Falls Short of Expectations

[asridharan · 6/10 · 26 June 2015]

I'll be the first one to write this review by saying don't waste your time with this show. I would recommend for you to watch something such as Clannad or any other anime. The show follows a girl named Tachibana Mei who is an outcast at her school and has no friends. She has a very daunting attitude until she meets a very popular guy at school named Yamato Kurosawa.

Story: 2/10 There's a reason for why I rated the story criteria of the show with a 2/10; there is no plot. All that there is that (spoiler alert) Tachibana keeps on becoming upset and Yamato comes to the rescue each time to help her. This is the main reason for why, probably after episode 7, things get really boring. I couldn't stand to watch this show after episode 8.

Characters: 7/10 I could withstand the characters on this show because they were still interesting, even when I hated the show. It's just that overtime, it got boring to see the characters act the way they did.

Sound: 9/10 I didn't think that the opening or ending themes were bad. I also thought the sound in the show was pretty visible so I have no complaints about that aspect of the show.

Art: 6/10 The art in this show is pretty average, the background was pretty well done, but the character design was just ordinary.

In total, this show really didn't hit the mark so don't watch it.

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 3/10 · 11 April 2019]

My main problem with this drama was that I have seen better.

The story was okay, but it lacked intensity. After the first ecounter, the story offered few to pick up on, as the side characters were overshadowed by the couple, who didn't really do anything other than the boy trying to convince the girl to trust him and to say that she loved him...

The performances were good though from everyone. Another note is that the side stories were enjoyable.

So, five out of ten for Say "I love you".

High School Fantasy

[apv-53114 · 8/10 · 4 October 2017]

This is an up and down Topsy turvy high school drama and romance, but with a couple of problems.

A high school girl is being bullied, she hates everyone, but soon is fallen in love with and gains a defender. The problem is the main character is played by Haruna who is a Japanese beauty with face, hair and legs to die for. How could she an outcast? After all, next to Nozomi Sasaki Haruna-chan is the most wonderful angel on earth (don't hate on me or on Haruna fat western women with thunder thighs and short hair).

Then there is the matter of the flick of the switch where the film literally changes tempo on the fly and goes from hatred and loneliness to sympathy and friendship. I believe a little more character development and explanation would have helped the transition.
