Tonari no kaibutsu-kun

This anime is a Sweet and Frustrating Watch. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun's a lighthearted rom-com with adorable leads, but pacing issues & unnecessary drama hold it back. Shizuku & Haru's relationship's charming, despite their awkwardness. Animation's gorgeous, with detailed backgrounds. Emotions run deep, but eye-rolling moments abound. Worth a watch, but flaws keep it from greatness. Haru's floppy hair, though... stylistic choice or what? It's a sweet movie, that could've been better. Developed characters, funny moments & heartfelt scenes make it enjoyable. Despite flaws, I'd watch it again. It's a fun, feel-good anime.

I just hate love triangle why story writer do things that's not related to story...Both main characters love each other and boom suddenly new guy come and love female character and also female character fond with him...Like man why...waste of good rom com...

I really like it. The first episodes for me are the best! I appreciate an anime when it is entertaining and has intresting characters, so I had a great time watching it. I find though that it ends a bit of a sudden. That's the reason you will want to learn what happen next, and you should check the manga too .

The only really good things I can say about this anime is that I like the art style, and that the "romance" moves faster than most romances.

I watched episode one, and I don't really want to keep watching. I'm not a fan of romances, and especially not this one. Maybe these two characters are meant for each other, but the relationship isn't healthy. The guy is abusive and the girl is emotionless. There's even a rape joke (I think it was supposed to be a joke?) and it was uncalled for. There a scene where the girl gets punched in the face and later tells they guy she loves him. I don't find this relationship to be healthy or worth watching, and I honestly think that it can do harm for people watching this. A lot of people find these scenes sweet, and it really isn't. Glorifying abuse in media can do real harm. I'm not saying that it can't be present in any media, but it needs a better context. A romantic relationship is not a good context for what is really a toxic relationship.

My Little Monster had a strong start, but quickly lost direction. The romance feels forced, and the characters don't really grow.

Haru is too aggressive at times, and Shizuku's personality gets weaker as the story goes on. A lot of side characters are just forgotten.

The anime tries to be funny and emotional but doesn't do either very well. By the end, it feels unfinished and rushed.

It's not the worst anime ever, but it's definitely overhyped.
