It's bad.

Objectively, it's bad, but I really enjoyed it. It's a classic messy shoujo that will piss you off to no end, but it's so brainless that you end up feeling really relaxed while watching it and it's really fun to just sit back and pay half-attention to. There's some genuinely good character development and some likeable people, some really sweet moments, and some inconsistencies that will make you kind of insane.

If you like brain-rotting shoujo and need something less-than-serious to get your mind off of things, this show is perfect! Tsukushi will make you nuts, but you'll love her anyway. Have fun.

We all know that going into the show blind gives a very good surprise-- and it does! It's very fun, and even if you sort of know what's coming, the twist itself is very unique and delicate, and there are actually a couple more twists later on in the show that caught me by surprise.

Overall, it's a slice-of-life with some messed up setting. It has seriously sad and difficult moments, and can be brutal and gross, but it's also very funny and sweet. The teacher was my favorite (she was so sweet and earnest, plus I loved her design), and girls are all cute, I ... really liked them, but I do wish they were less sexualized... unfortunately, though, showing full body scanning shots of high schoolers in bikinis is just the nature of the beast and difficult to avoid when watching/reading a series not written (or illustrated) by women. They all sit nicely in the usual archetypes for anime girl personalities, and they don't really go much farther than that depth-wise, but they're still very sweet and likeable.

I'm a real sucker for "power of friendship" stories, and I like this type of twist when it's done well (and it was), so I had a lot of fun.
