I haven't seen this anime but i HAVE listened to the OP a million times bc Ai Furihata is my oshi. Her entire discography is 80s citypop inspired music and I adore it. And the music video for Hohoemi no Oto is literally just a recreation of an 80s era daytime cooking show where they make curry for some reason? She's all about vibes, love it

This is a series I was really excited for and then never ended up finishing, and the way that it can't be talked about without comparing it to older series I haven't seen doesn't really bode well for me ever going back to it.

Enjoyed the show well enough until the last two episodes, where it really felt like they crashed up against a wall and realized they had no time left to resolve any of the lingering plot threads. At least Aoi came out relatively unscathed and her friendship with the not-dog was cute.

I thought this was a really cute and fun show. Very retro but with great production values. What If Maison Ikkoku combined with Urusei Yatsura for a modern sci-fi romance with an all-star cast? And I think they utterly nailed it with a likeable cast, great character designs, and a solid story.

I think the plot definitely escalated quickly in the last two episodes though I don't think there was anything that wasn't at least somewhat set up in an earlier episode.

Though you did kind of feel it when Mira confesses to and kisses Miyasaka in a matter of seconds and they go on to fend off an alien invasion in a giant Mecha. But sometimes anime just rolls like that.
