TL,DR: This anime sorely lacks direction. If you're looking to kill time or just adding another harem-ish anime to your watch-list, yeah, give it a shot. Otherwise you'd be better off watching another romantic comedy like Nozaki-kun or Ore Monogatari.
Animation Quality: okay mostly, sometimes really pretty
Story: starts out okay, gets confused and lost
Characters: present, some of them actually starting to show signs of development
Overall Opinion: Forgettable and bland
Some friends and I started this anime because we were curious about the title. Best case scenario, we'd get a funny romantic comedy, worst case, we'd get a nice and toasty dumpster fire.
The first three episodes seemed promising. The whole setting is your typical "High school boy likes girl" with everything building up to the confession. So pretty standard stuff really, decently enjoyable. The characters, even if displaying very genre-typical traits, are written okay. The chemistry between the character works okay. All signs were set for this anime to be an okay watching experience.
After that we start spiraling out of control. Ever more love interest are introduced and the story starts having an identity crisis. The anime basically ditches the school setting to change into a "this is about actors/acting now"-costume. We stuck with it, because we'd still get the occasional chuckle out of it, along with not only a beach episode, but a whole beach arc!
Boy, were we ever unprepared. Starting at roughly episode 6, every episode was basically a new first episode. The anime continues to re-establish what kind of relationship the characters have to the protagonist, and how they feel about him. Instead of feeding us the story, or whatever is left of it, in small, easy packages, we get assaulted by characters gushing exposition and repeats of their history with the protagonist up until now. Characters pop in and out as they please, too. So be prepared for them demanding you care, even if they had a whole combined screen-time of maybe 30 seconds. Don't get too attached, though, because they will disappear into the void the moment you take your eyes off the screen.
The last episode takes the cake, though. We start off with some cheap panty-shots in the first 5 minutes, even if the anime went without for 11 episodes. Next, we get YET ANOTHER recap of the protagonist's past with one of the main love interests, and a final confession. Yet, the moment you think they finally did the thing with the most common sense and TALK, the anime just yeets that idea out of the window again, just to give us another 5 minutes of filler discussion of side characters, analyzing the protagonist's relationship and actions for whatever reason.
To top it all off, we end on a cliffhanger, since the light novel has not come to a conclusion either.
