I really enjoyed watching this anime, but at the same time, I felt that there was something missing in my life -- the Ao Haru. Where did you go, my friend? I really miss you (although I've never had it in my life).

Story
The story was well constructed. The first two episodes were like a prologue, and the main story starts from ep 3. I feel that this way of starting an anime is really good since it tells me sufficient knowledge that I would need for the later episodes. Also, since the anime flow back and forth between Character's past and present, it allowed ... me to engage with the characters a lot.

Art
The use of art in this anime was very well done. By drawing the past scenes (scenes when in junior high schools: Yr 7-9) with a touch of watercolour makes it very good (sorry my vocab so bad. Can't find the right word to describe this, but it's really good. Elevates the story into another level).

Sound
Love the OP, BGM I think suited the scenes.

Character
Character development is one of the best things that was shown in this anime. Especially the main character Futaba's character development through flashback allowed me to engage with (or sympathise with) her a lot.

Overall
Very sweet love romance/slice of life anime. Need coffee when your watching. I recommend this anime if you like these sweet SEISHUN anime, that reminds you of the time when you are in high school (or reminds you that you were missing something very significant in life).

I don't know how many people enjoyed watching this, but I would say this show is not worth watching (although I am not saying you shouldn't watch it. The show itself wasn't unbearable to watch).

Story
The story wasn't good but was decent. I liked the idea of this anime, especially about the dolls. It's not something that you cannot understand or keep up with, but the story was poorly structured, therefore you kind of get lost sometimes. I also felt story weren't as engaging so I can watch the anime, but couldn't really enjoy it. The let down was the last episode, where so many new ... things just came up and I just stopped thinking about what was happening. Like seriously? Why would you put new stuff at the end? Just to leave people with confusion? I feel like this entire anime was a prologue and I haven't reached the main bit of the anime.

Art
Was ok.

Sound
Didn't like the op, but that might be just because of my taste. BGM didn't really bother me so I am guessing that it all suited the scenes.

Character
There's just too much going on with the character settings, especially at the end. It makes it hard for me to keep up with the story. And let me say one thing, although it might be a spoiler. Where is Raff gone? Well, it was fine for me cause I didn't really like that character. Although at the start of the anime good side and the bad side was stated, later on, shows that we cannot label these characters only with good or bad through their positions, but we can only see characters one by one and understand them, so I kind of did like that.

Overall
Not a total rubbish but not one awesome piece to watch. Decent anime. Couldn't engage as much with this anime, but was an ok show to watch. If you have nothing to watch, maybe watch it. If you really want to enjoy it, you might have to go read the manga after the anime since the last episode.
