Review time!
Ao Haru Ride
This anime is about two people, Kou and Futaba who should have gotten together when they were young but due to a series of events, never expressed their feelings for each other. Kou leaves school and Futaba, who is naturally cute, starts to try and become unattractive to boys so that she won't be ostracized by the other females. Three years later, she's gotten the hang of it and is comfortable with her friends when she notices Kou is back in her school, with a different last name.
The series then progresses through them getting to know each other better and realize their feelings. It isn't overwhelmingly stereotypical like some shojo anime's and has a good balance of emotions. Since it's balanced well and the characters are lovable, it really takes you on rollercoaster of emotions yourself as you watch or read.
I watched it one day and spent the next day reading the rest of the manga since there isn't a season 2. It's an addictive, cute love story with great animation. The soundtrack compliments it without overpowering the scene.
My rating: 8.75/10
