Mixed Feelings
It's late May, I finally get some free time. Lying down in my comfortable bed while watching the beloved and highly acclaim rom-com of 2020, Tonikaku Kawaii. But I do not feel relaxed a bit watching this boring show, in fact, I was so annoyed that I'm writing a review about an interesting concept that fails to deliver due to executions.

Yuzaki Nasa always has a complex about his name. So he tried really hard studying to live up to it. But fate has no mercy, one day, while walking to the convenience store, he met the love of his life. So dazzled by her, he immediately ran across the street not noticing a truck-kun running at max speed. Right before it can turn him into a pancake, the mysterious girl uses her body to shield him from the truck like superman and saving him. With his leg and several bones broken, he still chase after her and confess his love. The girl agrees to date him but only if they're married. There our love story begins.

While many finding the premiere to be interesting, I feel really cheesy and never be ultilized to its full potential. Tsukasa, the main's love interest, is built as a mysterious girl that has unusual background, but it has no weight in the story. Make one wonder why they include that in the first place. Manga reader might argue that it does matter in the long run but right now, I'm just reviewing the anime.

But even that not the main point I wanna make. Our main character, Yuzaki Nasa, is extremely annoying. He yells every time something good happens, acting like a shy little girl. He's 18, but his decision making is 12, built as top-class student with mindnumbing communication skill, he's still indecisive in everything. Yet sometimes he's manipulative, sometimes downright an asshole to his lover. He really believes that wedding ceremony is not needed for his lover. Such an inconsistent character. How can anyone relate to him is more of a mystery than anything in Tonikaku Kawaii.

There's not much I can say about the girl, Tsukasa is every weeb's dream wife. Emphasize on 'dream' cause she can't be real. She's caring, understanding, never talking back to her husband and praising him about every little thing he does. I'm not kidding about the last point, she monologues her thoughts about how she loves him in everyway because the viewers is dumb. They can't possibly understand simple storytelling. So the producer let her spew out everything.

The side cast is not much different, they are thin as my love for life, you can hardly feel anything lively in them cause they're fucking NPC. They are there reading their default line to help the story move on. And even so, the story barely moves, nothing really happens or changes during the course of 12 episodes. The characters are exactly the same.

While I enjoy the osts, I can't say the same for the visual. They're average like the quality of this show.

Overall, you can safely takes my words and avoiding this anime. Hell you can even thank me later. I'll be waiting.
