Horimiya

On the surface, the thought of Kyouko Hori and Izumi Miyamura getting along would be the last thing in people's minds. After all, Hori has a perfect combination of beauty and brains, while Miyamura appears meek and distant to his fellow classmates. However, a fateful meeting between the two lays both of their hidden selves bare. Even though she is popular at school, Hori has little time to socialize with her friends due to housework. On the other hand, Miyamura lives under the noses of his peers, his body bearing secret tattoos and piercings that make him look like a gentle delinquent.

Having opposite personalities yet sharing odd similarities, the two quickly become friends and often spend time together in Hori's home. As they both emerge from their shells, they share with each other a side of themselves concealed from the outside world.

With this anime pretty much being my first dip into the SOL romance rabbit-hole, I'm obviously a little biased with this rec but, I still love this show as much during the first watch. one of the reason its so high up on my list is the replay value steming from the fact that the anime making it so cool to just see the characters interact in the simplest moments because of the way of interacting keeps the viewer engaged into the conversation that they are having. one of clover works masterpieces as it feels like the manga panels starting moving, with magnificent colors to ... back it up.

But the main reason of this show being so good is the characters themselves. all the supporting characters are still fleshed out and feel like human beings, and have flaws that hinder their surrounding relationships. and as Hori and Miyamura make more friends, it shows that these high school anime characters feel real without being boring, which many anime have not really pulled off from what I watched .(I know others have done it do come at me 😭)

horimiya is a good watch for newcomers to the genre and hardened romance veterans alike.

I will give this anime 6/10 (Fine) for a school/romance themed anime.

Romance: 5/10 (Average). I mean, it is there, you will get main characters being in love, mundane high school romance. You will empathise with the main characters only if you are lacking romantic interactions in real life.

Characters: 5/10 (Average). Characters do not develop during the plot. All male characters have nearly identical personalities, only their crushes are different.

Plot: 6/10 (Fine). It doesn't really have a plot. You are rather presented with a handful of funny situations the main characters will find themselves in. Some of them are actually fun to watch, but nothing ... really stands out. Just high school students liking each other and being awkward.

Visual: 7/10 (Good). Good animation for its genre. Perfectly fits "slice of life" theme.

Summarising, if you are not romance-deficient, don't watch this. Otherwise, yeah, it'll slightly warm your heart.

I don't get how this anime ended up on anyone's favorites list. Is it the animation, art style, or voice actors? Because it definitely can't be the plot—it's nothing special. No climax, just a regular couple with a plain story about a quiet boy and loud girl. Usually, I'm so in love with those kinds of plots but this anime somehow managed to ruin it. I found myself more interested in the side characters' romantic stories, which says a lot. It feels like those who love this anime haven't watched many other romance anime before. It's more slice of life than romance—something you can casually ... watch, but it doesn't grab you. Somehow, it managed to keep me bored throughout all 13 episodes. I only finished it because I wanted to know what the hype was about, but honestly, I still don't see why people talk about it.
