This show comes across as lacking effort in every aspect. I had the clear sensation from away that I was seeing a drama CD that had been fully animated after the fact. There is not much animation. There is cut-and-paste storyboarding. It's a pointless performance. The incredibly unsightly lens flare-like filter that's applied to every shot is ridiculous. Why did they act in such way? In all honesty, I would be more offended if someone took the time to write this because, in the first episode, our main character basically explains his biography each time a new scene begins. How little must you regard your audience if you're not just copying and pasting every manga panel, without any modifications, into your storyboard out of laziness?
Aside from the adaptation quality, the content is poor. The show has the usual one-joke concept comedy problem, but it also makes repeated attempts to be philosophical and emotional, only managing to come across as patronizing. Basically, every setup consists of our protagonist giving his employer some sob tale, to which his boss responds by consoling him while everyone else cries and applauds. It may sound like I'm kidding, but they really do clap. Several times! For total strangers! It's so phony that they even have background extras say repeatedly, verbatim, how this watching experience has "healed" them. These are people you do not know! You are unaware of this circumstance! With what are you establishing a connection?
There are many stereotypes in our cast of characters, including the oppressed protagonist, the sympathetic and caring new boss, and the nasty, cunning, and cruel former boss. They are just that. None of them have any depth. Humans are either nice or bad. Look at their names; it's essentially black and white morality that never aspires to be anything more. It's so superficial that it borders on cynicism. The supporting cast is also unimpressive, with a phony cat among them. I doubt the mangaka has ever seen a real-life cat and an insecure man who likes an insecure mascot and whose schtick is to insert himself into discussions in order to be insecure. He is the one thing I hate the most about my viewing experience, if I had to choose.
