The synopsis doesn't do this series justice. You heard me, a lot of us decide on whether to watch a show or not based on the synopsis, so I thought I'd just give a heads up.
In describing this series with a single word, I'm going with "refreshing". The series is another one of those pseudo-romance shows where it does have bits and pieces of romance here and there but it isn't really the center of it all, well as far as it's 24 episodes spanned that is. This show is more about realistic drama and "actual" funny comedy. Realistic you ask? It's realistic because it's relatable and it's not over-the-top melodramatic shit. By actual, I mean no boob humor and cliches.
The characters are awesome and they feel connectable and humane. They aren't stale like all the other standard MCs. Another bonus is that it isn't really just about the MC and his girl, the cast really feel like a cast where-in they all play a part and add in something to the story. I'm sure we're all sick and tired of side characters created for the sole purpose of fan service and comic relief by now, so have no fear because the ensemble that makes up this one is far from that.
The art and animation are awesome. Very modern, crisp, vividly colorful and fluid. Not much to say about that. As far as enjoyment goes, I was hooked from the very first episode and finished the whole series within a day. I'm sure you all know what that means. *wink* I rated this a 9 because honestly, my only complaint with this show is the fact that I wanted to delve in deeper into the "romance" part of Mashiro and Kanda's relationship. :3
