Story 3/10
While at times the story can be extremely engaging (episodes 7 and 8 for example) at other’s it can be so random that it’s almost down right jarring (episode 10 is a perfect example of this). The plot felt extremely unfocused between its love triangle,the mysteries and the band while doing none of them particularly well. While I could enjoy an episode at face value for a while afterwards I could only think about the unsatisfactory way in which the plots mysteries were unveiled, and the rushed side plots of the band members.
Art 7/10
Despite the high rating I gave the art I’d actually say that it’s horribly inconsistent it’s just that the highs of the art are extremely high. This was one of the main aspects of the show that I was talking about when I said Haruchika felt like a show that had half people that were really good at what they do and the other being really bad. The character designs are overall pretty decent and I could tell character’s apart from each other which is extremely important.
Sound 10/10
Despite some complaints about a few of the background themes feeling a bit generic the soundtrack for this show is overall refreshing and I’ll definitely be listening to it in my free time. While I enjoyed the Ed this shows best selling point is it’s stellar opening credits preformed by the one and only Fanha.
Character 3/10
Outside of our main two leads I struggled to remember the names of most of the band members something that I’m normally extremely good at in anime. They really weren’t that memorable and served very little to the plot. I will say that I did enjoy Haruta and Chika’s dynamic quite a bit and wished the show had stayed a romcom about their crushes on the one band teacher dude as weirdly enough that was some of the best comedy the series had.
Enjoyment 6/10
I don’t have much to say here as long as you try not to think about the plot to much after the episode. Then you should be fine though Haruta and a few other characters (like this one girl who kept hitting her dying grandpa with a pillow) were somewhat annoying though it’s bearable.
Overall 5.43291/10
I don’t have much else to say but this is the most meh anime that I’ve ever watched. Obviously I feel that you should watch it for yourself and see how you feel about because maybe there will be an episode that really speaks to you that I just couldn’t quite enjoy.
