It's definatley the type of anime geared towards people who want something cute, substantial with a little bit of fan-service which seems to work and not offset any bais on whether or not to veiw the series. The story follows a group of girls all ranging from different ages who fall in and out of love while also discovering what it actually means to love. It's not cheesy and the stories are realistic and often funny, and most of the jokes are very well placed.
Art:
The art works in favor for this anime because it's detailed in the character expressions and has this type of fluid motions that really help the story progress. The facial expressions shown propell the story forwards and show that sometimes diaolouge (internal or not) isn't really needed.
Sound:
The opening was a little too cheesy for me, but the ending fit just fine. The music throughout the series was unnoticable (and I only say that because I don't remember it) except for one moment where all dialouge is cast out and is replaced by a song a few minutes before the show ends.
Character:
All of the characters are really fun and loveable. At first they seem to be pretty cookie cutter characters, and a few times they even mention thier "complexes" for thier preferance of boy or girl. Because of it's light-heartedness the characters range from being meek, to overly loud, to keeping everything hidden or over the top in some of their actions (but the series pulls it off very well). However, some characters featured in the intro or outro are hardly developed, the viewer sees them one time, they state what they do and they occasionally speak to the other characters but there is no real development. I just found it strange that they were added to the intro/outro in slightly memorable parts when they had little to deal with the actual show.
Enjoyment:
10/10. I couldn't wait to see the next episode, and sometimes I stayed up really late just to see as much as I could.
Overall:
It's a short series that ends on just the right note. It doesn't make the audience want MORE because everything concluded very well (it wasn't a fluffy ending, everyone had thier different realistic endings which was super refreshing). If it was any longer then I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much, but it's a great series to watch if you're in the mood for something not so much meaningful as it is entertaining in how relationships develop.
