Apologies for the stream of consciousness approach here; but here goes!

Pacing was brisk; few spots where it felt like too fast but didn't completely outrun me, good overall
The production itself felt really good at least on first glance, loved the lighting and shadows used in scenes, the subtle expressions were great; someone remind me to look at Sakugabooru later... :TamakoPray:

Character development of our trio was great, although not perfect - mainly that Kimi's (implied) crush for Rui didn't get explored as much as I would've thought at the start, and Rui didn't feel as fleshed out as Kimi and Totsuko; but I still love all three (plus Rui kinda me AND kinda cute ngl)

Sister Hiyoshiko's backstory came out of left field, but I thought her involvement was genuinely pretty good; the Catholic school element (including through Sister Hiyoshiko) felt.....MUCH more welcoming and empathetic. Legit kinda wished my own school was like that 🥲

I liked the soundtrack, both the incidental and the diegetic music; you can tell Kensuke Ushio is really getting into his element, with Rui getting good second-hand instruments including the Theremin and utilizing electronic elements.

Coincidentally, I watched the dub; it's pretty good, were a few times where Totsuko's dubbing felt a little awkward (maybe ADR?), but other than that everyone felt really good, I felt like all the VAs conveyed the characters nicely - works well enough if you (or your friends) prefer dubs over subs.
