Basically I very much enjoyed this anime, until I got near the end. From everything that I could see it was setup to be wonderful. I liked the different characters, it had a good sense of comedy, it was very upbeat and just gave an overall good impression. However, pretty early into it I started to fear that it would end up as so many other shows in the Romance/Comedy genre do.
Now, to be fair, the ending is pretty much what I expected from the beginning. What ended up really annoying me was that throughout the story it was written for there to be something unique and different about this anime. Something that I wouldn't have called right off the bat from the VERY FIRST EPISODE. I began to be excited about the prospects of seeing something that very few authors dare to do for some reason. But in the end it was all for naught. The author kind of seemed to say "screw that" and forcibly shoved the story back into what I originally thought it would be. It seemed like everything that had been done and built up was solely for the purpose of adding boat loads of drama. The interesting character interactions, the different possibilities, all severed. Akin to cutting off your right arm when it's perfectly healthy.
It hurt me...a lot...
TL;DR
The story was written such that it could have been different from every other anime in it's genre while still being good and rewarding, then at the last second decided to be predictable and annoying. It gave me a dramatic finish, when all I wanted was a happy one.
