There was such a stark difference in the expressions on my face pre- and post-getting-together for the main characters. In the beginning, I absolutely loved the premise of a fangirl trying to live as a normal muggle, as if unaware of idols, to not be looked at as a freak. At one level or another, who can't relate to wanting to talk about your undying love for something or someone, but doing so is basically social and career suicide?

What I noticed, though, was when the main romance was basically resolved, it just became about the romance. I was disappointed with the number of original plot lines that never paid off, mainly related to her secret identity as a fan site manager, who would find out, and how that would affect her relationship with the idol she's obsessed with. Instead, we delved into some really unnecessary alleyways to look through the plot dumpster, so unnecessary they resolved themselves within the same episode.

Probably to kill time? They should have made better use of it.
