Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi

The initial premise of this anime promised a lot, and the promises were kept.

There are 3 delightfully different pairings, so there is something for everyone, with vastly different pacing.
The mystery about the true identity of the female main characters was cleared pretty quickly, but that wasn't all that bad.

Sure, some moments or characters from this show can be annoying at times, but rhat doesn't make them less endearing.

The show makes great use of miscommunication and misunderstandings for comedic purposes and clears them up pretty quickly, which avoids the oh so typical frustration from many RomComs.

The ending of this season left things pretty open, and offers ... a great starting point for a season 2, and I really hope that there will be a second season

While most of the anime was enjoyable, the story unique, and more or less fun to watch, one of the protagonists is absolutely frustrating. His indecisiveness and how he deals with his problems are downright childish.

While the other 2 male protagonists seem to grow, however painfully slow, into their relationships, Hagi behaves like a child on the playground, not facing his emotions and playing this roundabout game in his head. It was extremely frustrating to watch and even less to understand his decisions and/or character motivations.

I hate how he was written and it takes away from the entire feelgood element of the anime. This was ... going to be an 8/10 until the last episode made me have an extreme distaste for Hagi's limp-wristed character.

I liked the idea of this show, at least what I thought the idea was: a romance where the girls are tomboys. Tomboys rule and aren't usually very well represented, so I thought it could be fun.

Instead what I got was a bunch of tropes and repeated jokes for 12 episodes straight, but now they're "crossdressing themed".

This show accentuates by a lot the problems I have with anime not accepting gay people in our society as something normal. There are ENTIRE EPISODES dedicated to Hagi (this show's most annoying character) just worried if he's gay because he's attracted to a women who cross dresses. He's ... such a good example of how anime thinks how funny a dude being gay is.

Besides all that this is just one more painfully generic show that does not even try to explore characters besides seeing them in slice of life, and for a slice of life show, there are a whole lot better you can do.

Also the show has a non-ending, literally just stops in the middle, and I have my doubts about the existence of a season 2
