So, I've read the Visual Novel before watching the anime and this review will be based on my knowledge of the game.

The soundtrack of the show is really bad at times, which is a shame because the VN has some good songs to it. While the art style is bad at times and could use a few more in between to check on it, it doesn't really take away the enjoyment.

If you haven't read the synopsis yet, I highly recommend that you do. The main character who lost his dream of becoming an artist is the main aspect of the show that I liked and ... can very much relate to. Hiroki the main character, is a pretty okay protagonist, not too clumsy and not too nice. I didn't like Elis in the novels but the anime developed her character a lot better and did justice to her character. Kiri started off similar to her visual novel counterpart, but as the story goes she gets surprisingly better than in the novels.

The show did a good job on telling the characters' motive and back story. The characters interact with each other well especially the side characters, who were given enough time to shine and development.

While the romance of the show is not the strongest part, the comedy is enjoyable, especially if you've read the novel. Unfortunately the writing of the show leaves much to be desired as the closer the story reaches to the end.

Overall it's not a completely bad experience. It wasn't anything amazing, but it's not far from the worst shows I've seen, at least it had a conclusion. If you think about picking up this series I highly recommend reading the visual novels first see what routes you like and then come back and have a good laugh as you can guess what might happens next.
