In my opinion, I thought this was an amazing series. Even though it may have a cookie cutter aspect to it, they really did a great job with it.
Story: The story kept me focused on the series as it progressed. With every cliffhanger I found myself pulling my hair and giving a ferocious battle-cry for more. As stated earlier, they did an amazing job with the cookie-cutter aspect of the love triangle (or rectangle for this matter..kind of) as they were able to make it appear fresh and new with each obstacle the main characters dealt with.
Characters: My first impression of Ryūji was that
...
he was going to be the double image of Seiji Sawamura from Midori no Hibi; due to his frightful appearance. But thankfully I was proven wrong and saw that he was quite the opposite in most cases, and that his actions and his very character were believable. I was entertained by Taiga's antics throughout the first season, but during the second half we were shown her true image, the one that's usually hidden behind her tough demeanor. The same goes for Kushieda as well. I originally thought she would just have a minor role in the whole series, like an action character used to give that extra nudge for something to happen. Over time we learned about her feelings and how committed and loyal she was to uphold the values of friendship.
Music: Overall I thought the music fit pretty well. I loved the openings and endings for both seasons as they provided an upbeat or anxious feeling depending on what season you're on.
Enjoyment/Overall: I loved it. I loved the story, the characters, and the fact that they gave the ending justice (in my opinion, because it most cases, romantic comedies have terrible endings). I'm a person who wants to see the two characters show their feelings for one another and share a kiss, and I'm glad to say that I wasn't let down otherwise I'd be throwing tables instead of writing this review. If you're into romance, comedy, and a good dash of drama then I would definitely recommend you to check this out. Hell, I'm a guy and I still felt like I was going to melt into putty during the last few episodes. You know an anime is good when you can make a man hold onto a pillow in anticipation. Good job!
