I can see why a lot of people online are not fans of this. For someone coming in blind, it's a tough watch. That being said, I came into this having read the manga far passed the point that episode 12 ends. I had a grin on my face the whole time seeing how close a lot of this show came to the story I read in the manga. It's not meant to be a serious story for the most part, though some story lines are darker than others. Instead, expect a goofy trip with a few too many (relatively) tame dirty jokes. The mangais something I'll revisit when I need a laugh, and this show really captured the feel of its paperback counterpart. Absolutely loved it, and really wish a second season was realistic.
