The problems start almost as soon as he travels back. This show is filled with cliche after cliche. The MC has three roommates; one guy and two girls. The guy is almost immediately built up as a somewhat difficult but passionate writer. The girls? One of them is just a "tsundere" that wants to be an actress and the other is... an artist that the MC was obsessed with before he travelled back in time with little to no personality other than "oh, she's sleepy."
Then, the MC sees yet another girl who he knew from his past life - his former boss, going to the same school as he is. Again, she's given little to no personality other than that she's a director.
The female characters are almost exclusively used for fanservice that feels incredibly cliche and out of place or for "comedy" (which usually amounts to one of the male characters getting hit.) None of this fits the dramatic setup the show seemed to start with.
I mentioned that the male characters are built up while the female characters are essentially just... there, but what's even more unbelievable is that they're somehow all dependent on the male MC. Even in the first 4 episodes, the other male character accidentally grabs a camera that can only take pictures instead of a video camera. The other three are about to give up while the MC has an idea that's portrayed as absolutely incredible and out of the box. I'm not going to spoil what it is because it's already too obvious and you can probably figure it out for yourself. This is only one example.
Nothing about this anime clicks to me, no matter how hard it tries to be "deep" or when it tries to be "funny." I think the show is trying to go for a comedy-drama, but it's obviously not doing a very good job.
If you like obvious cliches, derivative stories, and a world that seems to bend over backwards for the main character, this show's definitely for you. If not, you'll find yourself disappointed in another boring fanservice slice of life anime that tries to be "deep."
