Honestly, this is just an average anime except for one reason, and one reason alone that sets it apart from 99% of the other generic crap out there: the characters' relationships actually go somewhere.

That's right kids: the main protag of a rom-com actually gets somewhere, instead of just endless cliché mechanisms to avoid any kind of real romantic progression. That, by itself, is worth something, and makes this a cut above the rest.

As far as the rest of the story, there isn't anything mind blowing. You won't cry, you won't be incredibly attached to any characters, and you probably won't laugh out loud at ... any point. You will have the satisfaction of a plot that actually went somewhere though, for once.

This will be a short review. In many ways this anime is average, but yet at the same time far superior to 99.999999% of all harem/romance/comedy series. Why?

Despite some shortcomings, the story actually progresses, the characters actually progress, the main male character isn't a complete Q#$%*#^ idiot, and....drumroll please........*spoiler*:

HE ACTUALLY PICKS SOMEONE BY THE END! That by itself, earns this series a 10 rating from me, because it actually tells a complete story, instead of most harem anime that are just trying to bait you into buying the manga. Either that or the writers are too cowardly to actually resolve the ... romantic situation for fear of making some fans disappointed.

Let's sum up this dumpster fire in one sentence: Stereotypical weepy impotent boy is weepy and impotent for six episodes while every cliché plot device plays itself out in cliché order to the sound of crappy violins and bad midi music.

If that sounds harsh, well, it is true. Spoilers ahead.

Story: Oh look, he has a childhood friend. Oh look, he's about to confess but the phone rings, and again....and again......and again. Oh look he's about to confess but a bad guy kidnaps her. Oh look, he's about to confess but a talent agency wants her and they tell him to break ... up with her, which he almost does because he's a weepy impotent boy. Seriously. Every bad anime cliché ever in one place. It doesn't get any worse than this.

Art: Pretty average. Nothing terrible, nothing great.

Sound: Really pretty bad. Corny violin music and bad synth. Enough said.

Character: The characters are as badly written as the story. You'll roll your eyes so hard so often you might go blind watching them. The boy is weepy and pathetic, the girls are weepy and pathetic. Cliché cliché cliché!

Enjoyment: By the end, I just wanted it to be over. I didn't care about anything, and was just downright irritated that I wasted my time. If I could give enjoyment a 0 I would.

Overall: 2/10. Dreadful. Why anime writers keep pumping out these cringe-worthy cliche train wrecks is beyond me.

A very simple minded and poorly done anime.

Story: The anime is broken into separate story lines following several different characters. All of the stories are obnoxiously cliché and simplistic. If you are looking for food for thought your brain will starve to death with this anime.

Art: Basic and not terrible but nothing that would count as high quality. The female characters all look very similar with kind of masculine odd-shaped jaws.

Sound: Bad synthesized background with a few acoustic overdubs. A kid could come up with this on his $80 Casio keyboard form Wal-Mart. Wasn't even good when ... this anime was new.

Character: This is really the killer for this anime. If you are going to do 2-3 episode story arcs you have to have noteworthy character development in that short period to grab interest. Every character is as vanilla and mundanely boring as it gets. Watching this is like driving in neutral.

The overall experience of this anime is just mind numbing boredom. Soon you will just want episodes to be over so you don't have to listen to more mundane dialogue with crappy midi music in the background. I wouldn't wish this crap on my worst enemy.
