I first saw something about this anime through YouTube. The trailer looked intriguing and so I thought I'd give it a try. The story is about a girl named Anzu. A girl who didn't care much about romance until one day she meets Riri, the magical wizard. Riri decides to help Anzu fall in love but in order to do so, they take Anzu's 3 precious things: Video games, chocolate, and Momohiki.
They were not bad. The Op was pretty catchy, though I think there could've been more exciting things happening in the op, rather than just watching Anzu walk around and open doors. Now for the ep, I think it was solid. It's very energetic and has a fast rhythm. The only problem was Riri's voice. In my opinion, it was annoying. I think the op is better.
Now for the plot. I think the plot was decent. I did like that we got to meet the male characters ( and Anzu's possible love interests ) and some of the friends of those characters. Most of the episodes felt slow. There was barely any progress made. Not only that, but it wasn't that funny. When Anzu makes the faces when she is thinking or talking to someone, I found it more cringe than funny. It felt like something was missing. What I did like was the last few episodes, specifically episodes 10, 11, and 12. It really pulled me in. I think it was because of the trauma catching up to Kazuki and seeing the friend group help him. It felt like there was an actual plot in the story and I was actually curious on what would happen in the next episode.
The characters in this series were all unique. Although kinda predictable, they still each had their own personalities and interests. Anzu seems like a good friend, though I wish the writers didn't made her seem like she's "not like other girls" or "quirky". I like how she Saki when she needed it and respected Kazuki for not being interested in a relationship ( at least, was not interested ) Riri was ok, but they were too annoying, which I guess is one way I kinda relate to Anzu. Kazuki was kinda interesting too. Even though he's kinda distant and had gone through a lot, he remained a nice guy. Junta seemed interesting, though he's too obvious about how he feels. Saki is nice, though she did not deserve what happened to her.
All in all, the anime was decent It wasn't the funniest compared to other rom-com animes I've seen, but it still kept me from being bored to some extent. I think what could be better is the humor part. Maybe if we learned more about the side characters thoughts, it would make the story more intriguing and interesting. Oh yeah, and more romantic scenes because, well, it's a rom-com anime. This is my first time writing a review for an anime on here! Hope you enjoyed reading!
