I felt the story was a bit lacking in backstory. It felt a bit rushed at parts and then slow at others.
Art wise it was consistent. It didn't have many awkward moments. However, there was CG involved in some scenes. One scene in particular was just awkward CG, the dancing after the Nine Schools Competition.
Characters, as I had said before felt rushed. The main was overpowered with little to no explanation to why. There was no explanation to why his family hated him. There was a lot of guessing on what caused certain characters issues. No real explanation or backstory for any of the characters.
I think the anime relied heavily on the assumption that you are familiar with the novels/light novels. I wanted to see more backstory and was hoping for a second season to at least expand on the first but no luck.
Basically if you want to watch the anime either read the story first or wiki it after the anime like I did.
