These are my thoughts immediately after finishing the anime and the first movie.

Kimagure is an anime I'd refer to as a "fluff" anime. The core plot involving the lopsided love triangle between the three main characters is intriguing, but it does not have meaningful progress after the first fifteen-or-so episodes. After this, it's mostly movie references and silly antics. There is little continuity between episodes. The Kasuga family's psychic powers are equally useful for getting Kyousuke into and out of dire situations, but they're never anything more than a plot device.

The series' aesthetic is strong, and the music is great. If you're interested, watch the first two openings for the anime.

The characters are a blast and have solid foundations, but they aren't developed well past a few episodes. If you're coming off of KareKano and want more of that juicy character development, then you may find yourself frustrated while watching this series.

That being said, if you just want a chill anime with romantic intrigue, then you can't go wrong with Kimagure Orange Road. It's up on Crunchyroll now and has a great summery feel to it, so now's probably the best time to watch!
