I did take my time to write the review because i wanted to think about why exactly i disliked this anime. Concerning Art and Sound the series is in my opinion and experience rather OKAY. There were better made anime in that time but there were much much worse ones.

The storytelling and the idea of the anime are pretty okay too. But what really ticks me off about this series is the obvious forceful behaviour to push and pull a non-heteronormative person into their predefinied position in society. Because of external influence a boy becomes a girl. That is a rather modern concept of breaking ... the habits and the rules our society embodies concerning the sexes. But the entire show focuses on ridiculing the "unnormal" behavior of a boy who is in the body of a girl and of the surroundings that tries to force this "unnormal" person into the heterosexual heteronormativity or reacts with great irritation because a girl dont act in the way she is expected to.

The protagonist themself is written in a way that they is nothing more than a pawn in the hands of those who decide how the society has to be and is completely denied to find their own way.

This series reflects in my opinion the normative, sexist and forceful aspects of modern society in which there is still no completely accepted place for intersex and transgender people either let alone for men and women who dont want to be restrained and repressed by the rules of their secietal sex.
