For the most time the anime will feel very generic, there is some drama between the friends, however, partially only because some of the characters are the most stupid beings I've seen in the last time. What also shines through are some of the author or director's values, that a relationship between a 10 year old girl and a 16 year old boy is totally fine, however don't worry, in this anime the 16 year old boy I am talking about is in love with someone else, though otherwise that relationship would have been a possibility apparently lol. It might be just my overinterpretation but there is also a homophobic stance of the author in Episode 4 (in general Episode 4 is just a big mess; it's also where the 10 year old girl is introduced just to be never seen again later).
This bugged me, cause it's just so unnecessary and whenever an anime seems in whatever way serious about the "age is just a number" thing I just need to shake my head, especially when I feel that the author genuinely thinks this way.
On the other hand towards the end the anime is rapidly getting better and makes a valuable statement about PTSD and depression. How hard can it affect one's life? The anime is really taking it's time to show how unbelievably painful PTSD can be, even if it shows that from an outsiders perspective mostly. Do you think you would notice if a person was suffering from depression? Myself; yourself will probably proof you that you can't and that suicidal thoughts are mostly invisible. However if you are reading this and get a go at the series I am sure you'd get an idea.
Anyways, overall I don't regret watching this show, even if it is mostly not so brilliantly written, the last 2-3 episodes really saved the anime. If you can hold on for that long, I would recommend you to go ahead and give it a go. If not, there are probably other anime that pick up the same topics in a better way without keeping you on a hook for 10 episodes.
