Poorly written,overrated Shoujo.No way that this deserves to be the best or Ultimate Shoujo.Apparently,There is this claim that this show has a wonderful way of resolving an abusive relationship,were a girl could keep coming back even though its bad.Ill tell you this after watching the show,that NEVER HAPPENED.
Let's start with the premise.Apparently everyone in the class treats the main character as a ghost girl worth avoiding.This is unrealistic as she doesn't really look like that,Its just the chibi art doing the work.People aren't that shallow in real life.Making fun is fine, but the show expects me to think that this is a legit conflict.
Then naturally the Gary Stu male lead,Kazehaya steps in to "show his presence".He gets ALL the girls to like him due to existence alone.(Am I watching a generic harem)?He is exactly like a plot armored, male lead in a Shonen harem.
Naturally the only dude who so happens to like only the female lead.He "stands up" for her and everyone just changes their mind and becomes more accepting in just one scene.The people who so happen to SIT BESIDE HER automatically becomes her friends.
The pacing is terrible, the first episode seems fast; One Episode Meisters of anime fandom would say is "good writing",but a story is not one page.Then it becomes very slow for padding.
The character development is bad.Having the plot bend automatically to the protagonist's will.She evens pulls talent after talent out of nowhere making her "accepted".She is still the same girl by the end of season 2.after all this,but with the world revolving around her.
Kurumi- She is a horrible as a rival and as character !Everyone in the school was dumb enough to believe her rumor lie,and no matter what she said to Sadako,convient moments of ignorance form Sadako stop her from being a meaningful threat.She is like a competitive harem heroine.
Ryuu-SALUTE TO OUR FALLEN COMRADE IN THE BROZONE!Out of the blue his love interest says that she likes his brother.He points out the flaws of this show,so I kinda sympathize with him.
There was even this one time where the male lead confesses to Sadako,and she somehow did not understand!The show dragged itself for the last 6 episodes for this moment of plot induced ignorance.
Oh yeah this show has FLASHBACK episodes,despite how mundane this show is.
Sadako has no real flaws.For if she did have an actual character,she would considered by some as a" bad character"; it removes her blank slate self insert status.Its setting may be 3D,but its plot and characters aren"t.Girls here have no self worth without their males here.Kinda ironic.
At least this serves as a guide as the most generic Shoujo ever;to watch only to get the tropes.
