First, let me state what I appreciated of this anime. As per usual, Wit Studio made a wonderfully animated series. The characters and scenes are all beautifully drawn and, to me, this was the primary (if not only) well done aspect of the show.
Despite the appeal of its aesthetics I had to force myself through this series. Superficially it is supposed to entice with its provocative scenario, but its really just another story of adolescent angst. Now, stories like these aren't inherently bad to me but I think this show could have done much MUCH more with its story. To be honest, if it wasn't
...
for its MC I probably would have enjoyed this much better. For such a beautifully drawn character (especially her eyes) Akira is the most frustratingly unpleasant MC I've ever had to watch. Selfish and self-centered, the only thing she cares about are staring and blushing at her manager. I understand that the point of this story was how two people can come together and help each other to grow and move forward from the stagnant point of each of their lives, but I think it could have been done much better. I can't understate how much I hated this MC. The other character's were actually much more interesting and if not for them I wouldn't have finished this story. I was hoping the entire time that Kondo would start acting more like an adult and start helping Akira to mature and come to terms with what is actually bothering her, which he did finally towards the end albeit lamely. To me, Haruka was actually my favorite character and made every scene with her in it much better. I think its obvious that this show is directed at a certain demographic that does not include me, but I thought I'd give it a try. I wish I hadn't wasted my time. I disliked this anime so much that I wrote my first review, lol.
