Review Niea under7 Written by Warpshadow Rating good

I really wanted to like this show I did. While it is not a bad show by any means it suffers from what I see to be the worst case of indecision in theme that I have ever seen.

Mayuko is a poor cram school student. She lives in a small apartment above a bath house. She works three jobs and goes to school. Perhaps her most interesting trouble is that she lives with an Alien. This alien is Niea a strange girl who, unlike other Aliens doesn't have an antenna. The problem with Niea is that she is a freeloader who lives in Mayuko's closet and constantly pesters Mayuko for food. Even worse Niea's hobby is building Ufos and not only does that leave junk all over the room one day Niea gets careless with a Ufo she just built and destroys the roof of Mayuko's apartment.

Niea under 7 is a weird anime show, however what is the weirdest thing about it is that for a show with aliens, UFOs and whatnot the show is a lot less hyper than you think it would be. The show combines a crazy style of humor with a melancholic reflection on how things can just slip away without notice. The big problem is that these two moods don't mix well at all. There is a further problem in that the characters seem annoyingly underdeveloped in a way that you know there should be more to them but it is never explained. The show would have been better served if the creators had decided to pick a more constant tone and went with it.
