I had similar feelings. The moe moments and Rie Takahashi’s VA work were definitely the highlights of the show for me. When the show tried to get serious, it never really connected for me and the back half of the season felt like a big drop compared to the first. I kind of doubt this is getting a season 2, but there are plenty of worse shows that have. At least it gave us a great OP and ED as well as some great Rie Takahashi shouting moments.
