I have never really been a fan of the over-used-genre of the "magical girl," but I had read that this series seems to take you by surprise and allows you to see unexpected side to the genre. So i decided to give it a shot, and here I am writing a review on it.

Story: 8/10
The story was pretty generic, the whole "having to collect an object” (in this case Star Drops) to save someone or something. Even though this anime kept to that, I kept wanting more and more because in its own way, Nanatsuiro Drops kept a fresh view on the magical girl cliché ... and managed to turn it into its own story. The romance was pretty pure and light-hearted which melded well with the story.
Art: 9/10
The art was pretty well done, the magic was quite beautiful and the character and background surroundings were pretty well constructed.
Sound: 8/10
There’s not much to complain about with sound and the music played fit the anime well. Although the music really wasn’t an major detail in this anime, it did help bring out emotions and added to the overall feeling Nanatsuiro Drops emitted.
Character: 8/10
While the characters did lack some background details, they still held their ground. I enjoyed the characters in this anime because their personalities shined through and overall added to Nanatsuiro Drops story.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I really enjoyed Nanatsuiro Drops, and would give a thumbs up to any romance anime lovers out there that are looking for a sweet and light-hearted romance that will keep you saying “awe” until the very moment it ends.

When I first came across Kobato, the anime at first glance seemed interesting but I wasn't sure if it would end up being my cup of tea. Now that I look back, I know I would have regreted not watching it because of how amazing it turned out to be.

Words can't describe how much I loved this anime. It was so heartwarming and cute, you didn’t want to stop watching. Kobato had a tear-jerker side imbedded into it, just like a jewel on a ring, making the piece even more beautiful. CLAMP did a wonderful job constructing this masterpiece, taking a semi-generic idea and keeping ... it fresh and out of the box. The character's personalities made this story worthwhile, along with the breath taking art. Kobato inched its way into my heart, forgive me if I'm being too biased, making its mark on my top 10. The story has laughter that will keep you smiling and sadness that will wet your eyes, so grab a few tissues. Most of all Kobato's relationships and bonds made the anime come together, in friendship and in love.

As all animes stand, there is always room for improvement, yet I feel that Kobato was excellent exactly the way it is.
