Added to that each of the characters goes through a central conflict in the show and has their own time devoted to them. While I couldn't relate to this as heavily as the former part this was still well done. Each character's issue felt believable and the different experiences that they were able to showcase believable issues that people can have in these humorous years. That said while each conflict was believable the show did have a bad habit of becoming too melodramatic with the events and sometimes going too far in how it displayed what it was showing.
Sanrio Danshi is fairly what you see is what you get. It has its strong moments, and it deals with those conflicts well but that is the center of the story. The characters are decently written but are more written with those conflicts in mind rather than as a whole. While they do have good chemistry together and do make a unit quite well I felt a lot of the non-plot based episodes were weaker in comparison. Furthermore, Pierrot has never been one to have good animation and that does still apply here. While it's not distractingly bad like with some of their other works, it still leaves a bit more to be desired. Same with the OST. Some of the same tracks are repeated too often for the same conflicts. While they may have worked at first hearing the same minimalistic track for the same expression over and over again does limit the power of it. And while Sanrio Danshi had good writing and while the conflicts were believable and relatable, the production of them was not the best and thusly they didn't have the rich power they could have.
Stilll despite production issues, it's a good show. The characters are likeable. The situations are relatable, and overall it tells a good story of friendship and bonding based off of a unique trait. So if you want to see some of that, this is a good show to give a try.
