I think the most important thing to explain about this anime is the format it takes. The show is split into three arcs at four episodes a piece with each arc representing a different continuity where the main character ends up with different girls.

What I liked about the show:

The format of the show was a breath of fresh air for me. After watching other romance animes it's nice seeing a show that explores all the options the main character has. Speaking personally, I've seen other romance shows where you know who the main character is going to pair up with and while you may wish for him to be with another character to see that relationship develop it ends up being all for naught. This show is good for those that feel similar in that regard of wanting to see the main character with some of the other heroine options he has and seeing how those relationships develop.

I also liked the drawing for the characters. Each heroine has her own look and feel to help distinguish them and I like the individuality.

The music was good. The opening and ending tracks were nice to listen to but nothing to write home about either. The individuality of each ending track corresponding to the girl the arc was focused on was a nice touch.

What I didn't like about the show:

While the format of the show was a breath of fresh air it also worked against it considering you only had 12 episodes to work with. Since each arc is only 4 episodes long you have to build the relationships up very quickly. Most of what you end up see is pre-relationship feelings that climax with the two either coming together or not and then a time-skip showing how they progressed. This personally left me with a feeling of wanting more from some arcs and not being fully invested in the relationships as they developed. I would've loved to see the show have more episodes so that each relationship had a bit more time to develop and you more reason to be invested.
