Mixed Feelings
This anime is like eating a sandwich packed and full to the highest level. It looks good but somehow parts of it fall off and it's a waste.

Story:
The start was really good, even the synopsis which is why I expected a lot from this anime, expecting it to be one of the best this season even but somehow even with the cute romance part between Izumiko and Miyuki, the end really failed to leave a satisfying ending.

There's a lot of confusion in my part maybe because I haven't read the LN but that just makes it more reason that the story should be properly explained especially to non-readers. Some parts left me confused: Why did this happen? What is the reason for this? Who is this person? The end was disappointing. It did not leave the feeling of completeness to the series and failed to shed some light on some things. It's like it left a lot of holes and nothing to fill it with.

I like the concept of it but it failed to deliver. 6/10

Art:
The art was the one thing that's holding me to this series. That and the fact that I don't drop series even if they are on hold for so long already. Art is one of the strongest points, not a surprise since this is from P.A. works. Sceneries are good, character art is also good. *cough*Miyuki*Cough*

9/10

Sound: OP is catchy, I don't watch the ED much and the sounds when Izumiko is dancing is also good. 8/10

Character:

7/10
Izumiko and Miyuki develops at the end. The triplets somehow make a development but at the same time I feel like there's something lacking. I just don't like the part where the characters aren't properly explained. For example, what is seriously the deal with her mother. I don't know why technology doesn't work. (or maybe I failed to catch on). Why does Wamiya and Takayanagi look the same? (Or maybe I failed to catch on that too) I don't even get the gist of the judges thing. Nevertheless, the story fails to expound more on characters, their decisions and even on the triplets.

Enjoyment:
Not gonna lie, even if the story did fail to deliver, I was still somehow kind of hooked on the plot with all the goddess thing and during the times Izumiko does great things inspite of her insecurities. One thing that I really enjoyed was Miyuki and Izumiko. I love their end, but not THE END itself. Although I would have really loved it to see them kiss at the end. :C But like I said, too much confusion so 7/10.

Overall:
6/10

Even though I love those fleeting moments with Miyuki and Izumiko and the art, the story is still an important point and I feel like it's meant a 6 (Fine) rather than a 7 (good).
I wish they had more episodes so that it wouldn't feel so fast paced and won't leave that much confusion to the watchers part.

So much potential for this to become a good anime but 12 episodes butchered it or maybe it was the story board, who knows.

A sandwich is still a sandwich and it's still fine.
