Hey i just finished watching all 26 episodes. Awesome anime! No nudity and very little sexual content. The manga is loaded with it but the anime is clean! It's pretty much just a romance so if your interested in that kind of thing it rules! I loved it and am sad it's over because they probably wont make another season.

THEM seemed to think that there was a very fair amount of fanservice in the show, saying: "The amount of fanservice increases over the show's timeline, with later episodes causing bulging eyes from the sheer quantity of it. Definitely for those older than 13."

It depends probably on the definition of fanservice one uses.

I thought it actually had less fanservice as the show went on. The first episode was the worst and it actually wasn't that bad. I don't know, maybe I'm too soft on my judgement?

I just went and looked up the anime to have a look. It seems to be a typical boy-girl romance/comedy of errors. Having the female lead be a high-jump athelete is kind of a nice twist to the story. The nudity (and yes there is nudity in the first episode) is limited by proper hair arrangement and cropping. This series is probably aimed at teens, especially considering the high school setting.
I'm not big on this type of story, so I didn't watch much more of it to be able to comment on the rest of the series.

I take it this is a normal boy meets girl type of show and not one where the boy has some deep dark secret like he's really an alien or the girl's actually a robot or something else wierd like that.

As far as I could tell, yes. The boy is a "typical high school boy" type - the same kind of lead male as seen in series like Ah! My Goddess and the like. Likeable, short dark hair, thoughtful but clumsy and prone to screwing up without intending to. He was (like in many series) the last picked from the waiting list for his new high school.
The lead girl is a high-jump athlete going to his high school because she was scouted for her athletic ability. There are expectations on her that she'll become an Olympic athlete for Japan.
The other characters (the boy's relatives, the classmates, etc) are fairly staple characters.

Yeah it was hard for me to get into at first because it did seem quite unoriginal. But I gave it a chance and I ended up being able to connect to the characters quite well and I did end up enjoying it. I'm not really a huge fan of that genre either but this one was good. I guess you have to be into that kind of thing though. Thanks for the comments.

Fanservice occasionally happens in the manga.
