UFO baby (Daa! Daa! Daa!)

I've watched a few episodes of this anime before on Ntv7 but didn't finish the series. Decided to watch from the beginning till the end, a total of 78 episodes. Um, the anime was actually cute and hilarious at times but as the episodes progress, I find that the story gradually becomes quite boring. Partly because the whole story is about how the main characters, Kouzuki Miyu and Sayounji Kanata help to take care of an alien baby, Ruu and sitter-pet, Wanya from a planet called Otto after accidentally landing on Earth due to travelling through a dimensional chasm.

Sayounji Kanata

Basically, throughout the story, Miyu and Kanata both act as parents to baby Ruu on Earth. Initially, Miyu and Kanata resented the idea of being called "Papa" and "Mama" by Ruu but as they get used to living with Ruu and Wanya, they enjoy staying together as a family in the Sayounji temple owned by Kanata's father, who is a monk. Miyu and Kanata always have to cover Ruu and Wanya's identity from their classmates, their homeroom teacher, a mangaka friend called Mikan, Miyu's parents and Kanata's father. As Wanya has the ability to transform, their alien presence could still be kept as a secret from Miyu's astronaut mother, who is in search of alien life forms and planning to dissect them (or so she said).

Kouzuki Miyu

In the story, Miyu and Kanata love to quarrel among themselves but their feelings grow for each other over time. In the anime, their relationship do not progress much. There's this girl called Hanakomachi Christine who is chasing after Kanata's love and whenever she sees Miyu close together with Kanata, she starts imagining and assuming that Miyu and Kanata plan to get married and live happily ever after as a young couple, and she will start to have superhuman strength to pluck out big trees or lift up something heavy and fling to those around her unconsciously. I feel that she's quite a scary character...

Ruu

In the end, Miyu and Kanata's classmates know about Ruu and Wanya's real identity and together, they assist them to return back to Otto with the aid of other aliens from planet Sharaku.There are a few episodes which I feel is the best among the 78 episodes but a lot of them are mainly about protecting Ruu and Wanya's identity and aiding them to return to Otto.

Overall, it's just okay.
