I don't have social anxiety or any type of syndrome or disorder that would disrupt my communication, I can speak with people just okay, and same goes to online, so going into this show, I'm only gonna be judging it based on: How well the message was conveyed, along with every aspect this show has.

I'm very conflicted with this show.

(slight spoilers)

The first thing that has drawn my attention is its animation:

it's IMMACULATE, the very definition of "amazing", every single scene just looks WICKED BEAUTIFUL, every single scene (including the bad and the horrible) is just eye-gasmic to see unfold and pleasant, Every single character, except for probably Najimi are enhanced by the animation, every piece of scenery looks great.

Now you might look at the first part and think "I would unanimously love this" well, you are dead wrong, moving on to the characters of this show:

this is one of the most flawed aspects of this show, and it ruins more of the message that you would think, as they DO NOT (if not, at all) help Komi make conversations in a meaningful way (meaningful, meaning that they give advice and feedback on how Komi talks and such)

Let's start with the characters i like/love throughout this season:

Shouko Komi, now she's the reason why I'm not giving the characters an F, although she can't speak, she has a very tender, endearing, and charming soul inside her, every piece of ink written on her notebook is always emotional, and/or wholesome, and she has a very good goal, and wanted to speak more

Hitohito Tadano, a very decent character who doesn't deserve the "uselessness" as everyone would call him, he even has his times where HE stands out, and chuunibyou backstory gave me a laugh, I wish the other characters aren't mercilessly harsh against him.

Najimi Osana (i will call Najimi a "he" because that's what Hitohito calls Najimi), a goofy, fun, and enjoyable, he's always pretty funny and his jokes are cool, if he didn't pressure Shouko on making conversations, then i would like him even more.

The rest though? not so much

the first candidate of my unchained hatred is Ren Yamai, i HATE her, she is garbage, she is absolutely unsatisfactory, unwelcome, dreadful, awful, basically every synonym of "Bad" is tossed through her, she is THAT TERRIBLE. I hate every single second of her existence, if I was a writer, and some of the writers on the board said to feature this character, i would IMMEDIATELY remove her. She seems to think that Tadano is a useless human being that is good-for-nothing, WHEN HE ISN'T!, Hitohito LEARNED from the mistakes he had on the 2nd year in middle school.

Omoharu Nakanaka and Himiko Agari, not NEARLY as terrible as Ren Yamai, but does have their moments where they completely suck, especially with Omoharu, her chuunibyou personality could get A TAD BIT annoying sometimes.

The story is, fine, i guess:

admittedly though, i really love the story of the first 3 episodes of the show, very beautifully written, that HAS to be ruined by the fourth one.

Overall, it's a great spectacle, held back by ABSOLUTE GARBAGE character writing and, in some points, even the story and comedy.
