Do you like girls? if so this is one of the best anime you could watch With some of the best post Gunbuster/Evangelion/Princess maker designs I've ever seen and a tone that feels straight out of a Mitsuru Adachi manga this is what is up, I genuinely feel that this is one of the peaks of 90's moe and anyone who likes seeing cute girls will enjoy it. While it does lean upon some more conventional elements of anime it utilizes the kinds of inventive characterization that appeared in KareKano, If you're looking for something to come off you Gainax binge and to adjust yourself better to thetypical climate of anime this will be the perfect trantition, no episode feels too long or too short, they manage to pack in just enough charm to keep it feeling good through the course of its run.

A very good anime from the 90s that was overlooked and overshadowed because it's a non mecha anime that came out in the time often called the Great Mecha Boom, because of the success of shows like Gundam Wing and Evangelion. If you are interested in the 90s anime but is tired of Giant Robots punching other Giant Robots and Monsters, this is a good anime for you. Story: 8/10 Imo, this is one of the few good VN to anime adaptations. The story is not too unique. It's fairly simple and easy to follow which, imo, is a good thing. And it's not dumb like quitea number of romance anime. The romance in here, while being not actually that true to reality, or the best, is still quite realistic compared to most harem/romance anime. Art: 8/10 When it comes to art, I have to say, this is the peak of 90s moe animation. The art and animation stays consistent through the entire run of 13 episodes. The characters looks good and cute, the BG not great but ok. It has everything you'd expect from a 90s anime. The fan service is there but not that much and not the main focus, which would be either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your taste. Sound: 6/10 Unfortunately, IMO, soundtrack is not the strong point of this anime. The OP is quite catchy. The background soundtrack does it's job but none of the really catch my ears. Characters: 8/10 As expected from an anime adapted from a VN/ Dating sim, this anime features a vast array of colorful female characters. They cover wide range of different character troupes. While none of the characters are too unique, they are good enough to make you actually care about them(at least the ones that get enough screen time anyways). Plus, the main character looks quite distinct and has a lot of personality, for a MC character of a VN, which is supposed to be a self insert character, much to my surprise. Plus, this main character is not oblivious the feelings of the girls around him, unlike a lot of romance and harem MC. Plus, despite being a "harem" anime, you won't see the girls constantly fighting for the MC's D and you will rarely see the MC being surrounded by more than 2 girls. And the girl's in here often go out of their way to improve their relationship with the MC instead of just maintaining the status quo. The MC also often go out of his way to actually get into a relationship, which is quite refreshing to see after seeing so many wimpy MCs. Enjoyment: 9/10 As a huge fan of moe, this anime is a hidden gem and a rare find for me. While it's not the greatest that I've seen, I can say without a doubt, it's one of the best, at least for me. I had a great time watching it. Overall: 9/10 This was a great find for me. It's an anime I enjoyed watching and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have an English release, which is a shame. I hope a licensor or a streaming service would pick it up sometime later so that more people can enjoy this 90s hidden gem.
