Before I post an impression of this show, I will say this about watching this show on Cruncyroll. I don't like how it crash when I am trying to watch this show quite a few time that I have to find this show from Youtube and other illegal place to get this show (don't worry, I am actually going to buy this show now....just need to wait for a good deal for the Blu-ray) . I am guessing it might be the popup blocker apps I install on my chrome but man...it's not fun to refresh up to 7 time just to finish one episode. Now, back to the show.
This show was in my radar few times starting from right stuff December sales when it was on sale. Also, heard about it a bit on Anime Gaf.
The main idea of this show is the human population in this world is slowly declining and they're start to cede more and more territory in this world. only a small handful humans are left in this world but another race is growing during this time. They're call fairies. Basically, they're small elf creatures who have a taste of sweets stuff and like happy things. Unfortunately, they cause issue in this world with their power when they try to find something fun and this is where you follow the main character of this show, Watashi, whose mission is to be a mediator between the human and the fairies. That's basically the main idea of the show story and you follow Watashi and her assistant with the help of her grandpa alone the way.
I guess the story isn't too crazy when you start to analyzing it but what make this show fun to watch come down in few things. For one, it's the main character of this show. Watashi is a very interesting protagonists which don't follow most Anime tropes you see in most anime. She's unique because of her dry cynical dialogue when she interact with other characters, her own internal thoughts (which is sometime very dark), and her own character make her interesting. How she react in different situation in this show make her very interesting to watch. Also, I like her dark tone when she thinking about the situation she is in. Funny to watch it.
2nd thing I like about this show is how strange it's. They're quite a few stuff in this show is so absurd that you don't know how to react like a bread rip himself to death just so he want Watashi to eat him or the naked chickens who want to take over the human population. In this world, there is no such thing as strange and this ring true as you continue watching this show.
3rd thing I like from this show is how it focus itself as a social commentary of the world. They're quite a few things this show talk about and it's quite in depth if you pay attention. They range from the manga industry, consumerism, or the over consumption of resources in the world. For me, it's unusual but make this show a bit unique and very interesting as I do notice it as I am watching this show.
Even with this strength, they're some weakness I notice as I watch the show. Some of the episode in this show have some inconsistent in quality. Not saying they're bad but feel weaker than the rest of the episode. Also, I am not too fond of how they set up the story in the later half of the show. This is mostly from when they're trying to tell the background story of the main character or the assistant. I don't really mind it but it feel a bit odd of how they set it up. It might make sense if they move them near the beginning of the show like the time paradox and background story of the assistant for example then put it in later half of the episode. Still, not a biggie but something I notice.
The anime visuals is not going to win any medal but the vibrant art style and colorful palette make this show look a bit unique and nice to watch over the cynical tone you feel as you watch the show. Kinda funny how dark the show is when it look like one of those playful anime.
For music, it work fine in the show and match the mood quite well in most of the scene. The intro and ending theme is now stuck in me a bit right now and the musical score is nice to listen outside of the show if you want something to play in the background as you're doing something else.
Overall, an interesting show to watch and would recommend it to certain people.
