All of us have watched many high school anime. A guy, a girl, some romance, one confesses to the other and a happy end.
Well, that's not the case here.
The show is a brilliant battle of wits between Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane. For those who have watched, the mind battles between Kaguya and Miyuki were on the level of Light and L from Death Note.
While both the characters are brilliant themselves, it is quite funny to see what big Tsunderes they are when they are actually confronting each other. This show takes the level of personal ego to a whole new dimension.
Each episode is divided into three instances, and boy are they funny. To complement our characters, are Chika Fujiwara and Ishigami. One main thing that somehow manages to make me dislike anime is the less involvement of side characters or focus on just two main people. However, this show does not suffer from this flaw. Whenever something tense or cute is going to happen, Chika will be there or Ishigami will be there to sound creepy and go on and on.
Intensely Cute - if there was something I would use to describe the show, it would be intensely cute. While there is a brilliant battle of wits going between Kaguya and Miyuki, there are so many cute moments that they both have. And believe me, if you are having a hard day, just see Chika's smile or that famous dance of this show(I am pretty sure everyone knows about that by now) and all your worries will go away. I would also like to say that the narrator does an equally good job in keeping the intensity and explanation of the scenes on the right track which I have never seen.
The art of the show is pretty standard, but boy when there is a tense(battle of wits) or a cute moment, the art shows its true colors. For the sound, I would say all the soundtracks for the show that is the background music really fit the corresponding scene. Also, while the opening song is like a declaration of war between the two, the ending song is a peaceful melody that reminds us how much they both love each other.
This show was my favourite show of the season alongside Mob Psycho(Season 2).
I would recommend everyone to watch this show.
Hope you found this review helpful :)
