7/10

That was quite intense and hilarious.

I wasn't sure that I would like this at first based on the first episode, but I wanted to finish it and overall I found the show entertaining and funny.

This compared to other anime I have watched recently is definitely way more exaggerated, over the top, and relies more on the comedy than other aspects of the show to appeal to the audience. I know it is a trope for anime to over exaggerate what would be normally a calmer situation, but with this one they pump it up more than what I am used to. The show knows the plot is pretty silly and revels in it by trying to make it more comedic. I feel in general that is what this show does. When characters make odd/silly decisions, when something ridiculous happens in the plot or something else like such, the show is very aware and just revels in the ridiculous situation to make it more funny. I think, for the most part, it succeeded. I feel the show is asking for the whole situation to not be taken as seriously. I also am glad that the show was not as predictable as I was worried it would be. I was thinking based on the cover that the main character would get a third and fourth girlfriend and so on, but it actually went another direction that I was happier with.

In regards to complaints, I would say that really no one in the story has much an arc. Sure, they have some up and downs and maybe very tiny arcs within a subplot, but for the most part the characters are the same throughout and don't go through any real change. The show does I think try to make up for it with again it's comedy and entertainment value, which I think is more what this show is for.

Overall, I would say this show was pretty funny to watch and I would like to check out a second season if it happens. I don't think this is the best anime out there, but it was entertaining and I am glad to have checked it out.

You've reached the end.
