Our whole life is a continuous choice. The choice can be both global and not so much (in the flesh, what to eat for dinner or which scarf to tie around your neck), the Frenchman Sartre wrote about this in his work "Existentialism is humanism", which, like all the works of the philosopher, is permeated with this leitmotif. It is the question of choice that is central to this anime.
The series with the plot of the so-called "infinite eight" can be presented in completely different ways, and the creators of "Yojonhan shinwa taikei" managed to cope with this task as well as possible. I did not find it intrusive (as it was in my equally favorite story about Haruhi Suzumiya), and the drawing certainly did not cause rejection (it is in the graphics that there is all that charm and individuality, and not like that "faceless" drawing in the usual beaded harems with bunny boys identical from the face). Each character is unique, funny, with his own character and "cockroaches" in his head. Probably, the very presentation of the anime in its manner somewhat resembled Shaft's work, and the protagonist seemed literally the "son" of Nozomu Itoshiki (known from the anime Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei). I was infinitely glad to hear Asian Kung-Fu Generation in the opening, and the ending turned out to be no less pleasant to the ear.
Of course, not everyone is able to appreciate such a thing as "Yojohan shinwa taikei", but at least I'm glad that I was able to get into this story, perhaps because, although I was able to see myself in a male character.

That's it. I was looking for a random series on male with the tag romance, but I came across a brain-blowing philosophy. In general, I didn't get what I expected at all. xD

The artificially accelerated speech of the narrator finishes off at first. Fortunately, there are not so many episodes, you can master them to make a complete picture of the series. The characters reveal themselves quite interestingly, from different points of view. However, this is the only highlight. I can't say that I recommend it to everyone, as an amateur.

even if I didn't like the theme of elections and different scenarios (and I really do), and I didn't get into the characters (and I did), I would only watch for the sake of drawing and great animation solutions.
The voice acting is very top-notch, at first you don't have time to read the subs, but then you get involved and start loving her.
