One of the Best anime of all time. I thoroughly enjoyed this anime hands down. One of the best anime of all time in my honest opinion. There's so much I want to say about this anime that it's hard to effectively organize this

Main Ratings:

Visuals 9/10

Overall very nice the animation was fluid and the effects were really cool and well into it. It truly got me happy and inspired at the moment and the comedy was amazing. Nothing too focused and nothing too glanced over. It was just right. The ending theme of the episodes also made me feel things I've never felt before.

Sound 10/10:

Honestly perfect in my honest opinion. Along with the already cool opening, I liked what they did with episode 3 where they redid the opening. Shows how much care went into the creation of this anime. Along with the soundtrack which was great, too. The ending made me feel feelings I'd never felt before. It was great.

Characters 5/10:

I read in another review that because it was 13 episodes some characters had minimal to no development and I honestly couldn't agree more. If it wasn't for the opening constantly reminding me of their names I would have no idea who some of the characters were. One dude is literally in it for like 2 episodes and doesn't appear until like episode 12 where he was "training" the whole time. I'm dead-ass for real he legit was gone for half the series and basically comes back a new person. I'm not making this up. This is an actual fact in the anime. Most of the characters in the finale also straight up disappeared without a word. Like what the hell, why even add them in the first place? Anyways, 5/10. The only true characters I genuinely enjoyed were the 5 at the end and maybe a couple of other goofballs.

Comedy 8/10

The first 7-9 episodes were some of the funniest and most well-placed comedies in I'd probably say all of anime. (Except for episode 3 and maybe episode 8 iirc) The slow-mo reels and the generic comedy were just hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed watching each and every episode.

Finally, the story, 10/10

Its story is the only anime to EVER make me visibly and audibly cry. The only other Japanese thing that could make me do that was Final Fantasy 15. I truly felt involved with each character and their endings and again, the only episode to ever make me cry for the whole 23 minutes was Graduation. I'm so into anime because I want to replicate that feeling. I have never felt that way before when I was visibly shaken to tears from an anime story and I sadly don't think I will ever again. Truly holds a place in my heart and is, to this date almost 11 years later the only anime to make me cry like a baby. I watched it with my mom when I was 9/10 and She and I held each other as we cried profusely. Again, to this day only anime to ever make me do this.

Overall a 96/100 because it is this magical. I have never experienced an anime where it made me feel everything including excitement or laughing or crying or so many other powerful emotions that I cannot list because it's just that well done. But this anime made me profusely cry and for that, I bump it from a. 92 to a 96.

Tidbits, anime was cut down to 13 episodes so each episode is full of love and care but, to be honest, this kind of hurt it as many characters and side plots were incredibly rushed. Especially the PC, which to be honest is probably the only letdown of this anime. It's legit just some random dude I'm not even capping; i for real and am being in entirely honest do not think he has a name. Also, it's criminal that this masterpiece only has 13 episodes. You can tell the Animation team wanted to do more because there are like 5 OVA's of this. Not even Naruto has that many movies. Also, another tidbit was the random characters like TK I'm Deadass might've shown up legit in 3 episodes. Another was the fat dude turned skinny, and a bunch of others who deadass might've only shown up legitimately 3 times in all anime.
