Initially it was difficult in deciding whether to give Clione no Akari a watch. Upon completion, my general thoughts on the anime was that it was decent and I appreciated the concept of the show and what it tried to accomplish even if in trying to execute that idea, it might have come up a little short. The story is focused around a bullied girl, Minori and explores the dynamics that come to play between her and other characters within the class, in particular with Takashi and Kyouko. It's one of those stories that can tug at your heartstrings as you witness the happy and sadmoments that take place in the show. Unfortunately I think the short duration of each episode lessens the impact of some of the emotional scenes.
The art is fine but I think the art style isn't appealing and holds the show back. The characters are okay and they do a good job of carrying the story however none of them really stood out and it was hard to get invested into them.
I didn't get that much enjoyment from Clione no Akari but as I said earlier I appreciated the idea behind the show and that it tried bring a spotlight to the issue of bullying.
