Passable, it's not bad but the anime visual could be much better considering the LN is quite well known in Japan and the manga has nice artstyle.

Anime Mahiru looks like blonde Sayu.

The animation is the only thing holding this show back from being entertaining imo. The ost is great, the characters are alright and the main character isn't annoying.
But god the visuals look so bland and generic to the point it's hard to watch, not sure if I'll be continuing it. I'm probably gonna do the 3 episode rule to see if it's worth continuing.

the moment i gave up on the visuals is when they were inside the school, the inside was so fucking bland and the outside waa just a white void, they didn't bother adding an outside background

Not bad, looks like your average sol adaptation. Project no.9 is a decent studio at least.

I mean it’s the iconic project.9 art style, that studio is basically bred to draw the same characters for every anime but they’ve at least gotten good at it. For me, a run-of-the-mill Project.9 rom-com is almost like tradition at this point, only thing was the absence of the also iconic Dialogue+ opening 😔

Now this is gonna sound revolutionary to you, but the point of the anime is to capture the moments in your manga/Ln (Light Novel in this case).

So when you have a novel series that has great illustrations... You kinda want that same quality from your anime adaptation.

We are looking pretty bad in comparison to other romance anime this season. That's to say nothing of comparing us to the seasonal Isekai.
Hell we have an ecchi show about a dog with some girls, and it has better visuals.

A rom com benefits from three things:

1. Voice Actors to convey their characters' emotions (we got this).
2. Facial animation to show those emotions from Point 1 (We are lacking to put it kindly.)
3. The visuals and backgrounds to match the moments from the Light Novel illustrations (We are not even hitting the broad side of the barn on this one)

So while I do understand the sarcasm in your "animation in the Light Novels", I ask you to also take that sarcasm and apply it to the "illustrations in this anime", because they are bordering on non-existent.

First thing I thought about when I watched this anime was: "this feels like Horimiya, hope it's as good". When comparing this anime to such masterpiece you instantly notice the sub par animation.

Don't like it at all.

this is going to be revolutionary to you but you can't actually compare illustrations to animations, since illustrations usually don't include movement and there's far more work into them than into a frame for a tv show, so it's obviously they would be of better quality. Compared to animes I've seen in the past, this one is pretty well made.

I am calling bullshit on your " Compared to animes I've seen in the past, this one is pretty well made."
If you are watching most if not any anime from this season, you would know how subpar we are in comparison.

Oniichan wa Oshimai! <---better
Inu ni Nattara Suki na Hito ni Hirowareta <--- better
Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! <--- better
Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san 2nd Attack <--- better

" but you can't actually compare illustrations to animations"

The Definition of Animation below.

the technique of photographing successive DRAWINGS or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the movie is shown as a sequence.

Because our eyes can only retain an image for approx. 1/10 of a second, when multiple images appear in fast succession, the brain blends them into a single moving image.

just saying something is better doesn't make it better but alright, animation means moving images, comparing a show to only 3 others is plain stupid, you have one gold ring and 3 diamond rings, that doesn't make the gold ring cheap. But hey I'm not the one to talk, since I didn't 'watch' the light novel and i don't have the right to have an opinion on this. Ln readers should be happy to even get an adaptation, since this isn't the most famous Ln to ever exist and could have been easley skipped. I don't even see anything particularly bad in the animation whatsoever , it's great until now.

story is really good though, and really dont think its really similar to horimiya. it just uses a pretty commonly used idea.
hope you give it a few more chances though!
tenshi focuses a lot more on the main character rather than focusing on side characters relationships. not there arent any, you find out when you meet chitose in the anime.
i am really worried for the anime success, because the LN really deserve a worthy adaptation.

I feel like art style + animation quality are big factors for romance anime. Without it a show with as good a story as this one (I've read the LN up to what's translated in english) will be forgotten purely because of how generic it looks.

The studio will be the reason why this show wouldn't be the potential best feel good romcom of the year. If I hadn't known about the LN (which btw i absolute love) I'd have probably dropped it in the first ep itself and wouldn't even have bothered to look more into its source material. Let alone discover that mahiru is no. 1 LN female character of the year and amane is top 3 and it's a top 10 best selling LN.

I'm readying myself as a angel next door fan for even more salt to the wound when roshidere gets an anime adaptation by a big studio like cloverworks or JC staff.

The animation is pretty standard, though I can understand where people are coming from. The LNs were very detailed in the explanations of the scenes, and the illustrations were pretty good. It's just that we can't expect KyoAni-level animation from Project No. 9. Plus, when reading, people augment the scenes with their imaginations, which might make it a different experience for everyone. In short, it's nice, we could have had better, but it's still entertaining and watchable.

The only thing I'm worried about is the pacing. We are two episodes in and already two-thirds of the way into the first volume (the second episode ended in Chapter 9 of 14). This way, the anime season might adapt the first three volumes and take us way, way into the series. It might also cut through a lot of the source material and just give us a single season with the first four volumes. If that happened, the anime would tank because the LNs are supposed to be a slow burner.

Like CloverWorks’ remake of Horimiya, maybe in a couple of years they could do the CloverWorks version of The Angel Next Door…

The LN readers may be a small number. (I am one of them.) But I’ve seen few groups that are as passionate. Creating less-than-perfect animation of Mahiru is blasphemy, like a bad cartoon of the Virgin Mary.

Personally I’m in the group that is just happy to have an anime, acknowledging that it will always fall short in some ways.

I only just started watching the anime this week, never even heard about the LN so without comparing it with anything.... I think the artstyle and animation looks outright lazy.
Maybe it was a deliberate artistic choice (and that is a question of taste I guess) but I get the impression they went with the cheaper option.
This is a discussion about the animation but I would like to mention the choice for this animation style takes the enjoyment down a few notches, the way the story is told is already on shaky grounds...
