Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is a feel-good romantic comedy. It's interesting characters and all the events they're involved in leave you excited, interested, laughing, and ready for more.

Story (7/10):
Overall, this show had a very good story. With each episode you'd learn more about the characters and their backgrounds as well as seeing how their unique relationships develop. I tend to enjoy stories like this where there's no ultimate driving force and you don't know what to expect next. Unfortunately, this show had a quite unsatisfying ending, giving the story aspect the lowest of my scores.

Art (10/10):
The artwork in this anime is fantastic. Everything is smooth, the intro has a unique style that made it memorable, and there's many different outfits and styles thrown in, making it very artistically appealing. I can't think of a part of this anime where I didn't like the art.

Sound (9/10):
All the music and sound effects are very well implemented throughout the show. The intro song is highly enjoyable and the voice acting is fantastic. The only thing I didn't particularly like was the ending song, but that's mostly personal preference.

Character (10/10):
The characters are really what made this one for me. There's not a huge amount of main characters in it, but each character has their own personality that dictates what they do in each unique situation. Haru is easily the most unique character and contributes a great deal of intrigue to the anime. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it there.

Enjoyment (10/10):
I enjoyed this anime thoroughly from start to finish. I couldn't stop watching until I was done. Once I was done, I was left wanting more (both because of the end and how fantastic the show was). I can't wait for the OVA.

Overall (9/10):
This show is one I could enjoy over and over, so anyone willing to watch a romantic comedy, this show is for you. Hope this is helpful. Feel free to give me suggestions on how I can improve my reviews from how I did this one.
