The pacing of this anime is nothing short of atrocious, rushing through episodes with little regard for coherence or depth. While it manages to evoke a few chuckles, its potential remains largely squandered. The premise had the opportunity to explore the fascinating conflict of an otaku girl struggling with her eccentric tastes, yet the plot conveniently sidesteps this, leaving a hollow narrative. The character dynamics, which should have been the show’s strength, instead feel mismanaged, setting up intriguing interactions only to leave them hanging, like a punch that never lands.
Repetition plagues the series, with new plotlines emerging abruptly and vanishing just as quickly, devoid of any meaningful resolution. Growth, which is often the backbone of a short anime, is completely absent. Short-form storytelling thrives on concise yet impactful progression, but instead of embracing this sprint-like format, the anime merely trudges along, failing to capitalize on its limited runtime.
Even the visual storytelling falters, with an overreliance on blushing to indicate emotional shifts, effectively dulling the impact of moments that should have been truly heartfelt. By overusing this crutch, the anime misses critical chances to convey genuine emotional depth. In the end, the experience is nothing more than a waste of time. An anime that had an usual and daring premise utterly failed to deliver.
