I usually don't write reviews - I'm horrendous at them. But I don't understand how people are writing positive reviews for this, so I wanted to throw my two cents in. I feel like some reviews are trying to justify this shit BECOZ GAY.

I understand the LGBT community is an under-represented demographic, but why don't we demand something better than the atrocities we've been receiving recently?

I just want good yuri/BL anime. I don't ask for much apart from 'let them fall in love, believably, and have a relationship that works and doesn't cater to the fucking will-they-won't-they formula, PLEASE'. Bonus points for well-made romantic scenes. ... But I have been forcing myself through this garbage despite somehow knowing it would never improve. Whilst watching, I was completely indifferent, yet also mildly frustrated. I say 'mildly' as this anime evoked essentially nothing from me apart from the occasional hand-raise in a 'but why?' gesture.

The characters, I feel, are the worst offenders - astoundingly bland and flat, and the protagonist is the only one to have the ILLUSION of a personality. Mei, in particular, is such a baffling idea of a 'character' - dull rapeygurl disguised as a dull cliche honor student. I'm sick of the more recent yuri anime doing this - one character sexually assaulting the other, questionably causing said other to 'fall in love' with them, whilst creating the most uncomfortable viewing experiences possible. We had this garbage with Netsuzou Trap, and I just absolutely despise it. I don't see how people can try and justify this sort of shit instead of demanding more established and healthy relationships.

The 'relationships' between any of the characters feel forced and monotonous, and I can't appreciate any of them. The 'plot' has no outstanding substance, and there are so many contrived instances of 'but WHY did this happen, exactly?' that is emphasises how unnaturally the anime flows. The actual 'provocative' segments instead become discomforting anti-fap material, despite the obvious intention. The dialogue is boring and cringey. The art/character design is uninspired and unappealing. I don't even recall what the sound design was like.

Overall, I was so bored that I felt strangely detached whilst viewing this shit.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
