Skip Beat is definitely one of my favorite anime shows. I honestly don't normally like most shoujo anime, but Skip Beat is different. This show is on my top 5 because it has a fantastic storyline, fantastic characters, and nonstop excitement. On top of that, it has romance as well...with a twist. Kyoko practically loses her ability to love after being betrayed by the only guy she ever loved. She had basically devoted her life to him so, on that fateful day when she is betrayed, it sets her loose. Kyoko stops being a sweet, innocent girl and goes into show business as Fuwa Shotaro (the guy she liked) already is a popular singer. She stops at nothing to try to outshine Sho. He was cruel and now, he needs to pay in her eyes. What will it take? Will Kyoko be able to rise to the top? Can she really win when she only desires revenge? Watch the anime, read the manga, Skip Beat is fantastic!


The story~
The story is excellent and very unique. Kyoko basically becomes a popular actress because she wants to get revenge on Sho. It starts off like this, but then she changes. Acting becomes her passion, and it's not all about revenge anymore (although she still hates Sho haha). She builds a new life for herself in a way, with new relationships and more.
Art~
For art, I must say this is the lowest point of the anime/manga. The men all have weird, pointy chins although the girls look decent. Honestly though, besides the chins, everything is pretty ok xP.
Sound~

There is lovely music and it always fits the different scenes. Don't have much to say, but the op/ed was better than average.
Characters~
Wow, the characters are something else. Kyoko, Sho, Ren and everyone else become so developed throughout the show. Hopefully, the anime will continue because they grow even more in the manga. The characters are original and thoroughly enjoyable. Even the villains end up fascinating you and aren't extremely cliche and boring.
Enjoyment~
Overall, I absolutely ADORE this anime. I recommend this show to anybody who is looking something different from the typical, boring shoujo. Skip Beat is on my top 5 for a reason! ;O
