Protect Me, Heavenly Moon Guardian!
Synopsis
Tasuke Shichiri is the envy of his friends because since his parents are always traveling he can do as he pleases. It's a surprise present from his father that keeps him from being lonely: an odd ring known as the shitenrin. From it comes a moon goddess named Shaorin, dedicated to protecting her "master" -- no matter how much of a mess she makes doing it!
Audience Consensus
The anime is generally considered mediocre and disappointing, especially compared to initial expectations set by the opening theme. While some find the characters and romance endearing, the weak storyline, repetitive episodes, and underdeveloped characters lead to a largely unfulfilling viewing experience. Many feel the anime doesn't live up to its potential, with the manga being a potentially better alternative.
