Who knows; even while binge watching so much anime in one go that they almost all blur together, this one can still make me feel something.
Plot is a pretty simple one; "5 girls fall in love with one guy" was the general goal, but how they achieved it was truly phenomenal.
Each girl gets her own fair share of screen time, so we are never able to find out who Futaro, the main protagonist of the series, ends up with. Even at the end, during Futaro's marriage, the bride's hair color was so ambiguous that it could still have been 3 of the quintuplets. But this show would never have taken off without the characters, whom, surprisingly, complimented the plot really well and made the entire series bloom in wild colors.
Each of the characters are, in my opinion, a role well played. Yotsuba, the happy go lucky little sprite that honestly, probably still has some secrets she's not willing to divulge. Miku, the quiet, mild mannered "geek" who has a love for Japanese warlords and has made it pretty clear about her feelings towards Futaro. Itsuki, the kinda-sorta tsundere who hides everything in her heart and constantly butt heads with Futaro. Ichika, the big sister/actor who really is the only one who has dared to try anything with Futaro. Nino, the definitely-a-tsundere who likes the past that Futaro would never go back to. And Futaro himself, who, despite being a lonely little nerd, seems to have a lot more secrets than he's willing to let on. Each of these characters are unique in their very own way, and really turn this anime into not a one dimensional plot, but six? :P
As I said before, when I feel something for an anime, it, in my opinion, has surpassed my expectations fully. For Bunny Girl Senpai, I cried even before the episode started, knowing what was to come. For Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, I was laughing so hard it was truly reinvigorating to finally find such an anime that truly is funny. And for Quintessential Quintuplets, its a truly great anime that left me breathless and shaking.
On to the second season.
Rate: 9.8/10 (GODDAMN IT ITS SO CLOSE, ITS NOT PERFECT THOUGH)
