Mixed Feelings
Coming into this series I only ever heard about the opening and I would look up Kaneshi on youtube and there it would be, but I always heard the actual show was disappointing which actually peeked my interest and made me want to know what made some people dislike this show or feel it was average.

When it comes to the characters themselves they weren't bad, but they weren't very memorable in my opinion either. The main character Yukari is a very shy boy who just wants to be in love with a girl he's liked since fifth grade however because of the government laws to increase birthrates he ends up being assigned to get married to a different girl. The overall premise was interesting and I was curious to see who he would up with in the end. Sadly the series doesn't outright show or tell you exactly who he ends up with and I probably shouldn't say more so I won't spoil anything.

Even though this series is classified as a drama, romance, school anime its also a harem, but not a generic one. One of the third characters that likes him doesn't get as much screen time as I wanted them too. I won't spoil who the third person is, but I honestly shipped them more than the two main girls in this series.

Misaki's character was endearing, but I wish there was more to her character than just her liking Yukari and wanted him to happy. I felt the series focused too much on forcing relationships and kissing than it did on developing the characters one on one and giving them more reasons to like each other. Then there's Ririna who comes across as a bit of a tsundere at first until her feelings and emotions start to open up more. They also threw in random awkward fanservice between her and Yukari for some reason towards the beginning of the series. Then they make Misaki and Ririna like each other a lot right off the bat as friends. A part of me was like "JUST HAVE A THREESOME OR SOMETHING." (It did hint to that towards the end) ;)

The big eye character designs might be off putting to some people which is understandable. Stuff like doesn't really bother me though. I actually like the art, but I've definitely seen much better and all I really remember from the soundtrack is the opening and ending songs and to be honest they were both good.

The drama aspect might feel forced although I found enjoyment out of it at times. Despite some of the shows draw backs this series was actually a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

Story: 7/10
Art: 6/10
Sound: 6/10
Characters: 6/10
Enjoyment: 7/10
Overall: 6/10

I watch this series on Amazon Prime. At the time of this review I don't know of any dubs except the original Japanese with subtitles. I don't feel this show is a must watch, but I feel some people would find enjoyment from seeing what the characters decide to do in their given situation.

Also Nisaka is best boi

Bye bye :)
