Every single one of the short episodes made me smile and think: 'ah, that's so nice~' and 'everyone should be able to experience such care and love!' Especially episode 9, oh gosh how adorable!
The art is kind of simplistic, but therefor not distracting from the dialogue and the setting. To me, this enhances the everyday feel that it gives, making it easy to connect and sympathize with the characters.
The characters have realistic appearances and personalities. We see good and bad sides of people, and how couples react to them. It made the 10 episodes diverse to see.
The episodes went by so fast, before I knew
...
it I had seen them all! I could watch twice the ammount and still enjoy them.
My overall enjoyment watching this series urges me to give Honobono Lob 8/10! Go watch it, it won't take much of your time and will make you smile!

TLDR:
I can recommend this anime to any anime fan who enjoys to be taken by surprise, but who can stick through a few slow-paced, predictable episodes first. Hang on, it will be worth your time!
Story
Let's be completely honest and not act like the first few episodes of the anime were spectacular. It went as expected, with many different characters to introduce it is hard not to focus on 'heroin/one guy' until everyone has met and some bonds have been created. I must admit however, that the plottwist near end had me completely surprised and thrilled until the very end! This truly made up for the
...
clichés used in the first half of the series. Therefore I'm giving the story a 7/10.
Art
If anything is absolutely stunning about this series, it's the art. With the magic element that flows through the story I had a high expectation of the art and the representation of talents. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed one bit! 10/10
Sound
The variety of voices were a great combination in the songs sung throughout the series and suited their characters well. I must especially compliment the voice actor KENN who voiced Suminomiya Aoi for his portrayol of the character as opposed to his singing voice. Also, the English singing in this series was quite impressive. It was not of English native level, but one can not expect such a thing from Japanese voice actors. Giving sound a 8/10.
Character
In this reverse-harem of course there should be a variation of different personalities as to appeal to a broad audience of spectators. I for one was not impressed by the selection of typical characters such as the 'king', the 'playboy', the 'gloomy lonesome guy' and so on. However, the sincere and mostly realistic dialogues in which the characters portrayed their feelings for the heroin and gave a little more information on their background so we could relate more, balances my score to a 6/10.
Enjoyment
There was a mixture of feelings that took hold of me while watching the series. I cringed, quite a bit, to be honest. But other than that minor negative feeling, I enjoyed myself quite a bit. I laughed and appreciated the light-heartedness of the first half of the series, while also holding my breath and feeling a pang of sadness in my heart at the plottwist near the end. It wasn't a rollercoaster, but I had suspected a ride of glee, laughter and sensation, and got exactly what I came for - and more! 10/10 for this one!
Overall
I was a tad biased when starting this series. Having watched a ton of reverse-harem series and music themed series, there's only so much that can surprise me at this point. The story, albeit a bit cliché, hides a secret spike of excitement that makes for a enjoyable series with at least one if not more characters to root for in their journey to romancing the herion. This series get's a 8/10 from me. Now, go watch it!

I find it amazing how well this animation managed to thrill me in such little time!
The background music and instant car-chase were perfectly combined and although it's a shamel there's little to no information gained about the three main characters (other than the girl's having a really bad day and they all love to chase urban legends), the created world around them is introduced amazingly well in the slightest of sci-fi themed details of the modern art-style animation. It was a delight to see the changing of the driver in the car and how the districts change after a period of time, making me crave
...
for more information of what year it is and what technology humanity has developed. It manages to pique your interest really fast, kudos!
I love it, giving it a 8 out of 10! Wishing there to be more!

I couldn't have asked for a better ending! This OVA, albeit short, definitely meets the expectations as it rounds up the lovely story of Nanami and Tomoe finding their way in a life spend together. It's the good ending I've been personally rooting for since the start and I'm very pleased to be given the actual animation of my preference.
The art and music was as great as ever and together with so many characters this OVA felt truly nostalgic. It was great to see the people who helped them along their journey to join them in the end one more time. The OVA was able
...
to let me relive all the joy from the entire series in as little as 13 minutes! A job well done!
If you've been following the Kamisama Hajimemashita series from the beginning, be certain to watch this final piece for it will give you the fullfilment you desired all along!

This story caught me totally off-guard! Pantyhose just totally changed in my eyes. I will never be able to wear them again without being reminded of this passionate story! I might have discovered something new about myself, hah!
Not only is the art style amaaaazing with all its ikemen, the intensity of the characters reacting to each other took hold of my heart right away. If you want to have your heart thunder against your chest in anticipation, this is the short manga you need to read. The various relationships come together perfectly, making it like a small soap opera with a very satisfying ending, mhm!
Seriously,
...
gosh, I haven't enjoyed a highschoolish BL story like this one as much as I did this one.

This anime took me by surprise!
The art is really good, as expected from a fairly new animation. The colours are soft and fit the overall feeling of the video very well. The story was bitter sweet, short but hit the feels. I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially because it is not about a romantic relationship but about loneliness in general and the relationship between a father and daughter.
I wish I could have seen a bit more about the worlds she is creating and how she is able to survive. Sadly there isn't any information or explanation in the AMV itself. The song itself wasn't
...
all that special, didn't emphasize the feeling of the video as much as it could have, but it was catchy nonetheless.
Overall a very good AMV that lingers in my mind.

Since I am part of a twin myself, this spoke to me very deeply. Even though my sister and I aren't connected physically, we have always been together when we were little and I can relate to the shadow that fell over Judy while taking care of Jucy.
This story is amazing in art style, story line and honesty. The story is short, but captures one's attention immediately for Judy's struggles are portrayed straight from the beginning which sucks you into the story and makes you sympathize. Truly a story worth one's time, even if it only took me 10 minutes to finish it still lingers
...
in my mind.

The story of this particular manga is realistic yet odd. Without trying to give spoilers, anyone wanting to read the manga must be warned that the story might not go as they expect. Which is not by default a bad matter, except... I have yet to find anyone who read the ending and who wasn't terribly disappointing. As emotional, captivating and heart-warming the scenes and bonding between characters is, the ultimate relationship that is revealed at the ending is somewhat out of the box and not very rooted for by the majority of the public. Nevertheless, I recommend anyone who is a fan of family
...
type of stories to read this up to chapter 26.
The art of this manga is simple yet sufficient. There are hardly any truly outstanding character designs which complement the realistisc slice of life genre. Therefor it is easy to picture the story to take place in modern Japan.
Character development is what this story is all about. The time skip in the story was unexpected, but refreshing, for it shone a light on the relationships in a more mature setting. The main girl, Rin, blossoms into a teenage girl who is mature for her age but still naïve about the world. The only part about the character development aspect that I disliked it the constant obnoxious behaviour of Kouki obsessing over Rin wanting her to like him as much as he likes her. Get the hint, kid. She doesn't like you, it's not endearing to stick your nose in all of her business and to insist on walking her home even when she's on a frigging date. Ugh.
I enjoyed this story only until I figured out that Daikichi was not going to end up with the person I was hoping for. Which means I am biased and disappointed, but who isn't? It was truly joyful to see Daikichi as a mature single man try and raise a little child and have to adjust to parenthood without a partner to support him.
Overall I give this story a 5 out of 10. This low mark is mostly based on the ending and the odd character bonding that suddenly took place and totally made me flip all the tables in my house. Sadly enough this story took a turn for the worst which left me feeling awkward and confused and simply unconvinced of Daikichi's feelings for the 'love of his life'.

Super Lovers is a slow paced romance story that steers into the incest genre if one wants to interpet it that way. The main character Haru and Ren are not blood related, but are expected to treat each other like brothers and might not completely understand the definition which makes for flirty scenes.
Other than romance the story focusses on Ren's past life and gradually explains to you, the viewer, what caused him to be the way he is. His distachment and misunderstanding of the world is not overly done and explained throughout the story. Yet there are several cliché parts in the series, such as
...
Ren not understanding the reactions of his own body, the friends and family members of the two brothers hardly think badly of them for behaving overly flirty with other other even though they are supposedly related, not to mention males and of very different ages, that may be true elements in a teenager's life, but not in a gay community. It is great that everyone (albeit not openly supportive, but) is accepting of them, but most turn a blind eye to Haru's obvious attempt to get touchy-feely with a boy that should not match his age. The side characters however are enjoyable and more realistic about the entire set-up which is pleasant to see.
In my opinion this series only got interesting at episode 07 where conflict between Haru and Ren about their current relationship and what they actually should be is brought to a climax with truthful, but hurtful words. After that there is far more development for both characters. Especially Ren comprehends that at his age his hormones are active and bring changes to his body and his reactions to Haru's endearments that have not changed from the very beginning but suddenly spark something desirable in Ren.
For those among us who wish to experience a bit more intimacy, I recommend watching episode 09 over and over. It is subtle and there are no explicit images shown, but the dialogue and setting of the scene makes for the very first sexual experience between Haru and Ren. How exciting this may be, it is only one episode away from the end, which was rather dissatisying, because only just recently did the two of them get to explore the levels of their relationship and suddenly it is announced by Haruko that the two of them will be separated. This is, of course, against their will, and promises more interesting conflict in the near future, but for me personally it felt like going back to episode 01 and not having acchieved anything by watching the 10 episodes in total. I sincerely hope season 02 proves me wrong.
All in all I give this series a 6/10. The story was intriguing enough to keep my attention and make me come back for more. However, I prefer the theme of homosexuality, incest and the fact that there's quite the age difference to be more realistic when it comes to being in a relationship with such elements and how the environment with family and friends respond. This was a romantic and dramatic season with lovely scenes of endearment between two people who obvioulsy care a lot about each other. So far it was an imagine of what we hope for them to happen, not so much what would actually happen.

I definitely recommend this show to fans of Marvel en DC Comics, but also to anime fans who enjoy a silly joke in between a punch or two. The number of light-hearted scenes and life-threatening situations is very well balanced.
As a superhero fan I couldn’t resist watching Tiger & Bunny. Needless to say, the synopsis on MAL doesn’t prepare you for the diversity of hilarious characters and their eccentric styles of crimefighting and neither does it indicate how well thought of the plotline is.
At first the show felt a bit silly, with heroes earning points by capturing criminals, but as the story introduces the characters
...
and their backgrounds, it becomes more serious. There are several twists that totally caught me off guard and transformed Tiger & Bunny from a silly show to a real superhero story where they have to make use of each other’s strong points to compete with the unexpected villain of the story.
