Title: not what i'd hoped
Review: I don't have really high standards for the anime I watch, but this show crosses all the boundaries. I was expecting a lively, smart romantic comedy, but this show feels more like the dramatization of some thirteen year old kid's diary. It's about one third boring everyday stuff, one third whiny, sniveling inner monologues, and one third recap stuff, which is mostly just a transparent excuse for more inner monologues. Since the recaps are usually cumulative for the whole show, they just get longer and longer. Also, as the relationship progresses, the main characters get more and more obnoxious and arrogant, especially the girl. Why is everyone so amazed by this show? People should take some more time to think this over, rather than just jumping on the bandwagon and proclaiming the greatness of what is, at it's heart, a mediocre, half-hearted series.
Is the review positive or negative?
