Soo...when I first heard about this anime it didn´t really catch my eye. I didn´t know much about it and on a first glance I thought I´m probably never going to watch it. But things changed, rating of this anime has grown and so has my interest. Finally, I told myself that since it´s airing, I might as well catch up to date and then decide whether it´s worth watching or nah. And I´m incredibly happy that I decided to do so. Of course, I will try to reduce the number of spoilers as much as possible, but I recommend being careful if you still ... haven´t seen it.

Story – 9/10

So, the whole storyline of TR is built around time traveling. Takemitchy (main character) can travel exactly 12 years (not more or less) back in time, and the whole point of the story is that Takemitchy tries to change unpleasant future by changing past. I think the story was made very creatively (some people say it´s similar to Re:Zero, I mean there are some similarities but I don’t find it that similar), there was a lot of interesting plot twists and I can´t remember getting bored for a single time. As a cherry on the top, there was a nice cliffhanger in the last episode, and I will safely assume that we can be looking forward to second season :)

Art – 8/10

Art in this anime was decent. And when I say decent, I mean decent. I got everything I needed from it, it wasn´t a masterpiece level of artwork, but I was more than satisfied. Picture was clean, transitions clean, everything was nice and colorful. And I kinda like the fact that they didn´t overdo the graphics that much. It makes it more real and relatable.

Sound – 9/10

When it comes to sound, I got absolutely everything I wanted here. The OST´s weren´t that remarkable, but on the other hand, the OP (Cry Baby) and the first ED (Koko de Iki wo shite) were, in my opinion, extremely good. Also, the VA´s did great job, I found Takemitchy´s VA a little bit, how would I say it, well he didn´t suit me that much. But that´s just my honest opinion.

Characters – 9/10

Characters in this anime were amazing. I really appreciate the fact that most of the characters were made easily likable. Of course, you still have some villains there that nobody likes, but that just comes with it. Also, one thing I would note is probably that I don´t really like the protagonist…Well it´s easily ignorable since there is plenty more characters to like, but still, it pisses me of a bit. I don’t really fancy the “all time weak protagonist who can´t really do anything except for cheering for others and is always less popular than side character” type of protagonist.

Enjoyment – 10/10

I will be quick here. I.FREAKIN. LOVED IT. Every part of it. I was always eagerly waiting for new episode to come out, and there was no particular moment that let me down or I expected more of it. I extremely enjoyed watching this, there was a lot of twist to think about, there were comedy moments that made me laugh (especially Mikey…hella good character), there was a tiny bit of fan service but don´t expect much, and then there also was some nice heartwarming romance.

Overall – 9/10

Sure, there were some little things missing in this anime but c’mon, it was great. Never expected to enjoy it so much, but here I am, and I absolutely don´t regret watching it. I absolutely recommend watching this a can’t wait to see the next season.

This review sums up everything that happened in the first 7 episodes, and it may contain some spoilers (just a little bit).

Story - 5/10
First of all - the story isn´t bad, that´s why I rated it mediocre, I just feel like it isn´t the most important aspect of this particular anime. The way Naoya builds his harem is simple and the story doesn´t have any interesting nodus. Unfortunately, I must conclude that simplicity of this story often reminds me of some hentai.

Art - 8/10
I think the art style of this anime was made pretty clean, characters look nice, graphics are smooth, and it excels especially ... in good usage of bright colors. Only thing I would point out is the fact that Naoya´s face is, in my opinion, a little effed up, but that´s just my honest opinion.

Sound - 5/10
Honestly, when it comes to sound, I just can’t help myself from thinking that it is extremely average. None of the voice acting performances seems to be somehow standing out. The OP does not irritate me or something, but it is not the kind of good OP that sticks in your head, and you can´t get rid of it.

Character - 7/10
Even though none of the characters seems to have very remarkable personality, I still like the way they are made. Most conversations do make at least a little sense, and almost every character is made very likable (the anime gives you basically no reason to "hate" any particular character).

Enjoyment - 9/10
I must admit that I quite enjoy watching this series. It can be really funny sometimes (well, it´s a comedy....), and I would say that it suits well for a "side anime" (since you don´t have to focus on the story too much). Also, it has some good fan-service.

OVERALL - 7/10
In conclusion, it´s an anime that is not very serious and does not drastically stand out in any way, but it´s very easy to watch, can be funny and has a nice fan-service.

Also, this opinion may differ from the one I will have when I finish it so don’t take it too seriously :)
