This anime is about social interaction between different groups, including interest groups. There are some incredibly colorful characters here that are worthy of mentioning in their own right. What is only worth Shizuo Heiwajima: and his own philosophy, and his troubles, well, and comic scenes with his participation strongly motivate to tear through the grayness of the narrative.
The plot itself is very poor and often fits in a few words. People live, entertained by the game of friendship, looking for a way to realize their dreams, even if they consist in finding their own head.
As the play progresses, one is simply amazed at the mass stupidity, the ridiculousness of the characters' lives. Many events happen simply because the authors decided so: there were no preconditions for them. The viewer is put in front of insane facts, and then hastily come up with a justification for them, so that you feel deceived.
The most gorgeous thing about this anime is the drawing and animation style. Yes, fans of proportions will weep with laughter at the design of many characters, but such clarity and fluidity of movements and repositions, almost artistic change of shots and angles speak of great skill of the studio. It's hard to explain in words the success of the animation itself, but it's done in an incredibly appealing way. And if the plot is a rare nonsense, where no conflict is settled to the end, not resolved, but simply glossed over until better times; then the animation of the city, characters and scenery itself is full of life. It's a world that is very easy to believe in. In this case, the execution of the plot was better than the plot.
By the way, there are still a couple of episodes where a very non-trivial "movement" is organized, but unfortunately, the viewer just can't guess so that he can skip empty episodes with kilograms of exaggerated experiences. For a brief moment there is an illusion of plot, meaningfulness and, most interestingly, some intrigue. But then the authors also successfully ruin expectations, ending everything with boring everyday life.
Personally, I have mixed feelings: it did not immediately occur to me to rewind the procrastination that haunts the viewer from episode to episode, so I personally lost a lot of time. On the other hand, still a couple of episodes paid off my investment and my attention. So I advise you to admire the graphics, tolerate the killed plot and wait for a couple of important moments.
