I liked it more than I think most people did, but it was all over the place. Felt like watanabe thought he had to outdo himself in every department so all the extremes are more extreme, leading to the mood whiplash a lot of people mention. Imouto needed an actual route and not a pump & dump game over.

I think he might've been suffering a little from having frontloaded all his best ideas into Spring and now that a lot of the shock/surprise value is gone he's kinda recycling the same general ideas to much less effect. Maybe that's why he went off to do a bunch of other all ages shit that I assume has less quantum mechanics lite in it.

but I'm willing to forgive an awful lot of bullshit from him because I really like his character banter, dick jokes, and his protagonists are always likeable and interesting. 缶詰少女 in particular, I liked the MC a lot. Also his drunk characters are spot on.

>don't put anything larger than elbow in your ear
>elbow
friend I am really hoping that is a typo or autocorrect because I'll be damned if I can put anything even remotely approaching the size of my elbow in my ear.

nipponese q-tips do look pretty huge though.

expectations definitely do come into the picture though, conscious or not. looking at his previous works it's hard not to look at Akikuru's "romcom" description and think 'oh yeah, just like Harukuru was a slice of life story' and then have that expectation slowly fade with the realization that wait, it really is a romcom.

Harukuru was genre shift as fuck and no one expected this, with Akikuru most people expected a genre shift again and then the twist was that there wasn't a twist. Or something, that's my take on it anyway.

Still think Spring was best for the tightness and coherence of the themes & imagery, even if the characters were a bit weak. Fall was like the inversion of that, great characters but didn't really have that coherence heh.
