Poor lip syncing with the dub and just overall bad. Looks like they could've done something decent with 12 episodes and a reasonable budget but this was just very bad.
Lots of people criticize this season, but I love Koneko and Akeno's character arcs and didn't read the manga so it doesn't bother me. I still think it's great even after a rewatch!
Super slow. Basically nothing happens until episode 11. Lots of potential, but I can't say it was executed well. I give the first 10 episodes a 6 and the last 3 episodes a 9. Overall, I gave it a 7 because there's more slow/bad episodes than good.
I'd love to see more of this anime. I feel like it's probably not well known, and that might contribute to it's somewhat low score on MAL, but I had so much fun watching it! Gotta love Merry, right?!
