If you want a romance story where you feel like punching the MC's face, then Kanojo, Okarishimasu is the best anime for you. Kazuya Kinoshita somehow manages to be written as a disgusting combination of a wuss MC and idiot MC, and yet the story cannot work if he acted otherwise.
The music is great, and the animation is above average. And honestly, it's a good adaptation of the manga too. However, because of lack of empathy towards the MC, the overall story falls short and it also doesn't bring many new things to the library of amine out there.
