Kimi ni Todoke





Cited from Animelist:

Kuronuma Sawako is completely misunderstood by her classmates. Her timid and sweet demeanor is often mistaken for malicious behavior. This is due to her resemblance to the ghost girl from "The Ring", which has led her peers to give her the nickname Sadako. Longing to make friends and live a normal life, she is naturally drawn to Kazehaya Shouta, the most popular guy in class, whose "100% refreshing" personality earns him great admiration from Sawako. So when Kazehaya starts talking to her, maybe there is hope for the friendships Sawako has always longed for. Maybe...there is even a little hope for some romance in her future.


Review:


This is an AWESOME anime! I know I may seem biased because I am really into the whole shoujo romance manga/anime thing, but seriously, this must be the BEST depiction of what I had in mind of a GOOD shoujo romance anime. The love, although not formally expressed in words, is shown through actions and innermost thoughts and feelings. It makes the relationship between Sawako and Kazehaya to be so PURE and INNOCENT. Different than the typical romantic school romance anime, I find this to be the most realistic of all. I love how animes in this genre go into drama-mode where it will seem less anime-ish and make you forget that they are just drawings. For once, I felt the characters were lifelike. It is hard for a viewer to not feel attracted to Sawako's unique charm and personality and would love to befriend Yano-Chin (a gyaru character, kind and supportive, humorously masochist) and Chizu-chan (a former Yankee Girl who is actually really sensitive to emotional stuff, haha). The problems in school-life and relationships are shown in a more realistic form where viewers can actually relate to. The opening song and ending song are very soothing, and addictive. No teeny-bopper whiny moe songs, but actual songs with proper lyrics to go along with the movie! Refreshing! Overall, ths has definitely conquered the top-spot in my favourite animes.

Haven't said this before in previous anime posts, but this is a MUST watch.
