To be honest, i never wanted to watch this anime and i was a bit board of watching anime in general. Just thinking about watching anime at the time made my head hurt a bit. I only watched the first episode and i thought it was quite boring for an Anime with such a rare concept. To me first impressions mean a lot and i just found it to be not as funny or as romantic as i wanted it to be. After countless months of running away from this anime i finally decided to watch it and somehow i really really loved it.

Story: ... 8/10
I wanted to say that the story in this anime was perfect because that would have been my initial response but after watching the ending i could see little cracks and that didn't quite hold up this pillar. The good things about the story were that the concept was executed perfectly, the drama was done perfectly and that the surprise rift was a genius idea. I also liked a bunch of other things like how they did some cliche anime scenes like the visit at bathhouse, but they didn't make it seem like the average story you would get from the cliches ( They stuck with originality and still kept it in the boundary of tradition). I also like how the main plot began to develop from the beginning of the anime and that itself added 6 points to the story. The first and ONLY gripe i had with the story was the lack of romance between the Urara and Ryuu. I won't go as far as to say that i didn't enjoy those special moment they had but it was too little for me personally and it ruined the character of Urara. I don't know why but every time i see a dandere main in an anime, i tend to root for them but it never seems as though the writers are even trying to make a connection sometimes. In This anime they lack a lot romance scenes and some reviewers say that they make up for it with the memorable ones but that still doesn't hide the fact that their connection is a bit lacking. They could have easily taken advantage of the switching bodies concept and they did to an extent but not enough so that itself brought down my expectations and it took away two points from the rating.

Art: 9/10
The art is great, character designs were great, the colors were great, the scenes were great, EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF ART WERE A THRILL TO WATCH AND I THOSE REVIEWERS WHO GAVE IT A SEVEN CAN SUCK IT. IT IS DEFINITELY HIGHER THAN AVERAGE ART THESE DAYS.

Dragons.. Dragons.. DRAGONS!!!!!. How could i hate this anime? Despite the few cliches in this anime, I could sincerely say with a good heart that you aren't wasting when watching this anime.

Story: Good 7/10
The story follows Ryuugi and Rose as we watch their relationship grow through facing struggles and enemies. After watching this anime i can say that it was very thrilling and that was because it had a great concept to develop on. They developed on a concept of dragons and magical relics which made up for the mediocre vibe that was coming of some episodes. What i also liked about the concept was ... that it was easy to understand and it didn't leave me asking questions even though the anime was a mere 12 episodes. I would also give the conclusion of romance in the story a some points because it's the one thing we need to have in all romance anime but a lot of them sometimes leave it out. Even though the concluding romance was a success, the subject in general was a failure. Rose has a sort of unique character but i never really saw anything special about her relationship with Ryuugi. What I mean is that their relationship was developed okay but there wasn't anything special about it and that can be a turnoff for romance lovers like myself. When a relationship is done poorly in an anime, we the viewers start to look for other characters we might want to end up with the main and that isn't a good sign. I personally don't mind cliches as long as the story was fun to watch but their were some that got on my nerves in this anime. The last thing that annoyed me in this anime was how all the females would have this love for the main character and i see this shit in almost every anime i watch. To me personally, i hate when the main is a chick magnet for ever girl they meet.

Art: Great 9/10
I have absolutely no arguments with the way the art in this anime was done. Vivid colors aren't the only good thing in this anime. it had good action scenes and a unique art style. I especially like the design of Rose and Ai. Sure it may not have those spectacular and beautiful scenes but most of the art was done with originality and and i loved that in the anime.

Sound: Good 7/10 (Subbed)
The voice actors did a great job in this anime but i won't stress on that because they they always do a great job. What appeals to me the most in an anime is the soundtrack. It plays a major part in adding emotion to a scene and it i have to say that it was done good. It was nothing special but it was enough to activate the emotion and tension of the viewer. The reason i didn't give it an outstanding or great rating was because there were absolutely no soundtrack that was broke the average barrier and i just didn't find it to be as effective as it could have been. All the tracks were forgettable and it didn't really scream to me.

Character: Fair 6/10
The only thing that kept me from rating this anime as average was the development of some characters. I wanted to give it a 4 or 3 rating because some of these characters are as cliche as shit. I have seen the same male attitude 4 times this month and i am honestly tired of seen this type of male lead. When i see Ryuugi I picture myself as a kid. I was kind, helpful, caring and at times was helpless and that is okay but i hate the way how some male leads can be so helpless to the point that it comes off as gay. Yes i just said Gay. He reminded me Bell Crannel "is it wrong to pick up girls in the dungeon" but the difference between them was that Bell was a Badass and he wouldn't hesitate to make decisions to protect the people that matter to him. Almost every time Ryuugi faces an enemy, he also faces the conflict of making a decision and the way he struggled with it was hard to watch because he acts like little girl who's afraid of the dark. The next rant i have about this anime has to do with the rest of shitty cliche characters like Eriko, Ai and Misaki. I won't even explain because you must already know what I mean. Although they were really Cliche, i will have to give them points for character design but thats the only super great thing about the characters, everything else are either average or good to a point

Enjoyment: Great 9/10 Overall: Very Good 8/10
FYI. It Passed my excitement bar and i would certainly say that it is a must watch anime and an anime for veterinarians.

Yeah, another great romance anime. Wohhoo!: Oh crap their missing the romance seen again

Story:9/10
Myself Yourself has one of the best stories i have ever seen in an anime and i was impressed at how it caught my attention through out the episodes. They had a hard boiled plot that added an theme of mystery and child hood trauma. I would always feel for each character anytime they would go through a problem and that was one of the key things that got me hooked to this anime. I did read some reviews that pointed this anime out as one of average but i highly disagree. ... This anime portrays a unique style of Show don't tell and it would constantly cause me to ask questions. The simple fact that I asked questions at proves that it was not average. An average anime would be predictable and easily compared. What i disliked about the story however were some of the themes. The drama was done perfectly but when it came to romance it was lacking in a few areas. I will discuss the characters part in it later but the overall view of romance in the anime was a bit dull and boring. There were times were you could see the connection but i never really saw any development of the romance theme. Another thing that hinted this out was the kiss scene which was not there. A key factor of development in an anime is the kiss and if you don't have a kiss then you kind of just shat in the face of romance anime lovers.

Art: 8/10
Art in this anime was done fabulously. I won't go as far as to say that the art made me want to cry, but it does have some great views at times. Their were scenes that would be beautiful and i loved it but it was nothing i haven't seen before.

Sound: 7/8 Subbed
The sound track in this anime was done alright to the point that it added to the atmosphere of the anime but it still lacked in a few areas. The sound track wasn't anything superb but the voice actors did a great job in portraying feelings to each character. I also would give Ami, the voice actor of Nanaka an award because she did a great job in portraying pain to her character. Trust me, these kinds of people make the subbed better than the dubbed anime.

Character: 8/10
The character development was done great in this anime. They developed on the main characters in a way that it actually made sense, unlike some anime that try to drop back stories and expect points for character development{Lamune}. Although they had great development, their were still some areas that were lacking again. Earlier I mentioned that the romance in this anime was done poorly and the characters were a big problem here. Two main love connection in this anime were invisible to my eye until they did an impact scene. I saw how their friendship grew but i didn't really sew any love between any characters. This hurt the anime a bit because at the end the show the how the characters ended up together but we didn't really get romance so it came off a bit forced. another thing I found disturbing was the lack of development with the character of Aoi. She was listed as a main but we never really got to know how important she was in the group. She was just there to be there that also made the understanding of the characters to be difficult.

Enjoyment and Overall: 8/10

Overall, i loved this anime and it is certainly a must watch for drama anime lovers. Although I wouldn't really call this anime romance i would recommend it to romance anime lovers as well.

DAMN! I thought this anime was going to be as good as Nagi no Asukara but i was sadly mistaken.

Story:2/10
I'm going to keep it nice and shitty for this one, just like the anime itself.This anime has one of the worst stories you have ever seen and my life would have been 10% better if i had just skipped this anime. For some reason i finished this anime and felt like the story writers are just shitting on a piece of paper and animating it.The only thing about the story that kind of drags you in is the romance and even that was done really ... shitty. Overall the story was just horrible and it makes me want to throw up the salad i ate for breakfast this morning

Art:9/10

I'm not gonna lie and tell you that the artwork is as bad as the story, In fact the art work was very beautiful and had very vivid colors. It was very solid animation and it was the only reason i continued to watch this anime. The animation is kind of the only thing that matters here.

Sound: 7/10

The soundtrack isn't bad but it they could have done a better job with it. Their weren't any tracks that caught my attention in any way but it does a good job in adding to the atmosphere. I also liked the voicing of the characters and they do a good job capturing how a character feels.

Character: 6/10

The characters all get some kind of development but they didn't get to the level where I actually cared. Like i said the romance was shitty and that includes the feelings of the characters. I wanted to see them develop with the romance and feelings of the characters but instead the go and wipe arm pits with it. I got tired of these characters and the only one i really cared about was Sachi. She was the only interesting one to me and they still did a shitty work developing on her.

Enjoyment: 3/10

3 is pitty work because the only real thing i enjoyed was the animation. Everything else was shitty.

Overall: 3/10

Rating: 7/10
I don't know how but this average, light heart anime was actually fun to watch. OH WAIT! WHERE THE HECK IS THE KISS SCENE AT THE END OF THE ANIME

Story:7/10

The story in this anime wasn't really bad or anything. In fact if i had watched this anime as a beginner i would rate it a 10 but at this point i could see how average it was. I liked most of the romance and drama in the story and it really added to the enjoyment for me. Even though this was an average anime I still found some of it's concepts to be unique. ... I especially liked the direction they took with the ending and how they executed the story. As i said, the romance and drama in the story were great but they did lack of in a few areas as well. The anime was very predictable and i really found it annoying at times. Before watching this anime i took a look at the title, description and genre and i knew what expect when watching this anime. The next thing that i found really frustrating was the ending again. Though i said i liked the conclusion earlier, i still found it to be a bit disappointing. Earlier i said i could predict what would happen but the one prediction that i was actually looking forward to did not come true. The kiss scene was missing and i found that to be really frustrating. It was as if i watched the entire story develop and at the end they just shat on it. They just shat on their story and that is what skipping the kiss scene is like to me. Ugh, it feels like school days all over again.

Art:6/10

I won't say much about the art because you might already might know what to expect. It has vivid colors but it lacks beauty and originality. Basically it was an alright anime for the time it was made.

Sound:6/10

I watched the subbed and to me, the voice actors did an okay job in the characters' voicing. Like i said this is an average anime so don't expect them to be powerful enough to make you cry or pee your self. The do alright and nothing more. Then there is the sound track they used. While watching this anime they really did a great job in filling in music for the romance scenes and drama scenes but then they did something with the music that actually made me want to sleep. I hate it when you're watching a story and for each and every second of the story their is music playing. It felt as if their was background music playing throughout the entire anime and that really made me drowsy at times. It was like watching Lifetime with my mom.

Character: 8/10

You must have already guessed from reading the description that the character development would be good and you would be right to think that to a degree. Most of the side characters get this development with Kenji the main character. You get to understand the struggle each of these characters go through and you could actually relate to some of them. Overall you could just say that the characters back stories were developed nicely but there were a few issues with them. The chemistry between the characters were lacking and in more ways than one. The first way might actually be the animators fault but it still doesn't excuse the few seconds of silence when the characters talk to each other. Sometimes these characters would be talking and every time a character would stop talking there would be like a 2 or 3 seconds of silence. I found that really weird and a bit dumb. It was as if they did it intentionally to fill in the 22 minutes of the anime. The next problem were how bland some of the characters were. Sometimes they would be talking and i wouldn't even care about what they have to say because i would forget it any way. You don't even want to know some of these characters and you don't really want to root for anyone except for Nanami. But even Nanami was bland at times.

Enjoyment:9/10

At this point you might be wondering why i gave the anime a 9/10 rating for enjoyment.Yeah, sure i disliked a lot of things in this anime, but i can't deny that I hate the average childhood story. It's like water in a way, We all know what it tastes like but it's always refreshing at the end of the day. Though at times the music made me want to sleep, i still enjoyed the bond between Nanami and Kenji. I was always rooting for the too because i could relate to them both. Nanime was cute Innocent and Kenji was the nice guy who probably didn't deserve her. I always enjoy these types of relationships and i like it even more when the developed on it. I always enjoy a good romantic anime and i certainly enjoyed this one so that's why i gave it a 9 out of 10 rating.

Overall:7/10

I was pulled into watching this anime when i first saw the character of Rika. I was then hooked to the anime from episode one. This anime portrays a slow yet hard boiled romance between the characters Rika and Yutta. At first i thought i wouldn't be interested in watching a slow romance between two characters because i found the idea tiring but after seeing this anime i thought the idea to be great. I really think that this anime is a must watch for Romance anime lovers and if you're looking for a unique concept then i still recommend this anime. I loved this ... anime soo much and it made me wanna have the Chuunbiyou as well. I spent an entire day being dark at school and honestly i regret it now. Yeah, what can i say other than this was one hell of an anime

LIKES:

This anime brings in a unique concept called the Chuunbiyou. It was also a risky move bringing it in because repeating a concept like this can be tedious. They did a great job of keeping it interesting and honestly i thought it was a genius move. I also loved the bond between Yuuta and Rikka. They didn't always show their romance growing in every episode but i think that was what made it realistic. At that age a relationship won't grow that fast. I also loved the art in the anime. It had vivid colors and some great fight scenes. I won't go as far as to say that the art was outstanding because we see the same great art in other anime. The next thing I absolutely LOOOVVEED in this anime was the character of Rikka. She isn't an ordinary character that you usually see in other anime. She doesn't lash on to the Yuuta every minute and she doesn't she has her own way of expressing what she thinks and feel. I also loved her design. She was like the cute girl that stood out because of her eye patch. some how she always looked cute with that eye patch but then again it could have just been me.

Dislikes.

My First dislike in this anime is more of a personal idea. The fight scenes were great but it was also kind of a let down to me. Every time i would see a fight scene i would be amazed and then i would cry inside because i knew that it wasn't real. The next thing i hated in this anime was the character of Sanae. This girl is just annoying in this anime. She is suppose to be Rikka's servant but instead she is like the exact opposite of a servant. She's like that loud mouth cousin you have that thinks she's somehow usefull but really adds nothing but shame to you. I was never interested in her and neither will i ever be. Jeez, even Makato who only shows up in about 5 episodes was more interesting than Sanae. Uggh. she was honestly one of the worst characters i have ever scene.

Over all though i still think that this is a must watch anime and it is definitely enjoyable throughout. I highly recommend this anime and thats why i gave this anime a rating of 9 out of 10.

I expected this anime to great and enjoyable and that was exactly what i got. The art in this anime ain't nothing fancy but it does an alright job. If your looking for super great action scenes then this probably isn't an anime for you to watch but if enjoy strong female leads and a story that keeps your attention then you should watch this anime. The Story follows Princess Yona as she goes on this adventure to find these special companions that are suppose to protect her. During her adventure she meets many characters, some of which have very unique personalities and you see ... her grow throughout the episode. I have to say that the most enjoyable part of this anime was watching Yona's companions go through their development. Each and every one of them had a unique story and it really helped them grow closer to Yona.

The only issue of this anime that i really hated was the lack of romance between Yona and Hak. I was rooting for them from the beginning of the series but as the episodes progress i grew tired of waiting for their relationship to grow. They put these tiny scenes of their connection and it didn't really make a difference in their relationship. Maybe it grew a little but if they don't develop on it after the series comes on again, they will find themselves trying to force the bond.

DDAAAMMNN! This anime turned out to be much better than i expected it to be. I had this anime on my ' to watch list' for a while now, and i kept adding new anime just so that i can avoid watching the ones that seemed boring and average. I thought that i was going to get an anime that was tediously average but instead i got a hard boiled romance between Yuto and Haruka. Yeah sure we might have seen the average story but don't judge every thing by the cover. You might actually find that this anime can be quite enjoyable. The two ... things that set this anime apart from the average anime was the the enjoyment(10) and the flowing relationship between the to main characters. Some romance anime skip the growth of relationships and try to force it in at the end. This anime made their relationship grow in every episode and you actually enjoy watching them go through all these embarrassing moments and conflicts.
The art was done okay for the time it was made and the story was actually fine. What annoyed me in this anime though was how poorly the side characters where developed and even the main characters at times. Even for an average story, they should have at least developed the side characters a bit more. some characters are only in for about 5 or 6 episodes and that was really annoying to me. I knew almost nothing about yuto's sister and his sensei other than they like to drink a lot. I would have loved to know more about yuto's sister, especially because how unique i find an alchoholic character to be. The next thing that kind of pulled my nerve was the character of Amamiya. We see a great development at the beginning but after she was introduced, it felt like she just started to fade away. She had a role to play after but i never understood her. i thought she was a character that needed a lot more development.
My last problem in this anime is something that not everyone get. When you watch a certain amount of anime it becomes easy to predict things in average stories. After i watched the first episode i already new what would happen at the end and i new almost all the conflicts that they would have to face. The most predictable was Haruka's father. I would literally just watch an episode and call out scenes like every minute. Having said this, i would suggest this anime to veterinarians and not to people who have watch dozens of anime unless you're super into growing romance like me. Although i had many concerns this anime, i still very much enjoyed it and to me that is the key factor to an anime and that is why i gave this anime an overall rating of 8/10

Keeping a story interesting through a 25 episode series is a hard thing to do and you must always make sure that your not too repetitive with the stories. This anime does a great job in doing this and i never thought I'd enjoy it. I first saw this anime on a top 10 romance video and it took me 6 months to actually get around to it because i don't like romance between a short and a tall character. Before i watched the anime i didn't even have an open mind, i was 75% sure i was going to hate it and i have ... got to say that this anime was unexpectedly enjoyable. I loved the concept of the tiger and the dragon and how they were the perfect match for each other. I just loved both of their relationship throughout the series. Every time their friends would face a conflict and i was interested in almost all of their stories. I also liked how unique of a male character Ryuuji was. Some of Ryuuji's qualities were adapted from other regular main characters but most of them were quite unique. This might sound great and all but their was a bit of failure when it came to Ami's character. Ami caught my attention at first but after a while her story kinda grew old and she never really solved her problem. I never even understood what she was thinking. Her character was confusing and it hurt my head a little. The next issue is more of a personal taste rather than an issue. Tragic romance has always made me cry and i never really had a problem with it but the ending was really something i didn't get. Yeah i get that love is confusing and all but if Tiga's Decision still baffles me to this moment. If she had died or was forced to move i would have understood but her decision was like taking a poo on all the build up and hard work. Over all i think that this anime was very good and i hope that it was definitely a must watch anime

The first time i heard about this anime i was a bit let down because they told me that it was about a group of kids. I wasn't that interested because i thought i couldn't relate to a bunch of kids but after seeing this anime i have to say that it was really good. It is definitely a must watch anime. I enjoyed everything from the artwork to the story. The story is great and it had great character development. I was always interested in each and everyone of the characters and i was intrigued by the characters. The most stand out character ... and the one that probably has become one of my top ten anime girls is Chisaki. I was continuously confused about what she was feeling and yet i understood because that is what reality is like. The show was clearly a fantasy anime but the story of Chisaki and the other characters made everything believable and relatable. I definitely recommend this anime.
