This anime is something you have already seen about hundred times and has little surprises to present. It actually started fresh, promising the viewer to show something slightly different from what already exists but alas, it turned into the typical harem/ slice of life. It included almost all stereotypes one can think of. The Cultural festival, the beach episode, the scary episode, of course all the romance and drama, fair share of misunderstandings and fights in the group of protagonists etc etc etc etc (does it sound familiar? Can bet few bells rang). In sense of story development, flow and setting it was disappointing, could not live up to my expectations especially with this high (MAL) score.
That said, however, I didn't give it a 7 for nothing of course. What was quite well done here was the humor (tsukkomi) of the characters. It really had me laughing out loud on few occasions and giggling quite a lot (though not all jokes can be properly translated into English so they wouldn't strike as funny). The references to and parodies of other animes were adequate as well. The art was very pleasing and so was the voice actor selection (except for Kobayasi Yuu - I admit she fits the fujoshi role quite well, but after the unexplained transformation of the heroine, that image gradually started to fade and it just became unpleasant hearing her high pitched voice, just a personal preference of VAs but I think Sawano should have voiced the heroine).
If I have to recommend anime to someone this will not be on my list of recs but if I'm asked if it's any good to watch, I would probably say if you want to waste time go for it, it's not bad, it's just I have already seen this pattern so many times and probably everyone else has too, so why bother watch something you already have watched....
