Review of Horimiya

I don't get how this anime ended up on anyone's favorites list. Is it the animation, art style, or voice actors? Because it definitely can't be the plot—it's nothing special. No climax, just a regular couple with a plain story about a quiet boy and loud girl. Usually, I'm so in love with those kinds of plots but this anime somehow managed to ruin it. I found myself more interested in the side characters' romantic stories, which says a lot. It feels like those who love this anime haven't watched many other romance anime before. It's more slice of life than romance—something you can casuallywatch, but it doesn't grab you. Somehow, it managed to keep me bored throughout all 13 episodes. I only finished it because I wanted to know what the hype was about, but honestly, I still don't see why people talk about it.
