I completed Love Through A Prism over the past week. It is a very standard shoujo romance, following all the common tropes like:

I usually don’t care for vanilla, but the meta has been villainess for so long that vanilla looped right back around to being refreshing.
What made it stood out from similar works is its production value. IMO it is on par with the top-tiers of this season.
So even though it’s “nothing special”, I enjoyed it quite a bit. If vanilla shoujo is your cup of tea, consider checking it out.
I’ve almost finished it too. My experience with this show is quite similar. I generally don’t like stereotypical romances so I was actually surprised when it turned out to be quite tolerable. As for its production value – the VAs performances were very good, the animation was above average for a show of this kind, but nothing impressive compared to some currently airing shounen series, so I wouldn’t say it’s on par with the best ones of this season when it comes to that. However, all the backgrounds were really impressive (apart from the sea in ep14 – that looked uncanny, like a real footage slapped with a filter) so if you’re a background art connoisseur, this show is definitely worth checking out.
