Story: 10/10 revolutionary. I've seen quite a few anime and let me tell you it is very difficult for me to get emotionally involved with a story. I can count on one hand how many there are. There are good anime and then there are the legendary anime that I can't put down. This happens to be one. It always keeps you guessing, never wanting to stop, and takes your emotions and brings them to the next level.
Art: 10/10 Sexy. There's nothing too groundbreaking here, but it is very vibrant, full of life, and easy on the eyes. The animation is top notch and there are a few scenes where it picks up and flows very nicely.
Sound: 9/10 Beautiful. Not much to say other than it has a great score with music that will deepen your attachment to the story. I've watched a few episodes in Japanese, then tried the English dub, and must say I prefer the English on this one. The voice actors in here are top notch and know what they are doing, giving unbelievable realism to the characters.
Chartacters: 10/10 Lovable. I honestly thought I was going to get annoyed by Taiga, but there is something about her that puts her among my most revered characters. Ryuji as well was a pleasant surprise in how his character progressed through the show. I loved his personality and could identify with him quite well. All the supporting characters were fantastic. Minori and Kitamura put a lot into the show and really helped it's progression
Enjoyment: 10/10 Will watch again.
Overall: 10/10 Masterpiece. The day after I finished this anime, I felt a sincere longing to re-watch it. It kept bugging me and bugging me until i finally yelled at my brain to quit pestering me and that I promised i would watch it again soon. My point is, this is a romcom that gives you a well-known topic and throws a bunch of curve-balls at you leaving you with a much needed, refreshing take on the genre. It kept me on my toes the whole time and rooting for the characters. You will not be disappointed at all.
