The plot is solid, and the characters are strong, though they would benefit from being less loli-like. This piece provokes frustration to such a degree that it becomes strangely enjoyable by the end.
Expanding the plot should not mean cluttering it; clarity is what's missing here. Adopting a Japanese-like setting for a second world feels trite and unimaginative. Additionally, dedicating the final episode to fan service was a misstep as well. The whole season effectively dissolves the tension built up in the previous one without a second thought.
Adding more and more until it all turns black, stacking up the mess until it somehow ends up on TV—the continuation of this anime turns into a tough watch, filled with scenes that showcase a shallow mind.
The main character fails to engage, bogged down by irksome stylistic choices and a narrative that struggles to find any genuinely intriguing moments in the first half, but pursuing the love route was the best choice.
This anime is a sweet treat, sometimes maybe a bit too sweet, but it lovingly crafts a world that's more dreamy than real—a perfect escape into a brighter, more idealized version of a relationship.
This anime had a great introduction to a story, that I wished could express the need to be open about your feelings. However, 3 episodes in, it failed, getting off the track to more of a social justice theme with a sugary ending.
While moments with the main character reuniting with her family offer a fleeting warmth, this anime grapples with delivering a coherent message. If its essence is merely to portray slices of the afterlife, then it unfortunately teeters on the brink of monotony, failing to engage or delve beyond surface-level explorations of its potentially rich themes.
A kind of storytelling, that emphasizes the beauty of life and the significance of interpersonal relationships, resonates with many because it mirrors the universal human experience. They invite reflection on the value of every moment and the importance of cherishing connections while we have them. Such narratives remind us of the preciousness of life and the beauty in the everyday, encouraging viewers to appreciate the small, serene moments that make life rich and full. This anime is the complete opposite. Focusing solely on humanity's dark side without balance, an author appears trapped in a cynical worldview, painting a picture of misery
"A story that may not dazzle in beauty, yet is uplifted by the presence of a charismatic character whose sheer adorableness is impossible to resist" as you think at first, but it is ugly beautiful.
A comedy masterpiece with a delightful heroine and heartwarming father-daughter dynamics, radiating charm and love at every turn. My dream at some sort.
Despite an unappealing art style and the clear constraints of a low budget, this anime manages to engage viewers with mc's challenges. However, this excitement tapers off towards the end. The creator's decision to steer away from any romantic development seems like a missed opportunity, impacting the overall depth and appeal of the narrative.
This anime stands out with its unique narrative techniques, adding to its allure. The story presents a definite challenge, keeping the ending unpredictable. However, some characters fall flat, lacking depth and interest.
This story is certainly unique, and as the characters live out their lives, you begin to feel a connection to them. Yet, the narrative doesn't delve into deeper emotions; it's simply a plain portrayal of friendship as it progresses.
This anime feels as thoughtless as a 14-year-old might be, and its development leaves much to be desired. Despite somehow capturing my interest, the excessive crying every other episode drags it down. If only they would share with us more of the context, it could have been a solid show.

It gets off as a masterpiece would, and lands safely, but one engine is broken. A beautiful 3d animation and song performances. A story with real characters and almost no plot abuse. Other than the ending felt abrupt, it was great.
This anime struggles with pacing and relies too heavily on fight scenes, offering little else. Character development peaks early, within the first few episodes, signaling a missed opportunity for broader engagement with additional characters.
This anime encapsulates life's beauty, making each moment as soothing and eternal as a warm rain you'd hope never ceases. It celebrates the treasure of being with someone dear, where time itself seems to pause, allowing you to cherish every instant. Yet, it beautifully reminds us that time, indeed, marches on, unstoppable.
This anime portrays the worst aspects of idols as they're the best, yet the story remains flat, failing to gain depth even with all the character backstories.
The main character's passion is contagious, making you feel it too. The show hides the ugly sides of being an idol and doesn’t really explain why idols are important. It just tells you to watch without convincing you why - the best decision.
Presents a lukewarm attempt to blend Japanese culture into another realm. Despite this, the main character's charm and cuteness add a layer of appeal, making it an interesting spectacle.
Just when you start to feel a connection to the main character, the anime devolves into a glaring example of Mary Sue storytelling. Every character that interacts with the protagonist seems cut from the same cloth, all inexplicably drawn to her in an identical manner. By the fifth episode, any reason to continue watching evaporates, leaving behind a predictable and uninspiring narrative.
It kicked off well, with characters that felt vibrant and charming, but then it veered off in a direction that diverged from the initial setup. While the second storyline introduced is interesting in its own right, its placement in the latter half of the season feels misplaced. It's hard to grasp the connection or reason for its timing, suggesting that it might have been more fitting to explore this new story in a second season, allowing the first to more deeply develop the main character and their journey.
