After watching 4 more episodes of Douki no Sakura, I can see that the formula of the series is to build up to a sentimental and long speech by the supporting character featured in the episode where they explain every single emotion they have.
I like that its based on real world work issues like bullying, trying to fit in and female employees not given any real work but the script is not smart enough to say anything interesting about them except to say they exist. That is not enough to make it entertaining.
Episode 6 is my favourite episode so far because its a bit more complex with this feminist author who uses a just cause as a money making scam and Aibu Saki sees through this bullshit but she is conflicted with her work duties.
It is very relevant to today's world where there are many activists out there and some of them are more interested in lining their pockets than making the world better, especially without oversight.
Douki no Sakura is not smart enough nor is it fun enough to rise from GTO clone mediocrity. If you have not seen Dandarin, please see it because it is what Douki no Sakura could be. I don't know if I will continue watching. Mediocre meh.
