Generic romance anime with generic characters all of whom fill a stereotype. We have a nice guy man-pussy, a popular kawaii-wannabe idol and you run of the mill tsundere. For an anime focused on music the music is surprisingly generic. The ending song is alright I guess, but the rest of the sounds are rather forgettable. The anime picks up after about 10 episodes and the last two episodes are decent. But the journey to get there is slow, ardous and painful and the ending is just too little too late. I almost dropped the show post the 7th episode. Each of three main characters can be distilled down to a single action they repeat over and over again. Haruki - ever dependable, always present to help others. The definition of a mangina essentially. Setsuna - "I hope we can be like this forever". Repeat that line 10 times each episode and Kazusa - I will be rude to hide that I like Haruki. Whatever "growth" the characters have occurs in the last two episodes and that growth is only for Setsuna and Kazusa. Haruki remains a mangina to the end.
Having seen a bunch of anime now, I have to ask, does Japan have an aversion to normal male characters? Every character I see lately is an effeminate man-pussy who cannot take control of any situation. And ofc said mangina gets all the chicks in the end. Top lel.
Overall an exceedingly bland and generic anime saved from being truly dismal by the above average ending. At the end of the show, I was hard pressed to really be bothered about the characters, story or the music. Not really recommended. 5/10
