This show essentially looks to answer the age old question: What would happen if normal people were given superpowers? Well, they'd probably just keep being normal people. In fact, the "supernatural" aspect of this show play little to no actual role. Remove the powers and it's still a highschool romcom. But it's a really good highschool romcom with a likeable main character, even if he is romantically oblivious like every other harem lead.

I'm not going to bother giving a summary of the plot, because there barely is one, but I can say that I did not expect to enjoy the show as much as a I did. I'm a firm believer that when the credits roll and the show finishes and I still want more, the show deserves a good score in my book. This show ended with me begging for more because it does exactly what every good SOL romcom should do: focus on the characters.

The characters do, ultimately fall into tired cliches, eg. Loli, tsundere, childhood friend, maturity-chan. But they're all great, multi-dimensional characters and I enjoyed every one of them. In the end, they're all best girl, and in a show like this that's the best possible outcome. The MC isn't an idiot, he's actually got some redeeming qualities that would realistically make women fall for him unlike so many harem leads. And if you're not careful you'll be going gay for him so watch out.

Overall, the show gets a 9. Sure, the plot was weak, but it's a subversive show. It's meant to showcase a different side of the classic superpowered action show, and it's supposed to subvert your expectations of what your normal high school students would do if suddenly granted powers. The art was good, I love Trigger's animation style, and the sound was phenomenal. In the end, the characters are lovable and left me with an empty feeling when the show finished. That's a 9/10 in my book. If you're looking for something to watch, I'd 100% suggest this show, even if you normally don't like slice of life romcoms set in a high school. It's a mixed bag with a little something for everyone!
