I felt the same way after watching it. I almost dropped but it turned out to be one of my favorites romance anime.

I remember Fall 2012. Three shoujo came out in the same week and KamiHajime was the only one I didn't watch because I thought it would be cliche and stupid. I started it a few weeks later and it's actually the best one out of the triple shoujo LOL. So creative, likable and funny!

Recommended! It's heavy with classic shoujo anime tropes, yet it was the funniest anime released then (especially episodes 1 and 2), and the best shoujo I've seen since 2012. Glad they decided to make season 2, which will air in the Winter, so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Yeah, it's like one of the shows I can say the cliches are done really well, yet still stays unique!

Looking forward to the sequel!

The cliches. I don't understand what you guys mean by how it played the cliches really well, maybe I didn't pay attention 2 yrs ago watching the show. But what was so different? I also remember getting really bothered by Nanami's VA, found her voice quite annoying, maybe due to the amount of times I've heard her say "Tomoe!". The comedy didn't appeal to me either. None of the secondary characters were memorable. Didn't understand why some stuff in the story happened, the underwater incident, jumping off the building. Stuff like that. Maybe a 2nd rewatch would change my mind.

I guess I can see why people may not like it for those reasons. Although the underwater thing (I'm just assuming you mean the one with the dragon guy) is partly foreshadowing. And I think it was a bit different in the manga.

Lol the show had a bunch of skip-able moments but was still decent, at the very least.

Most of the story stuff is mend-able, but if the comedy fails, then it's that. I liked exactly this, because it's the only one source of this type that uses facefaults excellently - think of Ranma's romantic comedy brilliance minus the hydro-cephalic character designs. Also, you'd be amazed how much the fantasy theme is overused in shoujo manga, for decades, in every possible setting - from smut to psychological horror, but Kamisama, albeit light in content, brought fresh air and made me enjoy it :)

Really? Damn I regret not following the shows airing in '12.

Tonari > Kamisama > Sukitte.

Personal preference:
Sukitte (mainly because of the setting) > Tonari (mainly because of Shizuku, Edit: Also Yamaken ;_;) > Kamisama

For me:

Kamisama > Tonari > Sukitte

Tonari's anime adaptation was like, nothing really happened and it was too comedy-focused. I read the manga too and it does it a bit better. Also a Yamaken fan... ;; Although, Tonari was super fun to watch the first time (I rewatched it recently..)

Sukitte's too cliched and "perfect". Like the MC conveniently gets a hot boyfriend and friends too. The MC is someone I'd find in an American YA (young adult) novel, the lonely "emo" girl who's so different from everyone else. But after a while, I started liking Sukitte more. The SOL feel is nice and I like that Yamato actually has urges. Sakurai Takahiro!!!

Kamisama managed to impress me even if the story was incomplete because I felt like it accomplished a lot and was different from the others.

Yess, I agree. I felt the show was going in circles, and only little happened. It's one of the few romcoms where I enjoyed the secondary cast tho, like Natsume and Sasayan, although not much development on their side.

Goddamn, this one's swarming with cliches. Similar reason for coming to like the show as well, the atmosphere. I'm also a sucker for those types of settings. Man I'd love to live there ;_;.

I didn't enjoy Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun as much as I had hoped. I got the feeling it was different from other shoujo romcoms, but I could never understand the reasons by each the characters' actions (especially Shizuku and Haru).

That being said, I should part start picking up on manga. Watching anime and then reading manga spoilers probably isn't going to cut it anymore.

Agreed, I found Sukitte way better. I even read the manga after finishing the anime, it's even better. Tonari' 1st ep was great but that's it.

Now that I'm bothering keeping up with UBW, I realize that the fans and haters are more insufferable than I thought.

Especially the Fate/Zero fans who haven't read the VN who are complaining because it isn't grimderp enough or something.

Well for starters the story for UBW assumes that you've read the Fate route and it is important, it gives some framing to the whole series. But the real issue is a difference of expectations, F/SN is a completely different story from F/Z, its not about the Grail War itself, like F/Z, its about Shirou and his ideals. Each of the different routes explores Shirou from a different world view: Fate is Idealism, UBW is pragmatism, and HF is Cynicism.

Bad? Lol, no.

Highest points for suspense for most of the show.
The ending was lacking indeed, being based on the weakest possible scenario. In other words, it felt like they threw stuff just to finish the anime somehow. Imagine Shinsekai Yori potential wasted in the last 4 episodes.

Edit: The Info dump was legit.
