I have a hard time figuring out what to make of this anime. It started out as being very high in quality, cute, and generally wholesome. The quality then dropped after ep3 and they started using these really bizarre and oddly perverted eyecatchs at the ends of the eps. As if that wasn't enough they started sticking in some really random bits of awkward fanservice, like out of nowhere focusing in on character's panties while they talk, but it's so seldom done you can't call this a fan service style anime, and instead it simply feels weird. One amusing aspect of this anime is the premises is about creating a stage group and acting, yet that gets sidelined and basically used as an excuse to show the characters in cute outfits. I mean don't get me wrong, I love that sort of thing, but the way it's done here makes me almost feel guilty about it. The anime feels very shallow, deceptive, and I almost want to say exploitative in how it handles this. It reminds me of those old 80s movies that have bare bones plots to justify the director being a massive pervert with the actresses mixed with mindless action/explosions for the brain dead fans, But with cute girls doing cute or semi-lewd things instead.
I don't know how to properly describe it other than to say this anime is just really strange. It's like buying a strawberry shortcake from an adorable little shop run by nice friendly cute girls. Maybe you don't even want cake buy just buy it there anyway to see those girls in their cute uniforms or whatever. But then you take that cake home, look at it, see something that isn't right, and start to realize that's semen you're looking at on one of the strawberry. You start to wonder if it is then how did it get there, why it's there, if the girls at the shop are trying to tell you something, and if you should toss the cake out because of it and never go to that shop again.
