So I've just started watching 'Suki tte Ii na yo' and gotta say I'm pretty impressed. The summary is as follows; The story of first love centers around Tachibana Mei, a girl who has
never made friends or had a boyfriend in 16 years. One day, she
accidentally injures Kurosawa Yamato, the school's most popular boy. For
some reason, Yamato becomes
interested in Mei and starts a one-sided friendship with her. He even protects her from a stalker - by kissing her.
I could tell right away by the end of the first episode this series would be great. The animation style is very good as well as the character profiles. It has everything from good humour to emotional hit points through the use of stunning visuals. Something I'm really enjoying most about this series is the story progression. Episode 3 has just aired and already the story is at a point where most might be by the last few episodes. It makes me think that there will be some serious ups and downs for the lead two characters, Mei and Yamato, as well as the introduction of many new characters.
Compared to the first episode of 'Onii-chan Dakedo Ai sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne!' that I also watched...well...
I guess I've realized I might actually have taste. True there were some pretty funny points, all of them vulgar of course if you know Japanese literal and can translate the title. But overall, not a very good first impression (IN MY OPINION).
I didn't particularly like the art style (especially the eyes), and there was no info on any of the characters' backgrounds. So if you want an anime that only focuses around the incestuous desires of a girl over her brother with annoying side characters, 'Onii-chan Dakedo Ai sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne!' is definately for you.
As for Suki tte Ii na yo, if you're just looking for a good watch with great animation quailty that can warm the heart and leave a smile on your face, then this should be on your list. Episode 4 aires shortly, and I can't wait! : )
