TLDR Its a sliceoflife but all the jokes are just repeated over and over again. On top of that the main cast is nothing special and the two protagonists are weird and just the lowlight of the cast. There is romance but its mediocre at best and honestly just gross sometimes: Tench is supposed to be 26 and he is constantly trying to hit on the 16yearold Sakuranomiya Maika. Ew. At least the show is selfaware about it: https://files.catbox.moe/c1nqec.png Full Review The shows premise of a bunch of characters working as actors/servants in a caf is pretty good but the execution is terrible. It gets old really fast and they do a horrible job at changing things up so that it doesnt become stale. If they hadnt introduced new characters from time to time I would have dropped it for sure. A lot of the action is unrealistic to the point of being annoying and it was hard to make sense of it half the time. For example: And this sort of thing makes up a majority of the conflict in the show its honestly pretty sad how repetitive it is. Story 3/10 I understand that this is supposed to be a sliceoflife anime where story is not at all the focus but the way they handled this is just bad in my opinion. Many sliceoflife shows including some of my favorite shows ever dont have a story at all but this anime does it worse. They tried to make a sliceoflife but they wanted to jam in a story and the first best thing that came to mind was apparently a cringy romance story that goes nowhere. That on its own wouldnt be so bad if it werent for the fact that 80 of the shows jokes actions and conflicts happen solely because of this romance between Tench and Sakuranomiya Maika. The show wound be nothing if it werent for these two characters. I think introducing the characters one by one is a smart decision but it doesnt help much especially when they introduce the dog that they then forget about for the next two episodes and that has absolutely no purpose whatsoever other than being a cheap plotdevice. The last episode is above average until they slap the most unsatisfying ending on it that they possibly could have and of course a fanserviceOnsenscene. Characters 6/10 The main cast is diverse and fun the personalities play nicely with the characters acts in the caf and their amount is wellchosen. However the two protagonists Sakuranomiya Maika and Tench couldnt be more generic in my opinion. Their introduction is clich and unrealistic too and their agegap of ten years is just too much for me. Hoshikawa Mafuyu is pretty okay all things considered maybe a little onesided but I think its fine. Hinata Kaho is annoying at first but sees some serious development later on in the show making her a good character overall. Amano Miu is a onetrick pony but still kind of fun. Same goes for Akizuki Ky: onetrick pony but kind of fun. He also sees some development later on which is nice. Kanzaki Hideri is best girl. Period. But jokes aside Kanzaki Hideri is unironically not a terrible character and its a shame that they introduce her so late into the show. I feel like if the show revolved around Hinata Kaho and Akizuki Ky it would be a lot more interesting and less repetitive than it turned out to be. World 5/10 Its small as usual for a sliceoflife but the caf is nice and everything feels immersive. The homes of all the characters look convincing and nice. Overall average but not terrible at all. Visuals 6/10 There are some nice effects here and there that really enhance some of the scenes but its nothing flashy. The OP spoils the characters that later get introduced but the ED doesnt which is kind of weird. My main problem with the visuals is simply that Sakuranomiya Maika is supposed to have this terrifying look on her face when there is literally no sight of that or Im just blind. Akizuki Ky looks much more frightening and yet that is never mentioned. Audio 4/10 The sound design is pretty decent but both the OP and ED are musical trash if you ask me. The OP was memed to death and that is all that its good for its not fun its not natural it feels corporate and halfhearted. Same thing goes for the ED except that is also boring as all hell. They even messed up the mixing on the ED. Comedy 6/10 There were some funny moments sprinkled throughout the show but that gets undermined by the fact that nearly every joke gets repeated at some point making it frustrating and boring. I like the awkwardness between some of the characters except between Tench and Sakuranomiya Maika which was just dry repetition of a kindergarten romance. Rewatchability 1/10 Really its just not worth watching a second time unless you like the comedy aspect of it. Note that I did not grade on sadness as I usually do because the show just wasnt ever trying to be sad and it would have just dragged down the score. Conclusion Average of all scores: 4.4/10 Average without rewatchability: 5/10 My score: 4/10 Its a very average show with a premise that could have been cool but wasnt. On top of that the protagonists are unlikable and the conflicts are stiff and dry in most places. I was expecting more.
