To express your impressions of what you see or your evaluation of the situation, use "[adjective] + soo desu." With NA-adjectives, take away the "na" at the end and attach "soo desu." With I-adjectives, take away the "i" at the end and attach "soo desu."

"-soo":
As with "omoshirosoo" or "looks interesting" and "oishisoo" or "looks delicious," when you want to express impressions right after seeing something, omit "desu" and say "-soo."
