Personal Ratings: 3.5
This anime started out like a normal comedy and love anime, but as the anime proceeds, their words hold more meaning and it started to get harder to understand, both their actions and their words. I wanted to give this anime a 3 because of the sudden change in the meanings. It suddenly became very deep. 
What i really loved about this show is that even though the character or the characters have a drastic change if you compare from the first and the last episode, it did not feel that way when you watch the whole anime. I liked the comedy and the ridiculous and extreme personalities of the main characters, it really made them more memorable. Like the way how Ryuuji is obsess with cleanliness.
What I didn't really like was the fact that they did not show, at all throughout the show, that Minori liked Ryuuji, and then nearing the end, they suddenly just told us that she liked Ryuuji. The part about Ami was also a little weird. Like does she likes Ryuuji? it was really a question mark at the end, because it seemed like she likes.... then she does not really.... The ending of the anime was also not clear. I really did not understand why Taiga would go back to her family and leave Ryuuji behind, then she suddenly comes back...
Nearing the end, I think all I did was just cry. I didn't really understood why. The tears just kept falling. Even when the anime ended and it was suppose to be a happy ending.

Art Ratings: 4
The art was actually quite nice. Unique art with just the right balance of sharp and round lines. The animation of the hair and eyes were also really good.
