天下制覇

Seems like a good way to break your wrists.

Impressions:

You can certainly make a fish out of water comedy where somebody ostensibly very serious and dangerous is put in charge of childrens' upbringing, be it Onizuka or Kindergarten Cop, but this ain't really it. If you instead changed them to all be tailors instead of organized crime, you wouldn't even need fifteen minutes for the rewrites, and even less time to just cut out the thirty or so seconds of the animation. It's not even engaging in its own premise, let alone justifying it. There's one passable sight gag of the dude doing a flying tackle across the entire episode. The rest is just "adult looks awkward about dealing with child." It's thin gruel for comedy.

But maybe it's trying to play more to the emotional side. The second half of the episode certainly is. Again, though, it aims so incredibly low and so boringly trite. She draws a picture, but is nervous about showing it to her father, so he tells her to be confident. And… she does. And everything is fine. That's it. That's ten minutes. Just a superficial problem with a superficial answer. Give me substance. Give me insight. Give me growth. Give me understanding. Give me an epiphany. It's inoffensive feel good fluff at best, but it shies from its own premise and you can't swing a dead cat in anime without bludgeoning at least six different shows where everything is completely solved right away by saying "just believe in yourself."
