I'm gonna go off of what the other people writing reviews have said, and agree that you have to watch the whole show to get the complete enjoyment. There are a lot of weird twists that don't make a whole lot of sense until the very end, but it really is worth it to get to the explanation. Even I had to force myself to watch some of the episodes because they made virtually no sense whatsoever, but I'm extremely glad I did.
Story: 8/10
It didn't take much to draw me into the story, but honestly, the pacing was terribly shaky in the beginning. It didn't
...
make a whole lot of sense to me what was going on half the time, but it was still enjoyable. I actually really enjoyed learning about each character and seeing Mari, Moe, and Mizuki's relationships --as well as Goto and Masayoshi's -- progress throughout the show. A lot of things seemed bizarre and completely random, but everything falls into place as the show goes on, so it's definitely worth it. The ending is what really made the story for me, though.
Art: 8/10
I actually really liked the art style. I was hesitant at first because of it, but it actually grew on me quite a lot. There aren't really any intricate character designs, but I think that helps humble them and make them more relatable.
Sound: 7/10
The voice acting in the show was spot on. It felt like everyone's voices fit them, and the soundtrack was really good as well. Sometimes it felt a little out of place, but it usually worked out pretty well. I also enjoyed the openings, and the endings were really cute.
Character: 9/10
I loved the characters in this show. It's true, sometimes I didn't understand the reasons for the things they did, but for the most part, they were amazing. They were extremely relatable, and about 97% of the time likable. Towards the end they start to hit home more, especially the story with Goto, and the development of him and Masayoshi skyrockets.
Enjoyment: 8/10
I found this anime to be undeniably peculiar and difficult to finish, yet I still loved it. It was funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and just a fun show in general. It was as random as it was depressing, which I guess gave it a good balance. While it's true I absolutely couldn't stand the Flamengers Arc, the rest of it is amazing.
Overall: 9/10
I'm giving this a 9 because I felt the ending truly sold it. During the period of watching the show, the lowest rating I gave it was a 5, so even I'm surprised I gave it a 9. I even debated dropping it until I saw the other reviews saying watch until the end, which I'm extremely glad I did. The ending was the satisfaction I was looking for after all the bullshit in the episodes prior. All in all, it's a good watch and I recommend it highly as long as you can stick through the rough patches.
