excel saga

all characters are quite amusing, and very much aware of their place in the series. Excel is just too much to handle, but doesn't become too annoying as many of her recent 'clones'. fortunately she has Hyatt to balance out the scale and her 'quirk' does well to provide some entertaining moments.
in the end i'd have to say Watanabe's persona of Nabeshin and Illpalazzo were by far the most entertaining characters, and it is worth mentioning Pedro although at times he seems to be pushing a typecast for a plot device. everybody else puts in their fair share, and depending on personal preference, you'll either enjoy them all or not.

so in the end, i'd recommend this to anyone who has been dissapointed with the more recent comedic offerings to take a look back and see how it's meant to be done. and as for the parodies, the ones i managed to notice were done impeccably well, and i was extremely pleased when a few i was expecting showed up.

Never being one to be stereotyped I found this quite to my Tastes, Would say the first half of the first episode is probably my Favourite, How better to be introduced to the main cast character/title lead than to see their entire life flash in front of their eyes, few dodgy bits in terms of some of the supporting charactors, But happy to say they fulfill the roles well when it comes to adding some sanity to an anime composed completely of Over zealous world domineering twits(see pinky and the Brain/Animaniacs) Very funny, Well worth the watch(disconnect brain immediately after pressing Play button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
