I was really excited about the idea in this but this anime was a disappointment.
I was wrong expecting a chill feel-good anime. It's almost infuriating to watch at times (eg. ep04).
The main idea is that the dialogue is just trivial everyday chatter of two friends. But none of it is funny, relatable, particularly intelligent or interesting in any way
(note: I've been a girl of that age too and had thousands of convos in a similar setting with different friend groups throughout the years so this is not just random hate). Conversations are clearly supposed to be the carrying theme in this anime, but it literally feels like a 40 y.o. man IMAGINING this is what young girls talk about.
Topic-wise as a watcher I'm generally interested in literally EVERYTHING and still, it's so mind-numbingly boring cause they delve too deep into some topics like we're sitting at school, and don't delve deep enough into some topics. There's some sort of imbalance in their speech and their whole relationship which doesnt feel natural at all. This doesnt feel like good friends having a chat after school, tbh.
Their fight and the reason for it in ep05 is beyond dumb, and I have never seen a girl/woman of any age act like that. It's an embarrassingly bad attempt at portraying teenage drama. There's some improvement in the realism of the conversations towards the end, and their relationship deepens, but no other noticeable character development.
Some of the jokes are trying so hard to be funny it's almost cringe to watch as none of them are.
The black-haired girl is unbelievably obnoxious and starts the conversations, which are pretty much just her rambling about uninteresting thoughts that rarely lead anywhere meaningful. Ironic, because she complains that "normie" conversations about cooking and whatnot are boring, even tho they are on par with hers. She rly shined through when she minimized her friends random SA by saying it's just a proof of her feminine appeal (implying it's good). I physically get the ick sometimes when she talks.
She's also the type to bring others down in effort to try to raise herself out from the mediocrity. She happily talks about herself giving attitude to a café employee. She's rude, complains all the time and about the stupidest things. Doesnt even understand how calories work yet acts like she knows about the topic. It's not cute or funny.
Her crab bucket mentality and negging together make it just rly hard to watch, since it's mostly just her rambling.
The blonde one is mostly there just to react to the other one's ramblings and represents 'the normal one'. She shared some family drama in one ep, which brought some intimacy to the conversation, but the family drama was never brought back as a plot point.
It's hard to find good things about this anime because the main carrying points are characters and their conversations, and neither were entertaining to watch. I really tried to like this but almost gave up on 3rd episode.
I would rather go lie in a ditch than go chat with the one who wrote the dialogue in this. Animation style is good-looking though.
I'm glad this one doesnt have any more episodes.
