I don't get it. I don't get the hype. It has a bland story. Almost no romance. No comedy.

A little more about it. The story is meh, at best. I'm not saying you can't enjoy it, I'm saying it is meh. Bland. There is something that seems like the start of some plot elements, but in the end its light, bland, meh. Some forced drama, but still light.
Next, no romance. Some cutely scenes, but thats it. You can't say that makes it a romance. Imagine a 2-hours war movie with 5 minutes of some people hugging and calling it a romance. Yes, the ... last chapters make you happy/giddy/whatever, but still it can't be called romance.
No comedy. Some funny moments, some comedic actions, but thats no comedy.
The art style is ok, I guess. Nice designs, the action scenes are good.

And thats about it. A little bit too long, meh story. Yes, you might get a little excited along the way (mostly towards the end chapters), but still not enough to understand the hype. I guess people are still confusing "I like" with "good media". You can also like bad media (manga), there's nothing wrong with that, but do know the difference.
I'll go with "mixed feelings" and a (barely) 5 rating, just for the sake of it. I mean, its not bad, but I wouldn't recommend it either. Its almost like a waste of time. You can read it to pass time, or just to read stuff. Or maybe for the art?
Have a lovely evening.

I don't get the hype for this one. So, quickly:
The story is meh. Bland. More like a slice-of-life rom-com. Everyday stuff that sometimes also gets some romantic tangents. Thats it. Yes, some of it is funny (it really made me laugh in the first chapters), some of it is quite romantic, but still nothing to write about (not even in a review). People around them do stuff for/with the main couple. There is no character development, nothing "heavy". Ok, maybe a little bit of character, but mostly its implied and with some low effort. She changed because she wanted to and because the people around ... are all bubbly (thats a word, right?) and wholesome. Great mindset, ofc, but still meh. Most of the story is kinda copy/paste. The supporting cast is trying to help with the progression of their relationship, by "forcing" them in different situations. "Lets do this, lets do that". Different bland stuff, with its main purpose to get them closer. Thats it. Like I said, it is funny (sometimes), and you can even say that it is sweet, but still repeatable bland stuff. It works in the beginning, but eventually you will get bored. Ok maybe not bored, but impatient. You kinda want the end result already.
Next. The art-style, the designs are ok. Or good. I love this kind of girls, with lovely forms and abs. Some nice drawings, some wrong proportions, but nothing to put you off.
So, at the end of the day, this is something that helps you pass time (if you had nothing, really nothing, else to do). I'm going with a 5 (barely) and "mixed feelings" only because I consider it slightly above the "not recommended" threshold. Being bland, neutral, makes it a loss in itself, but you can find some good stuff in it, some idea of a character development, so "slighty above". Definitely no return value.

Have a lovely day.

Oki, I'm going to do this the other way around. So.
Although I'm recommending this, its not a good anime. Because "recommend" implies liking it and you can like/enjoy bad media. But the rating is: 7.
I know the sauce, but I'm gonna review this anime, this season only. Spoiler free.

The visuals are amazing. I'd say thats its strongest point. The art style, the designs, the color palette, the animation, VFX, cinematography, everything is very good. Sure, there are some tiny problems with high lvl combats, because it is hard to make a 10 sec animation when the manhwa has a page with just a few ... panels, but still ended up enjoyable.
The audio is good. The ost is decent, the OP is very good (with visuals on par), the ED kinda meh (with visuals on par). (Side note: the OP is a wet dream for those who read the manhwa, lots of references you won't get them in this season. Also, the scenes are out of context, so you can watch it safely, won't spoil big time). The VAs did a good job. I need to say that the MC's VA is (subjectively) very good; when he gives commands its exactly how it sounded in my head. Also here, for the new character in 12th episode (spoiler free), I was hoping a different style of talking. I've always imagined a different tone.
High production value, good mixing etc. I'd say all is the same as last season, or maybe even a little bit better.

Now, the big things. So. Usually you go for the "bright" stuff at the start of the story (1st season/volume), to hook the viewers in. And they did. They gave us some sort of a back-story, world-building, how the "magic system" works etc. Then you need to get a bit serious and go a character arc. Or more, of course. So, the plot got a bit more easier to follow. But we didn't get a character development. Or, not really. We found out more about him, sure, but that can't be called "growth". (Sometimes it feels like they went the opposite way.) If you feel generous, you can consider this season still as part of the previous one, something like "introducing a couple more supporting cast". I mean, the production certainly does, the episodes' title continuing the previous one's numbering. So this isn't 2nd season per se, more like 1st season 2nd cour (as some other anime like to call it). Enough about this, lets get back.
Like I said, the story is the same, an easier to follow plot, some kind of character development (for others), new characters. The main "issue", the MC is still OP. Even when the fights get intense, its not like we're worried for him, more like we are curious as to HOW he'll win. But thats a general problem with any source material from China or Korea. Almost all MCs are like this, with some "cheat level" powers, so its not like I had high hopes. Don't know about "we", but at least I'm waiting for that moment of awesomeness when he smirks and then destroys his opponent. Maybe its because I know how the story goes, so I'm not that invested in it. There are a couple of things I don't like in the source material, so I already know that I'll also won't like it here then it will happen. I'm mostly watching for the visuals and some over-the-top action scenes :))) At least, you gotta admit that the idea behind the story and the colors used for the designs are fantastic :)) Oh, while on this subject, I don't like what they've done with the new character from 12th episode (again, spoiler free). The manhwa made it more "wow". The back-story, the voice (in my head), everything is better in the source. Just a fyi. Maybe some of you will get this reference: think Hunter x Hunter. When you see the episode, you'll know what I mean.

So, not the greatest season in terms of plot and character growth, but still lovely art style and enjoyable as fk. for the next seasons, the story will get better, and also a lot worse, so its up to you if you wanna keep watching. Again, you can enjoy bad media, but you DO need to know it is bad :)))
I'm giving it a 7, for everything studio related and some good ideas plot-wise.

Have a lovely evening.

Luckily (for me), this review will be short(er). Don't know the sauce, don't care for the sauce. This anime is sht. Spoilers free.

The animation, designs and VFX are horrible. No decent cinematography. Maybe a couple of nice frames, or even excellent one (most of them reserved for the last episode), and thats it. Sh***y soundtrack, the music (symphonic/heavy-metal/choir) always blaring while fighting occurs, like some epic thing is going down, while also some kind of music thing still goin on while no battle occurs.. The OP and ED are meh, it could be ok, but its not working for this anime. The VAs had no ... real work, always "angry".
The idea for the story might be interesting, but the execution is horrendous. Full of plotholes, sh***y dialogue, lousy exposition dump, no character growth, no.. Wait, I'm sorry. No characters. OK, there might be something like a shadow of a character for some of the extras, but at that point, I was already considering this anime dead and buried.
Yes, the first episode felt somewhat interesting, but you'll get over it prety quick. No characters, no background, no world-building. You might think there is, but thats not how you do it. And the cherry on top: trying to seem special by using the german language for episode titles and names.

In short: don't do it. Piece of garbage, waste of time. Or this might work for the manga's fans, but for the rest of us, yuck. Even the fan-service (at least I think that was their intention) wasn't good.
I'm giving this a 2 for some frames and for the wisp of an interesting idea. (and because I reserve 1 for pure trash, cause no 0).

Have a lovely evening.

Hmmmm. This is a tough one. Mostly because of the supernatural stuff. Kinda simple but I'll say meh, with some good ideas.

This is one of those anime that you wanna love but something is amiss and you can't really tell what. So, this might be a problem of adaptation. I don't know the sauce, I don't care about sauce. This is a review for this media, spoiler free.

The visuals are good. Except for the MC (dunno why, I don't really like it), the designs are nice/really good. Good color palette. Extremely beautiful landscapes/background. Same for VFX. Animation on par.
The audio is good. Decent soundtrack, good ... levels. Good OP and ED (and their visuals), VAs do a good job.
High production value, good mix, the cinematography is very good.
Yes, I'm rushing through all this because everyone can notice the high level.

Now, the tricky part. Like I said, this anime has some integral supernatural parts. Every time you deviate from the norm your project becomes harder to master. And thats because you need to carefully balance said elements or the world-building will suffer. A simpler example is the fantasy genre. Lets say you get some nice characters and an interesting story, but you feel like you want to add magic. As in magic spells, not pizzazz. Well, if your magic system doesn't have some strong rules, your story will have plothole after plothole. I'm sure any of us can come up with some anime title where this happened. The same goes for supernatural. You can have a little more freedom, but some rules MUST exist. If someone asks "how the fk did that happen?" and your answer is "'cause its magic/supernatural", then you're doing it wrong. And now back to our stuff. This anime's approach to said elements is mostly ok. A couple of iffy parts, but thats ok, its supernatural ( :) ) The main issue is with the characters. And their relationship with the supernatural parts. The MC has a character arc, good or bad, thats not the problem here. What I'm talking about is him being dumb or quick-witted by how the plot dictates. And thats mixed-in with some supernatural elements. And yes, there are more examples/situations, but he's the main element that lowers this anime.

Spoiler free, so I won't say much. The story is kinda interesting in the beginning. After a while it kinda becomes something like mini-arcs for each girl: 3 episodes for developing his romance with this girl 3 for the next one, and so on, and so on. Not a bad thing per se, but makes you raise an eyebrow. Again, probably this is because of the sauce, maybe a volume had chapters of one girl only. Dunno. While it does its job, of characters' development and relationship advancement, after a while this kind of storytelling becomes boring. Do keep in mind this is a 24-episodes season, so if people want to know how it ends, it feels too long. Oh, also: the comedy is meh, the romantic angle is ok-ish. A personal note, this anime would've gotten a lot better if MORE fan service was added. Something shiny to distract you. More so when you have such lovely visuals. But then again, the MC is a wuss, so maybe its ok as it is. Another personal note, I like the way the title and the last episode ties up ( I'm sorry, I had to do it...).

Thats about it. A good-looking anime, with good ideas, but meh story and elements. Probably very enjoyable if you can turn off your brain. I'd say no return value, because there's is nothing to make you wish rewatching it.
I'm giving this a 7 ( it really should be a 6, but ok) for the extremely nice backgrounds, some nice ideas, some character development.

Have a lovely evening.

*sigh* This sh***y so-called rom-com anime ended. *sigh*

The good things: I don't know. The drawings for eyes and the sparkly stars & bubbles bokeh overlay? I mean the same, generic, nowadays stuff. Thats like saying, I don't know, drinking unpolluted water is good?

Visuals are meh at best, mostly yuck. The way they walk, the designs, the color palette, animation, everything.
The audio is again meh. I haven't noticed the soundtrack, or I don't remember it. The VAs did their best, I guess, but you can't feel it with that crappy script. The OP and ED are meh. Yes, it is on par with this anime, but ... nothing about it made me remember the beat, the melody, lyrics, something. I'd say ED is a lil' better than the OP, but the bar is sooo low. And I say that maybe because the OP's visuals (I've already said that I don't remember the songs) are heavily about some 5 girls and its horrendous.

And now, the "fun stuff". I don't know how or why this anime got greenlit. I mean I DO understand why an anime would, but why this one? The idea: she wants to charm him, so she does or tries to do something embarrassing. Every episode, even 2-3 times per episode. The idea of repeating something is ok. Multiple anime and tv shows do this (csi, supernatural, some hospital etc). The difference is in HOW you do it. An anime example: Teasing Master Takagi-san (I hope thats the right name, its been a while). A boy, a girl, middleschool, every episode is about playing games, punishment. Pretty straightforward, yes? Well, the visuals are simpler and yet beautiful, the inner monologues are funnier, the romance is better, the comedy is better. Three seasons of delight. Yes, lots and lots of episodes doing, apparently, the same thing. And doing it in a good way. You can't have plotholes, you must make us care about your characters, give them some character development. Well, we get none of that here. "Everything" that happens is a plot element. I'm not joking. For stuff to happen they need to force how that scene gets to get played. For example, they need her to get alone, with no way to contact someone. "How can we make this happening?". Well, by drawing a crowd that appears for 2 seconds, hits her, her phone gets destroyed, the crowd leaves. And then they do it again. Made worse by the fact that a side characters says "maybe her phone battery run out". And no, doing this kind of jokes does not make it better. This level of imbecile writing is on par with "We must cross this bridge because the other road takes too long. Oh, no. The bridge was destroyed by lightning". Maybe you know what show I'm talking about. If not, I'll let you be happy for a while longer.
Back to this sh*t. I don't know the sauce, I don't care about the sauce, but I'll guess the sauce is the same: bad. Ok idea, bad story, poor execution. The MC is kinda dull and no char (what a shi**y excuse as why he's "mean" to her!! I almost ended the review, forgot all about this, had to come back and insert it somewhere) She is no better, but you get more stuff about her and she's the one with the "accidents". And then you get the one-dimensional side cast. NO visuals, no audio, no char, no plot, no nothing. And we're supposed to care about them because....? We get some kind of a fan service. And I don't know if its a good or a bad thing. Because there are too few, gets passed over in a jiff and, mostly, are used as a plot device. "Oh no, for 3 seconds the MC can see her bra (and us, ofc), because she's without her shirt. Look at it, so embarrassing for her. Oh no, for 3 seconds the MC can see her bra (and us, ofc), because t-shirt is wet. Look at it, so embarrassing for her. Oh no, her panties." *sigh*

Long story-short: this anime is sht. No visuals, story, character. I'm giving it a 3, for some of the side characters, some drawings (not for him, fk that sht-ass design!!) and some VFX. If someone recommends you this, they are trolling you.

Have a lovely day.


PS: if you feel like watching something, check out that Teasing Master. It might help you forget about this one.

*sigh* It finally ended. The last episodes were a total bore. What started like an interesting piece, slowly became something else. I don't why, but for the last months we got nothing but sh***y romances. Class daikirai, marriage, office, the ones with the travel agency.... They look so good on paper and then you watch it and you find out its not. Yes, I know its hard to get a new "the dangers in my heart", but c'mon! We don't need the same level (yes we do! shhhh), but at least try... *sigh*

Anyway. From the start: the visuals are great. The designs, color palette, animation ... flow etc. All great.
The audio: also good (more than decent). At times, the levels might've been a lil bit under, but generally the soundtrack was mostly ok. The VAs were good. The OP and ED were fine I guess. I don't really remember them. Mostly so for the 2nd half, but thats because of the story, I'd say.
The production value seems high, the mixing was decent, the directing was good. The pacing is kinda all over the place (most of the times, seems to drag on for no legit reason), or maybe I'm wrong because I was annoyed.
Yes, I am ff-ing all of this because those are not the issue.

The story is meh. I can see what they were trying to do and I have nothing against it. But the plot is terrible. I don't know the sauce, I don't care about the sauce, but I will assume the sauce is the problem. Thats because the story has a feeling to it that goes from start to end, it doesn't feel like the studio went "You know what? Lets fk this up!". I also know that sometimes it is hard to adapt something thats written on paper, with no voice (other than those in your head) and you must give them life. Because what happens in one page doesn't need more than 5 seconds of visuals. And vice versa, sometimes "he is terrified for x" needs 2 minutes of visuals to make us realize as to why "he" is terrified. As I said, I get that, but I still think the author is the problem here. I don't know if he wanted to go this way, or maybe he never got an input for the anime's script (although most author have that when the OK is given), but the result remains the same.
So. Highschool, all sports, romance, blah blah, all of that. They needed a place where all the "main" people could meet and interact, i get it. Then you bring in variables. Also good. And then you go for changing the main protagonists. Wait, what? Well, true, it never was about those two only, but thats what we were left to believe, by way of story construction. Thats why the second half of this anime is sht. More or less, dunno where it started and I won't rewatch. You wanna make it a triangle? Insert the 2nd girl first. Make it so that she's asking him out or something. That way people will feel for her. But no, we got something meh. We get to know him and the 1st girl. Good, now we can get giddy, expecting stuff, waiting to see how their relationship will evolve, how they will develop as characters. Because thats why we're here. At least I hope its "we", all of us, yes? And so we get what it looks like the start of something, then the "2nd half" (again, dunno exactly when) makes it all about focusing on the 2nd girl. Her feelings, her story, her anything. The first girl is not out, but you can feel the shift. "Bro, she has layers, see?" I don't care about her layers! Fk her layers! You gave us a ship, then you try to give us something new. No, ty! Or are you trying going for something NTR? Then add that tag, pls.
I know drama is needed to make for a better story, but thats when is done correctly. Yes, I felt for her in the last episodes, but that was because of the visuals and VA acting, not because I was sad for her and I hoped she'll succeed :))) Also quickly, beside good old fashioned drama, we also get small misunderstandings, not having discussions like two normal human beings in a modern society. Especially from him. Some strong inner thoughts without a real reason behind those. Afraid and assuming. But I guess (or hope) thats intentional, made so by the author, to resemble a teen (a dumb one) and to help develop his character in the next season(s). Cheap tricks.
Next, character development. Well, not really. We DO have some attempts, some monologues, but I think those have the opposite effect. "I know it is bad, but I'm gonna take advantage of our friendship and do it anyway" is good for character development but that also tells us that she is a sht person :)) And yes, I am talking mostly about her because frankly I don't remember much about the others. I do remember that most of the first episodes were about him and the 1st girl looking to eachother and giving short answers for the entirety of the scene, while some monologues run in the background. But I don't remember if he has a character development. Sorry, thats on me. In my defence, I forgot most of the show when the "2nd half" started and the story's quality dropped. I got sick and tired of seeing Hina's face all the time.

So, an excellent artistic representation of a meh story. With cheap tricks for drama and misunderstandings. No return value. I mean, no matter how good the visuals are, trying to rewatching up to a point and then skip half a season, until the last 1-2 episodes seems redundant, don't you think? If it gets a second season I will keep watching, because now the story should get good. Plus, new pairs might become interesting to watch. At least I'm hoping "they" will become one :))
I'm giving it a 6 and mixed feelings. Like I said, no matter how nice it looks or sounds, if you make me skip half of season, because its boring or cringe, thats a no-no. But I'm sure lots of people will give it a high score and recommend it, so we'll get a new season, surely.

Have a lovely evening!

I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

Finally, it ended. FFS. This last episode drained me. If someone tells you this is a good show, they are trolling you. Or worse, they are dumb. Knowing how this series is supposed to be and how it actually is, those are two different things. I don't know the sauce, I don't care about the sauce, I'll be talking about this media, the anime. And on paper, this one should've been nice, if not great. But that's not what we got. Why? Well, because this is not a rom-com anime, with character development ... and such. And why is that a bad thing? Usually, its not, unless you're trying to do a rom-com anime with char development, which they obviously tried. And now, spoilers free.

The visuals are good. More often than not, you'll enjoy what you're seeing. The designs are nice, or even really nice. I'm talking about the "normal" form, not the chibi one (aka half of anime). Those are a personal preference, so to each their own. The colors are bright, all is shiny, the VFX (for the scary stuff) is good etc. Yeah, yeah, nothing wrong with the visuals.
The audio. The OP and ED are ok, I guess. Decent music, decent scenes. The soundtrack is ok, it doesn't bother. For example, in the last ep: something happens, the music is supposed to reflect that. When the tone (of the scene) changes, the music also changes. And thats good. But it annoyed me because the scene and the dialogue are sh*t :))) What else? Yes, the VAs did what they could with what they had.
But now the "good" stuff. While the idea for the story might feel overused and yet interesting, the execution is bad. You might not notice it in the first episode, maybe not even in the second, but eventually you will notice that the plot is broken. Or you should. One of the best techniques for giving/implying character development is the use of drama. Take the character(s), give it a conflict, let it cook, show us the results. Pretty straightforward. Use multiple instances for the whole season (or a main one and a couple of tiny bits) for the whole season and you will get a pretty flushed out character. Well, fk it! You could just try "make her jealous" one episode after another, of different people. "But no, you see, She has layers". Everyone has layers! You can guess what the subtext will be for every character. BUt lets get back to the plot. Like I said, drama is needed. Or preferred. When done correctly, ofc. But here stuff happens just to get the next thing happening. A to B, to C etc. Now I'll go on a limb and say the source material follows the same direction. Because you can feel something unifying all the dumb decisions and dialogue. The story is forcing you to follow one road only and stuff happens just to move the plot to the next step needed. Ofc, most people wont even notice this because the show also has a lot of "comedic scenes". The so-called two men routine. 1 person says stuff, "funny" stuff obv, the 2nd one will respond with "THATS what you were referring to?", Now pls laugh. Ok, to be fair, there are some comedic scenes and lines, but usually most of them are used as a ploy to make the show feel more put together. It doesn't make sense, I know, but its true. You have the plot elements mixed with the comedy and maybe you wont notice that the sh*t is broken. What else? Actually no, this review is already long enough.

Again, this is not a good anime. People should diferentiate already between "this anime is good" and "i like this anime". You can like bad stuff. Nothing wrong with it. Example: Madame Web. That sh*t was hilarious. The movie was horrendous (plot, lines, acting etc etc), but hilarious exactly because of that. So: if someone recommends you this show assume they are trolling you. You can watch it for the visuals, for the skits, for whatever reason you feel like, but do not expect an interesting rom-com. Imagine if this whole series was about trying to live together while comedic and/or romantic stuff happens. And I'm not talking about those 2-3 scenes involving lunchboxes, entering a room while the other person was naked, skinship etc. I mean we kinda got some stuff but we needed more, more stuff focusing on them two. What would be like to be forced to live with a person of opposite sex? Just now got this, imagine "Angel next door" something. I don't remember the correct title (and I won't check, sorry). A boy and a girl, living together, classmates mustn't find out, they develop feeling for one another, if not already there etc. With skits, with some drama to deepen their relationship, whatever you want. But I guess always yelling, and skits, and cringe-tsundere (I'll coin this term) also works.

Anyway, thats all (this time for real). I'm giving it a 4, mostly for the visuals.
Have a lovely evening!

Finally. This sh***y anime has ended. I can post a review.

The visuals are low-tier, the animation horrible, de designs are bland or yuck. Some ok (or not terrible) VFX, at times. There are a few (1 digit) super nice frames, but I can't remember them or tell you where or why those scenes are special. The audio is meh, at times even annoying. The OP and ED will give you a feel for a totally different genre.
Now the truly bad stuff. The story is horrendous and the plot is stupid. The script is generic and/or bad. No char development for the MC and annoying as ... fk. I hated him from his first lines. I thought/hoped he was made that way to give him a development, something. It never happened. Just watch it for the first 10 min and you'll get it. The supporting cast is no better. Excepting 1-2 characters, with a somewhat arc, the other ones are filer. Starting with that annoying kid.

Long story short: don't! The people who gave it a positive review are trolling you. Even if the season ends like something was achieved (although it was not), hopefully we won't get a second one.

Have a lovely evening!

MAL: Comedy, Romance, Adult Cast, Workplace, Seinen. Then maybe something easygoing, and funny, and chillin', right? Well, not really. Or maybe the life of a working adult, right? Again, not really.

The visuals are decent enough, the designs pretty nice. Bright colours, sparkly eyes, all that stuff. Great drawing where is needed, for example when focusing on a cake of something brand-like. Same for landscape.
The audio is ok. It won't bother you, but you won't remark it either. The OP and ED are decent enough, but probably you'll still skip it. The VAs do a decent job, but the show won't use them at their full ... potential. The production value seems good enough, not over the top.
As you might see, its a "nice, but" kinda show. And thats a problem. It gives you a feel for a slice-of-life but at the same time it is not.

So, the problems. Well, its a show with "adult cast" but it doesn't want to go heavily on the "adult" stuff. And I don't mean the sex stuff, we have implied scenes for that. I'm talking about the work angle. It should show us a boring slice-of-life day-by-day work stuff, while also their relationship. Nope, we get crisis at work, self imposed problems and such. The show thinks we get to see some personal struggles and character development, but actually we see a nowadays problem: you don't know your characters good enough and you put them in a bad light. For example, she screws something at work, he says some supporting stuff, she decides something, she has a personal growth. What he told her is something along the lines "you always think too much about what others think". In other words, this is not the first time happening, she keeps doing the same stuff and she never learned before. And only now, for the viewers, she does better. But that also means that she kept doing the same stuff over and over and over. Its not something major, life changing, but it shows you something about her and that the author never thought things through. There are more examples like these, but it doesn't really matter. My point is the drama is just for show, no real problems. To be fair, there IS some character development, its not all bad, but I was expecting more. My bad :))
There are a couple of comedy scenes, but those are forced in-between, just to have that comedy tag. Same for the romance. Again, to be fair, you get romance scenes, with nice drawings (sparkles, bubbles, sparking bubbles, blushing) that keep your attention on them, but the motives for those scenes are meh, looks faked, just for our eyes. I mean, its nice and all, but it feels like a plain romance relationship. Yes, we got a couple of nice scenes (both for rom and com) in the first episodes, but thats it, the rest is kinda meh. The selling point of this show was "(self-imposed) forbidden office romance". Well, this is not that. And without that, it becomes just a run-of-the-mill rom-com. Thats not a bad thing, but also, not a great thing. It just makes you mediocre, something thats lost in the crowd.

So, a kinda rom-com show, with some kinda character growth, with some decent enough visuals. Stuff happens, stuff gets resolved quickly. Kinda boring after a while. Still not a slice-of-life. And thats it. A jack-of-all-trades means you excel at nothing.

I'll give it a 5, mostly for for the visuals and designs. The show has not ended and I might edit if needed, but nothing will make it better, so I'm sure the rating will stay the same.
Have a lovely day.
