First time to do a written review of an Anime, Please bear with Me


When I first saw the poster of this anime, I wanted to watch it due to the cuteness of the characters named Mashiiro, and Aoyama. The first part of the anime was full of fanservice without much development among the character especially Sorata (Main Protagonist), wherein He was given the duty of taking care of Shiina who can't take care of Herself.

As the story revolves around 6 Protagonist: Sorata Kanda, Mashiro Shiina, Nanami Aoyama, Misaki Kamiigusa, Jin Mitaka, Ryūnosuke Akasaka with the Supporting characters: Chihiro Sengoku, Rita Ainsworth, Ayano Iida. Wherein the ... characters are situated within the Dorm named "Sakurasou" wherein story is just the daily life of the residents with their own set of unique talents

But as the anime progresses, the development among the characters starts to build up. The insecurities of Sorata which isn't given much credit in the first episodes are being developed slowly by the talents of the "Great Painter" Shiina; Jin who has been secretly fond of Misaki and is trying to prove himself worthy to be with Misaki has his own deal of inner conflicts due to the extreme talent of Misaki. The addition of Aoyama to the residents of Sakurasou initiated another big step in the development of the anime due to the similarities in experience (hardship and Hardwork) between Aoyama and Sorata. The anime may be characterized to be a Drama and Slice of Life due to the deepness of the portrayal of Human Aspects.

The Anime portrays the hardship and difficulties in life, the unfairness that divides great talent and diligence/ Hard Work. For me, the anime's character portrays the state of society today which divides the hierarchy among the poor and the rich, may no be in terms of money but in terms of talent and resources. Due to the deepening of characters within every episode you can't seem to skip watching the episode upon release. Every episode in itself takes the story into another level, showing each characters developments, successes, failures and inner conflicts which adds to the serious theme of the Anime

So if you like Angel Beats, Ano Hana, Maybe you will also like Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo.
