Actually quite good for a slice of life anime. Lots of metaphors, lots of life lessons, lots of great content. Characters are a bit cold, but I believe that was done on purpose to make you look at the situations/arcs more objectively and ponder the meaning of everything. The plot is cool, but because its a slice of life anime it feels a bit slow, naturally. CloverWorks kills the animation, as always. Theme song is actually really good, and even though it's a very upbeat song, it matches the monotone-like mood of the anime quite well in the grand scheme of the show. Characters are great, and I can totally see with Mai won "Best Girl" at the recent CrunchyRoll Anime Awards.
