Art (8): The art in this anime does not look very realistic but at the same thing not too cartoon-ish. It was very well drawn and created, none of the scenes looked awkward like most anime have. All the scenes looked like it was natural, none of it was forced or just stiffly drawn.
Sound (9): Despite not have watched many animes, the voice actor for Taiga, I can say I know quite well. I've watched quite a few anime which she appears in. I must say that she was a very nice choice for Taiga. Taiga is a tsundere character in this anime and in my opinion no one is better fit than her for her voice. Same with all the other voice actors in this anime. I don't think any of their voice were mismatched. I think they did a superb job with the voice coordination. Even the sound of effects were very well done. Most animes go half-assed and have some bad timings with the effects. Not this anime, I can see that they put a lot of effort into this production.
Character (9): The characters in this anime, I must admit, the main protagonist is kind of cliche. So many manga have done a main character that appears to look like a delinquent but actually is not inside. The author tried to portray that looks can be deceiving. Although the characters in this anime may be a bit cliche, the combination is a never seen before.
Enjoyment (10): The only thing I can really say is that, this anime is just down right amazing. I may have not watched many animes but this is by far the best anime I have ever watched and possible the best I ever will watch. I have re-watched this anime over 4 times. Also let me say that, I am a male and I have cried in this anime. Every time I watch it this anime really touches me. If you have yet to watch this anime, I would strongly strongly recommend that you watch this anime.
Overall (10): A must watch anime.
