Preliminary (4/12 eps)
To be honest, when I heard about Senryuu girl, I didn't think much of it. it just didn't seem like my type of show, and Short-form anime don't always get to develop arcs at a good pace with the 12 minute runtime, so I was ready to pass it off. However, it's worth a shot if you have some extra time and you want a nice rom-com.

The first thing that hits you is how pleasantly simple the style of the show is. Both in art and characters, the show makes it easy to get used to the characters by providing simple backstories and letting the on-screen chemistry take over from there. All of the initial characters work off each other rather nicely The art, however, is a bit of a letdown. I'm not sure if it was an intentional stylistic decision or just a budget thing, but the show avoids excessive movement whenever possible. As a result, the show can feel a little stiff during a few of the scenes. The music, from what I could tell, was on par with other shows of it's genre and the "com" in this "rom-com" has it's share of good moments.

Overall, it's fine. But there is one thing about it that really makes this show one to watch and support. The main character talks to everyone through poems on paper. Anime-only people might not get what I mean here, but this could be huge that a show like this exists now. I freaking love Komi-san, and now a show with a similar main character, quirk included, exists. We now have a benchmark for which we can try to see the plausibility of a Komi-san anime adaptation, and for that reason I believe this to be an influential show to remember this season. With enough support, we can get more shows like it, including the adaptation that more and more people are starting to ask for.
