Story: 9
I really liked the story in Kimi to Boku. I like it's simple school life style and I myself believe that the way the way they went about making this genre work, and not get boring, was really well done.
Normally in a lot of slice of life, school life anime it's very easy to get bored. I'm sure well all know this well. But with Kimi to Boku the story hooked me at the start. The story in Kimi to Boku was simple, yet effective. At the end of the anime I didn't feel the 'void of emptiness' after watching it. Instead, I smiled to myself thinking, "I really enjoyed that."
Trust me on the fact that you'll laugh at the stupid things that happen and the giggles between characters.
Art: 9
For these kind of anime's I always think that it needs to be simple; and that's what Kimi to Boku did. It kept it's art simple and so, it wasn't sore on the eyes. After coming home from a hard day of work you don't particularly want to see vivid colors. The art style in Kimi to Boku was smooth, and I myself had no problems with it.
It's very pretty.
Sound: 8
While watching Kimi to Boku I thought to myself every time I heard a soundtrack play, "I've heard this before..." The soundtracks in Kimi to Boku are very repetitive and so, it at times may not be ear candy. In the first half of the first episode of Kimi to Boku not much music played at all. Though, I believe myself that it was made like that to make the pacing seem slower and to make it seem more realistic. Towards the end of the anime, they play more soundtracks and for me, that's ok. I would've put sound at a seven if it wasn't for the fact that even if the soundtrack is repeated more than a few times, they were good soundtracks. Kimi to Boku used the right soundtracks at the right time and that's not something every anime can do.
The sound effects in Kimi to Boku weren't much to talk about but they were there. They made me laugh too. :)
Character: 10
Wow. This anime made me love every character. There was not one character I hated. The character development in this anime was very good and I became attached to them. What I was in awe about was the fact that even if a character only had one episode, you could still call them a character. They seemed just as important as the main characters and had an amazing amount of character development for such short time that they had.
Enjoyment: 10
There's not much I can say here since I've pretty much already stated above my opinion and enjoyment out of Kimi to Boku. Every end to every episode left me wanting more. It was a very enjoyable anime and if you decide to watch it then I hope you enjoy it too. I remember not being able to wait until I got home to watch this anime. I hope you feel that way also.
Overall: 10
Kimi to Boku is a hit or miss honestly. It's like marmite; you either love it or you hate it. The slice of life genre isn't something for everyone but, even if you dislike slice of life, give the first few episodes a try. I myself don't particularly watch slice of life unless it's striking, and this was. It seems simple yet the comedy and the characters in it will make you smile. The sound is good, the art is cute and smooth and the story is just what a normal highschooler may want their life to be like.
Give Kimi to Boku a try, I really enjoyed it.
