Mixed Feelings
Spoiler
I've watched a lot of anime and I've seen my share of animes just like this one. Many tend to be fairly mediocre and deliver, in my honest opinion, pretty superficial enjoyment. Rarely do I rate animes like this any higher than a 5, this one is no different for a few reasons.

First, the story. Basically it's just a run of the mill slice of life high school life anime. That's it. Nothing else really stands out.

Artwork. Pretty bland. There are so many still shots and panning, kind of tells me they didn't have a great budget for this. Pretty much nothing I haven't seen a million times before.

Sounds/Music..ehh your typical Jpop music. Nothing stands out to me anyways.

Characters. Honestly both the MC and protagonist are fairly weak characters. They really have no qualities that stand out. Izumi is marred by bad luck (some how it's suppose to be endearing or funny? Shrugs shoulder) and Shikimori is suppose to be like a hero to his bad luck, saving him from whatever tries to hurt him. This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't done so poorly. Rarely if ever do we see Izumi angry, or lose it when it comes to his luck, he just "accepts" it and moves on..and honestly just makes him a boring person. Shikimori can do no wrong. She's a hero, she's like superman just coming in to save Izumi..while that might work in super hero movies, in this type of anime it's fairly predictable and well, boring. The only episode I really enjoyed was the one with Kamiya who has an air of mystery. What is her feelings, etc towards the main characters, etc. It was a pretty decent episode and kept me interested unlike most of the others. Kind of wish they did more with her, but they didn't do much more than a couple of episodes.

Overall it would've been a poor anime to watch, but Kamiya saved it a bit..other than that. Pretty forgettable. By this time next year I will probably not even remember the name of it because it's that forgettable. I give it a pretty mediocre score of 5 out of 10. Watchable I guess if you're into these types of anime, but for me if I had to do it again, I'd pass. Probably won't get and shouldn't get a 2nd season.
