Review: For people who have at least read the synopsis
If not then here's a short description of the plot:
(free to skip)
This is a school anime which revolves around the student council consisting mainlty of President Miyuko Shirogane (He is a smart dude who tops the practical exams) and Vice President Kaguya Shinomiya (Daughter of a wealthy Conglomerate family and Multi-talented). Despite liking each other, they both are full of pride and are too full of themselves to confess their love. They believe whoever does so first would lose. The story is based on their many attempts to make one other confess first.
Apart from them, there

is another student council member, the Secretary, Chika Fujiwara who likes to gossip and often throws a wrench in Shinomiya and Shirogane's plans due to her unpredictability.
Story: 9/10
'Kaguya-Sama: Love is War' is a great show with a nicely told story. I personally felt like the first 40 seconds were really powerful as they describe about the anime's true content and as to why Miyuki and Kaguya are trying to get one another to fall in love with each other. I also like how they end each scene by telling who won. Each episode perfectly describes the nature of the characters.
The story is really good. The president is super smart and the vice president is super rich and multi talented. Everyone in the school ships them or believes they are dating. Chika Fujiwara is another character who brings plot twist and changes the mood in some episodes. I really like the humor of this anime even in serious scenes, for instance, how the President thinks that any wrong action might make Kaguya say "How cute" which isn't what he wants. It can even be noted as the specialty of the anime.
The story is unique and not at all predictable. I haven't seen any anime as this one. This is a Rom/Com with it's own special story. The episodes may contain more than one scene and lets the viewers know. There aren't many literary devices used. There are times when the characters are fighting and fail because of their flaws. The episodes aren't rushed and are well shown.
The characters are unique in their own way. By their nature, you may think it makes the plot super simple but NO! The story is entertaining in its own way.
Art:8/10
I think the art is really good however not the best. The shadow under the President's eyes make him unique. I believe this is one of the great works of A-1 Pictures. I think the girls in the anime (Chika Fujiwara and Kaguya) are cute and the President's looks makes him fit into his character.
The animation is smooth and the expressions of the characters are really great. Some of it actually makes the story better, adds humor and makes it way better.
Most of the story takes place in the Student Council room or sometimes other places. It is shown nicely and the art is simply great!
Sound:9/10
I really loved all of the opening/ending songs of this anime. The ending song changes quite a bit but they are all great. I find them rather special. When I'm finding an anime I think it's music adds a plus point to it.
The voice actors were amazing too. The way they speak defines their nature and even their thoughts are expressed crystal clear. I think I'll listen to the OST again in future. Kudos to halca, the theme song performer and Jin Aketagawa, the sound director.
Character: 9/10
All the characters have their own personalities. You may find some unexpected things about the characters later in the show. The two of the main characters: Kaguya and Miyuki have their own strengths and flaws. Their strength are mentioned earlier and as for their flaws, make sure to watch the series to find out!! >.<
There is very little character development since the characters already have a fixed personality but through their action we can tell that they have changed. There are few characters and are perfect for the show.
The show has a narrator who explains everything making it easier for the viewers and helps to end the scene in a decent way sometimes.
For now, I don't specifically dislike any of the characters. There aren't many supporting characters but I think the show is fine that way.
I'll definitely remember the characters in the future! (Since they are less in number and each has a certain specialty different from other)
Enjoyment: 9/10
I really enjoyed the show! People who like Rom/Com will no doubt like this show. Maybe not everyone will like the show thinking that the plot is stupid (It really isn't but I've met such people). It is really entertaining, trust me. I think mostly teenagers or any other young person would like this series. I've been watching a lot of on-going animes and this is definitely one of them that I would remember! If given the chance to, I would gladly accept the ownership of this show. I would re-watch it because this show has got a lot of scenes (Even more than 2 scenes in a single episode). This will make remembering every detail very hard so I would forget it. This way, even re watching would be fun!

Obocchama-kun
(Anime)
add
I watched obocchama as a kid and liked it. As per my memory, I watched a hindi dubbed version and this is mainly for kids. There are english dubbed version or japanese ones in online sites today if you want to watch them. I do like watching them just to kill time and in leisure. I would recommend it to children aged 4-13 y/o. If you're older then you might be bored of it or might watch it just for fun (and not serious anime watching).
The plot revolves around a rich kid (referred to as Prince) named Obocchama. He is unique in a way and ... Jan 9, 2019
Oshiete! Galko-chan
(Anime)
add
I was watching this for the 2019 Anime Challenge while still a Novice as I found this series short to watch.
'Oshiete! Galko-chan' is a slice of life, comedy and school anime and you can expect what's it going to be about. I thought it would be a good way to kill time (While procrastinating) to watch this show. Actually, the teaser of this show caught my attention. This anime is good for early teens as most of the characters portray them. This comedy series revolves around their nature and how they discover themselves. As a guy, there were few things I learnt about the opposite ... |
