Spoiler alert
I have seen so many romantic animes. By far, the best one is Clannad Afterstory. Ever since then, I wanted to watch a love anime which had the same standards, if possible, higher. However, when I sat down to watch this show just because of its cover art, I thought it was fine. However, I finally realized just how bad it was. As a matter of fact, this is not worth a penny when compared to Clannad Afterstory. Now instead of putting my analysos together in one enormous bundle, I shall set it up in all of the anime's different components.
Story: (1/10)
This anime
...
#2 flaw was that it was not at all original. It didn't even have one aspect of uniqueness. The story itself had noting which I haven't seen or heard of. However, Sukitte Ii ya no's # 1 problem was that it didn't even have a story for 40% of the time. The only thing it had was when Yamato became a model, Megumi had run away, and Yamato's old friend came along during the beginning of the series. The entire story, however, was also just a cycle. It's Mei becomes upset, Yamato comes to help, Mei becomes upset, Yamato comes to the rescue, etc. It was so difficult to watch the show by episode 8, that I was about to drop it. I have seen a lot of anime, some before this series, and have only quit watching one.
Art: (5/10)
The art for the story was well simulated. The background also had the same result. However, the character design was pretty much, similar to how the series is, unoriginal. Now, some characters actually looked unique, such as Kai and even Kurosawa. However, besides that, everyone looks regular. Nothing about the art was amazing.
Sound: (5/10)
The music scores were not well done. The opening was not at all emphasizing any of the story's aspects. It, by itself had no romantic mood or tone. Sure it was rather pleasant similar to the anime, however it would have gone better with some other anime, such as Shigatsu wa kimi no uso. The ending was actually somewhat better. However, it had, althoguh not as emphasized, the same atmosphere as the opening did. The soundtrack was somewhat better because it had actually brought out somewhat of a romantic mood. The sound for the anime however, was pretty good and unfortunately, was the best part of the show.
Character: (4/10)
The characters were terrible. Yamato was actually the best character on the show, with a 2/10. The characters are a huge part of why this show is so conventional. The characters are huge stereotypes. Mei was the outcast who was also somewhat of a tsundere. Yamato was a talented person at everything he did however, have a somewhat interesting backstory. Aiko also had an unoriginal backstory and was at the beginning, somewhat of a tsundere. Her other friend, whose name I can't remember, was at most, a futile part of the show. The show also brought in characters who just created more repition for the show.The characters weren't even original. The best point for the characters was that, as many animes, especially romantic ones have pervertedness, this anime didn't have any characters of the sort.
Enjoyment: (3/10)
I couldn't bear watching this show. It was just that terrible. I was counting down to when the last episode finally ended. I don't think that this show should have been released into the mainstream crowd.
I gave an overall score of 3/10. II would recommend for anyone who's reading this to not give the show a chance.
