Story: When I first started to watch this anime I thought to myself "This is the same plot that is so overused", but that was not the case. There was a strong comedy appeal within the story which was good, and it keep you interested. I believe the story held a very strong meaning, however it seems as if it dragged on to a incomplete end. In my opinion, if this had been a longer series with a better outcome, I would have enjoyed it much more. I gave the story a 8 because I felt as if the ending was not done well at all. What I am saying is that if you want to watch a happy ending try watching something else, In Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun you will find little to no resolve.
Art: I loved the art style, plain and simple.
Sound: Music was catchy, but got slightly annoying over time.
Character: I thought the characters in the story where slightly bland. The characters would develop and then in the next episode simply throw away said development. The relationship between characters did not seem to change much after the first few episodes.
Enjoyment: Honestly Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun was a decent anime. It had its ups and downs, and its horrible ending.
I give this a overall of 7. This is only my opinion, if the series had a better ending, or stronger plot twist it would be much, much better. Although I had to keep in mind that this was simply a romantic comedy series with no major drama. If you are bored and looking for anything to watch, I would reccomend Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun.
