I was actually really surprised by how much I enjoyed it! After reading the premise, I was expecting something stupider but it turned out to be surprisingly funny. The animation was pretty good and the soundtrack was just average. The characters are definitely the best part and after the first episode, you already get a pretty good impression on how they are going to be like for the rest of the series. Also, I’m glad to hear that Shinbou Akiyuki (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Hidamari Sketch) is the director behind it all, which basically means that the craziness has truly only begun! I’m still a bit nervous for future episodes and if they will keep my interest, but I do have hope, considering this really seems to be a promising series!

Our main character Fujii is pretty boring, but we’re all watching this for Aya Hirano and Nana Mizuki anyway! I was originally excited for this series, until I heard from many that it was actually boring, but after seeing it for myself, I actually enjoyed it. The animation is great and naturally, the soundtrack already seems fantastic! The story looks slow and in a way very realistic, but when it comes to a romance, that could really be a positive if they play it out right. The series has a lot of potential and I think I might blog because I want to see what will happen to this series because I really have high hopes.
