Girls Bravo and Litterbugs!

elfsHeh. If you think you've seen harem anime, you ain't seen nothin' until you've watched Girls Bravo. The set-up is about as silly as anything one can possibly imagine. Usually, the male character is a klutz and completely incompetent with women. Girls Bravo takes this one step further-- Yukanari is allergic to women! They give him hives. He's short and cute and women seem naturally inclined to abuse him.
Worse, he lives alone. He's pretty organized, but his parents are "overseas" for the next few months, so he has to take care of himself. This would be tolerable if not for his next-door neighbors. Their water main broke, so their slightly-older-than-Yukanari daughter uses his shower. Being Yukanari, he can't get anything right; when he stumbles into his own bathroom to find her drying off, she accuses him of peeping; when he disclaims any interest in her, she gets mad and knees him. He falls into his bathtub and lands...
... on Selene, the Planet of Women. Apparently, women breed truer here; only one in ten births is male, so women make up the bulk of the laboring and warrior classes. Wars have been fought over men.
Yukanari finds himself a desired commodity, with women, especially the first two to find him, fighting over him, and him completely incompetent about how to proceed.
At least, while on Selene, he doesn't break out in hives when women touch him. Convenient, that.
NASA litters! Last week on Mars, while scanning the ground with the microscopic viewer, JPL engineers came across a tiny, microscopic thread that, by golly, looked organic. The team went berserk but chose not to alert the media lest it turn out to be a false alarm.
On closer examination, it turned out they were slightly downwind of an airbag impact site, and the threads were debris from the impact. Bummer.
