Art: I guess the only thing the anime has going is the animation. It's basically it's own staple, and that's what makes My Little Monster unique. It's cute, and it's also very clean. It has this stenciled touch that matches the stenciled world that Shizuku thinks she belongs in, and I believe that the anime should tell the story in the main character's point of view and how the main character views the world. 10/10 successful.
Sound: The in-show soundtrack is pretty bland except for the love theme between Shizuku and Haru. It's pretty cute when it comes to their personalities clashing together. The other scores seem either out of place or they're just not what I imagined for this anime at all. However, when it comes to the opening and ending, I just think they're not catchy in the slightest. They're just generic in general, and I can't stand it at all. Pretty disappointing I guess. Score: 3/10
Character: This is one of the first times since beginning to watch anime again that I cannot stand the main character at all. Shizuku is the stereotypical studious girl but done to the maximum degree with makes her extremely boring as hell. She even gets to the point where she's angry because she can't study, but you know she wants to express her feelings to Haru. God, I can't stand people like that! Then, you have her new friends. Natsume is the girl who does not have many real friends because she claims her real home is the Internet. She also gets low grades...but she's cute? I appreciate her supportive nature at times, but she could just be annoying mostly. Sasahara is the kind baseball player, but he doesn't really deliver much character into the group of friends. I think he's cute, but there's nothing much that'll make me say, "Why should I care about you?" Yamaken becomes a main side character for no reason whatsoever. If his only purpose is to break the couple up, then that makes this like any other generic romance shoujo ever. If there are only two characters I like they are, of course, Haru and Mitsuyoshi. Haru is your innocent weirdo who has a tragic past and wants to do right in the world. Plus, he has a pet rooster that he hid in his shirt in the second episode. How do you not? Mitsuyoshi is Haru's guardian and everyone else's guide. He's where the purest humor comes from. However, I can't say that those characters are the saving grace though. Score: 6/10
Enjoyment: The factors that I just explained do play a major factor when it comes to enjoying the show. There are moments though when the show is funny, but the more you get into the series, the more the jokes start to get old, and it's just not that fun anymore. The characters are your tropes and don't really bring much to the table, and the couple is a little deadpan, making you feel bad for Haru nonetheless. My enjoyment rate would have to be 5/10.
Overall: Well, I pretty much said what there is to be said here. Story: pretty much goes in useless circles. Art style is the best thing. Sound needs major creativity improvement. Character needs to be more broad. And all of that would make better enjoyment for the audience. Last score: rounded 6/10
