It is above average but not without flaws.

As far as I can tell, this anime is shoujo/josei type, meaning it is targeting female audience, and that affects the story/plot, and might not be everybody's cup of tea.

In general, it is slower paced, calmer, character are typically more life like without exaggerated actions you'd encounter in, say, shounen, and there's focus on relationships, some of which are implied. On other hand it also means that heroine is likely to be shy, act reserved, be somewhat awkward in social situations, get embarassed often and might be wearing glasses. Oh, and there will be a lot of beautiful men around the heroine for some reason (It is not bad, mind you. This isn't Saiunkoku Monogatari) .

Basically, what I'm trying to say that this is not a power trip with omnipotent destroyer of worlds as MC, but a more or less lifelike character in not very threatening situation.

Now, this setup can be done poorly (Sainkoku Monogatari comes to mind), or it can be done decently. This is the case of it being decently done.

Now, about those flaws. The animation quality fluctuates. The first episode was visually amazing, with every single thing animated with great care and attention to detail. The opening is the same. However, as the show progresses, the quality gets slightly worse, and only occasionally bounces back to the quality of the intro and first episode. In the worst cases they switch from animated frames to nearly storyboard format (meaning unmoving stills), and in the last episode I've noticed footage review. However, I've seen worse animation than this.

One other thing - I almost got bored with it and almost dropped it at 5th episode, but was amazed by 6th episode, and continued watching because of it. That's something worth bringing up.

Overall, the characters are believable, interactions are sufficiently entertaining, and slower pace is tolerable. It is worth checking out if you want something calmer and are not looking for action packed title.

6/10 story, 5/10 art, 6/10 sound, 6/10 character, 6/10 enjoyment, 6/10 overall.
