Review of Nisekoi: False Love

So boy meets girl, they hate each other but are somehow forced to be together for utterly unrealistic circumstances. To top it off after this event, several girls just "happened" to appear and fall in love with our main character which is supposed to be a super dense and ordinary high school student. The anime is about the daily crazy things that happen around these characters and how their relations develop. I probably just described a ton of anime. There is simply nothing new that this anime has to offer. the Harem formula has been completely exploited over the past years and yet this series managesto stand out over the others. Nisekoi its a great example of why something being overdone doesn't mean its bad as long as you do it right.

The story is basically set up to force our characters to be together but they managed to do it in a very comical way. The characters are the usual archetypes but they are all very enjoyable and very easy to relate to. I specially enjoyed that there is a fair amount of exposure even for "secondary heroins" (The manga is still ongoing so who knows).

The scenarios are and settings are crazy enough to be very entertaining but not so much that it becomes ridiculous or forced. Yeah, it might be super predictable after a bit and some situations are SUPER improbable but who cares if its not that realistic? this show acknowledges that and manages to laugh at itself.

Technically speaking there is not much to say. The art is great, it's pretty and comical which matches the atmosphere of the series remarkably good. Same goes with the soundtrack, it might not be the best and memorable one but it matches the atmosphere very well.

I really enjoyed this series. If you are something light, something where you don't need to think but just accept everything and laugh then I recommend this a lot. It might be a romcom harem but its very well executed with all the strong points that made this such a popular genre these days.
