This show is a flawed gem. It has a lot of things going for it, but suffers from "lifetime movie of the week" disease.

I think if they had an additional two cours to flesh out the characters, develop the relationships (like Yui and Hinata), and reveal their inner angst more slowly it would be possible to be a good show. If they had a bit more subtlety.

Although actually I think the move of making a Yui a very annoying Genki girl and then revealing her past as a paraplegic... very effective.
