Review of Stars Align

I watched this a bit ago, but I always see this on people's top anime lists and I wanted to give my thoughts on it. I'll start with the thing I liked the most. I really enjoyed that the anime brought up societal issues like domestic violence, transgender and non-binary identities, etc. I think that is difficult to find and the execution was very respectful. Now onto the trainwreck of literally everything else. The characters were cute, yes. But there were too many introduced and yet none of them were developed. There was absolutely no character development and that is what really made this anime boring. Theplot was weak and there were numerous times when watching that I just wanted the episode/anime to end. The only real action was in the last 6 min of the finale and it came out of literally nowhere. It wasn't realistic and honestly ruined the rest of the anime, not that it had much going for itself. It's not very memorable either.]

If you want to watch this anime for a discussion about social issues, then go ahead. But otherwise, I would not recommend this.
