This is a must NOT watch by any means, not because it's *horrible* , but because the ending is extremely bad, poor and disappointing. Story begins with artist Tsukiko creating a kawaii dog character called Maromi, which becomes a commercial hit, then she is attacked with a baseball bat wielded by a kid wearing rolling blades, who the media will go on to call "Shonen Bat". After that event, a series of non-developing stories combined with snail-paced dialogues take place. Every episode features a different character, who goes through dire straits just to not solve their problem, and their arc to be left on hold. Now if you like adjusting your glasses too much you will say this is an example of real life being unresolving at times, but this is just a mediocre excuse mediocre people come up to cope with incompetence and failure.
I'll spoil the ending because it is NOT worth watching till the end. When Tsukiko was a child, she had a dog called Maromi who got hit by a car when she dropped the leash. Then she made up a fake story saying that a kid wearing rolling blades attacked her and her dog with a bat. Yes, that is the super-mega-deep-adjusting-2-pair-of glasses-at-the-same-time explanation you get to the ENTIRETY of the series. If this is a "metaphor", it's a horrible one, not only is it horrible but it doesn't make sense. No matter how much you adjust your glasses, the story is unresolving, and saying it's "mysterious" is not a good excuse.
And on top of all that, the characters are so unrelatable and unlikable. Think of the opposite of Urasawa's Monster. Instead of every little character being interesting and compelling, every character, including the MC have the least likeable personalities possible, and even lesser interesting backstories. I don't want to spend a second more thinking about this anime, ever again in my life.
PS.: legend says that if at 3:00 am you adjust your glasses 80.678 times, the writer will appear in front of you, adjust his glasses and finally explain what on earth the old guy writing equations actually means.
