Summer in Shonan: The Don't Say Goodbye Episode The Exchange Student and Okitsu, The Dark City Sports Festival Special The Big Family and The Elusive Pork Ramen, Big Sister Mika Is Running Away Beast Buster Ekaterina Nagare A.K.A. Iincho SF Magical Period Drama Doki Doki Version: The Okitsu Millennium Battle! The Culture Festival Operation The Small One Departs Okitsu Reception Tim Jones of THEM Anime Reviews said the series is "quite an interesting series upon first glance," with three of the main characters coming out of nowhere,doing a bad job of introducing characters unlike a series like Azumanga Daioh, meaning that they embody stereotypes. He also criticizes Mika being the "target of sexual advances of one of her students," a student named Kitakawa who is "a lesbian lolicon lover," a character he called one of the most shallow, and annoying character he had ever "seen in the history of animation." He also noted that there is a gay man who only thinks of his male crush, "sometimes to the point of getting nosebleeds" and said his love interest had one of the most annoying voices, and added that the series has problems when "a guy who draws half-naked anime girls is one of the best characters." He further called the animation "horrible" and doesn't understand how it ran for 20 episodes. Carlos Santos of Anime News Network said that the anime is "a cute diversion that will leave you mildly happy rather than annoyed or offended" and said the series has "shadows of hilarity." He also said that the series is "lighthearted," and called the series "far from perfect." He concluded that there are "some genuinely cute and funny moments but said that it has the "same jokes, same structure" which gets boring.
