I wasn’t sure whether to give this a shot or wait for others’ first impressions first, but decided to go ahead, put off sleeping a little bit, and give this one a shot. So far, it has pretty much met expectations based on the synopsis. It isn’t really treading any new ground that other series have tread on countless times before.

I think I might drop this one going forward unless it changes things up a bit and instead will pick up the manga. I tend to like series like this (Kubo, Shikimori, Forgot Her Glasses, etc.) in manga form, but haven’t really enjoyed their anime adaptations as much. I probably didn’t help this series’ chances much by watching it right before sleeping, because I had trouble staying awake through this whole episode.
