Spoiler free review. 

I am super glad that i watched this anime. This anime had the right amount of romcom.The characters bloomed beautifully and it was just heartwarming to watch it. This anime is unique since the characters age more than twenty (some even in their thirties), but aimed for the teenagers and it somehow worked. It was just so adorable to watch, you would go "awww" as if you saw a baby reaching its hands to you. But this anime, had a few problems. Many things were unanswered, roles of some characters were not known. This anime ended in way, as if it was a teaser for season 2. I am happy for the fact that they ended this in 10 episodes (I didn't want anything to mess up after what happened in the last episode <3 ), but honestly, i wanted more.

Story (9/10)
The story started off perfectly and grew in a perfect manner. No large steps, not tiny steps were taken. Some anime use misunderstandings, cliché love to progress the story, but this one used godly coincidences to get the story going.

Animation (7/10)
The animation was not commendable. It was a little shabby, but they used it to make the chibis more cute. The eyeless, blushing chibis were so cute and adorable (oh god, now i remember eyeless natsuki ;-; ). The animation was not that good, but I'm glad that it didn't interrupt my watch.

Sound (7.5/10)
The OP and ED were really great, catchy and unskippable. The BGMs were really well done, and it set off a nice mood for the anime. The voices well matched the characters, and my favourite one was Sakurai-san's.

Characters (8/10)
Like i said, this anime used godly coincidences to sew the characters together. You can see them coming. It was not that bad since they were atoned by the courageous actions of the characters to get together. The characters grew beautifully and will make you attach with them so much in such a little time. All the characters in the anime are more than 20 years old, and this fact makes the show really unique.

Overall (7.8)
I still remember how eager i was to watch this anime every Friday (the episodes were aired on fridays), and i would think about it in the school, and talk with my friend about it.
You might need a little patience to reach the romance part, but its worth it. If you are here to see some romcom and cute moments, you are more than welcome. But, if you are here to see why Morimori-chan ended up a neet, or the "recovery" of her, then you'll need to know that those are exactly the unanswered questions i was talking about.

9/10 story
7/10 animation
7.5/10 sound
8/10 characters
7.8/10 overall

I enjoyed your review. I also loved this anime. As a 30+ yo man, I feel in love with Morioka-san. He personality felt real and unadultered. Sakurai-san also felt very real to me as well. I loved the hesitation they both felt. I really can't put in any other words because you described this anime so well.
