Review of Nisekoi: False Love

Really interesting, and re-watchable romance & comedy title. The story, the plot and well, pretty much the entire concept of Nisekoi were all very interesting. Not the best of the genre however the show was pretty decent. I liked that even though the show was full of cliche's it still retained it's own uniqueness a feat made possible with the support of studio shaft. Now, things got a bit complicated for me during the whole "Tachibana arc" or "Childhood friend arc" This was because I was so used to the triangle between Onoderna and Chitoge. Not to mention I liked the idea of the mystery girlwho Raku knew only being between Kosaki or Chitoge. For a new character to be dropped so late was a bit unacceptable to me. Then again, when I think more about it, the show is 20 episodes so maybe I'm just making a big deal out of it. My overall feeling for the story of Nisekoi was pretty good. I must admit that it was a pain in the ass watching the obvious love and drama drag on for so long however and to a certain extent, I think it was all worth it in the end. I mean, it didn't deliver much of a satisfying ending however I still thought it was pretty good. I don't really want to spoil anything.

Appearances visuals and animation was pretty amazing. I mean, it's a shaft production so I expected good quality visuals and special effects. Background settings and objects really stood out. In addition to that, I really enjoyed seeing the Special effects in the opening song but I digress. Perhaps one of my favorite features in Nisekoi is the visual appearance. Colorful, vibrant, and great to look at. I am pretty damn fond of shaft's decisions (for the most part) when it comes to what shows they want to work on.

Now for characters, they were pretty decent. I liked that Raku was similar to Araragi from Nisio Isin Monogatari series. Another infamous show that Shaft has worked on. Albeit he's not too much of a pervert like Koyomi but, butt-cheeks, he's still a pretty likable guy. Moving along, I honestly didn't care for the selection of main characters. Kosaki was probably my favorite, out of the main three. Chitoge and Raku I just.. I couldn't get into them that much. The supporting characters felt like they were there just for show, I felt like there was nothing interesting about them. I love the character designs, I mean, I thought Kosaki was adorable! and maybe Chitoge sometimes too. I liked lots of the designs again, mostly for Kosaki's though. Her out of school outfits were always nice.

Music and sound was pretty great. I didn't have a favorite song from the soundtrack however, that didn't really change how I felt about the BGM. Seiyuu's, again did a pretty damn good job fulfilling their roles and bringing their perspective characters to life. The queen Kana Hanazawa does a great job fulfilling her role as Kosaki and the other voice actors are alright too. OP & ED songs were okay too. I personally didn't care for em'.

Overall, I felt that Nisekoi was a pretty enjoyable, and memorable title. It is the type of show that I would recommend if you like slow titles that also have lots of developments along the way. I gave Nisekoi 8.3/10 because I felt that even though it had its moments of disappointments, It still delivered a great amount of drama, suspense and comedy!
