Kimi ni todoke

This show has become my favorite shoujo anime! Am I the only one that thinks that this is super underrated? This show is not only a love story but a story about how to become a better version of yourself. The art style is BEAUTIFUL!! I just can't stop admiring how unique looking all the character designs and the backgrounds are. Most people would consider beautiful art style as the number of details or vivid colors or how well animated it is. But Kimi ni Todoke's art style helps you connect with the show's emotions uniquely. The music is also very fitting and beautiful.

The characters are all interesting and three-dimensional. They all develop throughout the show. This show will make you laugh, cry, and scream in frustration. The relationships between all the characters are so cute and will warm your heart.

If you are looking for a heart-warming show that will make you feel all fussy things inside, seriously, look no further!!!

Kimi ni todoke is a marvelous love story with fleshed out characters and near perfect pacing.

Unfortunately, that doesn't go for Sawako's beloved Kazehaya, as he often is an enigma. Mostly he doesn't say much, and when he says something it's rather hollow. First he is upset that Sawako distances herself from him, only to grow so distant himself. He absolutely doesn't act like you would expect from a boy in love. That irritated me a lot, especially towards the end.

Most conflicts are rather contrived, and that's okay as the show doesn't dwell on them and the characters aren't overly unreasonable as they tend to be in anime.

I absolutely love the art style, which changes to doll like animations in comedic scenes, which there are plenty.

Season 2, on the other hand, is absolutely terrible. The characters haven't grown in any way, there are so much forced and silly conflicts, Kazehaya grows dense and is really annoying, and they shouldn't have introduced more despicable characters. Also season 2 has only half as many episodes.

Yes its slow at first. But this is such an adorable and wholesome anime. I loved it so much.

This show reached through my laptop screen and touched my heart. The vibe of this show is immaculate the art style and animation are so comforting and soft. I think what was the most beautiful thing about this show was easily how amazingly considerate and kind the characters were. This show makes me want to become a better person, I want to become kind and inclusive like my king Kazehaya, or considerate and helpful to others like my queen Ayane, or patient and calm like Ryu. The characters are constantly worrying about how other people feel and how what they do might be affecting their friends. They are constantly putting other people before them and its so inspiring. I also really like Ryu and Chizuru's relationship, to be honest I really like the childhood friend trope, and lets just say it's something I dream to experience as well. But the way Ryu declares that he wants to change their relationship is so wonderful I have no words to say. I first watched season 1 and 2 and from there I finished the manga. When I watched the first episode of season 3 I immediately started tearing up man, something about seeing this masterclass of a manga get a third seasons was truly too emotional. I believe if everyone in the world watched this show we would have explored our entire solar system, world hunger would have been solved, and everyone would be friends. This show is not only a good show but it's an example you can follow. If you want to change your life for the better, watch this show and then read the manga, you will not regret it.

I loved this show because it had a really healthy relationship in it and it showed a development within the characters.even my sister who does not usually watch romance anime really enjoyed this one!I really recommend it!
