I just finished this wacky show and it was quite okay i guess

I feel like a lot of references will be missed by us North Americans aside from the obvious ones of course, but what we may understand certainly warrants some serious laughing. This is the show's strong point because there is not much else and I don't think it was meant to be anything else but a crazy ride filled with tongue-in-cheek humor and parodies.

There is no major flaws with this show but some minor grips:

-The characters don't have much depth, they always seem to go back to their old-self by the end of the episode and so the things that happen have no impact on them.

-The music is forgettable (aside from the very nice OP and enjoyable ED). Then again, there is so much dialog involved, notably with the hyperactive Excel, that it's certainly a choice made by the director to not focus on BGM.

So overall, i would give it a 7.4/10 and would recommend it only if you are hungry for some hyperactive, crazy, WTF humor
