Sanpeita Kobayashi made a
Childhood Marriage Promise ten years ago. To this day, he still keeps her photo around in his wallet. His life is about to change. One day, a
Super Deformed Powered Armor calling itself Kemeko blasts into his life and declares Sanpeita to be her husband. He now has to live with Kemeko, who was apparently sent to protect Sanpeita from the Mishima Electric Corporation, a
Mega Corp who are after his power. It doesn't help matters that everyone around Sanpeita is some degree of crazy.
Based on the manga of the same name, adapted into an anime by Hal Film Maker.
Tropes in this series include:
- Applied Phlebotinum: The Nanoball is said to generate infinite energy out of nothing.
- Barehanded Blade Block: Sanpeita has to pull one off after mentioning that Ryouko can't swim.

- Beware The Nice Ones: Bad things happen when you push Tamako or Izumi too far. Senpeita too, believe it or not.

- Boobs Of Steel: Izumi
- Butt Monkey: If you're not convinced Sanpeita is one, then I ask what anime you've been watching...
- Cat Girl: Miura is both this and a Ninja Maid. And she is voiced by Mamiko Noto. It can't get any better than that, can it?
- Censor Steam: Lots of it in episode eleven.
- Chainsaw Good: Kemeko attacks Sanpeita when he slacks off during physical exercises.
- Childhood Marriage Promise

- Covert Pervert: Misaki.
- Crowning Moment Of Funny: Episode 4. "Ode ToJoy". That is all.
- Cosplay Otaku Girl: Sadly, Miura isn't a real maid... but that doesn't really diminish her awesomeness.
- Dancing Theme: The ED and, to some extent, the OP.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita: Haya-chan's outfit throughout episode seven.
- Fan Disservice: Please, for the love of god - no more Kemeko fanservice!
- Fan Service: Please, for the love of god - more M.M. fanservice! And more Kurosaki fanservice, too!
- Festival Episode
- Fetish Fuel: Kemeko forces Izumi through a series of various clothing fetishes in episode seven... including rather disturbing ones.
- Franks 2000 Inch TV: Mishima's 2000 foot headquarters screen. It's the biggest thing in the city, and dwarfs every building around it, spanning what looks like at least ten city blocks across.
- Frying Pan Of Doom: Tamako, Sanpeita's little sister, effectively turns a frying pan into a weapon when she goes to fight Kemeko, believing her to be a burglar.
- Gainaxing: Izumi.
- Gatling Good: Kemeko has used one of these on several occasions. Including in class.
- Getting Crap Past The Radar: Episode seven, Kemeko, Izumi... the giant syringe. 'Nuff fucking said. Damn you, Dr. Freud...
- Gonk: Kemeko.
- Hammerspace: MM manages to fit into the Kemeko unit despite being bigger than it.
- Hot Chick With A Sword: Ryoko Kurosaki, who manages pretty well in combat against Kemeko. As it turns out, she's also a student in Sanpeita's class, she just rarely shows up; she also has a cute cat sidekick.
- Hot Shounen Mom: Sanpeita's mother looks pretty hot for someone who supposedly spends all her time inside her room drawing manga...
- Imagine Spot: When she's packing for a trip to the beach, Izumi lapses into a romantic vision of her and Sanpeita watching the sunset. Sanpeita is unusually buff in her imagination.
- Last Episode New Character: Kamishiro Yukina, miko and nanoball prototype, who appears in the manga a couple of chapters after the last anime episode. She appears right before the end credits.

- Megaton Punch: One of these, combined with a massive nosebleed, puts Sanpeita into critical condition in episode four.
- New Transfer Student: Subverted when a new transfer student is predicted - then Kemeko bursts through the window. Kemeko is not the new transfer student, though. That role belongs to a named extra completely unrelated to the main plot.
- Ninja Maid: Miura.
- Non Action Guy: Sanpeita
- The Ojou: Haya-chan is rich.
- Onee Sama: Tamako considers Kemeko one, of all people.
- Parental Obliviousness: Fumiko Kobayashi, Sanpeita and Tamako's mother, is a mangaka and frequently pulls all-nighters. She's oblivious in general, but the all-nighters don't help.
- Pillow Fight: Er, how do I put it... nosebleeds ensue.
- Powered Armor: The Kemeko and Kiriko units.
- Puni Plush
- The Reveal: In episode eleven, M.M. is revealed to be Mishima Mei, daughter of Mishima Souichirou, the founder and first president of Mishima Electronics, whom she killed to steal his ultimate invention, the Nanoball. This also makes Kemeko a Phlebotinum Rebel. Using the power of Mishima to fight Mishima.
- Shout Out: Among many other things, the show contains shout-outs to Dai Mahou Touge and Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (episode seven), written and directed by the same man who directs Kemeko itself. Also Neon Genesis Evangelion, through Kemeko's plug suit and a very conspicuous Lance of Longinus weapon
- Shower Scene: M.M. takes one after Sanpeita tries to find out her true identity in episode eleven, so it may also qualify for a mild Shower Of Angst.
- Space Police: Ryouko appears to be part of it.
- Standard Snippet: Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" is played when Sanpeita is lucky enough to see Izumi's bikini top fall off right in front of him. The version played even has a chorus backing it, making the moment verge on What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome? territory.
- The Stinger: Just who the hell was that Miko girl? No to mention the marching army shot...
- Super Deformed: Kemeko and Kiriko in particular, though the cast in general certainly fit.
- Surreal Theme Tune

- Tsundere: Izumi and MM/Kemeko
- Ugly Cute: Kemeko.

- Wise Beyond Their Years: Misaki is way more perceptive than she makes herself appear.
- Woman Scorned: Ryouta (did I get That One Guy's name right? ) gets a bit too excited about this.
