So.... Yeah, it was okay, great animations, honestly. Beautiful drawing style, and GREAT soundtrack. The animations were all really smooth, pretty, and out-of-the-world. The background and scenery - oh my word- yeah. The characters all had stunning designs, and they were all unique. The soundtrack knew when to blast it in your ears, didn't it? Yeah, it did. Some of their songs were stunningly sad. If they had placed it during Neji's death scene, I would've cried buckets.
Yeah, there it is. IF.
IF they had put it in Anohana, I would have loved it. IF they had put it in Naruto, I would have loved it. IF they had put it in Haikyu!! Or MHA (Not that they need it) I would've loved it. IF, IF, IF. Yeah, that one word that makes all the difference. IF.
Yeah, sorry, Nagi-Asu, but animations and music isn't going to cover up your horrible characters, 24 episodes of whining and crying, and your horrible, horrifying, cringey drama/love (whatever shape it's supposed to be)
The MC is borderline abusive, doesn't care about Manaka (Not that I do, honestly), and only worried about himself and his feelings. Sure, sure, yeah, they're kids. Kids have crushes. Yah, you don't need to be borderline abusive about it. (And why the heck would you like that whiny brat?)
Tsumugu just sucks. He's the epitome of the "cool, calm, 'I don't care about a thing'" trope. I mean, what the heck? The day I admit he's a good character is the day I admit Sasuke's character development was awesome. And Manaka. WHAT THE HECK YOU LIKE HIM. I really don't know what's going on in these people's heads.
Chisaki does zero justice to Kai (MHA). And she's a protagonist, for Pete's sake. I'm actually admitting that I like an antagonist better than a protagonist. (Okay, fine, Overhaul was a pretty cool bad guy) And oh my word, you ALSO like Hikari? What is wrong with you? So you'd rather date a borderline abusive guy than a perfectly good - no much more than good - kind guy who's ALWAYS BEEN BY YOUR SIDE???
Kaname, I have no complaints on his personality (I love him, actually) but I do have to do a double check on his mind. Okay. So the near-perfect, selfless, kind guy is in love with the bratty girl who doesn't give a second thought to his feelings. Wow. Wow. Wow. Please, Kaname, go find a better girl.
Honestly, the only character I understand in this show (I love Miyu's character but I don't understand what she ever saw in Hikari) is Sayu. If a guy like Kaname came around, I'd totally fall for him. Proves to show how dense they characters are if the only understandable one is a literal nine-year-old.
So yeah. My conclusion? Waste of a great music studio.
