Here i am with my review on Sukitte ii na yo specials.
First of all i must say that i really loved the original series, the characters, plot and all. I got emotionally attached to the characters, was feeling happy when they were happy and was pretty sad when they were sad.
The specials series consist of 10 episodes each 2 min long. During that time Mei reflects on something that's going on in the main series or tells a short side story about her childhood. And there's always her cat Marshmallow who listens to the stories and comments them.
If you expect this specials to be humorous, you'll be disappointed. Almost none of the stories were funny, niether were Marshmallow's comments on them. Marshmallow sees Yamato as a rival so most of his comments are about how he dislikes him.
The art is very very simple as well. The only thing i loved about those specials is Marshmallow's seiyuu - Sakurai Takahiro (who was voicing Yamato as well).
Usually you expect specials to be a nice/funny/touching/whatever supplement to the main series. Even though they really tried to make the specials cute and funny, the series didn't turn out this way. I was pretty disappointed because the main series were really well made and sometimes were so hilarious i couldn't stop laughing, so i expected the specials to be on the same level. I even wondered if there are the same director and screenwriter as in the main series. It's just hard to understand why specials turned out to be so boring and tasteless.
It hurts me to say so, but if you liked the main thing, perhaps you shouldn't watch the specials. For me it was the waste of time.
