Premise: Ichinose Hana is finally starting high school after a year off. Shes terrified of anyone learning about her shameful slow start even as she begins making friends.

The Good: Slow Start is a cute girls slice-of-life anime, and it definitely nails the comedic laid-back atmosphere those should strive for. Not all of the characters are great, but I dont dislike any of them. Tamate was my favorite for being so high-energy and having a playfully lewd sense of humor. I also didnt mind the flirty interactions between Eiko and their teacher, it somehow managed to seem sweet rather than creepy. The animation in this was very good as well.

The Bad: Ultimately, I dont recall Slow Start being much more than a super generic cute girls anime. I blame that on the premise. As hooks go, the main character starting school a year later than everyone else is one of the lamest Ive ever seen. I guess that must be a big deal in Japan because Hana moved to a whole new school district where no one will know her and its a constant source of anxiety. It sours a lot of scenes that shes in because I just dont care. Hana was so boring. I also didnt love Kamuri. Her whole gimmick was being small and sleepy and I feel like Ive seen her exact character a dozen times before.

Overall: Slow Start is a fine cute girls slice-of-life. There are just so many other ones with better characters and better hooks that I cant call this anything special. Tama and Eiko are great, but Kamuri and especially the main character Hana are boring.
