Sigh Alright where do we even begin with this one? First of all if you actually finished all 24 episodes of this dumpster fire like I did I applaud your dedication but sometimes I really do question the decisions I make such as continuing to watch this week after week. Studious male harem protagonists have been somewhat of a repeating character archetype like Futaro Uesugi from The Quintessential Quintuplets or Nariyuki Yuiga from We Never Learn. I am convinced however that Umino Nagi is one of the worst harem protagonists that I have seen. Hes literally Kazuya but gets good grades in school. Hes indecisive and rather dumb for a studious kid. I felt like the author of the manga just gave up on keeping the source material at least at a decent quality because the anime just stopped trying to be good as it went along. Just like the anime youll also probably find that this review youre reading will also drop in quality as it goes along who knows? My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20 STORY: 5.5/25 Im not even going to question the whole swapped at birth thing its animanga and animanga does these stupid things and we know this. Perhaps its just easier to turn your brain off and just appreciate the harem anime as it is but its quite an infuriating show to watch. So we can as usual assume that every girl likes Nagi even his little sister and thats to be expected. What angers me is why the girls try to play wingwoman for another girl when they clearly like Nagi in the first place? Guess romance is weird like that. The pacing is honestly slower than I imagined especially in the second cour where there were cliffhangers galore. Sure there were some well done moments but for the most part it just wasnt very well written or entertaining. ART: 7.7/10 The animation is fine. Its colourful quite a good job honestly. The character designs are quite decent. MUSIC: 8.3/10 I will say I enjoyed both OPs and both EDs theyre honestly one of the highlights of this entire show. CHARACTERS: 5.5/20 Ive already mentioned my disdain for Umino so lets talk about the girls in the story. First theres Erika an Instagram Influencer who lived in a rich household and once she moved out to live with Nagi she didnt know how to do many things and found a lot of mundane activities very new. Shes pretty inoffensive for the most part to watch but her feelings for Umino were rather muddled. Then theres Hiro who was probably my favourite character since it seemed like she might have a little bit of a good backstory but her character writing was rather inconsistent. Sometimes shes extremely kind but sometimes she can come across as a bit overbearing and overly annoying as a character. Lastly ooh boy theres Sachi. Why is she even in this harem? There was no need honestly and she didnt even have much of a role to play. Guess she made this whole show a bit more trashy. ENJOYMENT: 3.5/15 I admit there was a bit of cheap enjoyment to be had and there were a couple very solid episodes but most of it was a snoozefest. THEMATIC EXECUTION: 4.5/20 The themes were rather muddled honestly. What were we trying to do here? Figure out why Nagi and Erika were separated at birth? Just have a slice of life harem? This show is so lost and the directions they took in the second cour really lost me as well as any sign of writing quality went completely awol. OVERALL: 35/100 This show was a mess and its probably not going to end anytime soon at least in the manga. Id compare this show to a lost misguided child. Someone please steer this back onto a road of at least passable writing quality please? Well to be fair I wouldnt really care either way anyway
