Story: Nothing really happens until after half the series. At least for me, nothing really hooked me in until then. It's very slow-paced. The beginning felt boring. It was mostly the characters hanging out and going to school with mini foreshadowings. The plot twists are either predictable or make you go "No way!". It's pretty much hit or miss. Surprising as they can be, they can be hard to sit through. I did not really like the end because I felt it could have been spread out a bit more instead of tying up the loose ends in a rushed way within the last episode.
Art: Pretty good, clean and consistent. Probably the best thing of this series and a huge reason people wanted to watch this.
Sound: A couple of the bgm songs were okay, felt like getting the ost after finishing the series. Opening and ending songs were definitely keepers. They were pretty rocking songs. As for the voice actors they were fine. There was a pretty good lineup of recognizable ones. I only have a problem with Aoi's voice... it is so high and annoying. Seriously, every time she's on screen, I brace myself. I don't have anything against the voice actor but... ah, you'll know what I mean if you decide to watch this.
Character: Here's a main problem with this series. I can't really say if they were brilliantly written or just kind of lame.
Sana - He's not really the main that goes around trying to fix everything, he'd like to but the other characters keep to themselves most of the time. I don't have much of a problem with him except on two occasions. Especially at the end, it made me respect him less because his problem is shown to us in a rushed way. A bit much to handle all at once. We know he has a problem but we don't know what it is until the last episode... My other problem with him is the way he reacts to certain things. One is regarding Asami but it's a spoiler so we'll leave it at that.
Nanaka - I could understand what's up with her in episode 1 but she has a lot of mood swings and it gets a little annoying as she doesn't really get her facts straight first so she's either angry at times or very content. Plus, they don't really establish what's up with her until much later in the series.
Aoi - Annoying, go away.
Asami - I thought you were cool...
Shuri and Shuusuke - I really wish they weren't brother and sister, they were written pretty well and it was nice seeing how they take care of each other. Their story was pretty gripping.
Hinako - I liked her more than some of the other characters but she just wasn't important enough. I know she's younger and all but she really had no influence on the plot. She just took up two episodes and made them all about her.
Enjoyment: I don't know what kept me watching, maybe because of the little hints that something would eventually happen or the high expectations I had so I stuck with it. It started to pick up after halfway but the end was so rushed. Can't say I hated it or it was as bad as other things I've seen. This could've been pretty good, it just wasn't carried out properly. I also wish there was more romance between the two main characters. You know something'll happen for these two but no hand holding and no kiss...
Overall: It is slow but if you can sit through the first 8 episodes you'll do fine or ask someone who did watch it and skip the Hinako episodes to save you time as you won't be missing anything. The drama is kind of worth it but to be honest, this Anime is definitely not for everyone.
Thank you for reading my review. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helped.
