Preliminary (4/12 eps)
Well, we have only 4 episodes so far, but this series made a good job setting it's purpose and it's unique set of characters, so I think it might be worth watching it if you are already engaged with the story. I will make a brief analysis on the main aspects that have been shown in the three first chapters.

Story - 7
Story of this anime is nothing special until chapter 3, but it gives some hints of getting more serious from now on. Despite being originally written by the author of Blade of the Immortal, it has a totally different setting about our MC, Minare Koda, who suddenly is fired from her job but manages to find another work on the radio. The progression is pretty simple at the beggining, but as I said it might be getting more complex gradually while the side characters gain more depth, and it has potential to become something surprising.

Art - 9
Due to it's SoL/Comedy genre, it's not like Nami yo Kiitekure needs some outstanding sakuga; it has, tough. The staff in charge of this anime is pretty competent, and there are some action/comedy scenes that are pretty well animated and coreographed. It's even making a better job on being fluid than action shounens of this season such as ToG.

Sound - 9
The opening and ending are pretty good, and the soundtrack is at least fitting with every scene; even though, what needs to be highlighted when talking about this series is the completely outstanding work that Riho Sugiyama is doing by giving voice to our protagonist. Her voice is incredibly energetic and vibrant, it actually makes the deal on portraiting the personality of Minare Koda. Even though, prepare your sharingan to try to read the subtitles without going back sometimes, because this woman speaks absurdly fast.

Character - 8
The MC is pretty unique. Her personality is very strong while still manages to feel relatable, and really goes with the mechanic of the story. Also, the side characters stand out of being generic, even if none of them has been explored into depth until now, they have a lot of potential. We'll see how they're developed as the story keeps going.

Enjoyment - 7
The anime in general is very enjoyable, and it will be a good ride to watch it's twelve episodes. Even though, there are some jokes that are difficult to understand for foreigners, since they talk about specific personalities of Japan's radio, or sometimes about regional sterotypes. Also, the story is dynamic but not at the point of causing any hype, just maybe at the end of chapter 4, so you really need to be engaged to watch it

Overall - 8
A good show if you are in quarentine complaining about your life being a disaster and needing some urgent entertainment. It's not a must watch but I think it's a bit underrated too, since is very fun in general.
