Things to know: I'm not a professional, just a fan. No spoilers My review doesn't follow the dumb MAL rating system. I just talk about what's good and bad Grammatical errors are made (unless they're not then, ayyyy)Don't let this review sway you away from watching this show and vice versa

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahhhhhh, god. This is a weird show, but its not too bad. I would say this show has a lot of downs, but a couple good ups. From the characters to the relationship, the show has some promise, but also confuses me.

The show really doesn't get good until the last half, because the first is just a bit of filler (or what felt like filler) for us to get to know the characters. This creates problems. I love a bit of filler, it creates a sense of relief and the atmosphere is very soothing sometimes. Though for something like a romance, the filler is can be very boring. Now its very difficult to create good filler, lots of romances have failed to keep the interest of the audience so its natural for something like this to fail. But this was for a almost half of the show, its was just tiring.

But the show has some goods. The characters seem pretty decent, while the romance seems strong yet soft and touching. The characters are pretty meh looking, but I really like the simple art.

The opening. Right I can't lie, this shit slaps. Now the opening it one of the most important parts of an anime (for me at least). The opening is the one thing that can set the mood for the anime. Some can be creative like Death Parade, contrasting the mood with the anime itself (should've probably put that on my review for death parade). Thought the opening is exciting, up beat, and just all round fun. Very care free feeling and its really catchy. I love it every time I hear it and is just a wow.

Right about now, there isn't a lot of things to talk about. Its a very average show, like very. But the ending is good and its quite calming to watch. I had fun watching it (kinda). the show really had to improve on the side characters and the story and because of that, a 6. The opening really saved this one honestly so not all is bad.
