Review of Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro

I think we have been rather blessed with the amount of romance anime that have been released these past few seasons and to top it all this season. Don’t toy with me Miss Nagatoro. When I first started to watch it, I was apprehensive of how it would adapt to animation as well as how other people would view the anime, but those quickly became apparent from Episode 1. But I was rather happy with it all in all. I watched it every week and loved every episode. I thought the pacing was good, the story tied in well and the amount of episodes/time wasperfect. The way the episodes progressed, started and finished was perfect. It didn’t exactly leave me hanging on the next episode, but it just kept me interested enough that I’d watch the following episode the following week. I didn’t get bored with this series either.

I liked the characters when I thought I wouldn’t. I thought I wouldn’t like their personality’s, but they quickly grew on me when I saw them in different environments and under different emotions.

The opening and endings were quite catchy as well. I mean the opening is an instant, “oh I know what that anime is” tune, and the ending grew on me slowly. I thought the ost was alright at times and served its purpose well. What really drew me in was the sound effects. Like the wind in the classroom, when they were drawing etc...

To nail it off the art was perfect I feel like it transcribed well to how it looked in the manga. It kept to the colour palette and theme. Which was lovely because that doesn’t particularly happen all too often.

Overall, I really enjoyed it from start and especially the finish. It left me feeling all warm inside and completely content. They could make a season 2 and that’d be a bonus but that was perfect as it was. To top it off, i'm already considering re-watching it.
