This anime is being done by A-1 pictures who either seem to make really good anime or anime that isn’t so good. But so far this one is looking great, at certain points I was laughing out loud, especially during episode 2, when our main ‘couple’, Shirogane and Shinomiya were arguing whether they should go to the mountains or the beach, and episode 4, where everyone could speak french apart from Shirogane. I thought that the funniest part was when Kaguya didn’t know what your ‘first time’ was. I love how overly dramatic and serious the main couple is and it contrasts with the ditzy girl Fujiwara. At moments I found this anime kind of chaotic but not confusing and it just added to the comedy. The story relies quite a lot on the narrator in the earlier episodes, who some people might find a bit annoying, and the internal monologue inside of our characters heads. We know what the characters are thinking but no one else does and they think completely different to how they act, which results in this being a great comedy anime.
A-1 pictures has done a really good job with the animation so far and I really like the character designs as well, my favourite being Shinomiya’s. The characters red and black uniforms looks quite cool and I like the art style as well, even though it looks kind of generic. The opening is great and I feel that you will either love it or hate it and personally l loved it, it doesn’t sound like your average anime opening. I also like the ending and especially the special one in episode 3 with Fujiwara dancing which was really well animated and smooth. I also think the voice acting is great, my favourite being Koga’s voice acting as Shinomiya.
Personally, there isn’t really anything that I can think of that I’m not enjoying about the show, which is very rare. Overall I am really enjoying this anime and so far it is one of my favourites of winter 2019. Start watching it if you haven’t already!
