NO spoilers. Season 1 review (for a good reason).
Story - 5
This is an episodic comedy, it's not story-driven, but that is not inherently a negative, and it's certainly not a bad thing on the case of this series.
Character - 7
Characters are consistent, memorable (not always) and very diverse. Characters are simple, with exceptions (yet likeable, with exceptions). The contributions from simple characters are usually good, but at one point one of the characters gets obnoxious.
Art - 6
The designs are better than that of the manga, to the point where the mangaka adapted the anime's design of the MC. The difference of the art's quality between
...
the manga and anime is abysmal. Visuals are not the show's forte, but they're good enough as to contribute to the show's enjoyment.
Sound - 7
As a note, the dub changes the ending theme, which should also sound during ep 20 (that episode also has puns so i recommend watching it subbed).
The SFX simply works and doesn't get obnoxious. The OST is good (and i'm not just talking about openings and endings), but i'm honestly being a bit subjective there. The voice acting varies in quality between characters, with a few great ones really standing out (such as that of the protagonists), but overall it's fine.
Enjoyment - 9
Despite the aforementioned, it's comedy is still stellar, and it's overall a really enjoyable anime, but it might not be your cup of tea.
The comedy features well executed boke and tsukkomi, adult jokes that do not rely on ecchi nor explicit vocabulary (like you see on western cartoons for kids), good slapstick and puns in japanese, among other forms of comedy.
The first season of the anime adds a lot of content to the episodes, lots of stuff that didn't happen in the manga (it's a good thing in this case, since it's not useless filler, but extra comedy).
The order of events changes, and, while it's usually not worth mentioning, in this case it affects how entire episodes play out (not a negative though, it adds to the enjoyment of the series). The order of events is less impactful on future seasons, but due to one of these changes there's a scene in S2 which makes a character less likeable than it does in the manga.
Overall - 7
I personally got quite attached to the series, but, no matter how much you like it, i recommend a break before rewatching it (be it anime or manga).
