Review of Nisekoi: False Love

*CONTAINS SPOILERS* (This review was edited because I kind of violated some of the rules so please enjoy reading it.) Have you ever had that feeling when you haven't watched an anime for like 6 or 8 months or so? Well, I have. Finishing Nisekoi, so far it had become quite an exclusive journey to laughter, mystery and loads of astonishment. It finally helped me quench my thirst for anime. To begin with, just for fun, I shall make a review about this series in a reverse way; from, my overall perspective about this anime to the thoughts about the synopsis and its story line. Having said this Ishall begin my point of view.

For the most part I can't autonomously say that this is a GREAT and OUTSTANDING anime because it is a shoujo theme kind of anime. For starters, I am a bit reluctant to watch this at first because I am getting real tired of the on and on blabbing about school motif kind of shoujo because almost all shoujo anime pertains to large high school groups and settings so let's not forget that love is in the subject of every girly anime. However, I didn't hesitate because I wanted to see more of it after reading its plot. I kind of enjoyed witnessing every scene of nostalgic thought and I kinda felt happy that there is an anime that is funny and comfortable to watch. All in all, it may have some unoriginal attributes but the modern classic of Japanese anime shows that has a cute storyline of harem with a modern twist, became a true cup of tea.
This is getting way too old to answer, did I enjoy it? Yes but sometimes there are parts where you just want to skip it. Like the long and odd stares that just takes too much time to harness the main idea of the episode. There are also annoying gossip mongers in and out of the circle of the main characters and the subordinating characters. Too much for the secret convos. The longevity also of the anime itself takes too much for a very simple plot but on the lighter side, the manga is still under construction so no worries for the ending IN THE MANGA. I know that the ending of the anime has missing holes and is very disappointing so it ruined everything for me.
Okay, this might sound bipolar, but all I'm trying to say is that it is an anime which will make your time worth spending. It's just that how can you put all the awesomeness in just 20 episodes? Seriously, HOW?! A piece of advice, watch it while you can and read the manga while you still have time because God knows how busy we are in the future. Just saying.

Yes, my all time favorite topic, THE CHARACTERS IN THE STORY.
First off, some of the characters exactly resemble the personality and looks of the characters in the anime,Toradora. In my opinion, I think these characters are like them but the story, not so much.

Raku Ichijo kind of looks like Takasu and is also a bit of a neat freak and a magnificent cook (Although Raku's neatness can be only seen in some episodes). He is an incredibly nice guy and he is a bit unmanly for some reason. Both of them share an ultimate crush for someone who has short hair. For Raku, it is Onodera and Takasu for Minorin. They both are average students but they are chick magnets for some reason and to top it all out, their hair color are both dark blue. . (how's that for a dejavu.)

Chitoge Kirisaki, the rich girl who always have a brute strength and punches people because she just hates them so much. Kinda rings a bell doesn't it? Alright, you may or may not guessed it but she is like Taiga.

Maiko Shu has glasses and also has the tendency to think of evil schemes. Much like Kitamura but on the latter side, Kitamura only made a few evil schemes and Shu isn't that smart.

Agree or Disagree? Well, I don't care. Setting aside the Toradora characters and Nisekoi Characters similarities they have awesome features too.

Raku can be a loud mouth but he talks funny and thinks funny too.
Chitoge is loved by many people and she has a phobia in some stuff.
Shu has a perverted personality which is kinda surprising.
Onodera is a personality of a typical shoujo dream gril who is shy and cute.
Ruri has a creepy aura sometimes but tries her best to help her friend, Onodera.

People would often have an interest to Chitoge Kirisaki, the girl with yellow and purple hair (I think) but, My favorite character is between Raku and Shu because they are extremely funny.
For girls, without a doubt it has to be Ruri because let's face it, every woman wants to have her as a friend (example, yours truly :))

The music has a tangy and lively vibe to it. It has background music for drama and comedy as well. School background effects are highly anticipated in this anime. For the opening and ending, I haven't cared for it since episode 1 and I haven't heard the whole song because I'm about the anime's synopsis. But Claris did a good job for the opening.

The drawing is modernized 2D animation which supplied a massive enjoyment to my eyes and view on the series. Love the color of the characters' hairs and their clothes too. The eye design surely captivated the emotions of the characters. Playful crafts of the background like for example making the classroom all green and only highlighting the character’s talking.

Story is very good although there are some points that aren't original however it has some exceptional writing too. Imagine a world where you will have a fake relationship with someone who you've met for the first time and actually you hated each other and treat each other like enemies and call each other names that are "honey" and "darling" but in reality you call each other "bean sprout" and "gorilla" which is obviously different. Nisekoi or fake love did just that. Two characters involve themselves in a mistaken couple love which is just for pretend. If failed to make it real, gangsters ad yakuzas will eventually destroy a city. Sounds weird? Yes that's weird. True love is indeed the answer for peace, sounds disgusting for me. On the other hand, both have an ideal boy for themselves but what if chemistry eventually shows up?
The diegesis is like the one from Maburaho when in time, the guy will pick one among the 3 girls who made his heart skipped a beat which I will not mention who but you have to wait for it. This anime builds a love story like no other. It is actually surprising to know and intriguing because who knows which girl will Raku end up with. It is a mystery. There is also a weird locket and multiple keys that will show a really systematic construction on Raku's destiny. It is all up to him whether he will choose the girl he's been crushing on for like his whole school life, or the girl who is tough at first but kinda sweet, or the fiancee slash the girl who may be the promise girl. Sounds complicated doesn't it? The only option to know is to see the beauty of this mystical anime. No magic just marvelous happenings.
Not convinced? GET A LIFE! :D
