The opening for this is far too good for a show so mid.
The animation and music for the opening is incredible. At a certain point, I was watching the next episode just to see it. It's super unique, with gags mixed in with hints to moody drama. There's so much visual storytelling going on, it pulls you in to want to know more. And then an episode will reveal the truth behind a reference... and fall flat.
The show is a general slice of life, and not every episode involves magic. Sometimes it just explores a character, which isn't bad. With each story, the

premise and references get farther and farther away... making the gags far less funny. Halfway through episode 8, it really hit a wall.
Nico's character is cute, and she's funny, when she's the focus. She's genuine and flawed, always trying her best. She interacts well with Mori, and in turn, so does Mori with her. It's refreshing to see a female character desperately trying to get the male love interests attention, rather than the other way around. Mori's stoicism compliments Nico's energy, making for a good funny man x straight man partnership. The first couple of episodes were funny for this.
Once Kanshi was introduced, things started to drop off. My expectation was for him to be more of a side character that pops in every now and then. Having him live at the house makes him an awkward third wheel. It steals the focus, and the gags just don't hit as hard with two funny men vying for the straight man's reaction.
Would highly recommend checking out the opening, at least. Stunning work.
