As always I will start with the story, and one thing I can say for sure, is that this story feels pretty unique. It truly shows that even with a small amount of characters, you can create some pretty interesting plot. It flows well and it is a pretty wholesome experience. And if you think about it, the story feels almost on the border of being a slice of life, which is weird, but cool. As for the story progression, I think it's ok, like I mentioned before about the slice of life aspect, because of it, the progression felt slower, while actually it wasn't. It's kinda weird, but it didn't bother me at all, it almost made sense in a way, since then you get the chance to get closer to the characters and they themselves can get to know each other a little bit more. So it felt great and refreshing to see something new, that you can casually enjoy.
The characters, right. While I can say that the main character's siblings or some of the other characters don't seem like super original, it still felt great to watch and was very enjoyable. But why? I guess it's more like this, you've got more or less the usual characters, but the layout for them is totally different from what I've seen before. This I think is one of the unique parts of it, because it creates new situations and combinations, that no one has really tried before. I like it. And with the simple concept of the story and main character's problem, this adds a lot to the interactions and behavior of the other characters, making it one heck of an experience.
Now for the artstyle and music. As you know, this particular anime is built fully in CGI and I can see how people could just push it aside because of it. But towards those people, I have something to say "Do you really think, that CGI is the same as 10 or 15 years ago?", cause it really isn't. While it is still developing like all of the other arts, the quality has gone up quite a lot and you might be surprised, just how much that is. The only issue that I have towards the CGI is the framerate, it just needs to be 60fps or atleast close to it, since it's not a traditional anime, and even there they spent a long time to fake the framerate and make it fluent. In CGI there are just simply different rules and you have an actual physics engine involved. But when they will nail the correct framerate, it will be perfect. Another important thing I wanna mention, everything is still hand animated, the movements, the gestures and even facial expressions. You might be asking why not use a motion capture suit, and the answer is quite simple, because then it's not an anime anymore. Art, most of the time, has no shortcuts, it's only about perseverance, hard work and self-development. And this applies to voice acting and singing too. When you watch the anime, the characters feel great also because of the work put in by the actors. You can see that they have practiced a lot, especially for that once scene envolving music. That one I liked a lot both from the music and from the story side aswell.
So in the end I give it a solid 9/10. Most of it, is for the framerate issue and a little bit for the character uniqueness. And after reading all of this, if you are still not sure, then you're free to watch it and tell how I am wrong about everything. :D
That's it from me and PEACE, I'M OUT! ^^
