| There is such an amount of stupid in this anime it goes quite simply beyond words, so I will stick to the basics: Story: if I thought that romantic animes tend to make everything that happens to those lame drama queen teenagers a matter or life or death, Kimi ni Todoke has gone overboard. What story, by the way? Is this a story about autism? If it was so at least it would have a purpose and it would be promoting something serious. Keyword: Misunderstanding that could have easily been avoided and even more easily been cleared from the beginning. Art is OK, Sountrack was a bit too simplicistic and childish but pleasant. Characters: Should I laught or cry? There are two characters who are savable and they are Ryu and Yano. Kazehaya is only half savable. The rest is trash. Sawako isn't just shy, she has problems. She has hallucinations. She lives in a weird limbo, I don't know. We've all had our problems when we were an awkard mess in middle school, some dealt with it better and some just couldn't cope with school mates, but when you finally emerge from the darkness and people come at you with outstretched hands, ready to start fresh like normal people, you don't just stick to your conviction that everyone hates you in face of all the evidence of the contrary. That only means being stubborn, and Sawako is probably 99% stubborn and 150% stupid (yes I suck at math). Oh, and another 50% tears, because there seems to be no end to the amount she can shed for no reason at all. And in the beginning? Was the start of a new friendship supposed to be this tragic? Who in the world has cried so much and reached such depths of despair for one single rumour and two people who are willing to give you the time of day? I mean, if that is how she goes about getting friends I'm curious to know how's the rest. Enjoyment: NO, I haven't enjoyed myself, and Sawako wouldn't have enjoyed herself either if I'd had the chance to put my hands round her neck at some points of the story. At MANY points of the story. I feel like I have just seen a bunch of cliches stuffed together and pushed to the tenth power. Or maybe maybe maybe! Maybe this is actually the birth place of many of the cliches that you see in anime these days, the source of all evil. Maybe this is the reason Japanese people think that love is so much of a bothersome burden that if you're not driven by the most powerful and pure emotions you're not even qualified to try. This is what I call non-educational. P.S.: the second season is just as useless as the first one and although it LOOKS like it provides closure, it's just another one of Sawako's pointless tiny steps toward finally becoming a normal person, and I can only pity her because if that's how she goes about things then her life will just a nerve-wrecking chain of events that she can barely deal with without crying or passing out or giving herself stress-induced gastritis. |

| Why do you care? LOL |

| the voice acting is peak and gives the show a very good flavor, it's also funny and perfectly dramatic, it may be kinda boring but it really deserves every moment cause it deliver you the clouser you want |

| I enjoyed s1 a lot, but s2 was pretty meh. I am excited for a 3rd season though. It did pick up a bit at the end of s2 and if it stays like that it should be pretty good. |

Because of this long critical article, I’ve decided to watch it myself. I’ll let you know what I think 🤣 |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| I was the most hated kid in my class and sometimes I want to feel like maybe I'll find love someday too even though it's unrealistic Excited to have more of this anime. The characters are so cute |
| Don't know why, but it's the only shoujo manga that makes me feel anything. |

It's one of those wholesome slow burn anime that is actually bearable. Doesn't drag out things for too long.
| @virgulatefob virgulatefob said: Doesn't drag out things for too long. lol what you mean, the whole s2 story was so dragged, the whole plot of s2 was a minsunderstanding that could have been solved with a talk and it lasted 12 eps. Understanding sawakos character i understand why it couldnt be resolved in 1 ep but cmon 12 eps was such a drag. I actually liked s1 and was planning to read the manga but s2 kill all my drive to read it. |
| This was my first romance anime and ngl it was the reason why i got into the romance genre. It is so pure without all that harem shit or fanservice moments that we get in animes nowadays. The soundtracks, art and the openings, everything is just perfect. Yeah, those misunderstandings the mc and the fmc had were little annoying but the again the author portrayed it as real life problems. I LITERALLY SCREAMED IN MY CLASSROOM WHEN I GOT THE NEWS ABOUT S3. |
| At least the portrayal of Sawako is very realistic for me. She has her moments, (I mean we all do) but she is an overall relatable character as someone who finds it hard to make friends and wishes to be understood. I feel like it's more realistic than Komi-san, but this never seems to get the praise that show gets. |
 |
| it has a shy girl constantly simping for her bf, people find this very hot and cute in the same time, literally nothing happens for 30 volumes |
    |
| The way Sawako's feelings are presented is beautiful. Sometimes a really good mangaka can show so many emotions with a single drawing and I think its a really special talent. The director of Yamada Lv999 and Nana also does a similar thing with the way he presents the emotions visually, but Nana has a much stronger story than this one. Yamada Lv999 reminds me a lot more of Kimi ni todoke, though a weaker version of it with its narrative. This is the best romance I've ever seen for the simple fact that it has a lot of feeling and care put into it. A character's heart becoming warm and the description of how they feel is accompanied by the whole screen turning pink and becoming a beautiful landscape. When someone's heart breaks, you can really feel it too. Overall it's just an amazing show, I think it really tries to connect with its viewers and provide something special that only anime can do. |

| One great shojo, it succeeded in all that hachimitsu to clover II failed. |
 |
| ngl I don't really get it neither, probably the nostalgia is taking over ppl's brains. I didn't really like it when I first saw it I dropped the second season. I've heard that this is one of the best romance anime but ngl I don't see it. The characters are a bit boring the only interesting characters was the mains girl's friends but that's about it, the story wasn't interesting, the soundtrack was ok, the animation was ok for its time but overall, it didn't catch my attention. This kind of reminds me of komi can't communicate but ngl they're both mediocre. |
| I always considered this as THE best vanilla shoujo anime, that uses this basic formula (plain girl meets popular boi). |
