Starts off slow and at the beginning you feel as if you've walked into the middle of something. But then you're "caught up" and can follow along. I think the themes and feelings are extremely relatable for anyone - whether young or old. Binged watched it on Amazon Prime as I simply couldn't stop watching. I'm extremely happy that I did! My only disappointment was that there are only 12 episodes as I want to continue to see what happens to the characters. I'm another old dude that is finding myself drawn to not just your action-packed anime's but to this genre as well. And for me, this one didn't let me down.

Maybe this show is amazing after the first episode, I don't care. This show starts off so unbelievably boring I don't see how you could get past episode one. The character designs are incredibly ugly for the most part, and the music seems to be designed to be as boring as possible. Just thinking about this show makes me bored. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you can somehow get past the abysmal first episode, and the rest are somehow watchable.

I thought this anime was very good, the characters Akira and Mr Kondo were just so very sweet together. You know, regardless of their ages, it wouldn't matter to me if they were dating because you can tell they were so in love with each other but couldn't show it. I mean age is just only a black and white number at the end of the day, honestly! I really wish they were confident enough to show the world they love each other to bits, but just are too afraid of what society thinks about them! Definately recommending this anime to watch if you want to waste your time on being less bored or are a fan of romantic anime!

I stumbled upon this one in amazon Prime and can't recommend it enough. The topic of loving someone older/younger than you is a sensitive subject, but most of us have had crushes on teachers or bosses at one point or another so its easily relatable for most of us I would say. It is handled with innocence and well just perfectly (this isn't a trashy anime). The underlying theme is of dreams and what happens when we give up on them (I won't go into details of those hopes/dreams to be spoiler free). Akira and Mr. Kondo are both dealing with loss of hope or loss of dreams. Mr. Kondo is awakened to possibilities (brought back to life you might say) by Akira's reminding him of what it felt like to be young. The romance/friendship is sweet and innocent and just makes me laugh. The writing and voice acting are just out of this world good! Maybe its just the time in my life and this is the story I needed to experience right now (a small theme in one of the episodes btw) but I haven't enjoyed an anime quite this much in a while. I'm currently 10 episodes in and absolutely enthralled! Highly recommended for anyone who has had dreams that weren't realized or love that you just couldn't get out of your head. Oh the music and art are amazing and really do amazing things to my heart strings. Try it! Yes I'm an older dude who likes anime. Sue me. Japanese anime culture is just fascinating to me.
