Itazura na Kiss is a brilliant series worth watching,
This series is relatively fun to watch, it shares it fun comedic moments and its sad dramatic romantic moments.
Which is why it got a 9 overall, however it was far from a 10.
Now to get stuck into this
Story: 8
This anime features more than one time skip, meaning we get juiced a lot of story.
The story moves at a medium pace so its not too slow to get sick of and not too quick to get lost in.
It moves at just the right pace for a rom/com such as this.
Its not over the top, we get to feel sad when it is needed but a lot of atmospheres are killed suddenly which really tends to annoy me, thus this gets dropped from a 9 to 8 for those annoying moments.
Art: 8
Not as brilliant as you may want it but you still feel the emotions of characters and know when they're trying to look beautiful or when they feel down about their image.
Though rather low quality it is still effective and the art style will grow on you over time
It's no J.C. Staff animation but hey, its still pretty darn good.
Sound: 8
Pretty much any OST will grow on me over time, it wasn't bad for an anime such as this.
The endings were relevant to the moods expressed in the story and they were both catchy.
The fact that they made the openings memorable leaves a lasting impression on you.
However things such as rap songs midway through happy/sad scenes tends to kill things so I'll be giving an 8.
Character: 8
The characters are rather hate-able at times due to their inexperience with emotions, or inability to express themselves, but this is how the story is driven.
It isn't a negative thing but it will annoy you constantly throughout the animes.
Especially when they cry over things you know they got themselves into.
Enjoyment: 8
It had its annoying moments, but overall this anime was addictive, and thats what helps me judge animes, whether it makes me want to keep watching - and it indeed did do that to me.
I would've leaned towards 9 but I disliked the early half of the series.
Overall: 9
Well deserving of a score over 8 but far from a 10.
I suggest you watch this, it is a nice heart warming anime which shares its sad moments.
I well recommend it.
I guarantee you'll be able to relate to at least one of the characters and that's one of the most important things you can ever look for in an anime.
