From what I gathered in discussions, the anime skips a ton of manga chapters. Many of it were okay to skip to keep the show romance focused, that's very justifiable, but there are also important parts that shouldn't have been cut and makes the pacing too fast at times. Most likely the thought process was that they were not sure if the show will be popular enough for a 2nd season, so they wrapped things up so it adapts the story in just 1 season with closure. Hindsight is 20/20, the show ended up being popular and they released a sequel that adapts what was cut.
With that being said, the only negative I can say about the show is the weird pacing for the reasons above. It's a shame the adaptation turned out this way, but at the same time who knows how it would've turned out if they adapted the whole thing in 2 parts.
Honestly, this is a slice of life anime, even with the amount of chapters cut from the source material. The story is very simple, there's a minimal driving force through romance, but for the most part things just happen, and that's okay. Miyamura's character is very detailed compared to Hori, and especially compared to all other characters. Among the side characters there are ones more depth and there are ones with less, could be due to the heavy cuts from the source material.
Artisticly I liked the anime a lot. I like Cloverworks animations, the OST is fine too. What really stood out is the opening, this is the only anime where I never skipped the opening. The song is catchy, the visuals are really pretty and detailed, but most importantly the opening perfectly captures the vibe and theme of the show, it's exciting yet calming.
Common sense would tell me it's an 8 because of the weird pacing during the 2nd half and the missed potential due to the cut chapters, but the experience of getting to know these characters and their feelings and their story was just a very pleasant experience that not many anime in this genre can pull off. Anything below 9 doesn't do this show justice.
