my one-hit kill sister
However, this season they decided to put out three full shows at the same time. A Girl and Her Guard Dog was definitely the one they sacrificed whenever they needed time for the other two. There's plain bad art, choppy animation, faulty frames, continuity errors, mismatch with audio, style dissonance
within a scene, lazy backgrounds, weirdly paced scenes, recycled animation, extended flashbacks (from previous episodes) and probably more. The direction itself and the pacing of the season as a whole were rather good, if you do care about the story. The voice acting and BGM were of standard quality, some pieces even stand out for
being particularly effective.
This is purely speculation, but seeing how the vast majority of the recent
works from the studio have a male demo, this was a change of pace that was forced
into them, and they didn't spend any extra bit of effort in the show besides what was needed so the episode aired.
The OST: I live for Masayoshi Ooishi and the OP didn't disappoint. The ED is good too. They don't count towards the rating so moving on.
Before going on to the conclusions, I want to say that the ickiness of the plot goes way beyond the age gap. The aspect that makes the story completely reprehensible is that he's her _guardian_.
How far
would you go for the sake of your beloved idol?

However, Takamura felt that he couldn't outright refuse
Ippo, especially since his feat of punching the sandbag much harder than anybody else in the gym (except for Takamura). Therefore, he challenges Ippo to catch 10 falling leaves from a tree simultaneously after a week of training, fully convinced that Ippo would fail, Takamura jogs away as he continues his roadwork. However, after a week of tough training, involving nightly hours, Ippo manages the technique in the nick of time. He waits for the jogging Takamura to come by his usual
path and surprises him by catching all 10 of the falling leaves and only doing so with his left hand. This impresses Takamura greatly, and he informs Ippo that the action required to catch all 10 leaves is called a boxing jab. Takamura invites Ippo back to the boxing gym for introductions.
