This is my second review ever. Lets start by saying that this anime is in the genre Shoujou Ai and won't be for everyone and it was definitely an interesting watch.
_Story 8/10 : The story in this anime revolves around the relationship between two teenage girls named Yuzu and Mei. Due to the marriage of Yuzu's mother and Mei's father they end up living together as step-sisters. Because of this they have a relationship that is not simple at all and with their feelings it gets even more complex. A lot of the show consists of Yuzu dealing with her inner demons and asking herself
...
questions such as "what do i want/need?" and "what does Mei want/need?". The pacing was very good in the beginning of the show (ep 1-8) but near the end of the show it became slightly more frustrating to watch because of how Yuzu handles situations so poorly. The story is pretty unique and it was refreshing to watch. I give it an 8/10 instead of 9/10 because of the bad pacing near the end and because of a certain character but I shall go into detail on that in the character section.
_Art 10/10 : The art in this anime was outstanding and it was one of the best I have watched in a while. In the first episode when I saw Yuzu with her makeup on it looked really weird to me and I really disliked it. However she ends up not wearing any so that was good (for me at least). The character designs in this anime were so good. The way each character looks different from one another was very nice to see because of how many anime I've seen where the girls all look the same. One of the best things about the visuals in this anime was the characters eyes. Mei's purple eyes just look so awesome and the colours of all of the school uniforms and hair looked superb as well. The background art was also very good in this anime and at some times looked almost like it was filmed instead of drawn. I give the art a 10/10 and the only negatives were how the lips looked kind of strange and Yuzu's makeup was just so weird to look at.
_Sound 6.5/10 : I give the sound in this anime a 6.5/10 because it was not anything special but it was also not bad. Like most anime it was just there and forgettable. However the music never seemed out of place and the opening was not that bad as well.
_Character 7.5/10 : The characters in this anime were really the deciding factor in its success or failure. Lets get into the important ones.
Aihara Yuzu - Yuzu is one of those characters in anime that is overall liked and she doesn't seem to have any real downfalls other than being somewhat dense. She is always trying to understand what is going on in Mei's head and she is usually unsuccessful which gets frustrating at times. Overall a pretty good protagonist.
Aihara Mei - Mei is another character that seems to be one of your general anime stereotypes at first (the cold tsundere/princess), but you will quickly realize that she has many reasons to do the things that she does and her depressing backstory added a nice touch of drama. She is not honest in her words or actions at all which leads to many situations that could have been avoided which is annoying at times, but its a part of her personality so it wasn't that bad. Her character added a nice sense of darkness and also realism as well.
Mizusawa Matsuri - All I can say about Matsuri is that she was by far the worst part of the show. The only purpose she served was to halt the progress of Mei and Yuzu's relationship. She has a twisted personality and is unreasonably mean. Her part in the show was very annoying to watch.
_Enjoyment 8/10 : Overall this anime was very enjoyable for me. It has a nice mix of drama/darkness and those heartwarming moments. The ending was very good as well and no strings were really left untied. The supporting characters were pretty good and were not overused which was good. One thing about this show is that often times the way that Mei and Yuzu force themselves on each other can be somewhat disturbing to watch. When I say "force themselves" I'm not talking about raping each other or anything like that, but they steal kisses from each other and its sometimes uncomfortable to watch. The characters don't really get phased or traumatized by it so it doesn't have a real everlasting effect.
_Overall 8.4/10 : In conclusion this anime was very good and the art in this show is so good that I would say its worth a watch just to view the art. The story and pacing was pretty good and it was resolved nicely. Overall this show gets a 8/10 from me and I don't know why it has such a low rating on MAL.
