Review of Rumbling Hearts

This is soap opera anime (what I call Romantic Drama) at its finest, with cliff-hangers at the end of nearly every episode that really suck you in. The personalities, the conflicts, and nearly everything else feel quite real, and will pull on your heart strings a little bit. Situations are not cut and dry, so you won't always be sure what the correct line of action is for Takayuki. Animation is average to good, but the real draw to the series is the story and direction, which will draw you in and not let go until you finish the final episode. Don't be surprised whenyour roommate or significant other who normally doesn't watch anime gets into this with you.

Highly recommended, even if you don't normally watch this type of anime.
