Honestly I give 10/10 in respect for the manga and Rubico. ANd I may reviewing Tonari no Kaibutsu as OVERALL (which is mean I include the manga since it is impossible to review the story without finishing it imo)
Tonari no Kaibutsu-Kun is totally a masterpiece!
The bad thing about the anime series is that it was forcefully cut the story halfway (not even halfway! I am so damn pissed) when the line still far from mature. That last episode (which is not in the manga) was totally something that cut the anime and leave it hanging like hell.
Seriously, just finish the whole story instead of cutting it off and wondering if the second, the third season will come. It really a beautiful and emotional story.
What I love the most?
The character! I can't say enough how each of every character have their own portion in the story and they are linking each other in the most reasonable complicated way. Each character introduced nicely with their own background. Which is then their background make reasoning why their attitude towards other character. I cant believe Robico can think of something as detail as this. Remarkable.
The story! Yes it is awkwardly so beautiful. Haru and Shizuku is definitely the best couple in my entire anime universe. I am so damn jealous with them but I feel happy for them at the same time (just like Natsume-chan I would say)
Yes! I was so connected with the series that after I finish the series in a day I continue finishing the rest 43 Manga Chapter in two nights)
The story and the relationship between Haru and Shizuku made me cry in joy. It is so beautiful *tears
Shizuku is truly a solid character. Very mature, independent, dependable, smart, carefree, but at the same time loveable, and unique. Haru is as strong as Shizuku as a character, they fill each other EXTREMELY WELL. What I love the most of them as a couple is that they are very frontal to each other in saying their feeling towards each other.
Their relationship develop NOT in a magical way and thats the reason why I am sticking with series the entire way. The romance flow.
And honorable mentions to ALL SIDE CHARACTER. All of them fill what kind of character that missing from Haru and Shizuku and fill all the hole (mention Sasahara, Natsume, Yamaken, Mitsu, Andou)
Well...I cant tell you enough how GREAT is Tonari no-Kaibutsu-kun is.
PLEASE, TO ALL OF YOU AUDIENCE....CONTINUE THE STORY FROM THE MANGA BECAUSE THE ANIME SERIES ENDED IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY. IT IS FAR FROM THE BEAUTY. NO JOKE.
Art:
Well I am actually a shounen manga but to be honest, Tonari no Kaibutsu is a shouju manga with a shounen influence illustration (what the hell am I talking, whatever)
Things are so vivid and so lively and seriously not disappointing at all for regard of the manga works. It doesnt missing all the details the manga had from what I see as well.
NBL Shizuku eyes are something that I cant get over with >.< Man she is so adoreable.
Sound:
I love Shizuku voice. It really ensemble her character in the most realistic way. It is easier for me to follow the manga after watching the anime. For Haru, I just think that his voice (seiyuu) a little bit too lively compared to what I feel from the manga. It should be better if he got toned down a bit but I still like it as well.
Q&A Recital, haha damn it bring a live to the series, seriously I really like the opening of the anime.
DONT FORGET HOW GOOD IS"TETSUKAZU NO KANJOU" really connecting the feelings * I feel like crying again.
I just finish the manga today and I still really sad that it comes to end like this. I just wish great manga or anime never ends. But yeah I don't want any conflict anymore in between Haru and Shizuku sooooo I will CONGRATULATE them from the bottom of my heart and close this series with peace T.T
MASTERPIECE! Well done Rubico!
