Anyone know this series? It's one of my favorite on recent years. If not, it's a slice of life comedy that's got two main groups in its cast.
One the one side we have a trio of schoolgirls: Mio, Mai, and Yuuko. On the other we have Nano, a robot who would like to be like a normal girl, the Professor who made her (age 8) and their cat Sakamoto (who can speak thanks to an invention of the Professor's).
If you did a double take at the second half of that, this is where (to me) the charm of the series kicks in. Both sides go through various day-to-day adventures; but the schoolgirl trio's are overblown to the point of absurdity while the adventures of the wind up robot girl, little girl Professor, and taking cat are generally WAY more mundane. Scenes with the schoolgirls will include things like the most epic instance of the 3-second rule ever while the Professor is scared to go potty by herself in the middle of the night.
This creates a hilarious contrast that makes for a life that's anything but ordinary. The anime as two seasons of 12/13 episodes and the manga is ongoing.
The three second rule has never been so epic:
Nighttime is scary when you're a kid. Even when you're a genius scientist.
