It suffers from a lot of anime problems of the noughties. Or rather, from their most typical problem - it feels prolonged, although in fact there is not much superfluous. Well, the second problem I would call the not particularly interesting main character. On the one hand, this is a character that develops over the course of the season, but on the other hand, you only begin to understand this in the last episodes.
In general, this is not the worst anime, and in moments of everyday life, the title looks very easy and fun, but when the plot part and the drama with battles begin, the anime becomes very tedious. Perhaps it's because it wasn't so easy to make action scenes before, but nevertheless they don't look so interesting. But the picture is pretty good almost everywhere, and many modern titles look easy, although they aren't always rendered as well.
What can't be taken away is the excellent soundtrack. The opening is fun, but it gets boring quickly, but the ending is beautiful, I listened to it completely in every episode and never missed it.
Well, if you decide to watch this anime as part of watching the entire Shaft, then don't expect to see the same thing as in the Series of Stories, Madoka or Ef (Have many people watched it at all?). Until about 2009, Shaft was made in the same style as most anime studios. Although some elements were already present then.
The plot was clearly intended to be extended because a lot of things remain unexplored.
Should I watch it in general or not? If you set a goal to watch the entire shaft, then you can, but if you're just looking for an interesting comedy or action movie, then I'm not sure if this is the right title. I advise you to watch another title, and come back to this one when you realize that nothing else comes to mind.
