Review of Nisekoi: False Love

Well then, the 20 episode anime has just ended, so, time to make a review and I'm just gonna make is simple and direct; Story: Good 7. Ok, so the plot about two warring crime families who have decide to end their conflict by having the gang boss's child to marry another gang boss's child, such plot have some similarities with Romeo and Juliet, but in this case it's Romeo hates Juliet, but have no choice and just play along. Thought it may be another one of those harem themed animes, such twist however does deliver such uniqueness, to this anime's story plot. Art: Poor 3. Ok, Chitoge isthe only one who wore knee high socks, I guess it's a give that every anime should have a character who must wear such garment, but it was kinda unfair to only limit it to her, also there is Tsugumi where I would never understand why she has to be in a school boy's uniform combine with a hair ribbon that make her look like a straight guy who is trying hard to be gay, what even worse was that she sport a different guy's school uniform where if I were this anime/manga's illustrator I would have her wore a gakuran, then again I might have her wore a girl's school uniform since she looks hot in it. About Tachibana, I also a bit disappointing as to why she has to be in her former school's school uniform that makes her look like a granny and frankly she would have look cute wearing the same school uniform that Onodera wore. There is that long yellow tie thingy in front of the girls school uniform where I can's say if it's a noose to hang themselves with or some kind of useless, dorky and embarrassing accessory that them girls have to wear, now c'mon why couldn't this anime/manga's illustrator just limit it to a certain length? Then again, just leave it to them Jap's to come up with some dorky school accessory for an anime/manga school girl's uniform.

Sound: Very Good 8.

I just love the two opening songs of this anime where I can't wait to download it as soon as it hits "Gendou.Com." Oh yeah, it's already in "Gendou.Com."

Character: Fair 6.

I think it would be better to explain each of the cast as to why I give it a 6.

Raku- basically your typical harem boy, but unlike any harem boy, this guy has someone in his sights and yes it's Onodera. However, he is also a dichotomy where he plans to keep his promise to a girl who has the key to the pendant he's been holding for 10 years. The problem, was that he is in a situation where there are 3 key holders to the pendant he's holding. What irks me about him was that there is a clear indication that whoever has the key to his pendant he will still go for Onodera. Frankly, I would have given this part an 8, but since this charater may be funny at one point, I also find him annoying.

Chitoge- a typical tsundere girl......she and Raku may have had some sweet moments with each other but I kinda love to hate her. Oh and her hair ribbon kinda make her look like a she devil, in fact "Gorilla" isn't a good moniker for her, in fact Raku should have referred to her as "Yokai onna" or "devil girl."

Onodera- what I like about her, was that she really has that girl friend material for Raku and I'm glad that there is the end arc where she gets to be with him. But it ain't enough to give this part an 8.

Marika- ok, she is actually my 2nd choice if ever that Raku X Onodera arc doesn't come forth, to me I personally believe that she is the actual holder of the key that will open Raku's pendant, however, I can't seem to fathom that Raku was a bit reluctant to be near her....where I'm thinking that he maybe a masochist where he has gotten hooked with Chitoge's physical abuse. Frankly, I kinda pity her.

Seishirou- ok so she is this tough girl, but more like a girl who is trigger happy, she may look cute.......if she were to be in a girl's school uniform, but, too bad that her role is just limited to such extent, and I don't know what else to make of her.

Enjoyment: Very Good.

The romantic comedy was very good, and very enjoyable. There were of course the sweet moments where the guy get's to spend with each girl, that I find sweet and just just sweet, but very sweet indeed.

Overall: Fair 6.

It maybe enjoyable to watch, but let's not forget that this anime has failed to show us audience as to what is inside Raku's pendant, which unfortunately leaves this anime to have a crucial open ending, and I'm not impress that such open ending has left us audience's curiosity be hanged.
