The characters are cute, the story serves the purpose and I like most of the show so far. So why can't recommend it and gave it such a low score? Because for some reason that I just can't understand, the author decided to turn this into a ecchi show at least once every episode. Not only do I despise ecchi, but this isn't even the "right" show for it! It's supposed to be cute and wholesome, not lewd and perverted! I don't want a lewd dress, boob shots, armpit shots, slime tentacles etc. I want to enjoy a simple and sweet romcom. It could've been ... great but instead it's just sad and a waste

This review doesn't contain big spoilers, but I added a spoiler warning because it will give away where the anime ends in order to explain the general rating of the show.

Another sugar sweet romcom by Yamamoto-sensei. As a huge Takagi-san fan, I really loved this one as well. The reason why this show is only rated a 7/10 is because the ending makes it seem like he's gonna confess now only to reveal that he hasn't reached his goal yet. The reason why I'm still rating this so high is that this is not really the ending. Sure, it's where the anime stops, but it's ... obvious that the story just isn't done yet and the manga still continues from this point onward. If this show had a second season I'm sure it would be taken much more positively, but as of now it unfortunately doesn't. Don't let this discourage from watching it though, because the manga actually ended in november 2023 and the first season ended pretty much halfway through the story, so there's definitely a chance that they will pick it up and make a second season soon, which would conclude the story.

As a huge Initial D and car fan I was excited when this show was announced. The trailers looked promising and there was even eurobeat! What more could you want, right? Well, except the classic 80s and 90s cars of course but that's a different topic. Anyway, when I watched MF Ghost I wasn't disappointed but also not impressed. It was not bad but not very good either. The car parts were pretty nice. "But this show is about cars, so shouldn't you be happy when the car stuff is good?". Well, unfortunately a huge part of this show is fanservice (and not the gear ... head type...). This goes to the point where characters are talking but all you can see is a close up shot showing only panties. This was so bad that I kept wanting to skip those scenes but I was afraid that I might be missing parts of the story if I skip those conversations. I completely fail to understand why they'd think that people who watched a multi season anime all about cars (and some unsuccessful love) would need sexual fanservice in order to be entertained.

Honestly, this show kinda grossed me out and I will probably skip fanservice scenes in the second season even if I miss some content, because I don't want to see this shit! I'm sad and frustrated that they went down this path because there could've been more cars on the screen instead of wasting screen time for something so unnecessary. But again, the rest was pretty good so I'm still giving 6/10.

While this anime is pretty good, I can't give it more than 7 stars. Why? Because no anime - no matter what it is about - should give the viewer such a hard time getting through the first three episodes. Seriously, the first episodes are literally the girl bullying the boy. Later it changes more to teasing, but the biginning is just way too hard to get over with. At least give the viewer something to believe that it's gonna be worth sitting through the beginning. But they don't do that. The only reason why I kept watching was because I didn't have anything else ... to watch.

This review may seem like a rant, but that's not what it's supposed to be. After the first episodes, it gets very solid and the anime is worth watching. I don't really have anything more to say without spoiling too much.
