His and Her Circumstances

A teenage girl putting up a “Miss Perfect” front at high school is found out by a boy who seems to be the real thing.
A real ‘mixed bag’. The low budget is no excuse for Anno making such a hash of this show, with mostly static shots and moving text in the first half of the series – no wonder he was fired. But the story and characters sustain one’s interest, which is probably due to the original manga rather than any special achievement of the animators.
