It is a good anime but  it is 98% slice of life and 2% actual dilemma, so if you want to see the real life this is a good anime for you but if you are really looking for something pertaculars like romance are something you wood better look somewhere else.

Story (or stories): Well, in the game this was based on, you interact and try to get into virtual relationships with a lot of girls. In the show, you just watch them interact and live their daily lives in and out of school. Each episode focuses on a different group of girls (or the same ones from before) and a small problem they got to overcome, whether it be trying to lose some weight, run a cafeteria when the original staff got stranded during vacation, or just trying to find kittens a new home (aw).

There's no fighting bad guys, no events that are card-based, or even any romance for that matter. Don't be fooled by what the sites tell you to believe, despite the game this show is based off of having romance, this show is 98% slice of life and 2% actual dilemma, which I'll get into in a sec.

(^Here's your only yuri-like scene in the whole show by the way)

Now to be fair, the slice of life aspects are pretty good. The concepts have been done to death in tons of other shows before like the diet episode and for the most part don't add much in them aside from some funny lines (like the part where they lampshade why people are so obsessed with dieting for example), but the character interactions and well thought out morals that I actually find relatable (yes there are those) do (for the most part) make up for it, this is a slice of life after all.

Some of the clichés I really can't stand and are present here, like having a character do something they've never really done before and is not allowed to get a say in it, and also having a character about to move because of their parents and the others try their hardest to get her to stay. I'm sorry if you like the clichés but me personally cannot stand them. It's not handled the worst here, (I've seen Hanayamata, as much as I like that show, has done it horribly) but it could have been better. The pacing is also pretty slow for a slice of life, scenes can drag on for way too long and scenes cut quickly, they do try to add some character development during all this so at least they're trying.

Wow, this review is getting long already and I've only just talked about the story!

Animation: The character designs are all very different, colorful, and interesting. Sure they're not original but I give credit for giving every single character a different design, and there are SO MANY CHARACTERS IN THIS SHOW! There are about more than 30 main characters in this! It's quite obvious that they had to put the characters in groups in different episodes and tried to give them all the same amount of screentime, and while they didn't succeed and gave some too much time, they came pretty close.

They also gave some full fledged designs to the background characters and even made them move and interact. I know I shouldn't make a big deal about it, but normally shows like these would make the background characters look the same, have them gray blobs, or don't show them at all so I give some major props to the animators or whoever put all the effort into the designs.

(^This isn't even half of the cast :O)

The background designs are really pretty, though there isn't much scenes in them. The animation is pretty decent too, the lip syncing is perfect, and the movement animation (aside from the rhythmic dancing scenes, which there isn't much of and is pretty choppy) is fluid.

Sound: The OP and ED are both terrible. The singer can't sing, the lyrics are crap, and the visuals in them both are only ok at best. The OSTs are slightly better, but its still not that good a song. As for the voice acting, most of the characters sound passable. The voices were fine, they match the characters... looks pretty well. The only voice I had trouble with at first was Chloe. Her French accent I could not stand at first but the more I hear it, the more I found it to be bad in a hilarious manner, though some people might find this offensive.

Characters: This... is going to be hard to talk about, especially since, like I said, there are over 30 characters in this show. Well to be it bluntly, since they're only in certain episodes, they don't get much personality outside of there usual character trait and can be perfectly described in a single sentence or word. There is some sides of character development in some of the characters, though chances are you might not notice if you don't pay attention at all.

So yeah, everyone in this is pretty likeable, and they may not have much personality outside of there single traits, liking to a hobby to theirs, or both, the interactions and day-to-day lives more than make up for it and make it for the most part entertaining.

Enjoyment: I for the most part thoroughly enjoyed the show, I really loved the interactions from the characters and there day to day lives, the pacing can be incredibly slow and at times the show can be boring, but it doesn't happen much for you to notice or care... unless you hate these types of shows, and if that's the case... what did you expect from this show? A yuri? Oh wait...

Pros: Flawless character cast, interesting and unique artwork, fluid animation, wonderful character interactions, surprisingly deep moments from their morals, passable voicework.

Cons: Horrible music, lame clichés, some places can be boring, show lies to you in thinking its a yuri.

Overall: I liked this show, I mean sure it wasn't what I was fully expecting, but I'm still very glad that I watched it once. Slice of life and moe fans will eat this up and love it, everyone else though (especially those looking for yuri) can look elsewhere.

Thanks for reading my 70th review~

About The Characters
this is the best things in the anime the characters are all loveable this is the things let you stay in the series because they are too moe and i talk about everygirl in there , anyway lets talk about  some characters 1 by 1 but some characters are not gonna be here they are too much so im gonna talk about some characters but i very love everyone in there xD

Chloe Lemaire / this is a french girl yeah but she make some mistake in japanese i like his voice this is a little bit special and when she talk french im proud to understand what she said without sub LOOl and she is very funny sometimes because of things she dont understand

About The Enjoyment
this is a little bit enjoyablebut not too much some people gonna just drop the anime because of the 100% Slice of Life this little things can bother too much people and after this they fall asleep or they want to do a others things some comedy are here too but not too much but i laugh xD.. i think my favorite episode is the 11 because of the misunderstanding this is really stupid LOOOl i like that

i can't really recommand the anime i don't say is bad but this is too much Slice of Life and a real story appear just in the episode 11-12 .. but ! if you normally watch some 100% Slice Of Life this anime can be good for you , i have watch completely and i like a little bit the anime but i dont jump on my chair.... so this is a little bad something is missing.. and for your good ,and i repeat , 
IF YOU DON'T LIKE SLICE OF LIFE NORMALLY , THIS ANIME IS REALLY REALLY BUT REALLY NOT FOR YOU ! YOU JUST GONNA DIE AND WASTE YOUR TIME !
