Too much, but art
A first episode absolutely great. The disclaimers at start and end of the episode make it even more funny and inciting to think!Also the following few episodes are great. Though I think they overdo it and at some point the writer was clueless aht to do next.
Well, this confusion is typical for very good art, so I do not complain about it. Every little detail is well sought. The acting is also great. Yet thereis os much input that it becomes overwhelming, After the half of the episodes I found myself struggling to follow it. In my opinion there were too many allusions to TV shows and alike from the older time.
In a word, it is worth starting, but after seeing 50% of the episodes you can simply stop watching it, if you don't want to waste your time.

Maybe watchable
The cinematography is excellent: well directed, great camera work, appropriate acting. The atmosphere is quite dark and the story is in general well written. Actual problems of Japanese society are discussed, yet, as expected, only at a very superficial level. Inevitable the story have several moments where it is very disappointing and too naive. Also finding enough good actors on the same age to fill up a class is impossible. Hence, the drama suffers from the usual diseases of a high school show.The language is very nice, in general easy to follow, hence I assume, it is a series that is ideal to watch and discuss in a Japanese class.Was this review helpful to you?
Terrible
Blinded by the MDL ratings I started watching this series. The female lead is beautiful and can really act, the camera work is very good and all views are very carefully chosen and beautiful, the music is excellent. Everything else is aboelutelly terrible: a male lead looking and behaving like a mid-schooler, fully absence of writing, zero perspecive in direction.The feeling is of a long MV, very long 32 times 45 minutes?! Please give me the invested time back!
Anyway, it's my fault to le tme guided by random ratings and fan reviews...
