A cute premise, that had so so much promise. If it wasn't for two things:
1. A terrible and completely unfulfilling ending. I mean, how much more artsy can you try to be? I'm talking episode 12, the real ending. Not episode 13 (Re:Wind) a throw-away waste of 23 minutes.
2. The acting in this show is so bad, I can't even begin to explain how bad it is. I know folks like Japanese schoolgirls for some reason. Sure, some of them are cute, I'll admit it. But casting real schoolgirls (I assume they are) was a BIG mistake. These girls can't act their way out of a wet paper bag. Netflix, when they bought the rights to this show, should have said, "great premise, now let's reshoot the whole thing with actual actresses". Facial expressions, tone of voice, delivery, mannerisms, etc., they screw them all up. One saving grace is the worst 4 offenders out of the whole bunch of horrid actresses are removed early on. But that is small consolation, as your ears will still bleed and your eyes will roll so much, they'll roll right out of your head.
Not good. Big disappointment.
