To clarify, I don’t mean romantic relationship, even though there is plenty of work put into that aspect, but it’s a slow burn. It may seem interesting, they put a lot of work into making it interesting, but what steals the show and became the only reason to finish the season was the relationship development between Kato and Tomoya. That’s the big story, but not the part that’s interesting. This plays into both Eriri and Utaha being scouted for a huge franchise and both of them leaving the group to work on the project which guts the team. It turns out that she just can’t draw for Tomoya anymore. The first is that Eriri can’t draw anymore or rather has hit a slump. They end up a hit, but so much happens as a result of how they finished. Eriri ends up delaying the game as she falls into a slump and instead of Tomoya relying on Kato as she’s requested, he lets the deadline pass, and they have to burn the game themselves. He’s challenged as a creative producer and fails pretty much every time. The formula is fairly simple every episode is dedicated to one character and Tomoya’s struggle with their work. It’s used to establish the sexual motivations of all the women in love with Tomoya.Īfter that, it’s back to Blessing Software’s game, and there are a few nice moments in the season as the team finishes their groundbreaking date sim game. It’s just that the season ends up only being technically eleven episodes long because this episode doesn’t count officially for some reason and doesn’t help the story in the least bit. This “zero episode” takes place in-between the two seasons and so at least makes some sense to the story. Perhaps the biggest misstep with this season and the first is the “zero episode” which is 100% fan service. With the second season, it was in reverse, sitting on its ass in the beginning and then cranking out the story at the end. That was true of the first season of How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend which started with a solid introduction to the characters and the premises and then sat on its ass for the last six. The problem with a lot of anime, especially of the harem variety, is that they’re great for six episodes and then not so much.
