming me like this, but for now I think it's shaping up to be my favorite show of 2013.
