This was part of my beginning of college binge. Nothing much has been going on, I think I took all easy classes this quarter which was a mistake I didn't realize until like right now, so I've just been chilling and watching a lot of anime. I think I'm going to join the anime club on campus so you might get some reviews in the future that don't have screenshots or not as many because in club we watch anime too so...yeah. Besides that I'm kind of lost on the whole college scene~ (<--that was such fake cheerfulness, I apologize in advance)
{Spoilers, but like not really???}
When I read a little online blurb about this it seemed really lighthearted anbd pure, a great recovery anime from the disturbance I recieved from Kuzu no Honkai. Unfortunately to me it read more as a bland series rather than something fresh and fun. I was under the impression that it might be a set of different stories, but instead it revolved around two main couples. The other couples interacted on an extremely shallow level and left a lot up to your own inference that they ended up together and lived happily ever after. Honestly the characters themselves were so shallow and inconsistent that I had to google their names. It's also because three of their last names started with M: Mishima, Mihashi, and Mashiki. So the main pairings were Mishima x Mashiki and Mihashi x Honda. And that would've been alright if their characters were consistent and somewhat novel. But they weren't. Mishimi was your run of the mill shy protagonist that seems very caring and concerned, but somewhere along the way he just got a lot more stoic. There were a lot of scenes with just staring interspersed with a lot of blushing smiles. And he was fixated on the Merprince book. Mashiki was your run of the mill female protagonist who's a bit ditzy, super kind and cheerful, and she's secretly sick. *cough* Nagisa from Clannad *cough* Just kidding that's obviously not the only one where this scenario occurs, but it just seemed very convenient and it didn't go into a lot of depth because usually if you had a sibling who died you'd have a lot of trauma surrounding the incident, but Mashiki seemed pretty fine until her armor broke down, if you're trying to validate them. Again with the characters that are pretty cookie cutter and standard is Mihashi. She's your typical soft tsundere and this one kind of makes sense because she literally is drawing all her romantic experience from the shoujo manga she reads. So one point for these people. And then Honda is that sporty, flirty guy that seems to have a lot of fun, but has a dark and edgy past aka he doesn't recognize his mom's remarriage and runs away from it. There's not a whole lot of depth.
Honestly if you asked me what I was watching it was a whole lot of fluff, a thrown together plot, and not a whole lot of substance to watch. It was kind of painful to be honest. It wasn't what I was expecting and there wasn't any super big shockers except for Mashiki's twin's death and how that was Mishima's shallow first love as a kindergartner. Whoopee. Maybe I'm being too harsh on it, but I really can't find a reason as to why you'd want to watch this anime over many others that have the same-ish premise, minus like all the scenes at the konbini, executed in a better fashion and with deeper characters. Don't kill the messenger, these are just my scrub opinions. So, watch this if you want to fight me on how bad or good you thought it was, but I'd say you're better off finding another one to watch.
Hmm..this made me kinda happy. What if the whole anime was this style?? Omg trippy
*snickers* the best scene though
Eh, it's cute I guess?
He's so selfish, but I guess it comes from his mom remarrying without asking him. But honestly he just liked her because she has different expressions and was kinda interesting anyways so I don't really approve of this relationship??
Focus on school!
This just doesn't do it for me
I mean I guess this is kinda cute out of context if you didn't watch the painfully slow/inconsistent development
The way they panned out in this scene was totally strange and different from the rest of the series. I mean there was a lot of face panning, but this was just weird.
Study!!!
See? If you just thought this you'd come to a similar conclusion as me. It's too bad really that it happened like this.
