My favorite sort of material is the kind that has a nice duality, actually - the kind that can transition from silly to serious and back again without being shocking.
The Slayers anime is a good example of this - it has plenty of goofy moments, right next to plenty of serious ones too. Transformers Prime managed this plenty of times as well, along with getting that nice nostalgia feeling. Really, if you can pull this off with any sort of writing, you'll probably have my interest readily enough.
As such, I try for a similar thing for Chachan. Yes, he's a childish goofball character... but he can have his serious moments too. He's just a bit dim at times and his serious moments can get... a little overly dramatic. It's something I need to work on, really.
