FA was a pretty mediocre show on its own, and a torture to watch from the point of someone who had read the VN (and appreciated it greatly) previously.

In comparison Mashifoni is a pure joy to follow, has reasonably good production values, and actually does justice to the source material.

Spoiler for Comparison to Fortune Arterial:

See, I have no idea how the romance wasn't resolved, at least when I watched it. The ending wasn't the most conclusive or sensical but I don't remember having doubts about who liked who. I'm not even trying to compare the shows on merit, I simply did not find that show any less clear than this one in terms of who picked who. But maybe I missed something in Arterial that made it vague?
