The mockumentaries in the beginning are mostly a foreshadowing on what is going to happen or a metaphor to analyze what are the characters doing. Take in the first episode:Patatitta wrote:

I have opinions
This is a weird 90's OVA. And I personally didn't really enjoy it too much. The story is about a girl that travels back in time and goes to live with their ancestors. After that, the family starts to collapse and the space police gets involved.
This feels less of an anime and more of a theater play. There is very little actual animation or movement. Most of the shots are static shots of the characters looking at the camera. And a lof of the time, instead of actually doing any action, they are either repeating what happened in a previous chapter or just saying some other thing
The actual story is fine, but I think that there are a lot of scenes that really just makes the anime drag. For example, each chapter (with the exclusion of the last one) starts with a fake documentary, that while it is funny. I don't see it contributing much to the actual anime
I don't really have much else to say, I finished it but I didn't really quite get into it

SPOILER
The cockoo is a metaphor for what Maroko was going to do to the family, she infiltrated in there and was the cause why the family collapsed, taking each egg out of the nest, just like Maroko managed to leave behind each member of the family on each episode.
Also yeah recommended it because of the unusualness factor, while I did enjoy the interactions and the quirky dialogue, as well as the wtf factor that the overall anime had. I can agree that the pacing is quite slow and not for everyone, but there was summary movie that lasts like 70% of what the story which I think I should have recommended instead but I don't recommend stuff I haven't watched even if I know the story.
