It is a good fresh story but I am disappointed with the ending. I think the writer tried to add drama in the last few episodes and it backfired. Just to add some "spice" in the ending the effect of the first 7 eps was undone. I was hoping for a fresh kind of ending. The acting was nice. The character of Soramame is refreshing and bright. The Oto character though should have had a little dynamic side to it. It was a little too dull, though Soramame character compensated for the dullness of Oto. The career side of Soramame seemed a little far-fetched as well. A struggle makes the character more relatable and increases its impact on audiences.
