This anime is a damn masterpiece, from art, music and everything. The op got me grooving all 50 episodes. This anime is just breathtaking, it ends with a cliffhanger, plotwist and is an absolute masterpiece. Leonardo DaVinci would definetely be proud. This anime cured my depression, it made me have a positive outlook on the world. Nothing stands near this, it's the BEST anime in the world. One Piece is a no, JoJo is a no, Naruto is a no, this is an anime made by Jesus Christ himself, it's so perfect on so many levels that I'm actually in love. Thank you, Jesus Christ.

Note: Excuse my poor English. This Anime is damn a masterpiece !!!!! It may not be that popular , but if you find it you must really watch it , and you'll regret ignoring it ! I watched it first time 7 years ago when it was aired on TV for first time in another Dub , I remember that I really enjoyed it ,but after this long period of time , I forgot what is was about , and after seeing it here on MAL I decided to rewatch it and enjoy it in its original version , and I was soshocked when I realized that the version I watched missed so much scenes , and changed some lines ... This review is based on the second time I watched it so keep this in mind ! nnStory (9)nnThe story is so unique , beautiful , heartwarming and so deep if you follow and understand it well . You may think that it's childish but it's really not ! It includes adults , and it's full mystery too... The story behind the Kirumins , and Both the Mikogami and Hatori families too are so deep , a bit complicated but also so beautiful !! The story mixed both emotional and comedy scenes in a such perfect way !! nnArt (10) nnI just adored the Art style of this Anime series , It got even the small details to be so beautiful , cute and matching with outfits and backgrounds ; such as the small cute hearts in Riko and Rimu's (that you won't see that much ) eyes or the stars in Nagisa and Ken's eyes are so cute !! Also the costumes have so much details in it that will keep you starring at them for the whole scene ! I'm pretty sure that you'll love it !nnSound (8)nnThe OP even that it's the same for the whole 50 episodes , but it's so freaking catchyyy !!!! You'll never get bored of it ! And I think that it was a good idea to not change it after a few episodes , and I can also say that I didn't skip it for a single time !! I think that it's a kind of wierd Thai song !nThe ED themes are so calm and cute , specially the second one ! I really did enjoyed them !nThe background music is so coool ! It keeps you excited and it really does fit every single scene ! Specially the transformations ones ! nnCharacter (10)nnEvery single character in this series has its own charm . I don't know how to describe it , for example Riko is a really curious , noisy and courageous person , while her sister is shy , kind and deep and she becomes a totally different person after removing her glasses ( I mean prettier ) .. Ken is special , and also a person who loves challenges a lot and his best friend Tamao…

Story (7) It was really cute and heartfelt. It had me go to the edge of my seat since there was a plot forming. It had those comedy relief moments and also made my tears jerk..However..there were potential canon pairings in this anime...But I was highly disappointed it didn't go further than that. All I can say is that I was really disappointed in the ending. Not going to spoil it though. Find out yourself. Art (10) I love love LOVE the art style. The little hearts in Riko's eyes were simply so adorable. The transformation scenes were so pretty to look at. Sound (9) The OP and ED themesare sure catchy. Sung by the same group. The OP theme is sung in Thai so that makes it unique. The background music could have been better though. Didn't really fit the setting at times.nnCharacter (8)nnThey had some character developments here and there then suddenly stopped..For having 50 episodes, they could have worked better on that. Some episodes pulled that off, but when it gotten near the ending..Disappointing.nnEnjoyment/Overall (7)nnSee above why I like the anime and I don't like it at the same time.
