Overall: 7
Good romance anime for the season, not the best but actually fairly surprising.
Story: 6
So as it is a Romance, the story isn't really hard and complex and so can be a little bit flat for a lot people. I think it is correct because it isn't hard to understand and it goes mainly straight to the goal. Also there was a part in the anime, I think between the episode 5 and 8 in where the anime was quite flat and didn't went anywhere for me. Whereas, we can say that a Romance between an adult worker and a student is a bit uncomfortable for those watching it but it didn't bother me as I thought it would.
Art: 6
The animation is quite good, there isn't a moment when it was really badly done, and also it is a slice of life anime so there isn't a lot to do. I think the emotions are well transmited on character's faces so it makes the art better. My main problem is that the character design doesn't appeal to me and isn't making me attached emotionaly to the characters. Lastly, the opening and ending are well animated and wery well timed with the music.
Sound : 8
The opening and ending are very good and I think very underated anime songs this season. The opening does its job and is very groovy and makes me want to dance. The ending is very beautiful and does also its job pretty well. I don't remember well the OSTs but I think they were fair.
Character: 6
And here goes one of the main problem to this show for me, the characters are very bland and without flavor. Ichika the main character is pretty annoying as the show is going on. Also Ryo is very annoying when he tries to seduce Ichika from start to the end and is also when he starts his "bad mood" period. Rio was useless from start to finish, however at the end when she has her moment when her feelings were kind of revealed she became a better character. On the other hand, I very liked the characters of Masuda and Tamaru, I think they deserved more attention. The other characters are kind of useless.
Enjoyment: 7
I kinda enjoyed that to be honest, I was simping the Tamaru X Ichika but that was too bad it didn't happen but I'm also happy that the end was delivered pretty well. I like romance, it didn't was a anime that changed the genre but still a pleasant anime to watch.
