Comprehensive?  Nope.  Objective? As if.  But it is a batch of great romances in one writer’s opinion. Read more

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun: Tonari no Gokudou-kun (OAD)

October 29, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Movie/OVA, reviews, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Comments (10)

I can never watch one of these without big-time mixed-emotions. Ah, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun – another great anime that tanked commercially.  My endorsement (I ranked it #6 in a quite strong 2012) is surely the kiss of death for any series, but no matter how many times it happens it […] Read more

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun – 13 (End) and Series Review

Since this is the last time I’m going to be able to say it about a TV episode, I’m going to repeat myself one more time – I love Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. Brains Base just delivers.  They deliver with original series, they deliver with adaptations, and they even deliver with […] Read more

Damn you, Brains Base – why must you torture us with masterful adaptations that stop in the middle? It won’t be spoiling much suspense when I say that Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is a lock for my 2012 Top Ten list, and the reasons are manifold.  In fact, one interesting thing […] Read more

I’ve never seen an anime romance quite like this one – and I mean that entirely in a good way. As much as any show this year, Tonari no Kabutsu-kun is the one I’m disappointed to see ending when it is.  If ever a show had so much more story […] Read more

Have I mentioned that I love this show?  No?  Well, then let me say it again – I love this show. Talk about value – Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun continues to overdeliver in every department.  It’s a romance that’s much more than a romance.  A show about a couple in love […] Read more

There’s no need to mince words – every week I grow more impressed by just how excellent Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is. There are a couple of ways one could go about trying to explain the appeal of this series, starting with the most obvious: list all the things it does […] Read more

We have a situation in the two shoujo romances this season where the lead couple probably shouldn’t be together, but for entirely different reasons. This is a series that really cries out for a longer adaptation, because it’s hard to see any way that four more episodes are going to do it […] Read more

No question about it – in terms of charm and originality, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is the most interesting shoujo romance to come along in quite some time. There are a lot of reasons why I find this show so appealing, starting with the animation and the really creative and even […] Read more

It seems fitting considering the theme of this episode that this was the week my affection for Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun turned into love. There was so much happening this week that I could start almost anywhere with this ep, and why it was such a good one – it’s an […] Read more
