I'm giving this anime a rating of 5, not because I personally feel like it deserves it (honestly I'd like to give it a 1) but because I feel like a 5 is truly representative of what people as a whole think of this show when they watch it. Skimming through the list of reviews you'll find mostly either 9s/10s, maybe some 7s thrown in, and then a lot of 1s and 2s. People will either love it, or absolutely hate it.
It all basically comes down to one thing, are you the type of person who loves to root for the underdog, who goes
...
for the all-truistic self sacrificing heroine, do you want a couple to stay together and end up happily ever after, despite the struggles? Then this show is not for you, you won't find any of that in this show.
If you're okay with characters who have no code of ethics or morals and just do what they want, characters who are people pleasers and just all around flawed wrecks of human beings who can't quite deal with life, then you will probably be one of those people who love Rumbling Hearts.
If you're looking for a feel good romance anime, with memorable characters then please, watch something else.
If you want ridiculous amounts of drama, sex scenes, and less than perfect characters then this is the show for you.
Ultimately I watched this show and absolutely hated it, it was one of the first animes I watched, and even though its been a good 5 years since I've watched it, my anger and frustration with this show has not subsided in the least. I guess it's because I'm too much of a romantic, I want people to do the right thing and can't really tolerate people who are selfish and consistently do the wrong thing. I think that is where a lot of the low scores for this anime come from, people who just can't get pass the moral and character flaws of these characters.
