This anime will always be my guilty pleasure. The relationship between Mei and Yuzu is so good(in a toxic way) and I forever defend the anime adaptation. The pacing is solid with consistent fan service and lovers quarrels to keep viewers engaged. The character cast is fine, albeit underdeveloped (besides Yuzu and Mei). Yuzu is extremely well developed and her mission to understand her and Mei's feelings is very genuine an beautiful. Mei is a bit more linear, being the 2nd protagonist, but this is not to say she does not make significant changes over the course of the show. The first "antagonist" is meh but not great and the 2nd one is downright filler and is only their to force a divide in the romance. The show is strongest when its focusing on the romance and not external situations. Many discuss the ethics and morality of Yuzu and Mei's relationship, and while I understand the thought, this is a show meant to portray an unrealistic and taboo love. Attempting to morally condemn the show is a misunderstanding of the point. To conclude, this show just does everything for me, and while I understand the hate, I just cannot bring myself to not love this one. Overall: not for everyone, but a favorite of mine.
