I really liked this anime, except for one thing; the romance between the main characters was developing too slow. I mean, how blind was Hikari to all of the signs Kei liked her and then realizing she likes him too? Unfortunately, this thickheadedness & ignorance seems to be a disease in most high-school animes, which is pretty annoying. I mean, the chse is fun and all, but not when you spread it over 24 episodes. I wish there would be more romance animes that would show the life of protagonists after they become a couple and make their love grow while facing different challenges. Other than that, I quite liked this one and would still recommend it, and the ending is decent. Kei and Hikari have a good chemistry. The supporting characters were also ery likable and pretty decently developed. In the end, I do recommend S.A.

Hikari Hanazono has always been able to do things that normal people cannot do. As a child, she assumed no one could beat her. ~Ever~ Then she met Kei Takishima.

Hikari & Kei hold the top two rankings in school and are among seven of the academy's best students in a class known as "Special A." The problem is (and this is a big problem for Hikari) Kei's ranked #1. Always #1. She's ranked #2. Forever #2. Thus, the lifetime rivalry kicked into high gear. It's Hikari's very raison d'etre: She must beat him. She must triumph. She will. 😤 She absolutely will❗ What she doesn't realize is that she beat him long ago. He's already utterly 😍 vanquished. Not that she'd notice. She's BUSY.

SAC is 2008 release. It's 1 season consisting of 24 24-minute English dubbed episodes. The English voice acting is excellent, as always. Unfortunately, none of the written word is transcribed. One of the characters only communicates by way of writing on a tablet. We don't get any of that dialogue. I understand that it may not be cost-effective to put English words on the screen to translate what's written. But couldn't they, at least, have a voice actor read it for us? This is a common problem in older anime. Thankfully, newer shows do a much better job.

Hikari is our FL. She's a bit competitive. When it comes to Kei Takishima, she's /rabidly/ competitive. Surely she can beat him once.... She will not give up. Even after scoring straight perfect💯💯💯s in exams, she came in 2nd ('When I pointed out an error in the exam the teacher gave me 5 points,' Kei explains). 😤 Not even then will she give up. Hikari is super fizzy soda, or a Red Bull, perhaps. Kei is an afternoon mint tea. He isn't expressive, and he's always acting cool, so Hikari can't read him at all.

SAC was written for warmth and chuckles. While it reinforces the better aspects of human nature, the value in SAC is found in its entertainment. Positive themes to be gleaned are the value of being earnest and hardworking. Also, we shouldn't judge others for good or bad based on the gifts (like intelligence) or privileges (like wealth) that they were born with, but rather their character.

SAC is a new twist on old style animation. The art has a signature look. It almost looks like a kid's drawing. Their portrayal of emotional expressiveness is above average, with color changes to express mood changes. Pictures can say paragraphs when done skillfully, and they came up with fresh techniques. The near rustic look to the drawing is full of extended, bold lines and dotted with unique markers. It's almost dreamlike. People are long and lean with round eyes and simple features. Backgrounds stylized realism with simple lines, heavy outlining and pale colors. I've never seen another show quite like it.

SAC is a 24-episode smile. The show feels like it could have inspired the magnificent Maid Sama-10, which is a stellar romcom. This just works as a romance. She's oblivious, but he L💓VES her. Attraction builds slowly over the course of the show. The last half of the last episode nearly reaches the level of romance-porn, it's that good, and there's a great wrap up. They missed one opportunity: It's astounding that he never said to her that she's his #1, his first🏆place, and she had conquered him long ago. They opted to keep it playful. Perhaps they were saving that for the sequel? They did such a good job, overall, we can overlook it. As a bonus, there are secondary romances that are a wonderful compliment to the lead duo.

There's nothing as sweet as a challenge that one can't lose. That's where we find Hikari. Sometimes, NOT prevailing gives way to an even better reward. Hikari doesn't have any concept of that until the show's end. While she was piddling around contesting inconsequential things, like test scores, she unwittingly won life's MOST consequential contest: She bagged a prince among men. She'll never be looked at as second best ever again.

Re-📺? I plan to start a friend on this one, so rewatch is nearly assured.

From lite&trite to heavy&serious, here's some recs ~

💘 Ouran High School Host Club-8,, Ao-chan Can't Study-7.8, Special A Class 💓8.2, Maid Sama-10, Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion-8.6, Mischievous Kiss, True Beauty-7.5, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun-7.7, Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady With the Lamp-6.5 (tweens), Colourcloud Palace-7.5, Hakkenden, 7th Time Loop-7.9, Honey & Clover, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, Princess Principal 8.6, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale-7.5 Real Girl-7.5, Toradora-8.5, My Happy Marriage-8.3, Nina the Starry Bride-8.4, Your Lie In April-9, Violet Evergarden-9.5.

For anybody who have read manga "Last Game" by Amano Shinobu, after find out how amazing that manga was, and when they try to search other manga that have the same story & style, they will find this one, "Special A" by Maki Minami. For your information, this is not the first manga that have the same theme, unrequited love between a long time childhood friend. There is another manga named "His and Her Circumstances" by Masami Tsuda in 1996 that slightly have the same theme. I expect nothing from this anime, but it turns out to be too funny and a lot of unpredictable situation happen, even its also make me cry a lot with its drama. All character in this anime is sweet and adorable, each of them have their own past and back story that's so interesting. I could say that this anime's genre is fiction love. Anybody who want laugh and cry in the same time, this gem is highly recommended!

At first glance you may recognize some features from the popular 2006 hit, Ouran High School Host Club. The ultra elite school, the ultra elite club within the school, the characters who can't express their feelings, etcetera. But don't think I'm criticizing the show. Though similar (everything has been done before so with every show you'll see resemblance to another) it has many unique qualities. The balance between romance and comedy is something you don't see too often in what shows claim to dub themselves "romantic comedies." Right from the start of episode one you're given a heat-felt moment AND some good laughs. I won't give this show a perfect score yet seeing as how there's only been 2 episodes aired, but I believe it's on the right track so I stick to my solid 9 for a score. I can't wait to see the rest of this season unfold as the manga is quite enjoyable.

This is a best anime.This is one of my favourite anime. Before watching this, I am very sad and depressed, but after watching this ,I feel very happy! this is also a underrated anime,but this is a great anime. It has many comedy, when I am watching this,I laughed very hard.But It has only few romantic moments. This anime's last episode is best. So,watch this when you feel sad and depressed, you will feel very happy and joyful . And make it popular. 👌👌🤗🤗😁😁😊😊😙

I hate that Special A is so underrated, it's amazing! It's funny, it's smart and there are so many layers to the story. It's far better than Maid-sama people always compared it to (that's been crowned a classic by the community ignoring SA). I've rewatched it several times since 2010 and Yahiro still has a grasp on my heart.

I recommend it so much!

If you missed watching a good shoujo series, Special A is perfect for that. Really really enjoyable. I might have watched over an one hundred anime series, Special A entered top 15.
