It's been a while since I've written a review. Inu x Boku SS is the perfect anime to break my silence. This anime sat in my watchlist for a few years, probably due to the fact the cover art just doesn't look interesting. I randomly selected it to watch this morning and binged the show the entire day. I was grabbed by the first episode in which a house burglary revealed the main cast to be something other than human. But I stayed for the cute butler/man/dog with heterochromia. Appearance wise he reminds me of Tomoe from Kamisama Kiss (one of my favorite anime to date). The love story between butler and snotty schoolgirl actually developed a great deal of depth over the series. It wasn't a purely physical connection and teenage hormones, but a story of two people who fell in love with the others insecurities and mysteries. I knocked the anime by one point for the primary love story being between a high school girl (perhaps 16 years of age) and a 20 year old man. Had they both been older and past their developmental years I wouldn't bat an eye, but something about an immature high schooler (true she is portrayed as more mature than the average) being groomed into a relationship with a 20 year old... yeah it just doesn't sit right with me.
