I noticed quite some people were praising this anime as refreshing and that it is. It is nice to have it. Even before I finished it, I finished manga. So I knew in advance, this anime has no content. I dont mean to say it is a bad anime, just that praising it for anything else than being fresh might need some strong argumentation.
The reason is, that story ended first episode after school started. You might notice MP doesnt develop. At all. In manga, it is even worse, because there are some 2. season chapters, that let you know, she wont ever grow. Entire growth comes from her group of romantic harem friends. And yes, if you are one of those that are loosing your hair how male MP cant choose one girl ... this one is better. Because those girls AND boys do grow instead of MP. It is nice. But also, their growth ends when they come to school along with their powerlessness to explain to MP they do love her, like for real. The last one to join is Maria.
There is also final one who is also final boss ... but his conflict could be solved on his own. It is like he was in a game, waiting for MP to come along and save him, but ... if you remember, that is usually a PROBLEM that games have and why movies try to avoid it. This is anime made as a game, repeating same in-game solutions to game structure that doesnt occur in real life. And love will save the day ... let me repair your life in 1 minute of talking nicely with you. It is weak and for most part pointless, even if true to source material. Animators knew that, which is why they started pulling endings out of MP's ass which she didnt know about just an episode ago. Friendship ending, reverse harem ending, hidden character ending ... it is almost as if author was desperately searching for a reason to continue this story, give it meaning, but forgot his main problem. MP and her group stopped growing long ago. Because she is dumb? Unbelievably dumb? Or just because you wrote her as such.
So, nice anime, I liked it when I wasnt too angry how much wasted potential it has. How pointless second half of the anime is.
Also, let me praise adaptation for a bit. I quite like it, it has a soul, they just have to work with material they had.
