Just finished watching this in the week. I enjoyed it immensely; it won't be for everyone, specifically those who don't enjoy "motion manga" type shows, since there's barley any animation, which somehow works in the shows favor at times due to how some of the jokes come across.

Glad everything got wrapped up in the 12-episode run, far too many romance shows seem to drag things out to make you read the source.

I really enjoyed the show! It had probably the best use of the "motion comic" style for an anime I'd really seen and the oddball nature of the cast and how hard the seiyuu committed to the performances just really sold it.

I even appreciated getting a solid side-ship!

Also, the ED is better than the OP.

I rather loved this little thing as I decided that if it was genuinely animated, it would be one of my favorite releases of the past several years.

It has some of the best vocal work I've heard in years from everyone and the soundtrack doesn't lag far behind. The direction is fantastic and it even uses is "motion manga" style to hyper realize certain characters that just wouldn't work as well animated.

I watched it due to the review and I really liked it! I feel like this could have been a huge hit if it was actually animated.
I wonder if they decided to just use the budget on seiyuu since I think I recognized every single character voice.
I'll definetely check out the manga if I get a chance because I really loved the characters and I want to see more of them. Especially Kiriyama. I just want good things for Kiriyama.
Also Yamakado was hot.
