The animation is great for a slice of life anime. The almost realistic setting, and the rotoscoping looks beyond the normal budget for a show, and in the realm of movie territory. The main protagonist is insufferable, you feel sorry for her in the beginning, but that quickly fades when she interacts with the other girls, and the producer. Some gripes she has are legitimate while some are just nitpicks. The music isn't much to write home about even though it's anime centered around music.
