The story revolves around a boy and a girl in the drama club. And yes, I don't know their names because I don't care enough. The whole series is basically her practicing her acting skills with him, using her different characters like demure-chan, spoiled-chan, and many others. The main problem with this series relies on how the progression is done. She actually starts liking him first, and the whole series is her flirting with him by using her acting skills, as a front to get away with it. The problem though, Is how incredibly DENSE the MC is.
There are so many great opportunities for progression in this, but they all go to shit because every time she flirts with him, he says something like: "Stop demure chan!!!" making it feel like he forgets she's a real person. I get that that's the whole point of the series, but it's giving us NO progression.
This is one of the most frustratingly "bitchless" and ugly main leads I've ever seen. It actually amazes me how they could make the main point of the story be such an eyesore that it makes you want to turn your brightness down. This series could've had a great deep message about someone not really knowing who they are, and finding someone who discovers it, but instead, it's a dumbass (and very ugly) guy feeding into this repetitive delusion of her fake personas. You can get mad at me and say I don't understand the point of the story, but there are some things that should never be created.
I've heard people say that he has more personality in the manga, but I find it hard to believe that this pile of shit is even saveable. The whole series is filler, where the same events happen over and over again while you feast your eyes on wasted animator salary and horribly cringe "flirting". I keep coming back to the ML, but it's also important to note that the FL is also a dumb sack of shit that doesn't realize he also likes her and thinks that his blushing and embarrassment is because of her personas and not him actually being into her. (what a crazy idea)
I usually get super excited when two characters confess "early" on in the series at 8 episodes because I've seen this drag play out so many times, but at this point, they could get married and I'd still be mad. Like can we not cut away on the kiss and let me enjoy at least one thing in this show?
Overall, this anime is a complete waste of spending, time, and energy, and I'm ashamed that I even got through 8 episodes before dropping it.
This anime was really bad, and I know that I was a little harsh, but if you liked the show and enjoyed watching it, I'm not here to rob you of your happiness. I recently realized something, and its that no matter how bad I think something is, if someone else enjoyed it, that's all that matters.
