"It's not being in love that makes me happy. It is the person that i am in love with that does"
Story of romance sometimes are pretty generic. We see a boy and a girl fallin in love with each other then they meet some obstacle in their relationship but somehow can manage it and happy end. But of course, the differences is how they would wrap that generic story and for me, Tsuki ga Kirei have take to a whole new level of it.
Brought to you by the director of famous anime, Angel Beats. The story is pretty much generic but what makes Tsuki ga
...
Kirei interesting is how they deliver the story. When we see the first second of the anime, one things that would come to our mind is 'relatable' like have you ever fallin in love with someone without any reason? and doesnt have much courage to talk with them so u just can look at him/her in a distance? for some people, they can relate this kind of romance story when they were in Junior High School like you are shy to hold your partner's hand or doesnt have any courage to talk with your crush or partner in the school. For me, i can relate to all that stuff so i can feel what the main characters feels in each scenes.
Along with it, there is kind of a refreshment to see how the romance develop between each characters. Because your main characters (Azumi Kotarou) isnt some of playboy with outgoing personality but a timid-literature-nerd boy who just experiencing the first love of his life and the same case for the heroine (Mizuno Akane), she is an active girl but when it comes to love she becomes timid. How they will make their relationship become much better is one of things that makes this anime interesting to see more.
However, the story progress is quite slow and maybe it will bore some people but this kind of approach is suitable for romance series anime because we will see much detail about their story or background and it can increase the tense that happen in some scenes.
The art in this anime is perfectly suit with the pure romance themes. The watercolour pallete they use are deepening the mellow atmosphere and really suitable with story. The background also pleasing to see like it's kind of Makoto Shinkai works but instead using sharp colour they're using subtle and watercolour pallete. Though not many people get used with this kind of art.
Overall, i found this anime is enjoyable to watch and so far is still interesting to see what happens next. This anime maybe would be a hidden gem in this season if they still continuing with kind of pace and have a kind of twist in the end.

Have you ever experienced like seeing an ugly food but it turned to be so delicious?
The sentence above is pretty much what i felt after watching Konosuba or Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!. From the first we're already served with bad art but as the show goes on, this anime turned into one of the most entertaining anime in winter season 2016.
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo story is pretty much following the trend with a MC is being trapped in fantasy world. The MC, Kazuma thinks that he can be a hero and defeat the dark lords in that world like any
...
anime and game that he ever played but reality smash him hard. With such useless companions and no talents, Kazuma must struggling his life in the Fantasy world.
Yes, the premise that i said above maybe sound so stupid but its pretty much tells what this anime about. If you're looking for action and intense fight like any adventure action anime would be then this anime is not what you're looking for. Like premise said, Konosuba is mainly focus on the struggling Kazuma to live in fantasy world. You wouldnt find any fight scenes in this anime but you will find so many funny tsukkomi jokes. The jokes is really spot on and easily to understand, i really laugh my ass of when i watch this anime. The jokes in konosuba is mainly what makes this anime so great.
Not only the jokes, what makes the jokes is funnier is the seiyuu. They are perfectly fit with every characters's trait in this anime like Aqua with his stupid and airhead personality are voiced by Sora Amamiya, she is really nailed Aqua's voice. and also, Kazuma who voiced by Jun Fukushima is really great to be the tsukkomi for every jokes that appears in this anime.
Another things to be worth to be mention is the characters, they are so original. like did you ever imagine Defender or tanker which have M personality? Yes, Konosuba have that, her name is Darkness. Your rotten type girl who is always get horny by getting attacked. I mean, thats perfect combination, right? tanker with M personality. Thats purely amazing. Not only Tanker, did u ever imagine Great mage that can only cast one destruction magic per day? yes, her name is Megumin. or maybe skillful priest but have airhead personality and pretty much idiot? thats just so brilliant. Every characters in this anime have their own uniqueness and make them as a valuable characters not only as side characters.
There is not much complain for every aspects in this anime except the art parts. The characters design looks so sloopy and sometimes makes such a weird pose and anatomy. The background is so-so but there is time like when they put an effort in the art especially when it comes to magic circle. It looks detailed and great. Anyway the lackness in art section maybe makes this anime not perfect but somehow for me, this lackness is really suitable with this kind of anime.
Last, i dont know how to say this about this anime. If i can describe this anime in one sentence it would be "stupidly funny". In every episode, i always laughed so hard. There is not much anime that makes me laugh so hard like this anime. So yeah, i would definitely recommend this anime if you're into comedy anime. Looking forward to the second season thou!

Its not easy to find a good manga that would really suitable with your taste. In my case, i love ecchi one so i love any manga that related to ecchi things but of course with good story or at least its easy to enjoy and Sore ga Kanojo is something that not really what i liked the most but its worth for those who want to read something light and fun.
Sore ga Kanojo no Seigi Nara or belief and sex in english is a manga that been published since 2010 until 2012 by Sanada Rin. This manga focusses on Yuki who live with
...
his dad's old friend since his parents are "stuck" in their lovey-dovey moments. Family that with he lives now isnt-your-typical-family. The head of the house is an erotic author novel who have 3 children and they all are girls. Furthermore, she habitually forces her three daughters into embarrassing sexual situations!
As you imagine after reading the synopsis, this manga would involves so many ecchi things. You can said fanservice is their "main course" in this manga from naked moments to BDSM though in the end there wouldnt any intersexual course like Nozoki Ana. Not only sexual things that this manga provided but there is also some funny moments that at least would chuckled you out. Yuki, our main characters is the reason of this. His reaction to all the "abuse" that the mother (head of the house) to her children is amusing to watch and beware, there would be so many nosebleed moments.
This manga is certainly like a roller coaster there is the moments where this manga is shines the most but there is also a moment where this manga is plain as hell. Plain in this means like the some stories is really forgetable and also it feels there isnt any connected story between each chapters, each chapters presenting their-one-story-chapter and the next chapter standing as it was alone. In general, There isnt anything to be worth to mention. Yes it was fun to read this manga but it wasnt that fun to remember it.
The characters in this manga is quite likeable. They are have their own uniqueness like Yuki, our main character despite his scary face, he is kind, easy to get nosebleed, a liitle bit emotional and also kinda loner because of his looks. One of our main heroines is Aya, one of three girls in the house. She is your typical perfect heroines which is smart, famous, beauty and submissive. To the point, this submissiveness is the core of this manga since mainly the story is about how Tsumugi handling her mother's "sexual harassments". There is also the other daughters, like Tsumugi the oldest one which is have slutty personality (no pun intended) and Sarasa the youngest one which is not-really-that-innocent. But all above that, of course the culprit of these all, Kiryuu Kinu. their mother which is erotic novel writer who tends to tease and forcefully his daughters to get into embarassing situation. Unfortunately, other than Aya the other characters is like side characters. They didnt have enough screentime and this makes the lack of the developments for other characters.
The art is really great. First of all , each backgrounds in this manga is quite detailed and really suitable with every scenes. Then the characters design especially the girls is really great. The girls is drawn beautifully and in the same time erotically, it perfectly fits with the ecchi themes. Though there isnt any special but so far this section is the best for this manga.
In the end, this manga is for someone who're looking for ecchi manga that they would like to spend on with without concerning any plot. I didnt say this anime is bad with the story but honestly this manga is purely for someone who're seeking for fanservices.

“Failure is not the end, its more like a part for being successful”
Mushoku Tensei Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu is probably one of the manga that you shouldn’t miss and this manga have a big chance to be popular. I am not saying this just because i like this manga, heck i don’t even read the LN (some people said the LN is much more better) which this manga based on, but this manga is seriously shows a lot of potentials.
The story is began when a 34 years old NEET get reincarnated after get killed in traffic accidents. Surprisingly, he gets reincarnated as a newborn
...
baby with name as Rudeus Greyrat and lives in magical world where magic do exist. Since he still has the memory when he was adult, he resolves to not making mistakes (being NEET) again and live a life with no regrets. Because he already have knowledge of adults, by the age of two he already can read and speak like how adult supposed to be. Moreover, within that age he already can do magic which makes him as a prodigy and thus his story began.
What makes me interest with this manga is the story. Even from chapter 1, the story would easily grasp the reader to keep reading it since the plot is moving smoothly, scenes each scenes are connected beautifully, and the plot twist in the end always keep the readers to be curious on what happen next.
One of the main interests of this manga is the development. As you know, the protagonist Rudeus Greyrat or should we call Rudi is start as 2-year-old boy but with middle-aged NEET mind. He is constantly growing in each chapter not just physically but also mentally. As a boy who being called as prodigy surely its interesting to see the development that happen within him like what's gonna he learn next and etc. The development is also happen in the relationship within each characters, from hate to friends and even have a slight of romance which is nice.
Art in this manga is pretty well made too. Yuka Fujikawa who responsible for the art is really did his job, even he is not famous his art is pretty good. The background is really detailed and beautiful which really fits with the story and also the character design is great. He really make the characters being as eyecandy for the viewer so we didn’t get bored with it. No complaint from the art.
Another things what make this manga interesting is the characters, each characters have their own uniqueness but at the same time it feels real like the real life person. Each actions that they made have their own reasons not like any manga which sometimes some characters do annoying things without any particular reasons. Rudi, our protagonist is pretty much have a “hero” in his personality due his dark past, like to protect the weak, helping another person, etc. Despite his appearance, he is pretty genius due his age, it thanks for his middle-aged knowledge from his past life. Another characters that should be mention is Eris, she is Rudi’s older cousin. She is not your typical tsundere since she is extremely violent, tomboy and rude especially to Rudi but in the end she got her soft side which is pretty cute.
This manga is extremely good for those who’re looking for an enjoyable manga. The story is flowing naturally like a river, the characters is likeable, the comedy is funny enough to make you laugh, overall you wouldn’t want to miss this manga. In the end, If there is anyone asking me what manga that they should read the first list that i would recommend is this manga called Mushoku Tensei : Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu.

I couldn’t help to bring myself to review this manga, when I read this manga sometimes I need to ask myself “did I just become pedophile?” or “have I lost my sanity?”. Well, I am not wrong if I thinking that while reading this manga since Mujaki no Rakuen is basically about a bunch of innocence grade schoolers showing their body and do “naughty” things but what makes it worse is this manga is just so interesting in many ways. What a guilty pleasure.
Mujaki no Rakuen story begin when Shouta Handa, a 25-years-old NEET goes to his reunion with his former classmates but
...
suddenly he tripped at the school pool and somehow it throws him back to go back when he was fifth grade. Since he didn’t want to ended up as NEET again in the future, Shouta trying to change his life from now on.
Based on the premise, This manga is really fun, however at the same time there is such feel of guilty too when reading this. If you’re okay with seeing naked body of fifth grade then I think you would have no problem reading Mujaki no Rakuen since that is the main show. Exposing an “unripe fruit” is one of the main interests, in this manga you would be served by so many fanservices that probably would awaken your lolicon spirit.
Another interesting parts of this manga is the innocence. Besides Shouta who is already adult in his mind, all the characters in this manga are still kids. Like when they have to change their clothes surely they didn’t mind about changing in front of their opposite sex since their mind is still “pure” though its different case with Shouta or like when they think kissing could make baby. Its pretty fun to see all of them and remind us when we’re still kids.
Another part of innocence that makes this manga interesting is the romance. Its really fun to see all the innocence kids fallin in love. In this case, our protagonist Shouta is being liked by many girls in his classroom. The way how they reacts despite not knowing their true feelings toward the protagonist is really cute.
For manga that released in 2011, Mujaki no Rakuen art is quite top notch. The background is really beautiful and quite detailed, it really giving us the vibe of surreal environment. The characters design is also a eyecandy for readers, they’re all really cute and really likeable. I think there isn’t any problem within the art itself.
In the end, this manga is quite good for those who’re looking for “refreshing” manga that didn’t need to much thinking. For myself, i really liking this since i found the enjoyment when reading this manga However, do not expect some plot in this manga since this manga is mainly focussing on ”arousing” you rather than giving you stories.

If we’re talking about anime industry right now, we probably know what the characteristic of anime industry, one of them is making normal things into cute (girl) things. Moyashimon is one of the anime that use the characteristic, they change the appearance of microscopic organism like bacteria, into a cute chibi creature. There is nothing wrong with that moreover it makes us to see the microscopic organism in the different way and Moyashimon showing what microscopic organism are and how useful they are in our everyday life. In this anime, you’re not just watching for entertainment but also learning about microscopic organism in the
...
fun way.
Moyashimon story began when Sawaki and his childhood friend Yuuki Kei goes into agricultural university, he is not just an ordinary student, he is somehow can see the microscopic organism with his own eyes. With his unique skill, he joined with the eccentric Professor Itsuki Keizo to research more about microscopic organism such as germ, bacteria and other creatures.
The story in this anime is really light-hearted and simple to follow, there is no overdramatizing or complicated matters that would make us scratch our head. The problem that occurs in this anime is usually what we’re always find in our real life (aside from Sawaki special skill) like how to deal with our friends, having fun in campus, etc. The comedy in this anime is good since its so subtle, they didn’t exaggerate and push the viewers to laugh. The comedy in this anime is enough to make us chuckles or at least smile when watching it. Anyway, they represent this story in slow pace and the way how this anime connects each scene to another scenes is really intriguing encourage us to watch more and more.
Another aspects that we should consider aside the entertainment side is the education part. Like I said before, this anime also make us learning about microscopic organism. In every episodes, after the ending song they make a short animation where all the chibi organism like bacteria interacts with each other and telling us what contribution that they make in our life. This is quite fun to watch since the chibi is really adorable and the voice is also cute and pleasant to hear. I bet the education system would be more better if they use this style.
The art in this anime is quite top notch for anime that airing in 2007. Great detailed background, good settings, nice coloring, lovely character design and the CG are mixing well with the background though they just using the CG for the microbes. The transition between each scenes is also very smooth. They really put the efforts for this section and you can really see it.
If there is a reason why this anime great aside from the learning side, it’s the characters. The character designs are very well made, they all were gorgeous especially the girls though its basically based on the original manga. However, the winner of this character designs is of course the microbe. They successfully makes something “disgusting” like bacteria turning into an adorable chibi creature. Its cheesy grins is really suitable with the microbe since the microbe in this anime portrayed as happy and energetic creature. Moreover, the microbe is usually shown in CG which makes third times more cuter. You just cant be helped to love this one.
Sawaki, our protagonist is pretty much shown as slugger and always accepting what happens with him in this case being dragged by the people and events surround him. As the only people who can see the microbe with his naked eyes, he seems really doesn’t mind and act like it was nothing due the past that many people disbelief with his unique skill. The other main characters, Yuuki Rei is shown to be as a nice guy and as to be told have feminime side. As the son’s sake brewery owner, he is quite harsh if its about sake. Though as the show progresses Kei began to fade out as main character due some “inner” problem that occurs to him.
The other characters that really noticeable is of course Professor Itsuki, He is shown as the old guy who have infatuation with the microbes. Aside from his unique personality , he is also an insightful mentor and professor who doesn’t mind to help his student if they need a help. Last, Haruka. Haruka is Professor Itsuki’s assistant. She tends to use sexy outfit which pretty much looks like sadistic woman, the outfit itself really represent Haruka personality which shown as hot-headed and violent girls however later in the series, she is also a tsundere.
Last, the sound. From the music, they have Sarasa Ifu for their opening with her song “Curriculum”. This song is quite catchy pop songs, her lovely cute voice and song is really suitable with the anime since the song is quirky and sounds fun which represent the anime itself. Aside from the music, there isn’t any problem with the voice actors. They really done well with their own respective roles especially Tomomochi Nishimura (Professor Itsuki), his voice is really suitable with Professor Itsuki, he really brings out the Itsuki personality.
Moyashimon is surely one of the anime that I really recommend if you want to watch a light-hearted comedy anime. Great story, amazing characters, lovely music what else can you expect from this series? Somehow I just don’t get it why this anime is so underrated, at least this anime need some more recognition.

"Sometimes, things that you dont consider as a good thing for you is probably the most good things for you"
Thats what i learned from Yowamushi Pedal.
Yowamushi Pedal is an anime that i pick randomly just because some people talking about it, honestly i dont have any expectation for this anime and i am not even a fan of cycling. For me, cycling is just a boring sport you just have to pedal your bicycle as fast as you can and thats it. But seems my arrogance must be paid, this anime gives you a new perspective about cycling and makes you think cycling is not
...
always ride a bike but also the fun behind ride it.
The story will begin about Onoda Sakamichi, an otaku who loves to go to Akiba using his mama bikes once a week. When he entered into Sohoku high school, he already planned to join anime club but unfortunately anime club is already disbanded and need new members to revive the club. While he tried to find a new member, he realize his talents in cycling especially in climbing which he got from his journey to Akiba each week. Then, he ended up to join Sohoku cycling club.
What makes Yowamushi Pedal interesting is the way how the bring the story. As we know, cycling is not really popular and even boring sport for some people –me, especially- they bring out the tension and drawing out some “action” scenes. Basically, Yowamushi Pedal is a modern sports konjo (meaning sports and will-power). They providing us each of the character’s thoughts carefully while taking careful time to illustrate the action and the reason behind each characters the action.
Not just that, Yowamushi Pedal explains perfectly all things about cycling. Like how i said before this anime give you a new perspective about cycling and they really did it. I always thought cycling race (like tour de france) is simple, you just need ride the bike and quickly reach the finish line but i was wrong. It is more complicated. Like did you know there is two type road bicycle racer, climber or sprinter? Or did you know the pack leader is the most exhausting parts because they must drafting the pack?
As i said before, sports konjo is focussing on will-power. Its pretty much genre that quite essentially from japanese and easily reflects an important mentality within the culture: no matter how tough it gets, it’s possible to improve by the power of will and this what makes Yowamushi interesting. Our main character, Onoda is not a talented person in cycling but his will what makes him through all the obstacles and we, as viewer cant be helped to not to root for him.
Yowamushi Pedal is surely quite eyecandy for a people who looking for visual quality. It surely have the best art in sport anime. They mixed well between 2D animation and 3D animation especially when every riding scenes, they use 3D animation from the legs to the bottom while in the face they using 2D in face section. I must say the art is really superb and almost flawless. Not just that, the background is also looks vivid and colorful, its surely visual feast for the viewers.
The music is also pleasant to hear. All the opening song which are rock songs is really suitable with the themes, which is sport and determination. The one thing i really memorize is from Dirty Old Men, Yowamushi na Honoo (弱虫な炎) is really a catchy rock song, the fast beat drum and catchy tune makes this anime looks epic. The BGM or soundtrack is also amazing, they really hyped the atmosphere like when the racer nearly reach the finish line, the BGM that they use is an orchestra music which makes the atmosphere looks glorius and epic.
What makes Yowamushi interesting to watch is the characters. Almost all the characters in this anime have unique side and personality. You can easily knowing them by the differences, like Naruko , which he is hot blooded character or Izumida, the rival cyclist who is always flaunting his chiseled abs. Its important to make the characters prominent to others because by doing it you can easily remembering them and make them is not like a forgettable 2D character and become a wasted character.
Finally, after all the things i have said, i can surely saying this “this is a great anime that i would recommend to you guys”. This is one of good sports anime, because it can turn the topic of a sport you’ve never had interest into entertainment, and Yowamushi Pedal is just like that

Did you know Sakamoto-kun? The most flawless characters ever? No?
Sakamoto-kun is one of the comedy manga that combines with realistic art and random story. However, thats what make this manga is more entertaining than it should be.
Random comedy story and overpowered or rather should be said "flawless" main character is what makes this manga is fun to read. The story is rather simple, its about our hero and saviour, Sakamoto-kun who encounters problem in the daily life and how he solve it with a "fancy" way. Like what did you do if you see a fire who would burn you up? find a water?
...
what if there wasnt any water around? For our lord and saviour, Sakamoto. He would use his sweat to extinguished it. How? because he is a saviour! duh.
Sakamoto is pretty much our focus attention and this person what makes this manga is more interesting. He is ABSOLUTELY perfect and flawless guy, there is many way to describe this guy, handsome, smart, great, admirable, flawless, uke, super, cool, etc(put any good aspects in here). He is a guy who would turn you into a gay if you're a man and ended up in love and wanna married him right awat if you're a girl. Thats how badass Sakamoto is.
How is the art in this manga? Well, its certainly good and how Sano Nami draw realistically in this manga is really suitable with the story and the gag. Though this manga art is probably not-for-all and sometimes it could be weird for some readers. but Who cares? As long as there is Sakamoto in there, this manga is ABSOLUTELY perfect. Forget about the art and lets keep talking about Sakamoto.
The other characters that appears in this manga is nothing really tobe noticeable, they already sink with the mighty of Sakamoto.
In the end, This manga is one of comedy manga that you must read if you're looking for fun and comedy manga that would make you laugh hard, this is the one that i would like to recommend.

Watching this anime is like having your girlfriend/boyfriend cheated on you or knowing your best friends stab from the back. In other words, it feels like being betrayed.
Sora no Otoshimono Final: Eternal My Master is one of the movie that have been most anticipation and one that have been through so many controversies. One of them is making this one into a movie. The first plan for Sora no Otohimono Final: Eternal My Master is making this into a series format but suddenly. they're changing it into a movie without any particular reasons. The result? We have a very much rushed and unclear story.
Sora
...
no Otoshimono Final: Eternal My Master taking a place after the first movie, Sora no Otoshimono: Tokeijikake no Angeloid. The story in this movie is mainly focussing on the relation between Tomoki and Ikaros and how their life works after the previous movie and thats it. There isnt any plot and moreover, the whole story is a mess. At the first we have some dramatic scenes between Ikaros and Tomoki then after that we would seeing an usual SnO, which is comedy between the characters but then back again with some dramatic scenes without explaining whats happen with the first dramatic scenes. As the result, the emotional scenes that probably the director wants misses the mark and loses its impacts.
The other things that should be noticed how this anime doesnt explain anything in the end. As for a "closing"movie to the series, this movie doesnt explain anything like what really Ikaros do in the past? Where is Zeus? What is the black hole that appear in the sky? and so on. It leaves a big question and bring confused to viewers that doesnt read the manga like me.
But after all that, there is a good aspects that keep mestill to watch it until the end. It was the fillers. If you're expecting this anime would "finally" focus solely on serious story, this maybe a letdown. Since, nearly 80% of this movie still have an entertaining and funny scenes like the usual Sora no Otoshimono. The jokes as usual is great and the characters is still fun and lovely to watch. Moreover, the Tomoki's harem increasing with the presence of Chaos. However, funny scenes like this would confused us with where do they want to bring this anime? A serious one or like the usual one (Rom-com)?
The art and sound in this anime isn't much a thing,of course for movie format the quality is a little bit better than the series one but in the end, it doesnt much mean anything while the story is a mess.
As a fan of Sora no Otoshimono, this movie is surely a disappointing and makes me think what is in the director's head when making this. Is it a marketing sales so people would buy the manga for knowing what happen or the director just want to make a mess? who knows. Well, i really hope they make another movie or probably series to be a bridge for explaining what happen in this movie.

"People would only wants the old me not the present me" - Tada Banri
Golden Time is something that tingles in my mind for a few days after i watched it. Back in the November, i was already put Golden Time in my plan to watch, since so many sites recommend that this anime is your-must-watch anime in winter season and so after it has finished aired, i watched it and i must say i have a really "golden time" when watching it.
As far as you can see, Golden Time is labeled with comedy and romance genre. The genre that we often said as the most
...
generic in anime industry. JC is one of those production house that often adapting romance-comedy manga into anime, Bakuman and Ano natsu is one of their success romance comedy anime. But how about Golden time?
Golden Time is anime that must we consider where romance-comedy anime is not all about cliche and the endless loop "would they be date or not". There is so many things that makes golden time is a worth anime to watch. One of those is how the story goes. The plot moves smoothly and with the narration giving a sense that Banri is showing and telling the story, its really make us understanding what Banri are thinking.
Golden Time is like a puzzle, each episode provide us a single piece that if we're combining all of them would make the completed one and so this one. This basically because Golden Time focussing on how Tada Banri collected his lost memories and how his amnesia affecting the people surround him including his friends or lover. And so we would be presented so many flashbacks that would tell how he was in the past including how he have forgotten the life before amnesia.
As i said before, Golden time is like breaking the endless loop of “would they be date or not” . In this anime, we would see a progression of romance relationship. This is not merely they would lovey dovey all the time but we would see the struggle and obstacle between them which is nice and represents how life is not always easy and there would be always some obstacles that blocks our way.
Other things that makes golden time interesting is the comedy. The humor primarily comes from the interactions between his friends and minor characters, In this anime we would see a comedy that basically happen in our real life like how we get pranked by our seniors when just enrolled in university or jokes that can only be understand by our circles. Golden time is realistically represent this in their show which is makes watching golden time like watching our life itself.
The art in this anime is not too good neither bad. But this is suitable with the anime. The background is quite vivid and colorful. But sometimes the art is kinda messed up, like how they drawn characters sometimes the characters look so weird. JC seems like doesnt do their best in this anime, there is just so many times when the characters look bend in the other way but despite of that, it doesnt decreasing the pleasure from watching this anime.
The sound in this anime is amazing, first from the seiyuu parts we would find a few famous seiyuu like Yui Horie as Kaga Koko or Ai Kayano as Linda, of course the quality of them doesnt need to ask, they perfectly fit with their roles especially Yui Horie as Kaga Koko. Her sound really loveable and the phrases “oh, wow” is kinda attracting. But thats not just all, one thing to notice is how Furukawa Makoto for being Tada Banri as seiyuu. As a new comer, his quality isnt like the beginner at all. His angry or serious tone are really magnificent and really suitable with Tada Banri.
Not just the seiyuu parts, the soundtrack is also good. From the opening we have “Golden Time” by Yui Horie itself. The song is quite lovely and easily grasp people’s heart. There isnt any problem with their OP and ED songs, it had a really nice combination of OP/ED to start the series off which helped with that great first impression. they were particularly is suitable with the themes of love. Moving to BGM, Yukari Hashimoto is the one who responsible for this. Honestly, she is the best when it comes to romance music. His works in Toradora is enough to represent his quality and this time he also success in this anime. The BGM is really mixing well with each scenes.
The other thing that is noticeable from this show is the characters or the whole cast in this anime. The entire character and cast is so realistic and full of "normal people" that would we meet in our real life not some overly attached-girl, the little sister that have a thing for his big brother, a girl who is expressionless, or anything that anime provides us oftenly. More than that, In other words, the characters feel real and human. They are filled with multiple facets and glaring contradiction, just like all of us.
In the end, this anime is a good way to represent what a romance anime is. The realistic views is probably the most prominent in Golden time and i think this is how all anime should be especially when they bring ‘romance’ tags. Unrealistic romance makes the love story become cliche and good things golden time isnt like that. So, if you want a good romance with realistic, light-hearted comedy, Golden Time is probably one of the anime that you should watch.
