This one is more a down to earth slice of life following the life of 5 high school friends dealing with everyday situations. It is a very calm show but not slow paced, is just what you would see in your days at high school, calm normal lives with a bit of drama, a few funny moments and a couple of unrequited and requited loves. Just perfect if you ask me. A simple anime chill ride, like the doctor ordered it.
Story: it is there, it is a slice of life and a pretty good normal one. Though it requires a certain mood and taste. Then again just one episode and i got soaked in by its relaxing atmosphere and nicely pace events, that while amazing, they were genuine.
Anyways no plot twist no giant developments just normal actual lives, so for those looking for your usual fill of exciting anime, your are in the wrong place. Now if you just feeling like chilling and looking back into the old high school days where nothing ever happened but you you still had fun, than this is your feel. Unless you had some kind of horrible experience in high school, which well oh well moving on....... Still its a chill nice story worth your time.
Art: Nice, a bit outdated, but nice. From the same studio that brought you ANOHANA, with the same relaxing soothing colors and art. The animation was well done, not amazing, but yeah just about right and precise in how it needs to be, not fancy, yet soothing.
Sound:
Well the songs well both the opening and ending songs were about friendship and sharing and when in tune and went in accordance with the scenes that the opening presented. And in a way the songs got stocked in my head. Truly nice tracks.
Characters: Perfect voicing for each character. The 5 of them and Mary were so fun to watch as they hanged out, That in real life they would be nice to me and befriend. Additionally they are all well defined as we get to see enough background, and you know what again they seem like they would be really nice people.
But anyways the producers did a good job with the characters, which is always crucial for a slice of life to work. Why? in slice of life anime, its all about the characters and their daily life.
Enjoyment:
Well if you haven't noticed, i enjoyed this series. It wasn't exciting nor amazing but calm and fun. Truly one of the better anime. Of course there are other anime like this one just search for them and you will be surprised.
