But then again, I, who finished this entire series, am an idiot too.
Pretty much the only thing that keeps this anime series alive and kicking are the various absurd and stupid antics that the characters get up to. Even at the beginning, I am pretty sure that not just me, but many others, were intrigued by the working viability of an active polygamous relationship. Having one girlfriend is already quite a bit, but two? You'd have to truly believe that this entire thing would work to continue with it. Plus the pacing ran really quickly at the beginning, so much so that it went from boyfriend/girlfriend to boyfriend/girlfriend/girlfriend living together. In the first episode. People may call that "rushed", but in my opinion it was stupidly awesome.
Now of course, we cannot have an anime without characters, can we? Naoya Mukai, the main guy of the series (and pretty much the only guy in the series) is a stupid bastard who digs himself a hole with every word he says. Yet, his personality forces him to continue digging, in the hopes that he'll eventually dig himself out of the other side of the world. That being said, he is a very extreme protagonist, often pushing himself to make ludicrous promises and do crazy things to prove himself. Yet all this would never had been good had it not been for his resilience. No matter what, he keeps his promises, he does the things, and he continues digging, no matter the cost. This is a man I can respect, even if he sometimes looks like an asshole doing it sometimes. The girls pretty much pale in comparison to Naoya, though Nagisa Minase, Naoya's second girlfriend, gets a bit of character development ONLY IN THE LAST EPISODES. Adding to the cast we have Saki Saki, Naoya's first girlfriend and childhood friend, Rika Hoshizaki, the girl who really, really wants to get close to Naoya, and Shino Kiryu, Saki's friend. Oh yeah, did I mention that they all have feelings for him?
The one thing I find quite interesting about the series is how much the anime hates on Naoya. Pretty much every single episode he is getting punched, elbowed, or kicked, repeatedly in some cases. Its been done so much its almost comical, and a relief to see it happen. Now, I don't condone abuse of any gender at all, but Naoya being able to get up after every beating is just phenomenal.
Rating: 8/10 (Not good, but stupid enough that I can like it)
