Plot Summary - Amamizukan is an apartment complex where no boys are allowed. Kuragehime Tsukimi, a girl who adores jellyfish, lives there happily with her friends who all have nerdy obsessions of their own. Their peaceful lives gradually start to change when a beautiful woman helps Tsukimi out of a pinch. She moves into the apartments -- but it turns out "she" is really a "he."

My First Impression - I was actually kind of scared to watch this series, but it wasn't all that bad. The girl's obsession with jellyfish was quite odd, but it stood out from the normal "all anime girls are hot/perfect/good at everything" stereotype. I didn't really like the drawings, or the character designs, but the plot twist was very unexpected. I'd like to know what happens later on in this series, as I'm sure it gets better! The voice actor of one of the main characters surprised me with roles in Ouran High School Host Club (Benio from Lobelia), Bleach (female Zabimaru), and Shugo Chara (Kairi). The main girl who's obsessed with jellyfish is voiced by Kana Hanazawa, who does Kanade from Angel Beats, voicing in Kaichou wa Maid-sama and the new series Otome Youkai Zakuro. So that was also a plus!
