Did anyone ever count the number of bath scenes in this anime? I think I'm up to 15 on episode 12. Yes, there's at least one per episode excluding the last episode (that's less of a disappointment and more of a congratulations). The episode 10 bath scene just kept going, by the way. Even when they're shooting up the bath scene, the bath scene still continued...

Cough, this show is very straight forward: backstory sequence of what world they'll now fix (how a certain character met the alpha driver more or less), fighting/fixing that world (lasting one or two episodes), ... bath scene(s), any defeated character's clothes gets torn and some nice censor lines come inbound, and repeat until the worlds are fixed.

The story, broadly, is about a team of "drivers" (at least, I think that's what they're called as a whole; cough, I saw the first nine episodes like a year ago) whose bonds are weak, but grow in strength through the hardships they're put through. I mean, that makes me feel better about the twelfth episode, but their hardships are honestly an extreme word for the whole situation (when the five planets come together -> explosion).

Lemme go 6 for story.

I love all of the bad key frames more than anything in this series, to be honest. That alone made the anime enjoyable (I'll say a 7 for enjoyment and a 6 for art). The characters are alright (typically go through the same process of being a "slight" friend of Saya to a "good" friend of Saya with each predicament). I'll go 5 for character. Though Ramiel on the dark side was the best character: https://puu.sh/vBf86/fc8e5f68a5.gif (40-ish MB gif)

OP's good and ED's alright. More than anything for sound though, I hate Stella's race car sound effects (please, no more was all I thought by the end). I'll go 5 for sound rounding the overall to just about 6.

I'm quite surprised that this is rated as well rated as it is on MAL. Ahem, this ONA series tells a story about a couple, Reo and Mai, and their regular time together. The story is pretty linear, and of course, there's no filler (it's an ONA about a visual novel and only 6 to 10-ish minutes each episode). The linearity of the story made me enjoy the series a lot more than if it wasn't. As for characters, Reo's a little generically shy/tsundere, but Mai's teasing of Reo is great especially in the later episodes. Some major bad things ... about the series however: microphone peaking quite a bit (Reo mostly), the volume mastery is par at best (too quiet at times and too loud at others--the VA's faults), and the animation/art is just basic visual novel assets (of course, imagination helps).

Story: 7-ish
Art: 6-ish
Sound: 6-ish
Character: 7-ish

Hm... I did like the series personally (despite having an easier time finding the hentai than the ONA series, seriously). I managed to find it on youtube after searching in Japanese, so I ended up just relying on my existing knowledge of Japanese (the language was pretty simple, imo).

Ah, almost forgot to say: I loved the intro/outro song way too much.

Overall (while rounding up): 7
