From the absolute rubbish that is the art style, to the poor animation techniques seemingly perpetually attempting to cut corners, very little visually amounts to much. This odd, dysfunctional and overwhelmingly unsettling series overuses generic tropes to the bitter end, leaving a poor taste in the mouths of nearly any viewer that crosses paths. Its minimalistic plotline as well as its very dull slice of life moments bare minimal fruit, loosing the attention of many in the process. While references decades old are thrown into the mix, and I am impressed to an extent by what the writers came up with, it can't compensate for the sheer weight of negative material perpetually mixed in. What I can appreciate is the attempt at some semblance of a real romantic relationship. My issue is not necessarily even the romance's continuity but its consistency throughout the series. That and the lack of growth it had, likely attributed to a poor overall setup.
A final rating of five was given for its shotty attempts at displaying something better than what it could rightfully handle. Especially for its time period, to ask anything of a series in the ecchi genre feels like a lost cause. This series was no worse an example than any other. At the very least, I was not appalled or deeply offended by the lack of thought put into each character.
