Story: 10/10. It contains a decent amount of realism, but definitely not to the point where the anime gets dull. The story is also short, but yet it feels like it's well paced, never feels rushed or dragged on, and I would not have lengthened the series at all.
Art: 10/10 I don't know. I never failed my Art class, but I wasn't godly at it either. Don't expect any critique from me, as it is basically invalid. All I can say is that I enjoyed the animation and art style.
Sound: 10/10 The songs throughout the series made the dramatic scenes much more dramatic, made the comedic scenes and overall improved the entire show. The OP accurately conveys the emotions and romantic development that you should expect, and the ED is just as calming and relaxing as the OP.
Character: 9/10. The main problem with the characters are the doctors. The nurse, a typical tsundere that smokes in the hospital as well as Natsume, the lead physician for Rika. While they were dislikeable at first (mainly Natsume) their motives were made clear, and showed quite a large amount of character development. All the characters in the series were likeable and the end, and Natsume had been forgiven by me. Unfortunately, Natsume pissed me off so much it had led to me yelling at the monitor, "YOU SICK BASTARD, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE A DOCTOR!" Regardless, the characters were still enjoyable.
Overall: 10/10. While if you check my ratings, they all are really high, it is because I cannot rate them a ".5" or some anything in between, and even if there is a method, the scores are what the series deserves. This anime had been outstanding for such a short time, amazing pacing, and enough comedy as well as drama to the point when they both synergized with each other, and made for an outstanding series. The basic premise may not be original, but the story and development is, creating what I believe to be one of the best animes I have ever watched (definitely in top 3)
