Shuffle is a good anime despite many flaws and nitpicks. The plot is simple and the characters are nice but it lacks certain idea's that would make a average anime a great anime. Shuffle is a Harlem (A story where a guy is romantically involved with several women or vice versa) but Shuffle doesn't use all the potential that it should. The main character Rin is very dry and the supporting cast is actually more interesting then he is. Several girls like Rin but it isn't until the final episodes that we learn who he likes and who he wants to end up with. In a good Harlem Rin would have had romantic encounters or moments with all the girls and would have liked all the girls for different reasons but you don't feel Rin struggling to pick the right girl and that's Shuffle's biggest flaw. Another flaw is that the show goes from uplifting to depressing rather quickly towards the end and the sudden shift seems to come out of the blue.
