The show had a decent start, showing off to the audience the main premise of the anime and what it will revolve around. The point system was.....unique, I'll give it that but I can't bring myself to say that its a good one. The reason being, yes it was something that caught my attention, but not long enough for me to last the entire series.
Aside from the main cast, all the other characters were pretty generic, and on top of that the story didn't really have that good of an execution. The concept in itself was, as I said, unique and I did want to find out how they manage to pull off getting more points than class A. But despite all that there were some instances where the execution was basically putting too much seasoning on a plain strip of ham. By that I mean they tended to overdo and overcomplicate an otherwise generic plot.
The highpoint of this anime was the reasoning of the main character and finding out how he'd deal with the different situations, but since I've watched Oregairu (and loved it) it was like watching Hikigaya Hachiman and his group with different hairstyles (but even their hairstyles look similar).
There was also a lot of character exposition but not much development. The only well developed characters of the series were the main cast, the rest seem pretty two dimensional. There are some characters that stand out, but thats because its what the anime intended (intentionally giving them flashy or unique features) but sadly they weren't developed too much. I mean the by the end of the anime I felt as if i had been watching a prologue due to the lack of content in the show.
But despite all this I couldn't bring myself to hate the anime, in fact I even found it quite good. Once you get past the cheesy melodrama things they added, you'd see that there are a lot more layers to this anime than what was first given. As you get further into the anime you'll finally get to see the interesting mind games that would make your head really spin. Even the characters started to deviate from the Oregairu cast and became their own unique personas. On top of that, the entire thing was well animated and had good art and music.
Sadly this does happen in the latter part of the anime, so people tend to burn out by then. Or if they do watch, its out of obligation and they don't tend to enjoy it as much.
In my opinion, this show is an acquired taste. I mean if you'd look at the review section, they either scored really high or really low, but how you enjoy the anime is entirely up to you.
Overall if you like Oregairu, or any school life melo drama I have a feeling that you'd appreciate at least one thing in the show haha. If you are new to this genre feel free to give it a try.
