A few reviewers mentioned how this anime is slightly more realistic with its depiction of relationships, and that is true for the most part. Many character fall in love and out of love, are rejected, and circumstances keep them apart.

The problem is that for one or two cases it seems like a romance was just cobbled together, and sometimes the reason for it working/ not working is so "anime" it takes away from the realism of the others. The episodic nature of the show also means that its swings from cliched over the top anime romance to drama style romance, only sometimes finding a ... happy medium.

The characters aren't something we haven't seen before, but their interactions are feel a bit more natural than most anime. But like I said, some are grounded in reality, while others feel like they should've been in a different show altogether, the problem being the stories intertwine and these clashing depictions of people and their interactions meet.

Finally, there was a clear point in time where the art suffered from budget or time constraint, one episode being painfully obvious. The show picks back up to a point where its art is comparable to become, but by this time the use of stock footage from previous episodes came more into play.
