What i particularly love about this anime is that instead of a wacky alien,monster,disease or just some other absurd premise its a simple romance story. Guy lives in apartment building,new managers beautiful, love at first site yada yada. Now that sounds like it could be potentially boring but its not, the fact that it's so simple is refreshing, it surprises you in a realistic and relate-able fashion.
When i watch anime most of them take on as silly and humerus a concept as possible but with this one they take two normal people and have them struggle with pretty normal situations with some almost real people. With obvious character traits existing for comedic effect you realize there not real people but the things accented upon are all possible and the idea this could happen to anyone really pulls you into the story i feel.
The animation and sound is as most anime of the 80s was, hand drawn and full of bright primary colors. If you like soft atmospheres and cheery color schemes this is a good watch for your eyes. The characters are all very uniquely drawn too, it is a special anime in the way they didn't just recycle 80% of each main character to make all the other characters. When you look at this anime you just get nostalgic and it bring your head into this upbeat and positive place. There is something about watching the underdog struggle for his love that speaks to all of us on a personal level.
When watching this my enjoyment was at one of its highest peaks, you can't not love the tale of Godai and his quest for love. Watching him go from nothing to something all for the sake of love is just such a human experience that you cant just become enchanted by this show. I recommend this highly to anyone who loves romance comedy's and is not going to complain about the classic animation or corny/dated 80s retro feel of it all.
i wish the scale went just a little higher for this anime.
