The story sets around a boy called Sakuta, and in the first few episodes, the first build-up of the series start to enfold. the weird phenomenon is called "the adolescence syndrome",(although inexplicable in reality, but that's what makes anime great at given times) and who would have thought, it seems to occur around the main female protagonist called Sakurajima Mai and the only one who would be able to help her would be the MC. it might not appeal at first, but it's a really interesting implication to what could happen to one due to psychological distortions and . As the anime gets further into the story, the main narrative sort of remains with focusing around developing the adolescence syndrome rather than appealing to something new, although new concepts are applied with the syndrome e.g, Laplace's demon, Schrodinger's cat and so on.
As for the art/Animation, I'd say that the animation is done quite well, although the eyes of Mai don't really seem to appeal to me, but that's subjective to one's own. Other than that, I can say confidently that there are no ostentatious flaws for the majority, if you're not really focusing TOO much on the details.
As for the Music and VA, I think that the songs are relatively "alright", although not necessarily appealing to me, but maybe to you. One other thing that people often leave out of their reviews is the voice acting, and in this anime it's quite spot on. The implications of emotions, the mood and tone perceived from the characters alone make this show way more intriguing.
Characters, where do I start. Overall, I do think that the characters have attained development to a high extend where every character, not just the main characters, but ALSO the "side" characters other than the childhood crush but there will be an anime movie of the series which will literally make the picture perfect and that'll probably the cherry on top of this series. I really do like their personalities to be quite bold. Sakuta's somewhat perverse responses to Mai's rather questionable questions, and the fact that she goes along with it makes Mai a less generic female character, and Sakuta a less bland male protagonist in a somewhat rom-com environment, and that's the things people would LIKE to see.
In terms of Enjoyment, I regarded this as the best anime of the season by a mile, and this will probably rank pretty high in my list as well. I thank you for reading my review and am hoping you might have a different/better outlook on the anime as you've looked through it.
