First things first, this is one of the rare shows I personally had high expectations for, simply because the theme is different then most of school setting sol dramas. Or so I thought.
One note, if you are of the people who can't watch some disturbing pedophilia moments as well as sex jokes, then there is no point in reading this review, exit it right away and find yourself something else to watch. I am forever confused as to why this show is not labeled for older audience, considering I feel like it would not be good influence for someone , let's say 13-14 years old, to watch some parts of this show.
Story 5/10
The premise was good, the whole point of trying to show how teenagers cope with their sexuality when they first come in contact with it is really a great idea. The problem is that while this show started off very boldly it turned into yet another amazingly boring school story very fast. That by itself wouldn't be a problem for a viewer such as myself (considering I love them nicely done school slice of life stories) but this show's selling point was, as I said, teenagers trying to cope with their sexuality. And the selling point was done seriously bad. For that matter even the slice of life part was done badly. What I want to say by this is that a good slice of life show needs convincing plot to make a statement of any kind. This show was far from having that and instead it pushed the statements it wanted with some ridiculously convinient situation. It's such a shame, considering this show really had potential. The score it got is solely because I had a few laughs, which is sad.
Art 7/10
Art was decent. it had some really pretty animation at some scenes, but it was average most of the time. Character designs don't stand out, nor does background. Average.
Sound 10/10
The sole thing that was good in this is the music. I loved both the op and the ed, as well as the music throughout the show.
Character 5/10
And here we have the main problem. This show tried to be as realistic as possible but with characters it had I have no idea what they even tried to do. We have a 'good' girl , a 'nerdy' girl, a 'kinda talented' writer girl, a 'friendly, shy' girl and a 'I'm above you all' girl. Sounds familiar? Seems like you saw this kind of setting? Ye. They are all generic and above all boring characters. Not a single one of them has something which would make you remember them. I will not even go into the pedophilia (there are 2 pedophiles, TWO) that is talked about more times then it should have been.
Enjoyment 5/10
To be honest,I liked the beginning of the story, the first let's say 2-3 episodes. I liked some of the comedy. That's all. Sadly.
Overall 6/10
This is the highest score this show should get, in my opinion. Boring generic characters, story full of convinient situations, pedophilia... should I go on? The 6 it got is for the music and some of the jokes, rest it just so mediocre it's sad.
For a premise and theme it picked up, this anime is a huge disappointment.
