Kotoura-san Anime Review

(Almost entirely adapted from my MAL review)


This is my first review, so please bear with me!

Kotoura-san is basically about a girl, named Haruka Kotoura, who has ESP. Unfortunately, due to her ESP, her life has been completely ruined. That is, until she meets Yoshihisa Manabe, who, despite his perverted nature, accepts her as a friend. It's basically about Haruka finding love and acceptance, despite the disasters in her past.

This was one of the anime I had planned to watch during the Winter 2013 season, but I forgot about it until earlier this year. I thought that Kotoura-san would be a comedy, and for the most part, I was right (and a great one, at that). Trust me, I laughed at nearly every joke there was in this series, even Manabe-kun's fantasies about Kotoura! It's not just comedy, though; it has a touch of drama in it, too, along with romance between Kotoura and Manabe-kun. I think Kotoura-san is one of the only anime that can mix rom-com and drama that well.

This series also has great music! I fell in love with the OP very quickly, and it took me a while to like the ED, too, but I did! Also, you either like or hate all of the characters because of that little spark they have about them. The art and animation isn't the best, but you'll get used to it.

My opinion? Kotoura-san is definitely an anime worth the watch. Don't pay attention to the relatively low score it has on MAL; it's much better than that. I know what's on your mind right now; you want to watch Kotoura-san right away. Go ahead!
