**Before you read this, I thought it would be important to mention that I'm female.**
Call me crazy, but after swallowing down Diabolik Lovers with significant difficulty at first, I have concluded that it's probably one of the most unique harem series I've ever seen.
~Story~
I mean, I know what you're probably thinking. Vampires? Harem? Bishounen with colorful hair? Not very original. But that's not what I mean. Many harem series have one guy or girl surrounded by 6 or more of the opposite sex. Generally they're all attracted to the main character to the point of insanity, but why? Every harem series I've ever seen
...
doesn't really give a reason for why the main character is so desirable. They're sought after just because. In Diabolik Lovers, Yui is the average harem main character that you'd see anywhere else. The only difference here is that all the bishounen that should worship and romance her like you'd normally see are actually tormenting her. And pretty mercilessly, too. All for the simple reason of wanting to drain her body dry of her sweet irresistible blood. There isn't much affection or respect involved. One of the characters even states that she isn't special at all, that any girl her age could have come along and become a torture object for the brothers.
~Art~
This is your typical modern anime art style. The characters don't really have black pupils; depending on what you like it might creep you out if their personalities don't already.
No complaints in this department.
~Sound~
I liked the opening because it did what it was supposed to. The style was sort of metallic-rock, something you see often in reverse harem series like this. It was good enough to make me less upset about the lack of ending theme. Well, there was an ending theme but it didn't have nice visuals or vocals. Nice classical OSTs here and there, though.
~Characters~
The characters aren't really anything special, and background/past details were a little lacking. But I wasn't really expecting much from vampire bishounen anyway. I didn't really care for Yui, the heroine, but I didn't find her to be unbearably annoying or horrible. I thought she was pretty for a reverse harem heroine, considering they're generally pretty plain-looking.
~Enjoyment~
So, overall, I can't say that this anime actually has any rape scenes like so many before me have claimed. Watching this didn't really make me uncomfortable, and there were a couple moments where the brothers would actually be concerned about Yui (doki, doki). If verbal abuse or seeing a girl moan because a bishounen vampire is sucking her blood bothers you, I personally would skip this anime. This isn't a show you'll regret watching, but it doesn't really matter if you skip over it either. If you're like me and pretty much indifferent or too curious to care, go right on ahead and enjoy the eye candy.

While everyone likes to say that harems these days lack originality and are quickly getting stale, I think that Nisekoi is an exception. A lot of the elements in the anime are very comparable to things others have done before (such as the story), yet it's still an enjoyable watch.
Why, you might ask? I feel that having a female mangaka has helped Nisekoi despite its status as a Shounen anime. Instead of overloading on the ecchi moments and panty shots, Nisekoi shows a lot about the personalities of the girls vying for Raku's love, plus the feelings of Raku himself. Their character designs are
...
all adorable, and their motives are all (for the most part) pure. Without the pretty outfits, hairstyles, and animation, this anime would not be the same. The cutesy style is approachable and perfect for the feeling that it's supposed to give off. As a female anime watcher, this is one of the few harem anime I actually feel comfortable watching.
Aside from the approachability of the anime for all genders, I find the music to be absolutely wonderful. I've always been a fan of openings and endings sung by seiyuu, and Nisekoi does not disappoint in that area. I particularly enjoyed how if an episode centered on one of the girls, the ED would be sung by her seiyuu and include lots of nice dreamy visuals.
For me, the best part of watching this anime was Raku, the adorable MC, and the beautiful yet catchy soundtrack.

If I had to describe this series in one word, it'd have to be ambition. It's something that's fairly prevalent in this kind of story, and gives you that nice inspirational feeling throughout the entire watch that makes you want to ask for more. Now, the premise for Bakuman is fairly simple: it's a humble artist who teams up with a classmate to write one of the greatest Shonen manga hits of all time, all while fighting the desire to meet with the girl he loves. Even with this fairly simple setup, this anime manages to not only be interesting, but also fun to watch
...
because it doesn't just remain on the whole writing manga idea. You also get to see how the two MCs' relationships with other people change and differ over time, which adds some contrast and refreshes your mind. As for the characters, Nizuma Eiji has to be my favorite. His crazy eccentricity really makes it a worthwhile watch and grasps your interest. As for Aishirogi Muto (the MCs' nom de plume) the two aren't particularly attention grabbing characters but they're adequate. The show's music isn't the worst I've heard but it doesn't particularly stand out either. For the first season of a show I didn't expect to be much good at all, I found myself enjoying Bakuman a lot for the most part. It has its flaws, undoubtedly, but as Nobuhiro Mashiro said, "All a manga really has to be is interesting."

So maybe you're like me, and chose to watch this because the animation looks good, it's a new, ongoing anime, and heck, maybe you play an instrument or sing and were interested anyway. However interested I was at first, even with the outstanding music, at this point I can't even stomach this show. In my opinion, this show puts way too much of an emphasis on the entire drama of everything and kinda distracts from what I think is most important in a good show: an interesting story. Say you're not like me, and you enjoy all this whiny drama stuff. I'd say disregard everything
...
else I'm about to say and go ahead and watch this, because you'll be sure to enjoy it. However, if all these tears and uncertain moments make you kinda wanna puke, I'd maybe kinda wanna stay away, because you'll only end up distraught and dissatisfied with all the mixed emotions in a show like this.
