Story: 8
The story is outright predictable, almost from the get go. From episode 2 and onwards you will not be surprised. However, that is in fact, not a bad thing. This is the very first time i have ever experienced a story, which only becomes better, because of its predictability. Although this does sacrifice the element of surprise, it is still a new thing which i cannot with good conscience condemn. The story is simple in nature, there is not alot of mechanics going on, or things to keep tap on which is also a good thing, when dealing with romance. The thing about romantic stories, is that the more complex they become, the harder it becomes to relate yourself with it. It is only when you are able to relate to a romantic story, that you can actually become touched by it.
Art: 7
The art serves its purpose. It is not top of the line, neither is it bad. Keep in mind, this is animation meant for a romantic story, not Attack on Titan.
Sound: 6
Nothing in particular to notify about here. The sound is fair in nature, not eargasmic and not intrusive.
Character: 8
The main characters really shine in this anime, they are believable and actually competent (fairly rare for main characters to be). The supportive characters on the other hand, are fairly lacking. I however blame the amount of screen time they are given, and will not punish this too much, since it really is the main characters that are supposed to be in the spotlight. On top of it, the backstory of some the side characters is less believable in my opinion.
Enjoyment: 10
i enjoyed myself thoroughly, this was a new take on how to do love stories. I did however not cry, but that did not make things any less sad nor any less joyful. If you are in the mood of a good love story, that is competent and believable in the grand scale of things, then this is for you.
Overall: 7,8 ==> 8 (Very Good)
