When an Opening is better than the anime itself...
TBH... I can't find anywhere but in the middle with this one, neither too bad or too good, just ok.
And the reason to this is that I can relate with other reviews on both sides.
For instance, DNK, does have a lack of development on almost every character. This is shown on how the important desitions the characters take are made in a rush and in a "just because" kind of deal. Sure, not every desition is made like that, but key scenes for development where like that, so there's not much to save.
Their feelings change
...
just as fast, this is why the desitions seems so rushed, this happens a lot with Hina for example. Natsuo on the other hand ended up being another harem/love-com/drama character like every other MC on this genres, how so? showing no common sense to its relationships and is blind sighted by (personal opinion) common trash, leading him to making dumb naive desitions.
The secondary characters are literally just filling to the plot, they really do little on the MCs life to be relevant and their development is practically non existent.
What about Rui? Well, she's the only character that actually feels right, she's not that dumb taking into count she's in love and a teenager, although she doesn't get much of work either, that's one thing that left me wanting more at the end. There's something about her that just fits and makes the chemistry with Natsuo way better than any other character.
That's why I didn't find this anime amusing and actually understood why, to others, dis likable. The development between Hina and Natsu didn't had that *click* to be enjoyable. The MC's attitude through the episodes just got worse and worse because of that.
Now why I'm in the middle? I did enjoy the first episodes, because they kept expectancy and tension going. Also it did felt way different than other animes with love triangles, like it was more mature and, in a way, serious(on the scenes and actions interpreted by the characters, no falling from stairs to each other, no accidental sexual touching, no much hiding their feelings when call up, etc, etc. The characters themselves were the problem). Finally for me what saved the series was the final episode, almost everything that went wrong to me, actually got a bit fixed. I found the closure I needed to be satisfied and just enough to not hate the whole thing.
Like I said, one thing that left me wanting more was the development on Rui. Her future ended open to viewers imagination, which I liked and felt totally comfortable with it and probably wouldn't have like it any other way.
