I would be reviewing Golden Time. A Nice Romance Anime.
I could re-review the first 2 anime series called “Diabolik Lovers/Diabolik Lovers: More Blood” but sadly, I am not going to do that. Why? If I did, I am going to lose my damn mind and I might MURDER someone!
So…
Never.
Again.

**STORY**
Once upon a time in Japan, A young student named Tada Banri started college and was met with a rich girl named Kaga Kouko. They became friends… that’s only the beginning.
It’s a complete solid good story. It’s well written I may add. The amnesia thing is
Little messy at first but it gets better as it progress. The relationship between Banri and Kouko is helluva roller coaster ride.
My biggest problem with Golden Time is the ending. The ending pulled somewhat a Deus Ex Machina. That which really hurts my giving score.
7/10

**ANIMATION**
From the studio that gave us Toradora, It’s also solid and nothing has change since then and I have no problem with that.
However, the animation taken a little step backwards after the 1st half of Golden Time. It’s okay for me.
8/10

**SOUND**
Some people have problems with this anime for the 1st opening to be upbeat and not fitting to Golden Time. I have to say screw the nay sayers. I like the upbeat song chosen for Golden Time. The 1st opening song is to remind you that this is not just dramatic romance story but also comedic.
The 2nd Opening song is also good which means the series is getting more serious but still fun.
Both Openings are no problem, including the endings.
The OST is amazing. The sound director knows what he’s doing on which part gets serious and other is up beating.
Overall, Sound department is awesome.
10/10

**CHARACTER**
For a story that is solid good, which makes all the characters in Golden Time is well in-depth.
Many people have problems with 2D-San who shouldn’t be there. I say he should be there for the sake comedy relief and also the best friend everyone should have. 2-D is the man! You’ll see why as you progress through Golden Time.
I have not seen Nana’s anime NANA to be here but I have to say NANA to be here is also awesome supporting character. Even though it’s proven she’s not canon to be here, Nana-san is awesome.
9/10

**VERDICT**
This is may not the best anime review I have done and may look pretty rushed that’s because I have so many review projects to work on and problems with RL. That’s okay though. My details for each category may not be much but my scores for each one are very honest and says a thousand words. I have to give this high recommendation for those who loved romance animes. To those who are not into romance comedy that I would give a solid a stream.
My last saying for this anime is a pretty awesome roller coaster ride. A ride you may never forget.
VERDICT: 8/10
RECCOMENDATION: BUY
