I got very bored by those extremely long self-doubting monologues, crying and the slow pace overall. I like watching emotional movies, but this was too much even for me. There are too many unnecessary explanatory monologues and diologues instead of getting into action. The storytelling is indeed bad. There is no strong character development and I don't even have one single favourite character in these series. As for the quality of the animation, it's fine, but I don't find it special/creative/artistic. Everything is monotonous imo. I give 6 stars only because I love animes overall.
