>>33668>I found the weakest aspect of the anime to be the girls' relationshipThat's weird to read, because I found that their relationship, while formulaic, was still done well enough to carry the weight of the show (along with Chisato's voice acting and the action fanservice).
But I must admit that, if it was done well, it was only barely so. More time spent showing why Takina chose to open herself could have helped, for example. The director aknowledged this - in an interview, he spoke of how they filled the OP and ED sequences with glimpses of the girls' daily lives together in hopes of making up for the lack of it in the show proper.
Incidentally, there's a light novel coming up that focuses on their relationship and which I'm mildly excited for, even if I shouldn't, because it's going to be cheap yuri pandering written by a no-one who wasn't part of the production staff, after all, isn't it?
At any rate, anon, props to you for moving on without falling for the sunken costs fallacy.
