Review of My Love Story!!

Coming into this series, I was expecting a generic, decent romance series. I thought that I probably wouldn't enjoy it too much. Then I started watching the series and I was taken in by the really nice animation. I thought that the characters would just be generic but it turned out that they weren't. To start off, the main character (Takeo Gouda) is a sort of threatening looking person who is not really liked by girls. People get scared of him due to his size but truly he's a big softy who just wants to help people. There's his best friend (Sunakawa) who is prettymuch the opposite of Takeo. All the girls love him and he is shorter and less intimidating. Throughout the series, girls see him as the most beautiful person they have ever seen.
Then, theirs Takeos girlfriend (Yamato Rinko) who is a sweet girl that falls in love with Takeo after he helped her. Throughout the series, Yamato and Takeo get closer and closer together, showing that they love each other. Yamato also makes food for Takeo to show her appreciation and love towards him.
All the characters in this series are interesting, all having their own unique quirks which help to present them. Takeo is the overly protective boyfriend who won't let anything bad happen to Yamato. Yamato is a sweet and cute girl who is sometimes awkward when talking with others, especially to do with Takeo. She also likes to bake cakes for Takeo. Sunakawa is the sort of shy, popular character who is the centre of attention to most girls. He also really likes reading and is seen as a pretty boy to the girls, not knowing that he doesn't want to be with anyone.
The art in the series looks beautiful and fluent, with some small areas that could be improved on. The soundtrack to the series is quite lovely, perfectly capturing the mood of the situation. The characters are likable and the way they act can be quite close to others in real life. The story and setting of the series are nice. The way that the whole love story is dealt with is really well as the people making the series knew what they were doing and learnt from other similar series.
It is a cute, refreshing series that can keep a good balance of emotion to it. If you haven't watched this series already, go watch it. You won't regret it.
I recommend that anybody who likes to watch nice, romantic series should definitely watch this series.
This is quite a long review but to be honest, I made this review as short as I could due to the fact that I would have probably, eventually spoiled the series.
