Storyline is pretty your textbook harem plot; guy has visted/lived in the town in the past, returns for some reason but manages to leave behind any memories of previous encounters he may have had. He bumps into a girl and later meets them in the school he has newly transferred to. From there he meets more and more girls and a pile of fanservice and suggestive jokes later, the end. Of course, he does make one male friend who is loud, funny and perverted who tries so hard, but ultimately fails to bag himself a girl. Poor guy.
As usual, there's one character, namely Ui, who has a somewhat more meaningful troubled past where it is revealed to us that she was very attached to her brother, bordering on too close, and she still hadn't fully accepted that he was now happy and married with another woman. She fills this emotional void by getting closer to the protagonist, as he reminds her of her brother, and would get increasingly jealous when her best friend showed signs of getting closer to him. This had me praying in hope that the plot could thicken, maybe a bit of rivalry or even better, a bit of yandere action! (KaedeKaedeKaedeKaedeKaedeKaedeKaedeKaedeKaedeKaede - Shuffle!) But all this was in vain as apparently the girls may like him, but not enough to fight someone. Apparently these girls must have a 'Bros before Hoes' thing too.
The music was alright, nothing that stood out as being especially good or especially bad.
***spoiler alert***
One thing that hugely disappointed me more than anything though is how little significance the opening scene had. Its another typical flashback in the past where he meets a girl but has to say goodbye, which undoubtedly the main character will not remember till halfway through the series at least. And this is true in this case also, but within about 10minutes of remembering, he's already rejected her and is halfway back home. I was truly just speechless over this, I knew he wouldn't end up with her anyway from the blatantly obvious OP that most harem animes have but that was just a kick in the teeth really.
Some girls weren't even considered in the whole fray despite one girl seeing his manly parts in the first episode (clearly wasn't very impressive), one girl being carried like a princess in a wedding dress and another spending the night with him in the same futon.
***spoiler end***
One point that people may like or dislike about this anime is that it has a conclusive ending. None of the mystery of who the protagonist is going to end up with, whether you support his decision or not.
Overall, if there's one point that could summarise this whole review is the word 'average'. Nothing really made this anime stand out from the other countless harem anime out there, but it is worth a watch.

But when you watch ones that are really just the same in many ways u grow to hate them.
