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.

Among the rom-com (though I don't personally think it is) genre it feels unique in it's own way, even if beneath the surface is a simple storie about melancholic boy and his little struggle to find a slot to fit in.

Despite being a completely normal storie, it felt unique and nostalgic, and for me that's enough. I don't need fabricade drama, nor excessive plot twists.

The episodes focusing on the second characters are very well presented and even if the storie did changed much till the end, I can say for sure that I'm going to miss this show a lot.

Cloverworks did a well enough job, ... and even if I can agree to some critics, in the end, I still think the show is good and deserves it's high score.

Also, the opening slaps, if you're in doubt about the watching the anime, just listen to the op, it is an amazing song! The ending is also really good too!

Mixed Feelings

The art style is good, I like it. You can feel every single character.

I chose to watch because it is romantic and boy meeting the girl etc stuff.

Why I will not recommended to someone else.
Two reason: It is sad represent of story and the life. Kinda like live your life because the death is coming for you. Be smart how you spending the time, but sometimes the real life is not like the story in this anime... the fate push this situation.

Second: After 4-5 episode they start to add non needed scenes instead to keep the story to going. I see the authors trying to ... feel the story with additional information about support characters but was not need, at least for me.

The anime is good and easy to like it, but making omega sad.

Hori and Miyamura was one of the most toxic relationships I've seen in a while

Hori is an angry girl with masochistic tendencies, but it didn't matter to me. The problem started when she forced Miyamura to beat her against his will, and how did the director show this? what a cool guy!! His schoolmate admires him!

But the problem is even deeper.

In another scene, Hori's father asks her not to treat Miyamura so badly and not to yell at him, and Hori's reaction? Yes, as usual, she said to shut up and continued to rant, which she does throughout the series

Contrary to what the series wanted ... to show, Miyamura did not change at all.
Miyamura remained the quiet and secretive young man who allowed the demands of others to prevail over him. That's why he was able to tolerate Hori so much. Why should it be shown that making many friends will change you?

In a healthy relationship, you give something to your partner and you get something. But Miyamura only gave from the beginning to the end of the series. The end of this show is very cliched and superficial. Hori and Miyamura's relationship did not last long

The rest of the characters do not have much to say. They get lost in the shell of the story and cannot make room in the heart of the audience as they should
Maybe iura can be considered as a good character.

People start a series with different goals, but if you are looking for a deep and lovely romance, Horimiya is not a good choice.
