And I realized that when I stopped thinking about the logic behind the premise of the show and simply hop along the ride, I actually had a good time watching.
I personally haven't played the visual novel so I had no idea what to expect but surprisingly, I was charmed by the characters of the series. Their personality quirks and constant "frienemies" arguments are cliche but unexpectedly refreshing. I found myself giggling here and there.
Perhaps I just found myself welcoming the way Cardia is being treated by the guys in the show. It is very nice to see the guys being gentle around her. I've seen way too many otome theme anime that have the guys treated the main girl harshly so it was a nice change of pace to see the main guy isn't a Tsundere jerk for once.
The art and the animation of the show isn't exactly top-notched but it's no way un-watchable. The drawings of the characters are consistent for the most part but you would notice the obvious lazy drawing during the wide shots. The animation is just "okay" to carry the story.
The OP and the ED definitely fits the vibe of the show but I don't personally find them memorable. Just okay.
Overall, if you find yourself needing a bit of cheesy and gentle romance, help yourself to this show! Just don't expect to find anything profound about it :)
