I will say this first and foremost, prepare to absolutely hate every single character in this anime as you possibly can. The only reason I watched this anime from beginning to end, was because I was looking for an anime with some insane psychotic "Yandere", which isn't shown till the final two episodes really. If anything at all, I do not recommend anybody watching this anime as it's mostly a bunch of brain-dead bull one after another.
Every single character in this anime has something effed up about them. It starts out kinda cute and peaceful, but I assure you, it get's rather dark and disturbingly

near un-watchable pretty quick. Everything that happens in this anime will just utterly piss you off at how unrelateable the characters are in this anime. If you were looking for an anime that can piss you off, this one definitely rank up there in the top 5.
Overview: Alright, it starts out peaceful and simple enough, boy meets a cute girl on a train as they're on their way to school and he's at first content to just watching her from afar. Then (I believe?) on the first day of the new school year, the main male character Makoto Itou, is seated beside another girl that goes by the name of Saionji Sekai in the same class (whom is either the first or second female protagonist & "love interest"), who spots Makoto staring down at his cell phone of a picture he took of the girl he met on the train that he first has a crush on (whom is later introduced as Katsura Kotonoha, as either the first or second female protagonist & "love interest"), which she then proceeds to help Makoto to hook up with by finding out information about his crush in his stead.
After the fact; Makoto and Katsura do begin to date, how-ever, Makoto has trouble understanding the type of girl Katsura is in which he enlists the help of Saonji in the form of "special training" in learning how to correctly seduce the shy, timid girl Katsura whom is afraid of boys mostly for being picked on by other girls for some unknown reason in her childhood for being well endowed, having the curves in all the right places growing up, which in turn makes her irrationally afraid of being touched. The time spent during "special training" between Makoto and Saonji end up revealing their hidden lust for each other, and ultimately leads to Makoto cheating on Katsura with Saonji many times in the beginning and avoiding to meet and talk with Katsura.
Eventually, these rendezvous lead to Makoto misunderstandingly date Saonji and Katsura refusing and in denial to believe that it's over with Makoto that result in her starting her transformation first beginning as a character in a catatonic-like state often rambling and chanting to herself conversations that she hears in her head she believes she's having with Makoto and is often noted to appear as if she's talking on her cell phone even when it's painfully obvious that the batteries are dead.
The relationship between Makoto and Saonji take a turn for the worst in Makoto's character development as a sweet & innocent boy into a sexual deviant, eventually seducing every girl in his class and the class next door to sleep with him. As this story continues on like this for the entirety of episodes from 5-10, during which, Makoto's life is turned completely upside down when a heartbroken Saonji enters the class room for the first time in days to announce to Makoto in front of the whole class that she's pregnant with his child. This of course causes a huge issue with Makoto and displays the worst possible reaction that no pregnant woman ever wants to hear from the father of her child, Makoto tries to distance himself from Saonji so he can continue getting laid with the various girls in the school only to find out that they've all decided to block him and choose not to associate with him anymore.
The only thing I can say about this anime are the two saving graces that happen in this series. The first being one of my favorite characters, Taisuke Sawanaga, whom of which acts as this stories "comedy relief" as with any decent Harem anime, the main male character needs a perverted male friend character to bring it home. Taisuke is often seen admiring many women in the series and in one scene apparently from what it says on the wikia (I forget which page) it says that during the festival, it's heavily hinted that he raped Katsura, which in the next episode in my opinion this assumption is almost immediately debunked as Katsura appears to have shown consent. But the other "saving grace" of this anime for me, was the final two episodes. During the whole anime from nearly start to finish, in the middle you just really wish that Makoto would get just what he deserves for being such a disgusting scum-of-the-earth slime ball.
I can't bring myself to talk about the ending without spoiling it for anybody who hasn't watched this anime yet but I will say at least for me what I had been waiting for was well worth it to see the full-on insane psychotic Yandere to be had, which for me, it was definitely worth watching till the end.
Story: I give it a 3/10 (the story might have been good in itself, but the story-telling sucked)
Art: I give it a 8/10 (I loved the art and attention to detail in most instances.)
Sound: I give it a 5/10 (it was okay)
Character: I give it a 2/10 (really there should have been more in-depth focus on character development and character backgrounds)
Enjoyment: I give it a 7/10 (only because I did only watch it for one thing really, which I got what I wanted out of it, that being the "Yandere" moment)
Overall: I give it a 6/10 (it's worth noting that while a lot of this has some really bad ?/10 ratings that the psychological thriller in this anime is definitely there and it does do a pretty good job of covering that.)
That being said, please don't go into this anime expecting it to be some cutesy teenage school life drama "slice of life" thing, or you'll be either severely disappointed or if you're like me, you'll come out of it only a little disappointed but still somewhat walk away satisfied.

The concept of this anime's Supernatural Mecha story is interesting and worth watching if you don't mind a lot of key blank pages in its plot, at the start you'll see the protagonist caught up in a situation where he's first attacked, yet somehow magically after the fact meeting his assailant all is instantly forgiven & forgotten, with no visible motive for doing so. To put it plainly, it's as if the story telling is just so bad that people who you thought might be the villain ends up actually being an ally, without questioning whether or not they could be trusted.
