you should seriously read this if you're curious about this anime: its sucks, however, surprisingly there are good traits.
Story: 3
If i were to rate the first and third couples alone this would be a 1. The first couple has something like a 10 year age gap with Misaki being 18/19 and a first year in university and usami being a fully grown man...its creepy dude. Basically, without spoiling it (even though i advise u to not watch it) usami was in love with misaki's oldest brother however misakis brother was clueless and he eventually married a woman. In an attempt to heal his heartbreak
...
this PREDATOR begins perusing poor young misaki. Misaki say "no" and "stop" and yet he ends up moving in with this creepy little loser so that he can get out of his newly married brothers hair and attend uni. it is truly a story of stockholm syndrome. you watch this poor boy slowly breakdown his barriers and "falls in love' with him. If this anime intended on spreading awareness on abuse it'd be amazing.
Then we have couple number two, the egoist. THIS COUPLE IS ACTUALLY GOOD. I got into it if im being honest. Its thanks to this couple that i didn't quit the entire show I mean wow their is actual passion. The couple consists of a heartbroken Kamijou and an enthusiastic Nowaki. I'm actually not entirely sure if this couple was as interesting as I remember it since anything is intersting compared to the other couples. Theres a lot of miscomunication and cheesiness but at the end of the day it made my heart ache so thats why I give the story a 3 overall.
Then there was the dreadful terrorist couple. i mean i felt gross watching this. Its a 35 year old man and a 17 year old boy...someone call the police immediately. The 35 year old is a divorced uni professor and plot twist: the 17 year old is his ex wifes brother. you got that right: his BROTHER IN LAW. I mean what? and the worst of all of this is that there is a scene where the older man pins the boy to the floor and starts touching him and it is grouped with sharp angles and eerie sound effects...it was clearly not meant to be viewed as a romantic scene so my question is, what was the point of romanticising it at all anyway? its clearly gross. i dont get it.
art: 2
I guess for it's time the art wasn't that bad but i've seen animes with better art than this from early 2000s so I not cutting it anymore slack. the art style somehow makes this anime even creepier than it already is. Like the faces are giant, everything is disproportioned....idk it was weird.
anyway, this is as much as im willing to write. If you plan on watching it as a joke with friends as I did then go ahead, there is a ton of stuff to mock.
