I'm personally not a fan of shows that have no plot whatsoever; but I really feel like Kimi to Boku changed that. I was impressed within the first episode, and after that, I simply fell in love.
The first season did take me a little longer to finish, I was entertained throughout my time watching it. There were times where I was sometimes bored with the episodes, but overall, I was in love.
When I found out that the second season was coming out in the spring of 2012, I was very excited because I had just recently finished the first season around that time; and
...
now that I'm almost completed with the second season (which has taken me so long to watch as I've been busy with other anime), I'm still impressed.
The art was beautiful, the characters (especially the twins), had their own personalities that you could easily enjoy; and I think the best part was that their personalities easily went with each other's. There will be times where the episodes feel so long, but there are also times where the episodes get so interesting that they just fly by and you don't even notice it's over until the ending theme!
Anyway, rating time!
STORY: Overall, the story would have to be a 6. The anime itself really has no plot; as it's about five high school boys who are growing up, and not only are they growing up, but their friendship is growing also. It shows the daily lives of what some high school students do and the fun adventures that they all get to have. Either way; if you're one of those people who are interested in anime that are just about life in general; then you should definitely watch this show.
ART: The art, I would have to give a 6 as well. When I first started watching this series, I was not used to the art at all. I have to admit though, after watching a couple of episodes, I loved the art. It's unique, it's beautiful, it's wonderful, and I just enjoyed it! I think the art really goes with the anime, and I feel like maybe you would agree if you watched it yourself (if you haven't, that is).
SOUND: Usually, I skip the opening theme and the ending themes, but wow, I was amazed by how well the songs fit with the anime itself. I felt like it really described it, and it definitely made me happy to hear it. I never skipped the opening/ending songs, and I'm so happy I did. They were catchy, and I just love how soft and cheery it all sounds! For other sounds; they were great!
CHARACTERS: As mentioned before, all of the characters have different personalities (though most characters have different personalities, correct?). As the anime progresses, it explains how they have been going to school together since kindergarten, and now they're in high school. Yuki and Yuta, the twins, may look alike, but they're personalities were sort of different. Shun's personality, I felt really made their friendship grow better, and I'm sure without Shun, things would be way different. Kaname, on the other hand, was definitely a character that I did not like at first, but as I continued to watch, I fell in love with his character. He may be harsh and rude to his friends, but it shows that he really does care for all of them, and even though it may show a little, you can tell that he would do anything for his friends. Chizuru comes in later and joins the group of friends in an unexpected way; and even though it was surprising, the group gladly accepted him. That's what I loved about it, they gladly accepted Chizuru and all five of them became best friends. The minor characters, such as Masaki (also known as Mary), Azuma-sensei, etc., all have their own little stories; and the best part was that they were all different from each other's and not sound the same like how most anime/manga do it. So for characters? My rate would definitely be a 7.
ENJOYMENT: 7! I enjoyed this anime from episode 1 to episode 13. If you enjoy anime that's about high school boys going through life, or anything about the daily lives of someone, then this anime is just for you.
OVERALL: 7. I have rewatched this anime three times, and let me tell you, it does not get old. Each time I watched it, I felt all cheery and happy inside, and it reminded me of my friends and how we acted and it reminded me how I need to keep my friendship with my friends strong so we can keep going like how the boys do in Kimi to Boku. I highly recommend this anime, especially if you want to laugh and smile!
