STORY:    5.5 / 10    
(WARNING : MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)

To me The story, was not bad, but it wasn't as good as I thought either. If there was more twists and shocking events, I would've took more interest. But the Story is very refreshing and it is full of happy moments and small twists and turns.. lots of misunderstandings that will give you many face palm moments. It is the story for the sensitive types of people and also those who like the enjoy a small anime about school and romance from time to time. It is a quick watch and i finished quickly. It can be pretty clique though, but it was satisfying. Though i had to admit, I wish Kazehaya and Sawako feel in love later in the story and had some interesting relations to build on that, but i guess it is my preference. I thought when they both liked each other that it happened way too quickly, and something should've build up before that. Anyway, If you love to squeal of cuteness when you see a shy boy and shy girl go at each other, this is one anime for you! and if you love the school drama's, chances is this anime will be a short, satisfying watch on the go! '

MUSIC/SOUNDTRACK :  9 / 10

The music is truly refreshing and fits the anime really well. Because thats what the anime really is... Refreshing! It is so cheerful there is not many sad, depressing moments! The music is really nice to listen to and very peaceful to the ear. The music is soothing and I thought it suited the mood of the anime and really fitted well with the scenes in the anime and character themes.

GRAPHIC / ANIMATION  :  7.5 / 10

The Drawings do suit the anime, and are cute to look at. The drawings are nice, however it is not my preference so much, I do prefer something a little more digital, but the animation and anime drawing of characters were nicely done for the anime. It gave a refreshing atmosphere and it suits the anime well.

CASTING :  10 / 10

The voice acting, always superb! It was also enjoyable as the voice acting was so natural and put depth and emotion to the anime even more. I was a little shcoked when i realiaze Mamoru Miyano voiced Miura and Aya Hirano voiced Kurumi in the anime, because they did a brilliant a job, I didn't even notice it was them! Sawako's Voice, Mamiko Noto did an excellent job on the voice acting, it suited her personality really well, the shy and timid voice. As for Kazehaya, the voice, was cute and Daisuke Namikawa did a great job at the shy yet refreshing voice of Kazehaya. I was able to enjoy the emotional parts of thee anime even more thanks to the voice acting!


********************************

Overall, Kimi Ni Todoke, is a nice anime to watch, though it isn't my favourite anime that I wouldn't mind watching over and over again, rather it is the anime that i enjoy watching from time to time, when i wish to enjoy a short summer anime to watch, something about life and school romance ^_^

But this anime is great if you want a quick watch and like to enjoy a slice of life and some school romance drama as well as shy love. It is also great if you want a quick romance story and also good if you're sensitive as it will not give you major heartbreaks or up and down's, rather it will give huge face palm moments with ridiculous misunderstandings in the story. But This is for people who love anime casually ;)

OVERALL RATING :  60 / 100

Tune in for the next review!!
