on the shell, kure-nai is a very dull anime. the music is boring especially when the next episode is previewed and there are lots of local fanservice made to mention. however, after watching it, you would surprisingly find the anime deep. every episode rarely has relation with one another but it features lots of things reflecting culture, beliefs, change, and resolve. take the simple squabbles between murasaki and shinkurou. they always quarrel over petty things but they are only acting on their belief of their own right. they who live on different cultures and circumstances, when given before a problem or a point of discussion, they would fight over what they believed in.
the same goes for all other characters within the story. i believe that there's no such thing as "minor" in this anime. the playgirl tamaki, the emo yamie, the flirt yuno, the stern ginko, the carefree benika, up to the serious yayoi. everyone lives in their own principle, guided by their own circumstance and belief and i think that factor makes this anime a success.
an anime coated with boredom and differences but gives everyone a sweet taste of understanding and appreciation of life. that's the true strength of kure-nai
