Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi
Synopsis: A love comedy parodying fairy tales such as "Little Red Riding Hood," "The Ant and the Grasshopper," etc. Ookami Ryoko (Ookami-san) is a spunky high school girl. She is a member of a "fixer" club so called Otogi High School Bank. She fixes the school's problems with her partner Akai Ringo (Akazukin-chan.) The TV anime series Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi is adapting Masashi Okita's romantic comedy light novel series of the same title. The story centers around Ryouko Ookami, a high school freshman girl known for her fierce looks, unusual canine teeth when she smiles, and wild demeanor (her family name is homonymous with the Japanese word for "wolf"). Ringo Akai is a short high school freshman girl with seemingly cute, angelic looks but a dark demeanor (her name is a Japanese wordplay on "apple" and "Red Riding Hood"). Together with their odd friends, the two fight to change the world, one issue at a time. (ANN synopsis)

Well as far as episode 1 goes, I enjoyed it. It had some genuinely funny moments too so it was a plus.
The synopsis did not lie, this really does take a weird spin on classical tales, for example this week it parodies cinderella with the whole missing shoe and everything, pretty nice concept.
As for the characters...well Ookami is actually pretty cool, as expected she has some tsundere to her but for the most part she was pretty good when it came to fighting with her little cat gloves lol.
The main male lead...the only way I can describe him is Jacuzzi Splot from Baccano but a bit less cool.
A good start to what looks to be an enjoyable show, JC Staff does not disappoint.
