Shallow story goes to nowhere with one dimensional characters and unfounded "redemption arc"
I'm angry. I'm so angry that I have to write a review...
How is it said? The path you walk is more important than the destination it leads to? Well, it was a long and boring path then leading to nowhere.
Our main characters are two girls and a boy and two teachers, a woman and a man. Nobody is really good or bad, but some of them are definitely nasty. In the beginning some of the characters are going out with each other, getting into bed with each other, with or without loving each other, which is not an issue at the first place, and it gets you involved pretty fast, so it's okay.
Problem arrives when you realize that their story goes nowhere actually. There is an - intended to be -, very dramatic scene - in the rain, of course -, between the two of them, which is really a now or never moment and which could have actually lead to a nice ending. But no. Those folks just disappear for the next few episodes and then comes a "redemption arc" between another two hardly introduced characters, out of nowhere, about unconditional love, which can save even the lost souls. Hm, okay... excuse me, what was that now?!
Anyway, it could have worked, if that "redemption" had been properly setup and prepared in the first place, but unfortunatelly, it was not the case. It just happened, boom. (I have doubts, that it would work at all in real life...) The two involved hardly got any screen time before, we definitely know close to nothing about one of them. We are told, though, that they went out several times, but even when we saw such occasions at all, it was like watching two strangers interacting, they hardly had anything common or lead a proper talk about anything (and anyway, show it, don't tell).
For the last episode then everybody returns, but don't expect too much. None of the threads are closed properly. (Will there be a Season 2? Maybe I should check the manga, but I've lost my interest.)
It felt shallow. Almost felt like as the author could not write properly or maybe it was a weekly manga with no clear directions. Or the script was written by a middle schooler. Or I don't know... The dialogs were shallow, the relationships were shallow, at least what was shown, and then an open ending... I could not like it, it felt like wasted time. NTR: Netsuzou Trap did more in less than half of that time.
(The English dub, the opening and the ending, the art were all great, also the characters were likeable. It's not bad for wasting time. Does this show has anything common with Domestic Girlfriend? The art looked similar and the script was equally weak with some catchy scenes. I feel sorry about this.)
