Story:
Pro: It doesnt try to be extremely deep, complicated or philosophically oriented, which can really annoying in some stories; its just really fun to watch and keeps u wanting to know what happens next. It has many shounen aspects in its fight scenes that make it exciting. It has the right amount of drama that skips most of the boring intermissions that i see in a lot drama/romance anime and goes straight to the more juicy parts. Its content of romance is enough to make u care about the relationship of the two main characters and to make u think its sweet, but it isnt overplayed to the point where it gets boring and they have to think of all sorts of twist to try to make it fun again. It is also makes the ending very bittersweet.
Con: Since the story doesnt cover all of the VN, it is only as complex or deep as many other popular animes so dont expect it to be otherwise. As such, it also leaves many questions unanswered.
Art:
Pro: Its art is top notch. The characters are beautifully drawn, among the best.
Con: Can’t really think of any.
Character:
Pro: Most of the characters have lovable personality, none is overly annoying. They did very well with the two main characters to make u care about their relationship.
Con: The characters aren’t exactly original and are derived from popular anime stereotypes but that’s expected. However, these stereotypes are famous for a reason and the anime vary the characters enough and intergrate them well enough into story that they remain lovable without getting old. The biggest flaw I find with the characters is that many of them have little development and background. The anime follows the route of the main heroine in the VN, Sabar, so naturally she is gonna have the most development. The VN solves this problem completely and superbly with its multiple routes but the VN is another matter. However, these flaws do not hinder the enjoyment of the anime.
Enjoyment:
This is where the anime really shines and makes it a top notch anime. Enjoyment is the biggest factors that I consider; this anime was just fun as heck to watch and keeps u wanting to watch more. Sure the story and characters aren't exactly original and the story is pretty straightforward. Many of the characters are left with little development as well. But really, who cares. None of these flaws make this anime any less exciting to watch or any harder to get attach to. I'm not saying that i dont care about those elements in a story, its just that they arent necessary in every story and they do little to harm this anime, so little that i hardly consider them flaws. In fact, there are many animes that i've watched that try to create original, complex, or realistic characters or story that just comes off as annoying or a bore.
Conclusion:
Overall this anime is one of the most enjoyable I’ve seen. It isn’t perfect though, things can always be improved. Though its flaws did not prevent it from being a very enjoyable show, fixing those flaws would have made it better. This; however, is very difficult to do since it is based on a VN with multiple routes and can lower its enjoyment by having to shorten the route that it is depicting. Some fans of the VN may also have problems with the incompleteness of the anime. If u like action/adventure animes that have doses of drama/romance and doesnt drag on and on than this anime might be worth a watch.
