This show is unbearable, even for a hate-watch. There isn't even enough happening to laugh at it.
Right now I'm into 3rd episode, in 9min, a character has entered MC's apartment and another character is ringing at the door. There wasn't anything you could call a dialogue, just non-stop inner monologue of pervy MC + flash-backs of things that have already been recalled already in the last two episodes. At this point I can only think the anime is purposefully stalling, but...stalling for what ?
There is nothing to keep me watching except wondering why people find this enjoyable. There aren't any relationships to follow between the
...
characters, I can't even call them characters.
MC is a self-centered idiot, his only elements of characterization are : he's shallow, likes fish, he's dirty (trash all around his place), he's a virgin and has no social skills to save his life. At least he has some things, just not enough and not even one positive.
Shizuru is written to be a "best girl", there isn't any competition for her. She's pretty, driven and is way to much patient with the whole cast. I don't even understand why she talks at MC out of the rental dates, is she that lonely and naive ? (Don't think I like her particularly)
Blond girl is portrayed like a sort of yandere...but doesn't seem to care about MC, even dumped him. She just does stuff to move the "plot" along.
Short hair girl has one of the stupidest "love at first sight" justification I've ever heard. She's supposed to be his girlfriend to fake some kind of conflict I guess, the show forgot her.
Shy girl is nice and shy, that doesn't make a character but at least she's not insufferable like all the others.
Why should I care about any of them ?
This could be an entertaining trashfire...if something was happening at all. The pacing is dreadful between inner monologue, hollow dialogues, flash-backs about things that happened one episode ago or even a few minutes ago, you could summed up everything happening in one sentence or two by episode without missing anything. I'm aging just by watching this nothingness and the whole is too immature for me already. I'm feeling a bit insulted even with how everything is overexplained/overanalysed and somehow dumbed down...but there isn't anything eventful or complicated happening here !
None of the characters seems to be able to communicate like a human being, every situation is cliché, fake, characters hide things for no reason (not even talking about bad ones, just none) except to keep things even slower.
The art is the only thing to keep here, I can't remember anything about the voice-acting or music though.
At least the anime production seems like they are trying to do something decent, a shame that they're the only ones.

I think this is one of the worst anime I ever watched. I tried not to spoil anything important that isn't in the first episode.
The art is pretty mediocre. In the first episode, the fight scene was great and it was overall good. All the episodes since have been lazy, the characters look off-model half of the time and it ruins the "waifu-esque" designs. I feel like the first episode was just bait and animation to use for trailers. In the later episodes, there is a chase scene between a mecha and a giant monster, great action right ? No, this was so boring, one
...
dimensional, there was no effort put into it.
The sound is forgettable, the op is generic and I can't even remember one background soundtrack.
Now one of the real problems is the characters. Siesta is the only one I can even call a character, she has a personality, motivations (weak but still better than the others) and even if she isn't the greatest, at least there is SOMETHING. The others are the blandest cliché, the MC just follows the plot and Siesta, I can't tell a single thing about him except "he looks like a blasé salaryman", Nagisa is a tsundere with oppai and...she follows him because of plot. (There is a reason but this is so stupid and also, spoiler). The idol one has a nice chara-design but the animation doesn't help it and except "she's an idol" and "she's rich" there isn't much going on, they tried to make her "complex" with some lies and kinda manipulation but...it doesn't go anywhere and it was pretty much nonsensical, I just seemed to me they tried way to hard to appear smart and complex with her.
And last but not least, the plot : it doesn't make any sense and it's getting more and more ridicule. I'm always asking myself...WHY ? Why is Siesta a detective ? "Because justice"...okay, but why ? Why pretending this is cyborg bullshit ? There is a werewolf who can shapeshift in a episode and the only justification is "he has a cyborg nose". Just call it magic, this is much less confusing. There is also a big and evil corporation who does evil things 'cause...evil I guess, I still don't have a clue.
Siesta has a magical rifle that shoot bullets of her own blood to make people obey her, great but...how ? And why doesn't she use it after the first episode ? Everything is explained by cyborg body parts and nothing makes sense.
"The detective is already dead" was the part I was the most interested in, that's a bold choice, it could make great narration and an kinda original story I thought. But the show makes a big timeskip and then lots of flashbacks, how is the detective supposed to fell dead if I see her every episodes ? Maybe it is grief because the character still "see" her everywhere, maybe I'm giving it too much credit.
To conclude, because I'm getting salty, it has potential and didn't make anything good with it. The production isn't bad, the plot is the main flaw with the characters.
BUT I do recommend watching it because this is one of the best unintentional comedy I have seen so far !
