Medaka Box

Medaka Box:  B

Written by Nisio Isin of Bakemonogatari and Katanagatari and animated by Gainax, there's pretty much no way I could give it a BAD rating, is there?

Medaka Box is about an invincible genius superwoman who happens to be 16, hot, and impossibly optimistic and nice.  She becomes student council president in her first year of high school with 98% of the vote.  Actually, it's about her childhood friend who looks out for her and helps her get through her life, because despite being an invincible genius superwoman, she's still also a 16 year old girl with emotions who overlooks things and fails to understand how people work sometimes.

Nisio Isin likes writing with pre-set relationships and history and letting you get to know the characters as well as they know each other.  Medaka Box also avoids any sort of traditional harem-ery and much in the way of ship tease.  The series is very episodic, with several episodes containing two short stories within them, but, true to Nisio Isin's writing, every character who we meet has a personality, goals and position in the setting.  Episodes also tend to be dialogue-heavy (though not as much as Bakemonogatari or Katanagatari), though there is a fair amount of action.

Medaka Box basically asks "What if Superman were a 16 year old girl and the student council president?" and runs with it, more or less honestly.  If that sounds like fun, check out Medaka Box.
