The three sisters Ai, Mai and Mii, together with their ferret Unagi and the robotic maid Mea, live in a timetraveling mansion. They're hopping through time in search for "The One", someone who could tell them what they're really looking for.
The girls each have special powers, and Ai has the ability to speak with the Popotan (which is their nonsense way of saying dandelion, correctly called 'tanpopo'). Everywhere they stop, they find a patch of Popotan, or even a single flower (really, people put dandelions in pots? They're a weed where I come from... :-] ) that Ai sit down and have a little chat with, asking for information about where they can find The One.
The other special powers are Mii's healing "magic" and Mai's, well, atlethics. (Really, all she does is jump real high. A sucky power if you ask me)..
The anime is based on a hentai visual-novel game, and while there aren't any sexually explicit scenes in the series, there's still a lot of nudity. Mostly upper body shots and all portrayed in really good taste though, so no need to be alarmed. :-P
As the story progresses, and as the sisters travel through time, they encounter a lot of people and make many new friends. Regrettably, as there are many sad goodbye's. The second half of the twelve episode long series gets really sad, and by the time I got to episode ten I had a lump in my throat and I struggled to keep the tears back. (Really, I'm such a softie... :'-] )
Overall, this was great! I absolutely loved it and would recommend it. There's comedy, drama, fantasy (and for those who're into it, ecchi), so most everyone is sure to find something they'd like. :-]
