Mixed Feelings
I'm not one to watch seasonal or recent anime (call me a hipster), but boredom and free time led me to check this anime out after seeing a couple of scenes online.
I expected a mediocre comedy anime...
And I kinda got it? I don't watch many from this genre, but to be honest it was nothing unexpected.
Went into this trying to find something to fry my brain for a bit, forget about my troubles, you know? What I got was more worry for my future, of aging, and being able to do nothing to change stuff. Uramichi's ramblings when he's dejected are probably not meant to be taken seriously, but in a way, they are very #relatable in the sense that it's something we all go through, just never really talk about or realize. Besides nihilism, it also showed me that if this athletic, top-of-his-class thirty year old man managed to get a life like this (I won't say "failed" at doing so, but it certainly isn't a perfect or good-enough kind of life that one would normally expect), then what awaits me in a couple of years?

It made me feel like I should go out and enjoy stuff, even if I'm an adult. Which in turn, made me feel like I was wasting my time watching anime alone at home. What the hell did this anime made me feel? I did smile a couple of times, but I'm not sure if it's because I genuinely found it funny or if I tried to convice myself of feeling anything.

The comedy aspects is pretty plain and generic at times, so no wonder I ended up focusing on Uramichi's expression of his (and probably every young adult from this time's) mental distress.

Anyway, on to other factors of this anime:
Characters were pretty... one dimensional? They didn't fall into the MOST common tropes at least, and some had a bit of... interesting design. Their backgrounds were not developed at all, but what can I expect from 12 episodes long anime anyway?What stood out the most out of them (and the anime in total) was the voice acting.

The seiyuus, as you can probably tell, are all pretty well known and have worked in lots of other anime. As soon as you heard some of them, you could immediately recognize them. I think they fit the characters well.

The music was... eh? A bit forgettable. I tend to watch the opening completely in every single episode, but I ended up skipping this one more than half the time. The ending was a bit better, I guess.

Art was okay, nothing otherworldly, but not bad at all either.

And wow, I didn't think I had enough to say about this but it did end up being kinda long.

Overall, it was an "eh? I guess it's enjoyable. A better word would be... okay to pass the time when you're bored and have nothing else to do." So it's better than nothing, but I wouldn't say it's bad at all.
