Looking at reviews can only mean either of the two: 'Is it worth watching?' or 'I've finished watching it, I wonder what the others thought about it'. This review contains a perspective suited for both, without spoiling the story.
(important note: towards the end, the series didn't stick to the original story from its source (manga). So if you're one of the people who take the accuracy of the plot based on its source meticulously, then watching this series would be a waste of time.)
Good Points:
- Art
The art was able to emphasize the mood for most of the scenes especially for sentimental moments that required the
...
effective usage of aesthetics.
- Sound
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the OP alone made up for the shortcomings of the show.
Bad Points:
- Weak MC
Weak MCs are common and is considered as a cliche, especially in a genre such as Romance. Nevertheless, there is always a limit as to how a character can get indecisive and unassertive, and these were traits that only got worse in the story as it progresses.
Having a weak personality gives a character the potential to improve and grow, but making it as an unchanging trait only drags the down the quality of the story.
- Inconsistency
One important aspect in every series would always be its consistency. What makes this show inconsistent is its inability to maintain a natural development between the relationships of the characters.
Overall: 7/10
Provided that the show managed to leave a good impression on me during the first half of the show, I couldn't bring myself to score lower than it is based on how the animators ended the show, knowing that they did not follow the source material.
Instead of an anime series, it seems that the show was created for the sole purpose of promoting its manga but does a horrible attempt in doing so. It leaves the viewers either not wanting another season, or tempts them to read the manga instead in hopes of finding better plot progress.
A show only gets disappointing if it started out good but fails to stay as is towards the end, and this series is definitely one that fits the category.
