I thought this anime was great. Maybe not so much the pretty boy-ness involved, but will definitely fun to watch. I don't understand why it's underrated. Even if it uses a lot cliches or redundant things, this anime does it really well. I'm really interested for second season, but I'm not sure they will make a green light for it. As someone had mentioned, this anime was well received from other countries, but not so much in Japan.

Story - 8
Some side stories are little weird, others are very funny and entertaining. Usually, there is always some sort of love story in each episode, and most are nice to watch. Usui is not your typical average man, but rather, a handsome pretty boy who can do everything better than everyone, including Ayuzawa, the student council pres. Basically, usui had not really cared about girls until he first met misaki, at which then be tried to get her attention by being a perverted alien stalker. And thus there began a multitude of other love stories that other People try to get her and usui comes to save the day. Now this anime better have a second season because this anime is really good in terms of romance. Because misaki is so unwilling to admit her love, it makes it all the better when usui and misaki share romantic moments together. The way they ended the anime left a lot of holes open for season two, and for how much credit they are receiving, they surely must make a season two.

Art-8
In a stereotypical high school setting, the art isn't very surprising, but decent. Considering there's no supernatural abilities involving weapons, besides usui being a complete badass, the anime doesn't focus too much on this topic. I have to say though, the pretty boys in that anime really resemble pretty boys. And it's understandable why a lot of guys would pick misaki. She's beautiful as a student council prez, and even better in her maid outfit. I'm really happy that misaki changed into a Juliet outfit and usui as Romeo as they share a passionate kiss in the end. *applauds*

Sound-8
There's nothing too interesting about the openings and endings. Although I have to say the opening has a nice tune to it. Very much so fits the bonds between usui and misaki. Short and sweet, and yet passionate. That is all

Character-9
One of the main reasons why I like this anime is because of how well they develop the major characters, or the people that show up frequently. Misaki is a hard working and strong lady, being able to command others to do things right. She's shy when it comes to love or relationships, which was why usui had a hard time getting with her. Usui on the other hand is completely relaxed with an almost monotone like voice and can do anything and everything better than anyone, and is also the most handsome pretty boy. U could say misaki and usui are opposites of each other, yet they make a near perfect couple. We also get to see a lot more characters who may or may not have an impact on the anime. Strictly speaking, there are some characters who really did not need to be included in order to roll along with the story. And I like how this anime is viewed in misaki's perspective because we get to see her contrasting character from a student council pres to a maid. She can be temperamental sometimes, and can scare the living hell outta guys. Usui doesn't seem to care either way.

Enjoyment-9
This anime is very entertaining to watch. I like the romance and misaki acting as a dictator by beating up all the guys who disrespect. She is also very strong, being capable to defend herself from dire situations, although it is usui who comes to save the day. The romance is always try to hit the point where they kiss, but misaki always tries to deviate from her love to usui. She keeps denying her love for him, but usui knows that she has fallen for him nonetheless. Each episode has it's own unique story to it , and I never find it boring to watch. And it's not always about the love between usui and misaki, but rather how they live under the circumstances.

It's not the greatest anime. But it's definitely one of the more entertaining ones. Such anime like this cannot be easily reorganized in another anime, and it's definitely different from ouran. Even if it isn't a typical real life love story, the most important thing is that it captivates the audience and begs them to watch more, more or less for second season. I'm sure any guy who watches this anime would like to have misaki as a girlfriend, even though she can be extremely scary.
