A little girl esper child-soldier teleports from another world into a rich top-brass Yakuza's apartment and breaks all the expensive furniture. Terrified, he lets her live there. Feeds her. Lets her go to middle-school as if she were his daughter. Wait a second, what's this caregiver setting?!
A mix of Nichijou and Alice to Zouroku, or a mix of Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan and Beelzebub, with bits of Gintama sprinkled on top.
12 episode slice adaptation of a manga.
(it seems because of rules about the representation of Yakuza on TV some content wasn't adapted.)
10/10★ - Exceedingly ridiculous and unexpectedly captivating.
Strengths: way-over-the-top comedy, character development.
Weakness: too few fights despite Yakuza, esper and kung-fu characters.
Great animation, clever comedy, and such endearing child characters I briefly felt I understood what a daughteru is about. Surprising in many ways.
The very first few minutes of the anime is all you need to realize you must watch the entirety of it. If the quality of the animation, the faces, and your "what am I even watching?" bewilderment doesn't do it for you, the first good chuckle or out loud laugh will settle the decision. The first episode is filled with madness that leaves you wanting for more, and rest assured the rest of the series delivers it.
The consistency of "what?" moments is genuinely admirable. Non-sense so uncommon and lacking reasoning that truly seem to come out of the mouths and minds of little children. Normally, as stunning as gags may be in-universe for the characters, once you get a grip on the style you know what to expect. This doesn't apply for Hinamatsuri. It keeps going beyond your expectations.
Perhaps what allows Hinamatsuri to do this is the unfamiliar character development embedded in the series. The way gag and slice-of-life genres are often combined, characters tend to remain constant no matter what they go through. Stuff gets added, nothing gets changed. Saiki is always Saiki. Gintoki is always Gintoki. But that's not what happens in this anime, and that adds extraordinary value to it.

Details
A comedy slice-of-life with great gags and character development. Although there's a tiny bit of sci-fi, super-powers, and kung-fu fighting in it, those are largely irrelevant during most of the series.
The gender-ratio is balanced, but most screen time is taken by middle-school girls. It's not a rom-com, it's not ecchi. There's some partial nudity with the camera angle covering the naked body.
Despite the murderous background of Hina, there's little violence through the anime besides some Jackie-chan style kung-fu fighting.
