Time plays against the main characters and apparently against the director. In this anime, I felt the full range of emotions. It all starts out as a very good comedy. With the speed of the fighter, the main characters intersect and immediately I became interested, childish and impatient Hina and responsive and good-natured It is different perceive the world and making up a great duet, even individually they turned out to be worthy characters. One unusual comedy situation was replaced by another, there was even a place for parody of a couple of well-known American blockbusters of the 90s. I just wanted to watch the characters spend this summer as a comedy in the genre of everyday life, because everything in this regard was exemplary.
However, in the middle, after a couple of hints, there was a sharp retreat into more global problems. And this transition came out extremely clumsy. Characters who looked organic in the comedy genre suddenly faced problems that I could not imagine. And then I went into the mode of "All clear, we disperse" because it all looked too foreign.
And finally, the final three episodes. The problem that the authors wanted to raise became completely clear, the third time I changed my mind about this anime and everything went much further than I expected. The final was very strong and emotional. I was able to evaluate this creation as a drama, but at the same time I was saddened by the missed opportunities to properly prepare the ground for such changes. The minimum that would need to be corrected is how all the surrounding characters, including the main character, react to such a serious development of events. This remained a simple and good-natured guy and all the friends and acquaintances of which are not few accumulates at the end around the main characters behave as if nothing really terrible happened. This is obviously not the case.
As a result, anime with great potential as a dramatic work and as a comedy. However, after going the difficult way, they decided to glue everything together and broke a lot along the way on both sides. But I would nevertheless advise to get acquainted with it, give this creation a chance, it is likely that it will hook you with something in its own way.
