Story 4/10
For a RomCom, the story is there but is quite lackluster in my opinion. And while the story doesn't always have to be the main focus as this is also a slice of life, there are small story arcs scattered throughout the anime which I believe are sometimes poorly done. Nevertheless, the score for story shouldn't really affect much about this anime.
Art 7/10
The art was above average compared to some of the other monstrosities that aired this season **COUGH** Kenja no Mago. It was bright and colourful at the very least and I didn't find the animation to be jarring in many areas for it to be considered an issue.
Sound 5/10
While the voice acting was done very well, the anime is let down by its unmemorable OSTs. While the music will generally suit the tone of the scene, none of them were powerful in any way and did not "enhance" my experience (if you will). Ain't no Hiroyuki Sawano going on here.
Character 7/10
Look, the characters whilst sticking to the RomCom archetypes, were actually done decently. They all generally had depth and I found that all of the characters were generally likeable. No real problems here. Maybe some uninspired personalities but nothing too bad.
Enjoyment 8/10
Despite what I wrote above, I still found this anime to be quite enjoyable. Its good and helps take your mind off things in life, as any anime of this genre should do. Maybe since I'd read the source material, it might have made me enjoy it a bit more.
Overall 7/10
The anime overall was actually done quite well, while I would not have given it an 8 (Good anime) it was very close to reaching this standard and just suffered from a few issues above. The lack of story and weak OSTs really hit the rating hard for me. Would still recommend it to people who are interested in RomComs though, you won't be disappointed as long as you don't go in expecting God's work.
