At first, I thought it was one of those typical high school animes, where everything goes the way the MC and the supporting characters wants, where nothing really bad happens, just enjoying their happy little school life. But surprisingly, this anime focused on the concept of belonging, our main character first didn't feel like he belonged, since he wanted to get out of Sakurasou, an old dorm full of weird people, he wanted to escape from the crazy stuff happening within and going back to a normal school life, but as the anime progresses, he feels more attached to the people and Sakurasou, it made a great effort at portraying the sense of belonging to place, in the remaining half of the anime the building was about to get demolished, but they didn't want that, so they tried their best to prevent it from happening, and I liked the end result of it.
IMO, this anime threw a bit of Clannad AfterStory into the storyline, where our MC and supporting characters go through real life issues through hardwork, error and trial, though they fail at some point, they still have their dedication to reach that goal. Although it doesn't pass the barrier to the adult society, it portrays some aspects of real life issues outside of highschool. I like how not everything went as planned, which is a good thing because it shows how cruel reality is outside their happy little highschool life.
Overall this anime was enjoyable, I gave it a 7/10 on the score thing, but my real overall score is 7.5/10. I guess this is a must watch anime, a great anime, but not amaaaaaaaaaaazing.
