Story:9 (call me crazy, but I liked more the way the promised neverand ended in the anime rather than in the manga...)
Art:8
Sound:9
Character:10
Enjoyement:9
Overall: 9

Story:9 -- as I said, call me crazy, but I liked more the way the promised neverand ended in the anime rather than in the manga... they did their best to achieve the best ending without leaving it open, they gave us a similar ending but changing how the last manga's arc developed, giving a more heroic development to main characters and the ones that needed redemption for their past; it was rushed and skipped like 70% of arcs past 1st season, ... but they gave us a complete story instead of ending at goldy pond arc, if it were an original anime, people would end up praising this season

Art:8 -- pretty good, nice backgrounds and animation, no complaints here

Sound:9 -- good OST, good job making it work with the scenes

Character:10 -- excellent characters considering is a shonen anime, with weaknesses, moral dilemmas, and as said in story part, they managed to give them even more heroism in the end

Enjoyement:9 - rushed, skipped 70% or more arcs... doesn't matter for me, they worked hard to give the best possible way of ending the entire story within just 11 episodes, don't blame production team, blame the ones who decided this is the last season, otherwise we could have ended with something like hoshiai no sora, which I also liked, but having an end is better than having 1 or 2 more arcs to fulfil nothing in the end

Overall: 9 -- it's all said before, but let me repeat this: "call me crazy, but I liked more the way the promised neverand ended in the anime rather than in the manga..."

Story:8 -- adachi to shimamura is a slow yet pleasantly pased romance set in school, this is not the ambitioust part of the anime, nor it is the main reason to watch it, BTW; the storytelling, something usually overlooked is great, the inner conflicts of characters drive at least 50% of the plot.

Art:10 -- beautiful character design, specially how vivid eyes are, backgrounds usually vary colors to fit the feelings of scene and characters, slow motion scenes to fit dialogue, the only questionable part is light fanservice, I'm not bothered by it but some people ... can find it disgusting

Sound:8 -- sound fits perfectly with scenes, it's definitelly not innovative, but it works perfectly, opening and ending are fine, but not something to remember later

Character:10 -- best part of the anime, they look like real and normal people, the internal conflicts are seriously taken, the self-acceptance is a strong driver for character development, there are also theories around about a main character suffering a disorder, I'll not spoil here, but novel readers have a point there, and is trully incredibly well driven

Enjoyement:10 - slow romance showing in credible ways such life transitions and self-acceptance conflicts, I have to say, I couldn't believe who the author of the novel was... this is just too good compared to his previous work...

Overall: 10 -- all that said, I'm really enjoying this anime

Story:7 (actually... there's no story, more like pure FUN)
Art:9
Sound:9
Character:8
Enjoyement:10
Overall: 7

Story: there's no story here, just a superficial plot, but it doesn't matter, this is just for fun, and there's lots of it here

Art: 9/10, moe, moe and more moe, is perfect for it's genre, it's not an ambitious anime, but it does everything right. (how can I summon one of these teddy bears?)
...
sound: catchy and apropiate for the scenes, everything just flows, opening and ending are pretty good too

character: not much to say, it's just pure moe comedy, BTW; all characters are perfect for it, it's also cool how comfy it is because of character interactions

enjoyment: 10/10; just perfect for sitting and watch 24 minutes of joy and relax, is not ambitious as I said before, but it does what it has to do

overall: 7/10, this anime is kinda moe and relaxing, nothing more, nothing less, I can't put a higher score because it has to be compared with animes like new game, flying witch or maybe sorayori, but I don't regret watching it

TLDR (actually not): how can I summon one of these teddy bears? please, someone tell me :(

this is my first review, I'll try to be short on this.

STORY (7): my overall score for this anime is 15/10 on the first 8 chapters, then, the quality of the plot fall and the real end is very disappointing, predictable and seems forced, and even an open end on 8th episode is better than it

ART (7): excellent work on animation for a -not common to see- draw style, by the way, it respects every little detail seen on the manga

SOUND (8): pretty subjective from my part, but, for me the OST works good with the scenes seen on screen, an excellent ending and a ... decent opening

CHARACTERS (9): most of principal characters have excellent development throug story, definitely my favourite part of the anime, more explaination than that would be an spoiler, I'll only say, you'll love every women in this anime.

ENJOYMENT (8): 10/10 overall for first 8 chapters, then it's a bit painfull to see the decay of a potential masterpiece, my recommendation, consider the 8th chapter the end, and delete chapters 9 to 12, it's better to have an open end for a masterpiece than a mediocre end for something that, with another season anouncement, would have ended like it deserved

OVERALL (7): masterpiece at the beginning, and one more of the anime mass at the end, responsibility of the sudio that forced an end apparently to anounce a movie for this anime, worth to watch by the way
