Review of Horimiya

I really recommend this anime, It started with a banger and I was really hooked on it for the rest of the anime. Wish I really could give this anime a higher rating but the anime started rushing things and cookie cutting the story. Story: They definitely pulled the "hey look at me I'm different" anime and I didn't mind it as it led me to explore this anime further. It was different for about 3-4 episodes in and then it started becoming the usual. If you like jumping between different character stories, this is perfect. The story is suppose to be focused on Hori and Miyamura,but instead, the anime jumps between different characters and does not really explore any of them deep enough. everything feels rushed for only 13 episodes.

Art: Idk maybe I'm wrong, but as time goes by the quality of art is hopefully going up. This anime has amazing animation, personally it looks different from other anime's. Mostly because the anime does its best to follow the same art designs as the one from the manga.

Sound: All I can say is that the music does fit the vibes its trying to convey.

Characters: all the characters are very likable and I really enjoyed it. maybe if they gave each character 6 episodes or a season each, it would be amazing. I felt like I was watching an upcoming romance anime for each character. Overall, it created anime stands rather than finishing the story.

Ending: Maybe if this anime was 2 seasons (24 episodes each) I would rate this anime on one of my top for romance/slice-of-life. If you watch the anime until the end, you will feel unresolved just like other rushed anime's ex. (My little Monster & say I Love You).
