DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT JUDGE THIS SHOW BASED ON IT'S ARTWORK. The art makes this anime look like it is another shoujo with real cutesy and fun characters and plot. I assure you, that is not the case. In fact, this anime is all but that. I have judged this anime before even giving it a try and I'm so sad I haven't seen it earlier. Now, that been said, I can review it.
Story 10/10
The story follows Sana, a middle school student, who is also an actor in variety shows etc. ( read the synopsis xD ) Now what makes the story great is the fact that this show deals with some serious life problems and relationships between various people, be it family members, love interests or friends. It is also a show that portrays growing up exactly the way it is. The comedy is good, the drama is amazing. To be honest there are some ups and downs in the story, meaning I would have loved if the story progressed faster at some points ( the newyork arc for example ) , but I had no problems with it progressing the way it did. There is a lot you can learn from this show if you are younger and there is a lot of feelings and life lessons you can be reminded of if you are a little bit older.
Art 8/10
Well it is an older anime and I always think older animes could've had better animation, but it is far from bad. I actually found the animation very fitting for this story and I liked it, hence 8/10.
Sound 8/10
Openings and endings were ok, exept for that one ending which was very inappropriate, since it begins with 'everything's ok' when nothing's ok xD but apart from that, everything was fine. As far as the voice actors are concerned, all fit very well, exept for the lead's, Sana's, voice actor - I do understand that Sana needs a high pitched voice actor, considering her personality and all, but the voice actor that did her voice was, to be honest, really annoying and I couldn't get used to her voice at all. But that's my personal opinion.
Character 10/10
Man, I could go on and on about the characters in this show, they are all amazing. I'll be brave enough to say that the characters are what makes this show, more then the story. You have all the possible characters you'd imagine in this show, from miserable human beings to super strong people who deal with all that's come their way. Characters in this show are amazing and I've come to like almost all of them :)
Enjoyment 10/10
Now, I'll say this, I'm a 21 year old women and I have been reminded of so many things while watching this show. Did I enjoy it? Of course I did.
Overall 9/10
I have loved this show from the start to the end. Such a beautiful show that deals with human relationships in such a manner. This is a great show, I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good slice of life, comedy or romance. If you haven't seen it yet, then what are you waiting for, stop reading this review and start! :D
