I don't like it and I feel guilty not liking it.
I'm a sucker for funny, and if a story is funny, it can be horror, comedy, action, or hentai, I'm immediately hooked, quality be damned.
There IS humor in this series, but it's mostly romance. I'm tuning out.
Also, when I watch the English dub, all the characters seem great, but Lili seems out of place with a British accent. I tried watching in the original Japanese, Lili became fine, but now all these British characters speak Japanese. It bothers me.
In an ideal world (yeah, as if). the series should have everyone from the British dub speaking, with Lili played by a Japanese actor who is decent in English, but she doesn't have that British accent.
Going over my review, I think I'm nitpicking so yeah, this opinion of mine isn't very valid I think, though it's really how I feel.

I knew the animation looked familiar, and a quick research confirmed this is from the same director of B: the Beginning, which also explains the inherent character charm of this series that totally made up for the romantic narrative predictabilities. It's cool to see another Kazuto Nakazawa title and I did find this enjoyable--but a part of me still wishes for confirmation if a Season 3 of B: The Beginning is really dead or not.

It's not often that I find someone else who knows about B. Succession frustrates me so much because it's a sequel to an amazing little known series but it's essentially incomplete. Having only 6 episodes and ending in the middle of the story killed it for me, there could easily be 6 more and it's been 5 years.

I started watched Prism Rondo myself and am thoroughly enjoying it so far.

This anime is so beautiful and chapter 18 and 19 are masterpiece. Is very sad that releasing all episodes Netflix is burying an incredible anime.

I agree with this. This series was dubbed in the UK (which is cool, and something I'd like to see more of), which explains why Lili sounds British like everyone else. But she's not supposed to sound British, because she's a foreign exchange student, right? Even giving her an American accent would communicate to the audience that she's a foreigner. British actors are pretty decent at American accents, right?
