I have to begin with saying that Lovely Complex is my favourite anime of all time EVER, but I'll try my best to make this a 'fair' review and not too biased.

First off, the characters - probably my favourite part about this anime. The two main characters both have 'height complexes' - the guy is way too short and the girl is way too tall. They're both very self conscious about this, causing them to always fight with each other but in a friendly kind of way. Risa then realises she is in love with Otani, and the anime basically revolves around her trying her best to get him to recognise her feelings. But it's not that simple. Otani, is completely and utterly oblivious to Risa's feelings even if she comes out and says it bluntly.

Risa is a great character - she's hilarious, stubborn, always throwing tantrums and getting angry at Otani because he is so dumb. But she's also really cheerful and talkative, and her and Otani get on really well as friends because they share the same interests e.g in music.

Otani is also a fantastic character - he's also funny, arrogant (he always acts like he's really cool when everyone disagrees), defensive of his height, he gets embarrased easily but this is just him on the surface. Underneath this, he's really really sweet and a genuine, caring person - and I think I like him so much because he reminds me of myself (???)

This anime is seriously so funny, I've rewatched it many times and from the first episode it has you laughing and smiling and you never want to stop watching.

The chemistry between the two main characters is really, really interesting for me. They hate eachother one second then the next second they're best friends. And when they finally get together (not really a spoiler, you knew it was coming) they're such a cute couple in their own way!

To just add on - some people don't like the art, and I can see why, because at times its not amazing, but I find the characters are cute and I actually love the soft, natural colours used. The facial expressions are so over the top making them hilarious. The opening and ending songs are catchy and I loved them, having said, they're nothing special to be honest - but the lyrics relate to the anime so it's cute.

I seriously doubt you'll find an anime like this one - the characters, the story, the jokes, the romance, the EVERYTHING is unique and just great. I enjoyed every second of it. If you're looking for an anime like this - look no further! You have to watch this one!
