Review of Horimiya

HoriMiya is a fun, relaxing, wholesome anime. Almost all the of the main cast is fleshed out and given depth. The two protagonists, Miyamura and Hori, are both very loveable, and they make a great couple. Their interactions together can be either wholesome or funny, but either way, it's a guarantee that you will enjoy it when they're on screen. But even without them in the spotlight, the supporting cast can do just as well, sometimes even better, at bringing life to the story. All the characters feel real and relatable in some way. The story is simple yet engaging. The idea of the story isvery basic, and while that may be a turnoff for many, I think it's great. It's somehow able to make such a basic idea of a show into a fan favorite romance anime. Even though the series is only 13 episodes long, those 13 episode told a story that is saved deep into my heart.

The art does a fantastic job of conveying the emotions and the mood of each scene. I'm no expert on art, but I can say it looks clean, and it does a perfectly good job of doing what its meant to. Of course it's not going to be as flashy as something like Demon Slayer in terms of art and animation, as this isn't an action anime, but its subtle details do just fine as well.

It's very enjoyable too, the comedy is on point, the romance is realistic and not overly-romanticized, overall, it's one of my favorite anime of all time. I could rewatch it several times and not get bored of it.
