Mixed Feelings
It's an anime with a good premise, but the development of the routes is too fast.

The protagonist, who resembles Shinji from Evangelion to some extent, has an interesting personality, and his passion for photography is noteworthy - capturing not just beauty but also expressing the true feelings of a person.

The anime initially focuses on introducing the protagonist, showcasing scenes, the girls, secondary characters, etc. However, it gives the impression that the anime devoted too much time to the introduction and forgot to focus on the girls. Three episodes are concentrated on the introduction, and the events to introduce the girls could have been spread across their respective episodes.

The most developed route in this anime is Niimi's. Despite the cliché of the childhood friend, there's an explanation and a slightly more serious issue that creates misunderstandings between the couple, leading to a more realistic resolution. Additionally, Niimi is more integrated into the introduction than the others, so the introduction complements her route.

The other routes are less developed, with a too rapid progression. They could have included more events or a problem that generates discussion or conflict in the route. And we must not forget the lazy and senseless kissing scene in Masaki's route.

The last route, Maeda's, is quite bland and cliché. It could easily be replaced by a route for Uchida, a mysterious and interesting girl whose potential, unfortunately, remains unexplored.

Other characters, like the president of the photography club and Katsumi, are cool, but the photography club members are annoying and disrupt scenes involving the protagonist and the girls.

The sceneries are beautiful, but some used for romantic scenes are overly repetitive.

Each girl's personality suits them well; they are beautiful characters and look great when photographed.

The animation is beautiful, especially highlighting the photos taken by the protagonist, which are beautiful in portraying the girls during their daily activities at school.

The opening is beautiful, with each girl's voices standing out as they sing different parts of the song, and the ending is also pleasant.

The soundtrack, in romantic moments, blends well with the scenery.

In conclusion, the anime's proposal is poorly implemented, despite containing some good elements.
