I usually don't get an urge to write reviews, but for this one I did!
First of, the story.
It's great! A real chick-anime! It's somewhere near as romantic as can get. The way it teases; it's a bit like a rollercoaster.
I really got caught up with it; so much that I needed to watch 20 episodes in one day! It's very, very funny too. I usually don't laugh out loud, but with this one, I did - more than once.
There's something for all of your feelings. Harm, anger, jealousy, happiness, sadness - you name it! Simply great!
The art is typical anime. It's not super glossy and sparkling, which I very much appreciate. It's not as simply drawn as Mushishi (just to mention one), but neither an anime with big, thick eyelashes and eyes soaking in gloss, and hair in weird purple, green or blue colors. It's pretty average (= good thing!).
I really liked the music - especially the opening theme! The melody in the beginning of every episode also reminds you of Kotoko, almost instantly making you smile. I didn't pay too much attention to other music, I'll admit.
Oh yeah, I never got the beat of the outtro song, lol!
Neither art or music drags the overall score down.
The characters are FANTASTIC and are really carried through the entire show! I won't say too much about them as I think it could be a spoiler, so I'll just stop here ^___^ - GREAT!
Enjoyment, need I say it? I loved it! There are only a few downsides to it. I thought the ending was a bit weird, but it's not something that really bothers me. The only stopping me from giving it a 10... I'm not sure. I even forgot the bad things now that I listen to the opening song, but I know there are a few minor things - but I may change my mind, you know ^___^
Overall - perhaps the sweetest anime I've seen so far! (Not that I've watched many, but I think it tops Bokura ga Ita juuuuust a little.)
My advice: Watch it if you like a good portion of comedy and romance - or just a good story ^___^
