I picked this up on a whim when I was just in the mood for something light-hearted, but I got so much more out of it than expected.

Story 9/10: An anime about a guy trying to live life as lazily as possible probably shouldn't be very interesting, but somehow this one is. Even though it's definitely one of the calmest and most laid-back anime series I've seen, somehow it never feels dull.

Art 10/10: Honestly I can't believe how good it looks. The character designs are easy on the eyes and very fitting for each character's personality, the movement is fluid, and the backgrounds are surprisingly detailed, especially all the shots of the sky during sunset.

Sound 9/10: The opening and ending songs are very appropriate for this show, except that they nearly put me to sleep every time I tried to listen to them, so I had to skip them every episode, which is a shame. I think I only noticed some background music once through the entire show, but that's okay, as the sound effects and the voice acting are amazing enough to make up for it. Seriously, Tanaka's voice actor is incredible.

Character 9/10: There's Tanaka who's fascinating on his own, but his dynamic with Oota is basically the best thing in the entire show. The various side characters do a great job of balancing out Tanaka's listlessness with their own different energies, and some of them get their own mini-arcs as well, which I loved, though I probably could've done without the romance element.

Enjoyment 10/10: This probably isn't the sort of show you should binge, but I did anyway, and I don't regret it. It's mostly just something wholesome to watch after a hard day, but it does have its own fair share of funny moments.

Overall 9/10: It's probably one of my favourite slice of life shows to date, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes such shows.
