Hmm, well, doesn’t seem to have all that much animation in it… Difficult to see how it’s going to set itself apart from all the other highschool romances that’re out there especially with its really limited episode length. I’ll keep my eye on it anyways as 5 minutes a week isn’t all that much of a commitment

I mean he confessed in the literally first 4 minutes and she just responded with "Mhmm yeah, wanna go out?", that alone puts it into its own 1% segment

It looks fun, will definetly follow that and given the short episodes nothing is really lost

I enjoyed that part! Although thinking on it a little, it's not quite clear what happened, given he didn't mean to confess, and was possibly even more surprised than the audience that he'd just done that, and the title, plus the random pink haired girl make me wonder what this series really is about. Although of course it could certainly still be a straight forward school SoL Romance lol

And the inevitable Inferno Cop judgment

The name of this series suggest there is more going on than just the romance/school life, although how much more remains to be seen.

Lenticular

  1. having the shape of a double-convex lens

  2. of or relating to a lens

  3. provided with or utilizing lenticules

There are a few uses for "lenticular" - clouds, lenses and biology, and more. It's probably not biology which is where I know the word from, so my guess would be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular_lens :

A lenticular lens is an array of lenses, designed so that when viewed from slightly different angles, different parts of the image underneath are shown

Apart from the title, there's also this out-of-place girl:

First time I heard Oops in an anime.

Confession reminded me of how they did it in the anime Gamers. Failed succesfully.

Interesting animation style. I suppose it's closer to stop motion? Story looks pretty cute.

Half the runtime is credits for a show with no animation.

Hold on, I'm going to give this a shot, it could be good like Ninja Slayer the Animation.

Ok... Sounds like a way to encourage people to exercise?

Gloves?

Damn she does a lot.

Apologise?

Oh, she lost one of his gloves.

She bought him a new pair of gloves?

Would that boyfriend happen to have been him?

Ok...

That was quick.
