I've been stewing on this series for five episodes and this has bubbled up:
1) The editing, scene cuts, and camera angles remind me of Bakemonogatari (as do some of the character interactions). This is not a bad thing... a bit of Bakemono-lite.
2) I like the lead (mostly) -- he's fairly analytical and doesn't leap to dumbass judgements. His dry observations with occasional "what the hell?" moments are fairly mature.
3) Varied reactions to the various "girls that he encounters" ... Miss "tall and weak" (Maekawa) is the most fascinating to me so far though obviously the attention is on Little Moon Unit (Erio). Ryuuko is okay but seems a bit pasted from Toradora! (Minorin).
4) Meme... getting some Key sexy mom vibes (AIR, Kanon, etc) but she's eccentric and luscious. Her treatment of Moon-Unit (Erio) makes more sense when the utter frustration is taken into context.

I'll readily admit I have a LOT of trouble listening to the OP.... for reasons similar to the OP of Honey&Clover :P otoh, the ED tune is very sweet/precious/cute.

Not life-changing but fun to watch so far.
