Summary:
The school romantic comedy revolves around a second-year high school student named Sorata Kanda who lives in Sakurasou, the dormitory for problem children at Sorata's school. One day, Mashiro Shiina—a cute girl who happens to be also a cosmopolitan, brilliant artist—moves into Sakurasou.
Sorata thinks to himself that he should protect Mashiro from the weirdos at Sakurasou, but Mashiro has a surprising secret: she has no idea how to take care of herself. She gets lost if she goes out, and her room is a complete mess. Sorata's dorm mates designate him as the "master" of Mashiro, and thus, an ordinary boy and a brilliant girl must live like "a master and his pet."

Personal Ratings: 3.5
I think that this show has the proper balance between serious and comedy. 
Though the transactions between the two may be a little too fast some times. I also think that the 2nd half of the anime has more serious and sad parts to it, as compared to the first half of the anime where is there is more comedy. 

I've seen many anime of the same type of genre (leaving in dorms with weird people). And I think that what really made this anime stand out more within the same types of anime is the proper balance of serious and comedy. It does not only focus on comedy, but also more logical comedy. This really helps the views to relate to the anime, especially when they are talking about the different points of views of people with talents and people without.
The difference between the talented ones and the hard working ones. I think this part of the anime, which is probably the main message that the anime wants to convey to the viewers. 
Each and every character in the anime really plays a part in conveying the message. Which I really liked. Because the anime shows different point of views and the different situations. 
The last episode was so touching! Honestly thought that it would be a total happy ending. So I was really surprised when the ending was half sad and half happy. 

I find that the anime is kind of incomplete, because even though it's clear that the main character likes Shiina and Shiina likes the main character, it was never really liked finalized. 
Also find that there are some parts of the show that wasn't really needed. (especially the excessive undergarments).
I also thought that the change in Ryuunosuke was too sudden. Because the whole of the first part of the anime, he was never out of his room. But in the 2nd half of the anime, he was rarely not seen.

I'm hoping that there is a 2nd season for this show!!



Art Ratings: 3.5
I liked the art. Even though when you see it from far, it doesn't seem very nice (especially since the eyes are very edgy). But in the animation, it was really nice.
