The first thing I did when I woke up this morning, you ask? I watched more. But after watching four episodes I figured I should go to sleep. When I started this early this morning, (like at one or two am) I didn't want to stop. That being said, I feel as if it could have used a few more episodes to further develop the characters, as it ended fairly ambiguously in regards to said characters. The characters, I found were all very unique and distinct from one another, yet still maintain their personality as they developed. I will say I adore the soundtrack though, it's really mellow, and I could probably listen to it whilst going to sleep. The opening song is pretty average for the Shouju genre (or at least the ones I've seen), and I admittedly don't think that much for the ending song either.

Though not as stunning as others, I also love the eye designs, especially Shizuku and Haru's. In the second episode I believe it's raining and the shot holds on the rain and the puddle. The animation during any of the sunset scenes are absolutely stunning. The art while nice and clean, is nothing special, however there are aspects and moments that are really beautiful.

On multiple occasions I found myself laughing out loud, I even almost squirted milk up my nose. It was listed under the comedy section, so I figured I'd give it a shot, to break it up from all the serious anime I've been watching lately.Needless to say, the comedy did not disappoint. pacing issues were non-existent due to a scene that happens at the end of the first episode that surprised and intrigued me, but I won't spoil it here. However, I'm glad I didn't, because it turned out to be quite enjoyable. I will say that I almost clicked out on the first episode due to pacing issues. (I just finished Noragami yesterday and that one was very complex.) The story is quite simplistic, but I didn't really mind that much. While not an entirely unique story nor complex, I still found it entertaining. The premise seemed interesting a studious, no nonsense, anti-social girl named Shizuku finds a friend in a hostile boy Haru. So while scrolling through Netflix during the ungodly hours of the early morning, I came across Tonari no Kaibutsu-Kun.
