'Yamato Nadeshiko' anime ~ nantonaku harasho!

While watching, I've caught myself thinking several times whether the anime is more hilarious than the drama or vice versa.

But here's the deciding factor...

goth-goth-loli-loli!

story and characters
There are different kinds of shoujo anime. Precisely, the nothing-except-fanservice one, and the watcheable one. Every new shoujo anime we see is a mystery.
First you get to see a bunch of hot naked men in the very opening.

Then you notice that they have their lips coloured

And you panick already, because this is some extreme fanservice you're not in favour of.

And you wonder how easily the guys accepted Sunako as their house-maid actually. How about after the test???

And then you realise that you can rest assured. Becuase this is a comedy. Because anime directors without sense of humour would'n let 'bishounen' guys be drawn as white figures.

Or black lines.

Because people without sense of humor wouldn't let their characters realise the situation they are in,

and realising the genre they're in,

and there aren't many shoujo heroines reciting in English in a low voice,

and it's not widespread to recognise a mushroom because

not because there is a crown painted carefully on it.

There is shoujo anime for girl who want to have a nosebleed seeing beautiful 'bishounen' guys before them, and anime about a girl who has nosebleed seeing 'bishounen' guys near her every single day, and still being much more normal than many other shoujo heroines would. Because when

she does not cry or be astonished or try to prove the opposite.

There's shoujo for 'KYAAAA' and shoujo for fun.

music
I would say, the background music is nothing special, but listen to the OPEDs closely. Kiyoharu, the singer, turned out to be a 1968-born rock-star, famous for participating in rock-bands of 90s. That's probably why the songs sound like something very similar, something close and nostalgic.

graphics
is not something you pay much attention to in this anime

voice acting
And here comes something that can either save an anime or make it a failure. I guess, it's neither this time, but let's congratulate the creators that it's not the latter. All the voices are to the point, and I think we couldn't wish for anything better.
