This show was both fun and embarrassing to watch. Considering that KyoAni rewrote the whole thing and that the source was supposedly not that good, they did very well. Art and animation were great as usual, I loved the OP, and the moral about keeping up your imagination and being yourself in spite of reality was upbeat (vs the possible opposite message that I feared would end the show). I think I only had two complaints: 1) long timeskips between episodes, and 2) the drama started stifling the show a bit near the end. And the last episode was a a bit cliched and rushed (seriously, other studios would split that content into two episodes).

9/10. Now that I think about it, having Maaya Uchida in a starring role might be a marker for a show I will like, considering that I also liked Sankarea and Akibaranger.
