Ok so this is my first ever review. I felt after reading so many reviews slating this anime i had to put my 2 cents worth in. I have read up to the latest chapter in the manga but i will try not let that effect my review on the anime.

If you are looking for an anime that will make you laugh uncontrollably 1 second, and then be almost in tears the next, then this anime is for you.

Story - 8/10

Many people going into this anime thought that this show was going to be purely just a SciFi mystery anime, and i dont blame them. ... I think this is why so many people were shocked when it turned very haremy. The story itself is very good and doesn't have many plotholes, although the pacing is a bit off at some places due to the anime being 13 eps long when it really should of been 26. The anime also left out probably one of my favourite arcs of the story from the manga which was a big shame, but i still found the story enjoyable. There are quite a few fanservicey scenes which may put some people off, personally i found them enjoyable and funny.

Characters - 10/10

The one thing i keep reading in reviews is how the main male protagonist Ryouta is obnoxious, arrogant and rude person, mainly due to how he is with Kazumi. I want to first talk about a little thing i don't think many people get called "banter". The formal definition of banter is "the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks". The scenes where Ryouta and Kazumi are playfully teasing each other are some of the funniest scenes i have ever seen in anime. I dont see how Ryouta was being rude at all, it was all in good fun.

I really felt the characters were the strong points in the anime. The really close knit bond that the main group make is awesome. Kuroneko in general was the cutest thing ever, the main male protagonist was actually really smart and funny in my opinion, but for me Kazumi was the bright spark in this anime. She definately showed the most character development throughout the series.

Sound & Art - 9/10

No complaints about the sound and the art. I felt the background music during serious situations was perfect (for example, the piano version of the op song softly playing in the background) although during the fanservicey scenes i felt the music was kinda annoying. The art was beautiful

Enjoyment - 10/10

Sure, the anime has some flaws with its pacing, but i can definately say i enjoyed this anime a lot. I do wish they had made it longer so it wasn't rushed, but you cant have everything you want in life can you? If you are looking for a funny new anime with an actual decent storyline and characters, then Gokukoku is your boy.

Thanks for reading.
