This is a slice of life comedy anime about a bunch of high school students doing dumb, random and questionable things. I am not skilled enough to write a review without spoilers, but i will try to minimise it. Well, even if i spoiled anything it probably wouldn't make sense
The plot is very simple and easily comprehensible, there is no plot. Its just the daily lives of high school boys and sometimes girls. If the viewer reading this is a male in high school they'd probably feel nostalgic when watching this anime. And after a good episode of laughter or sometimes tears, the good old nostalgic ending song plays and a bucket load of nostalgia just flows in, there is no song that can be sang so badly but sound so good, none other than the ending song of this anime
Your friends going to the park to see if someone really sent you a love letter, destroying your friend's expensive figure because you bought him the same one for his birthday, going to school on a holiday because the teacher told you the wrong date, looking under a girl's skirt to experience whats it like seeing a girl's panties and wearing your little sister's underwear to feel what it feels like, memories, sometimes questionable, but undoubtedly precious and unique. This anime is the manifestation of such memories. Getting pissed at your friend for the smallest things, acting as the bad guys to help your friend from being embarrassed, making a girl feel bad because she made your friends feel bad, getting revenge on a girl because she messed with a guy, friendship. Many deprecate themselves by saying they have no such relationship with anyone, maybe some are telling the truth but it is as clear as the blue sky that humans by nature would want someone at least to have a conversation with, because humans are sociable, online or physical we seek some form of socialisation. This anime can feel up that gap too, although it may be fake, we'd at least enjoy it
Overall, yes the animation isn't something out of studio WIT. Yes the soundtrack isn't top 10 and yes the voice actors aren't as good as kazuma having a conversation with aqua but this anime feels... familiar... comfortable because this is not the daily lives of immortal highschool boys, not the daily lives of highschool boys in another world nor the daily lives of highschool boys dxd. Its just the daily lives of highschool boys. Its the sense of equality or relatability with a show that makes a viewer relax and laugh to their heart's content, and theres no doubt this show can do that. If you're not a guy you'd probably won't relate as well to the reasoning behind the male character's actions, choices of vocabulary or reasoning of emotions, but i'd say give it a try. Plus theres a small segment at each episode on high school girls
