The good:
- The characters themselves, both Koizumi and Otani are pretty good and avoid the conventions found in other romcom animes. The chemistry is clearly present between them.
- The humour is pretty good.
- The story for the most part avoids classic cliches and annoying "what did he/she mean when he/she said this" found in other animes. That said this is still present to a small degree.
- The animation is kinda old school. Reminded me of some old 90 animes.
The bad:
- For an anime with complex in the title, it spends about 2 episodes dealing with said complex and then forgets about it altogether.
- The supporting cast are essentially one dimensional cut-outs with noone being particularly memorable. We have a silent guy 1, silent, gentle, caring guy 2, bossy girl and a silent girl. None of them get any character development. Some semblance of a story is cobbled together towards the last two episodes but for the most part they are nothing more than comic relief.
- Multiple triangle love situations are teased but nothing ever happens. New characters are introduced 20 episodes in as potential love interests and it feel shoehorned.
- One big issue I have is with its length. Nothing really happens between episodes 7-17 and we see the same thing get repeated over and over again. While funny at first, get very annoying after a couple of episodes and characters never move on.
Overall rate it 6/10. Would have given it more if the anime was of a shorter length or if some of the side characters were developed better.
