It doesn't even have any story.....but i can tell that it will be some fun to watch.....
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.
Is it the default that Xia is a likable character? Haha.
The second girl is so good that she keeps saying why she is called Xia Mu.
For the lady, too, she has such a good personality but has been picky about other girls.This is a fan who will be brainwashed after watching it.
Very good.
At first when i started this anime i liked it a lot and was really curious about how this was gonna end but the ending was so disappointing all the good things happened mid-way in the anime so there wasn't actually anything good to put as the ending so that disappointed me a lot... The anime is good but until like episode 8 or 9. Wouldn't necessarily recommend this to someone unless you just want to get your mind off something and feel a little light-hearted its a good one but not really something that would I would give a good rating 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.
