Spotlight Anime: Maison Ikkoku



MAL Series Information Page: Maison Ikkoku

Score: 8.26 (scored by 3616 users)
Ranked: #234
Popularity: #1592

For the next week I would like to have a discussion about the series that focuses on the key elements that we here on MAL use to critically rate an anime: Animation, Sound, Characters, Story, and Enjoyment.

I would like everyone to approach this thread as if you were going to write a review and structure your initial post like this:


Animation - insert rating
Sound - insert rating
Characters - insert rating
Story - insert rating
Enjoyment - insert rating

Animation - discuss any pros and cons of the animation styling used in the series, try to include some specifics.

Sound - describe any of the things you liked or didn't care for in regards to the music and sound effects used in the series

etc...



If you are having trouble writing up a review or coming up with specific pro's and cons, please don't worry. Just do the best you can with it and if you can only write two or three sentences about any of the 5 elements then that's OK. Not everyone here is currently at a level which will allow them to articulate their thoughts and opinions.

After your initial post is made you can feel free to civilly discuss issues of contention. I am sure there will be many opinions expressed here that some of us will disagree upon and criticize and it is for that reason that this entire club exists. So I hope everyone has fun and I am really looking forward to watching this discussion unfold.

Does anyone have anything to say about this show? I watched episode 1 and it was pretty mediocre. Does it get better?

Hahaha nice one. I too got irritated and my patience was being tested throughout the series. I'd like to hear out opinions from those who voted for this one.

This is considered the percursor of the romcom genre, it seems. Still, it's pretty bad. 90 episodes of pure pain and horror.

Someone is still owing me a bottle of bagaço for watching this one till the end.

Ma'am, there are not enough bottles of bagaço to get through the sheer volume of bad anime there is. I suggest you save it up for the apocalypse that I'm sure will come.
