What I Liked: The layered, mixed-media feel to the animation and backgrounds. The Crystalisation Syndrome, which acts as a brilliant visual metaphor for Tamari's social anxiety. The character designs are cute but simplistic. The (admittedly) barely-there soundtrack.

What I Didn't: Characters change model frequently and it can be off-putting to some viewers. Pacing could've been better. Mr. Onihara's issues with betrayal (which don't come to light until the second half) make him come off as just being a possessive blockhead.  The plot is reletively shallow and corny, and suffers from an unsatisfying Everything Resolves Itself ending.

Final Verdict: Visually stunning but lacking in the plot department, this third installment of the KonoDan series is a simple story about a boy, his illness and his teacher. While it does a decent job of depicting social anxiety (and is quite pretty to boot), ultimately it's nothing more than an inoffensive by-the-numbers shounen-ai tale that you've likely seen many times before.
