Story is too simple, and too straight off, literally seeing Koguma riding in her cub anywhere around, same with Reiko and Shii, but Shii on her bike. Its almost like you’re going places point A to point B shortly and do these things simply less than a minute or so. Also the unsolved cases like how did her parents leave her, how did she end up a very short life when it comes to low budget and everything, can’t you just pull them out, at least in the manga?
Artstyle is pretty interesting, probably the first anime I watched with classic artstyle, realistic character with uniform and hair color, except Shii. The fact that this will be a bit lower is because people don’t find this interesting. It’s not in the same tier as other animes but is unique. Artstyle does feel realistic as well with a different tone of color. I would give this a 9 because its interesting, but because of the lack of interest by most people, this will be a 7.
Character. Ok WTF. In the anime, fine its just small dialogue and smiles on thier faces. ok, Im satisfied. Whatever. Koguma is very limited, same with Shii. Reiko however has more personality than the main character, ok what the? Compared to the anime’s manga, Koguma has personality same with Shii. Reiko is even more than them. Shouldn’t Koguma get more recognition because she’s the main? Why don’t you add more on her besides being shy and moody. Just improve on that the next season soon. And that is why this is a 5
Sound literally is ok, the music is classical and relaxing, but its getting boring when it plays again on another scene or a different episode. The only time it gets satisfying for me is hearing the gymnopedie BGM on ep 7 which is the first time hearing a music outside of japan being used for an anime. Sound for the background is ok, but it feels less than I can imagine other than the Cub noise or the class in school. As for Opening and ending, they’re also good, but they’re just as nearly as identical as other animes that has an opening and ending with relaxing music like this. 7 for that.
Enjoyment is not really that exciting nor fun when you watch this. Very slow and very simple, makes me want to sleep and almost slept through the whole anime in just one day because this makes me feel sleepy. 5 for that.
Overall would be a 6. This is an interesting but very underappreciated and had some flaws that just really makes an anime a fine, but not so-fine watching. My opinion, not yours, so don’t fuck with me.
