Impressions:

Well, first I’d like to say I have no idea how the name of the Anime is spelt. It is spelt differently in different sites, so I’ll just use this one. Anyway, I definitely like the style used for the character designs. Good visuals always draw me into an Anime, regardless of how stupid the summary sounds or how much other people belittle it. Therefore, this is an Anime I am definitely going to check out (though it does bear a tiny resemblance to Zero no Tsukaima, which is not too good a thing in my view). The description sounds interesting, though the type of story line that it employs seems to be quite common. That’s not that a bad thing; just makes it harder to stand out from all the other similar shows. From all the female characters in the series, I’m going to guess that this is a harem. It is definitely a fantasy, with the girl from the moon planet and all, though I wonder how much fantasy elements will be used. Will it be a school life? I think the male lead is a university student, so I’m not sure, though there are scenes in a school environment as shown by the screenies. I would like some school aspects though, as that is one of my favourite genres. This series is one of the highest on my anticipation lists, and I really dread it when those anticipations turn out to be below average shows. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen!

Summary: (Extracted from AniDB)

Based on a bishoujo game by August Soft.

The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw; and trembled. The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

Long ago people settled down on the moon and established a kingdom there, the Sphere Kingdom. However, relations to the earth cooled down and were finally broken off since a war was fought hundreds of years ago. There isn`t any business between the two races and travelling isn`t allowed. The only link between them is to be found in the Mitsurugasaki Central Port City.

However, one day the princess of the moon kingdom, Feena Fam Earthlight, is sent on a “homestay” to the earth. She gets to stay at Asagiri Tatsuya`s house. And this is where her task of learning the customs and lifestyle of the earth begins.
