Mysterious Girlfriend X. What hooked me to watch this was, of course, the drool tasting. This series made me more open-minded to watch romance-ecchi, since this was ecchi but has a good storyline.

What makes this anime different from others is its uniqueness. Drool as bond is not something a couple usually has, and drool tasting is something you can't see everyday. Now, on to the details.

This review may contain spoilers.

Story: 8/10

Honestly, after seeing "ecchi" in the tags, I thought this anime was about sex, but man I was wrong. The story is surprisingly really good. It's not based on sex, though you can sometimes see ... Akira loosing control, since he's in puberty and he has a girlfriend. The story is about how Akira, live his lovelife with his mysterious girlfriend, Urabe. Urabe's not your ordinary girlfriend. In fact, she's one of the weirdest girls I've seen in anime. But the plot is solid. There are scenes that made me emotional, laugh, and surprised.

Art: 7/10

The first episode, I thought that the art sucked, but in the long run I realized that the art contributed to the uniqueness of the anime. It's kind of an old-style looking anime, comparable to Ranma 1/2 or Dragonball Z, but there were looks that I really liked. I liked how the following characters were drawn:

Oka, Urabe (with her other hairstyle), and Youko.

Sound: 8/10

This rating might be a bit biased, since I'm a sucker to Violin, Cello, and Piano music. The producers did a pretty good job in providing background music, since the BGM matches the atmosphere of a particular scene.

Character: 10/10

My expectations were met (and blown away) by Urabe's character. Since the title of this anime was "Mysterious Girlfriend X", I really expected that the female protagonist should be weird, and Urabe's character was right on the money. Other characters like Oka, Ueno, and Akira portrayed the "high-school student" role very well, especially when it comes to love and dating.

Enjoyment: 9/10

I really, really enjoyed this anime. The drool thing was very amusing. Made me laughed a lot. This series also made me think and reflect deeply on situations related to love and dating since I never thought of drool to become a couple's bond.

Overall: 8/10

Mysterious Girlfriend X really reached my "must-watch list". I enjoyed this series a lot. I recommend this to anyone, especially those who just started dating.

Ecchi with a good plot. A "decent ecchi" perhaps.

This is my first review, so please bear with it.

I originally thought that this anime was all about sex, physical contact, etc. But I was surprised that it was more than that. I admit that it was because of the fan service I started watching this series.

Story: 8/10

The series has a very good plot. Their were scenes that made me happy, sad, surprised, and some even got me in the mood. There's something about everything in this anime - Romance, Comedy, Harem, Love Triangle, and Drama.

... Art: 8/10

The art was good also. The characters are drawn the way an ecchi-anime-lover likes. I really liked Ako's hairstyle, Mikuni's eyes, and Riko's band-aid on her cheek. Because this is an ecchi anime, you'll expect that the female characters are very feminine.

Sound: 9/10

I would give the sound a score of 9, since the background music really suites the atmosphere/emotions during specific scenes. There are emotional scenes, and the producers did a great job in providing the soundtrack.

Character: 7/10

The characters were pretty unique, especially the teacher. To be more specific, you will somehow find a type of paraphilia in every character. Lolicon, mammagynophilia, exhibitionism, cosplay and eroge, and even urolagnia (in a funny way).

Enjoyment: 9/10

I really enjoyed watching this anime. I got hooked after watching the first episode. It was very amusing, and it really got me. There were also emotional times, especially in episode 11.

Overall: 8/10

It was a really good watch. It has reached my "must watch" list. Other reviews (from other forums) say that it was typical, boring, and a waste of time, but I disagree. It blew my expectations away. Although it haven't reached "Makoto Shinkai-level" for greatness, it reached mine.

I would really recommend this, especially to ecchi lovers, and to those who ran out of titles to watch.

I myself, like ecchi, but no so much. I prefer mature/serious romance.
