When this intro started, I thought it was just going to be the lead character narrating her backstory through song, which would be nothing special. But I liked where it went with her interactions with the cartoon characters, such as the way she got offended by them singing the title. And it was novel the way theres two competing narratives going on here. Theres the main characters interpretation of herself and then theres the way everyone else sees her, which gives us a surprisingly deep dive into her personality in the span of only about half a minute.

While the song wasnt anything groundbreaking, it was used very effectively to tell the story. It felt like they were going for an intentionally cliche 60s sitcom sound with the way the cartoon characters sang crazy ex-girlfriend, which fits with how self-aware the intro is. As a result, the theme song had an unusual sense of charm to it that you dont hear much of these days.

Im sure they were also going for intentionally campy animation, and despite its simplicity, I wouldnt say the animation ever looks bad. Each of the cartoon characters is drawn with a distinct look, even if they all have the same incessantly cheerful expressions.

I enjoyed this one, it was fun.
