Dont want to come off as rude but uhh... Ive liked to watch anime since I was super young however I havent called myself a true anime fan for years now. Recently things have changed I decided I wanted to give it a go again as Ive been having a blast revisiting shows like Serial Experiments Lain Black Lagoon Baccano and even more recent shows like Frieren surprised me. I thought well time to get back into the anime community Lets see whats recommended now. I saw this show on the sidebar banner for the r/anime and thought if r/anime is recommending this show for rewatch for this month it must be a hidden gem or something. NGL this show reminded me of what I used to find constantly cringe in anime so many years ago. Theres so much to dislike about this show Why? Fan service up the ass with some outrageous camera angles trying to constantly push in sexual jokes and a sappy romcom that quite literally goes through all the boxes of cliche situations. The show felt so derivative I feel like after episode 1 you already know how its gonna end. Its biggest sin is that nothing comes off as a surprise. I mean I understand theres different genres for different people but uhhh yeah this show was cringe to sit through. I had to blitz throught it if I wanted to really stick around till the end. I ended up seeing everything in 1.5x to 2x speed both the reviews on MAL and posts in r/anime said that the show gets better after episode 5 but I beg to differ. You cant really change the underlying issues that is its derivative story with an obvious outcome. I actually saw the whole thing cause theres no way that the showcase show of the month can be this bad. The only real positives in my eyes Watching the whole show 2x speed I felt like was the only way I could had actually gone through with it. If it was only available in 1x I would had dropped this show so fast. Conclusion All in all I wouldnt recommend this show. Its a generic overdone predicable show at best and what I would call seasonal slop at its worst. Again dont want to come off as rude and everyone is entitled to like what they like but there was little to no value here for me and it would be a disingenuous for me to say this show is any good.
