At first, this anime might seem like a stupid show with a bunch of fanservice so that all the fans can continue to watch it, and in some ways it is. But I was surprised how much heart this anime has. It explored subjects that you wouldn't expect in this show. Like if it 's worth spending time with someone if you know that the person will die long before you do. The friendships feel much more realistic because of that. Fafnir and Takiya weren't too friendly to each other which made their relationship realistic. And even though Kobayashi and Tohru's relation was much more friendly, it made sense with their characters.
The shorter scenes also helped the story to feel more realistic. Cause not every action you do is going to affect the next.
But even though most of the characters felt very realistic, they all had character flaws, motivations, multisided and character development, there were two characters that I wasn't fond of. Those characters were Lucoa and Shouta. They both, at least in the middle, seemed to only have one purpose, being fanservice, which is something that I didn't like in this show. The reason for Shouta's existence is to be harassed by Lucoa, at least it felt like that to me. And it's a shame cause in the beginning and end, Lucoa was a pretty okay character. She wasn't just tits on two legs, but she actually had a personality, relative to Shouta who didn't.
Other than that, the rest was pretty great. The music (especially the OP and ED) was great, the artstyle was fantastic (except for some of the backgrounds) and in general, the show is one of the funniest out there (from what I have seen)
So to sum up this show, I would say that it is a funny show with great animation and a lot of heart.
It's a 9/10 from me
