    Terrible Animation!

    The dialogue is completely ridiculous. Moreover, the animation leaves one wondering-what exactly is going on? Sparkles, rainbows, and bubbles are everywhere! I found it hard to decide whether I was watching a computer screensaver or an anime! The female character is, to put it mildly, quite annoying. The facial expressions seem overly clichéd. In fact, the entire anime feels quite clichéd. I can't believe this is a 2025 release.
