Kaguya sama is one of the newest and most popular comedy animes in the current times, be it due to simple jokes being shared or the dance in the ending that literally everyone decided to talk about, however, the overall quality of the anime itself should'nt be ignored because like everything else, it has it's flaws.
First of all, the anime is extremely episodic almost to the point of being predictable, it sticks to it's formula and never decides to change or take absolute advantage of being formulaic which ends up in it being repetitive, still fun due to the visuals and somewhat great jokes every now and then but, critically speaking it's far from being as perfect as many reviews i've seen here make it out to be.
Also, the direction is overall pretty weak, it's an extremely visual style that reminds a bit of what studio shaft's directors tend to do but the way the director applied those tecniques makes it more something visually interesting that good unlike the huge majoritiy of the works by shaft.
And Lastly, the characters themselves are pretty "ok-ish", they sure are fun to watch but they lack some depth to them, even if you argumente that it's unnecessary for a comedy series to have a bit of complexity, Kaguya sama tries to actually be a romance at times to try going further into developing the relationship between the main cast so, if it's attempted by the author, even if weakly, automatically makes the argument invalid and compromises a bit more the anime.
Well, concluding it all, Kaguya sama is a weak anime and far from being the best of the current season, however, it's a fun ride, not a perfect one and even less one that deserves a nines and tens but one that should be taken a look if you want just a pretty nice comedy.
