I enjoyed the first two episodes of this anime more than I thought I would. I was going into it expecting... some sort of bad DearS meets UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie meets Omamori Himari meets ToLove-Ru copy. You know, the typical "average/somewht plain guy with no girl stumbles across some non-civilized ultra-special otherworldly girl who may or may not be retarded and pretty and can destroy everything all at the same time" getup.
In a sense, that's exactly what it is. But I think Asobi ni Ikuyo puts a nice little spin on it. It's refreshing to see that Eris is intelligent and she doesn't have some impossibly unrealistic reason for coming to Earth (which in the typical anime has to do with love or saving the world/the human race/a home planet). I love all of the minor characters as well (Aoi/Momiji being my favorite); they're actually INTERESTING for a change.
I think I will stick with this.
