Story has a very interesting concept where you have pills that makes you young again (I'm actually very glad they didn't try to explain how that works.) Rating: GOOD
Art is pretty enough, there are some quality drops here and there and there were 2 characters I sometimes took an extra second to differentiate. Hishiro's mole changed locations and even sizes within 5 minutes. There was even "too lazy to draw the other eye" syndrome just before that character threw the ball. But they really do try to keep the quality together at important scenes, I appreciate that. Rating: OK
Sound is very good. No one else might have noticed but there was an echo effect in one scene and I almost shed a tear that they bothered. Ending songs always came in nicely at the end and there was even a song change that spiced up my life at some point. Voicework was also good. Rating: GREAT
(Edit: While reading another review that hated the BGM, it reminded me that there actually was one scene where the soundtrack made no sense at all but it didn't really bother me because I was sleepy, Ibut I remember I was very confused about where that weird sound was coming from because it didn't match the situation at all and timing was really bizarre and looking back that actually was strangely funny now that I'm awake)
Characters I'm on the fence, I really don't expect much development and I think almost all of them managed to show some level of it but for some reason I feel unsatisified with the main protagonist's development or atleast how it was delivered to me as an audience. He showed a lot of maturity and guided the others but he felt like a side character. Might as well change the synopsis to "Main character witnesses Kariu's emotional roller coaster." I feel I've seen way too much of Kariu. At some point I wanted to close everything, I was getting tired of her drama every damn episode. Rating: OK
Despite my growing disdain for Kariu, enjoyment was really good in the beginning, I really couln't stop watching, turns out the main character is great and he's very perceptive with strong morals. I kept watching because of him. I wanted to know if this "failure in life" succeeds. But we don't actually see that, we just have to assume he does unless there's a second season. There were quite a few twists when it came to the agency and also his past. I was very satisfied with those. And Hishiro is a very interesting comic relief and showed great development. Rating: GOOD
Overall I enjoyed it despite it not going the way I wanted. I wish it was nicely wrapped up in the end because I don't feel like investing another season if it's basically Kariu over-reacting and the other characters develops as they deal with her crap everyday. But they dropped a bombshell in the end that I didn't see coming so it kind of made it worth sticking around until the end. A generous 7/10 because I like both Hishiro and Arata.
