"Sure, I love Ai's optimistic energy, and I love the few moments where Setsuna goes off all otakuy (hard relate, girl), but Yuu's go-get-'em attitude and clear communication is what I wanted to see the most of. How often do I get to say that about a protagonist? Not often."
"The monologues, that dominate episodes, are equal parts intimate and hilarious"
"It's in the carefully handled tone where Fragtime finds its success"
"the show fairly consistently finds new, exciting ways to keep its characters dumb, in full-control of their dumb decisions, and at the mercy of each other berating one-another only to become sillier and sillier and more sapphic by the minute."

"A drama with gigantic stakes, massive emotions, and one that somehow walks the tightrope precisely to not fall into melodrama"
"The romantic climax is one of the most beautifully filmed (albeit a little cheesy) confessions I’ve seen in quite some time"
