The Daichis -
Earth's Defense Family
Anime DVD Review
Dysfunction has a name and a face. It's the Daichis. They consist of plump, meek husband Mamoru, raging, dictatorial wife Seiko, their anxiety-ridden teen daughter Nozomi, and their hyperactive, hormone-driven prepubescent son Dai. The family is being driven apart by internal strife. An alien race chooses them to be defenders of the Earth - and total chaos ensues.
The hilarity comes from their hapless plight - the Daichis must battle aliens, meet their employers' strict demands and remain a functioning family unit. It's a combination that oftentimes drives them to the very edge of sanity - and sometimes past it. It makes for hysterical entertainment that is guaranteed to make you watch their misadventures again and again.
