If you came here from the manga, unless you're a generic tsundere sailor don't bother with this anime. Really. The last what 3/4 episodes gave me cancer. And I'm on SS Marika and SS Kosaki.
Let me rant a bit before I go into the review proper, because I need to get this out the way. In all honesty the manga was way better. I wouldn't recommend this unless you have a ton of time and a ton of patience.
Story: 5/10
The story is unoriginal (obviously) but with the characters having way out-of-this-world backgrounds. Which makes it interesting, for like 5 chapters, then you realise it doesn't make that much a difference. Since the anime follows the manga closely in terms of plot you don't actually get any plot progression besides a larger harem because that's essentially what happens in the duration of the first season: more grils with different character tropes to suit pretty much every type of girl you could be into (except lolis). Nisekoi or plot, choose one.
Art: 5/10
The animation/artwork is very SHAFT-ish, which means its 80% fine, with 20% being seemingly awkward looking characters, and a ton of head tilts. I didn't like how the lock was 3D (felt like it to me at least) but everything else wasn't and it distracted me a lot.
Sound: 7/10
Eeeeeeh sound was normal I guess. Kosaki's and Marika's VAs were HNNNGGGGG.
Character: 6/10
Oh damn. I'm trying to not be as much as an anti ship girl as possible but holy crap Chitoge properly made me cringe. Her character was half the time okay and the other half annoyed me. I almost couldn't stand watching episodes with her, but I pushed through. And I regret all the time I wasted. Kosaki on the other hand is the queen of cockblocks. Very very very cute and adorable character but literally she doesn't get anything done plot wise. BUT HER SMILE DOEEE SO INNOCENT AND PURE. Tsugumi felt like a less annoying tsundere. And finally Marika. Single handedly carrying the plot progression. Ruri and Shuu were great supporting characters though.
Enjoyment: 6/10
I didn't really like this anime.
TL;DR:
Read the manga, watch the OVAs if you wanna hear your favorite girl with sound
