I'm a big fan of romantic comedies and this anime hit the jackpot for me. This anime is full of cute moments which will keep you intrigued however, i had a tendency to lose interest. I'll start with the story.
Story 9/10
Don't get me wrong, the story is great and keeps your mind predicting what's going to happen next but, it starts to lean away from the whole point of the show. You'll notice that it drags on and some episodes don't even have anything to do with the story, it's just another way for the author to add some 'chummy' moments between the protagonist and
...
one of the girls. If it wasn't for all those cute, romantic moments i would have given it a 8/10. In addition, i finished this anime feeling incomplete so hopefully there's going to be a 2nd season as i don't really like reading manga.
Art 10/10
The art is so good, but that's probably common for 2014 anime's so I'm not really that blown away. It's as if every 2014 anime now has a 9+/10 art. I like how they emphasize on characters through the simple use of colours. What i mean is that, you would notice that they give insignificant characters in the background a colour/pattern which makes the main characters stand out in contrast.
Sound 8/10
I liked how the opening was catchy and upbeat which is always nice. Unlike most anime's, with Nisekoi - i watched the whole opening every episode just to appreciate it and increase my morale. There were no soundtracks during the show which actually stood out however, these soundtracks don't really have much of an impact on me. I just think that the opening is key, as it sort of prepares you for what's coming. In addition, the voices are good i didn't notice anything wrong.
Character 9/10
To be put bluntly, they are very common characters. Almost everyone in this anime is so shy and ignorant. This leaves room for lots of complications. On the other hand, they develop nicely over time as each of them have their own little 'spotlight episode' which allows the viewers to connect with the characters. Due to the common personalities, you feel like you're familiar with them which made it easier to understand them and how they feel.
Enjoyment 10/10
This anime gave me butterflies in my stomach due to the amount of lovey-dovey moments there are. You could predict when they were going to happen which was the best part of it. Whenever boredom crossed my mind a wild romantic moment appears! Because of this, i didn't get bored and managed to finish this anime within 2 days.
Overall 9/10
I feel that there was so much potential for this show which is why I'm giving it a 9. But, i made a mistake of judging the rest of the anime based on the first few episodes which got me slightly disappointed. Once i finished it i said to myself "meh, it was alright". It's going to be in the top tier on my list though, just not the top.
