The first half of the show is much better than the second. It seems like they ignored doing much for the overarching plot during the first half and then tried to force and rush everything in the second half. I debated even giving this 3 stars because of how much the plot falls apart and because of the weak weak ending, ultimately my enjoyment of the characters earned this the extra half star.
Also, he show actually shows bare breasts, which is much better than the animes that seem to go to ridiculous lengths to block the "naughty parts" when a female character is caught in a compromising position. The show boldy embraces sexuality in the narrative, which is a bit refreshing.
