Tonikaku Kawaii was a downhill ride for me. It started off great but the excitement faded in the final episodes.
Story: 6/10
I found the concept very interesting; Nasa and Tsukasa get married and from there on you see their relationship developing. It did get boring after a while though. We saw a lot of romantic moments between Nasa and Tsukasa, but it was a bit too much for me. In the end nothing really happened, except for a lot of romantic moments.
On the other hand, we had the whole "moon stone" thing, which hinted that Tsukasa may not be a normal human being. If this would be expanded on in season 2, I'd up the score.
Art: 7/10
The artstyle isn't my favorite, but it was certainly not bad. The scenery was really well animated, but the design of the characters felt a bit plain to me, especially Nasa's character design.
Sound: 5/10
The OP isn't very good in my opinion. It's not recognizable and it wasn't really that interesting. The OST's are like your average rom-com OST's that don't really bring that much to the story. It did accompany the scenes well though.
Character: 6/10
I had mixed feelings about the characters. They were likeable, but a bit too likeable, especially Nasa. He's your typical "nice guy", who's always positive and is easily embarrassed. Those type of main characters aren't really my vibe, but he was not a character I disliked necessarily.
Tsukasa is a nice girl who occasionally had some tsundere moments. There's also some kind of vibe around her that put me off. Maybe it's the whole "not dying after getting hit by a bus" thing.
The side characters played their role well. They were purely there for comedic relief and there were indeed some funny moments. Chitose was pretty annoying to me though, but oh well it's just 1 character in the whole series.
Enjoyment: 6/10
The show had its ups and downs. There were a lot of wholesome moments that I genuinely liked, but there were also some dull and boring moments that made me stop watching it. I was also hoping for some more comedy, but I guess the author purely wanted to focus on the romance part.
Overall: 6/10
It started off as an 8/10 for me, but at the end of the anime I'll have to give it a 6/10. There were genuinely some wholesome romantic moments, but on the other hand some boring ones as well.
I'd not recommend this show to a person who has already watched a couple of good romance anime, since it will probably not mean that much to them.
