Honestly, I love the art style and the characters, so colourful and different. The story started great, different from what I have seen so far but towards the end, it went completely downhill...
I like the idea of the anime - sharing pain, emotions, and thoughts with other people, but the execution in the series was not good in my opinion.
At first, I really enjoyed everything and was ready to rate the anime at least a solid 8, but then at one point, the plot started turning into this forced love drama, which was honestly so annoying to watch... It makes me so angry
...
even talking about it.
*spoiler alert*
Let's take Niko for example, her character is adorable, she "believes" in fairies, wants to be friends with everyone, etc. All great. And then suddenly turns out she is into Tenga??? why was this necessary? She is interesting enough on her own, there was no need for her to be added to the 'love drama'... There isn't any indication of her being into him in the whole duration of the series. If she were to like someone I would've expected it to be Maki and honestly, that would've made a lot more sense. It would've even added to the plot a lot more than her being into Tenga.
And then ofc let's talk about our beloved main character Kacchon... I love him honestly, or at least I did until his crazy obsession with Sonozaki became too much for me.
Alright, I get it the boy has past childhood trauma but was that whole love drama even necessary? The story would've been a whole lot better if he ended up with his not-totally-out-of-her-mind childhood friend - Chidori. It could've been such a cute story and it would've made sense - she confessed that she liked him at the beginning of the anime... I don't even need to explain, it all adds up if you've watched it. But no... then the Sonozaki obsession goes too far. Seriously I loved her character too, but this witch is totally out of her mind! I get why Kacchon is so interested in her, especially bearing in mind the flashbacks he was having, however it would've been enough if they just ended as friends. It is extremely unrealistic that he still 'loves her so much' when he didn't even remember her at first and they were only spending time together for a short amount of time as children. I really hate how she intervened with everything and overcomplicated things.
The anime could've been great without the whole 'love drama' aspect and even if there were to be some couples I think those would be the ones that would make total sense and add to the story:
Chidori and Kacchon - childhood friends, neighbors, she always takes care of him, he begins to get his emotions back and understands her feelings
Honoka and Niko - Niko is so keen on being friends with Honoka, but she refuses bc of her past trauma yet Niko reminds her so much of her beloved Ruru that she gives love a second try // or Yuta and Honoka - idk they just had some cute moments and he seemed to care a lot about her, so I think they would be a cute couple.
The other characters are great on their own in my opinion. Everyone would've just become best friends and Sonozaki would join them. Happy ending.
In conclusion - all characters are great on their own, the idea is also great, however, the story got ruined because they forced it too much and it became a very annoying soapy love drama at the end.
