Why chii thinks you should watch it
I honestly can't outright recommend this ova to anyone. It's worth watching if you like really strange things and have a liking for a lot of men in your anime since 95% of the cast is male. Oddly enough though you won't have to walk around hoping a yaoi undertone will show up at any moment because there just isn't any. There's a male that looks like a girl but that's about it and is played up in a rather hilarious way in the first episode. Quirky characters shine very well since this particular dorm is made up of misfits and oddballs. I really wish we got to learn more about them but there's only so much that can be told in 6 episodes. Each episode is rather episodic so there are more boring ones than interesting ones I found but at 6 episodes it shouldn't be too much of a problem to sit through if you just want to waste an afternoon.
Further reactions to this OVA:

















The bit at the end of episode 3 or 4, where they recreate the ending of Castle of Cagliostro for a class play, is one of my favorite anime scenes of all time.

yes that little bit was pretty awesome. i like how they made the falling scene and the watch sploosh work.

I’ve been meaning to see this for awhile now. No one ever says it’s a masterpiece, so I won’t expect one. But it seems like a good show to pass the time with. Shame the characters are not explored more though. But with some of these OVA’s that’s often the case. I wonder how the dub is? There are actually two of them, one from Bang Zoom, and one from (the amazing) Taj studios in NYC.
