I finally saw this much-hyped anime... and honestly, it truly lives up to that hype! This is no ordinary lovey-dovey kind of high-school romance. No-sir: here love is a battlefield - literally!
Yes, it's a romantic-comedy, but on steroids. It is psychological, brilliant, and outrageously dramatic. No scenes with explicit connotations but with definitely an adult mentality involved. The crux of the show is: "Whoever confesses first loses"... so Kaguya and Miyuki are locked in an intense game of mind where emotion and strategy intermingle.
Come on, don't we all in some way or the other? Especially guys: afraid of rejection, afraid of damaging their friendship, hoping the other person takes the first step. And now, ladies? They'll flirt, tease, and corner you until you fall the hardest.
From the clever writing to the perfect comic timing, this anime is full of "aha" moments and truths we can all relate to. If you like your love stories with a little brains (and a bunch of laughs), this is the one to watch.
An easy 8 out of 10 from me.
S1 done - and next on my list!

I kept this anime on the watchlist for some time and now that I finally have, I can say only one thing-TOTALLY WORTH IT!
At first sight, it looks like your new typical high school drama-but no! It is a full-throttle psychological thriller under the disguise of a school anime. Every scene, every conversation, every little bit in the background matters. One of those rare anime where if you blink, you miss something very important.
No superpowers. No aliens. No over-the-top fantasy. It's just plain old mind games, manipulation, strategy, and wily social power plays. The kind of anime that makes you question everyone's real intentions around you-even those of the protagonist.
The show gives you a little tease in the early parts of Season 1 by saying that all the students are "special" and believe me, finding out why is half the fun. If you savor end twists, agonizing suspense and a deadpan, silent main character-that's your show.
I'd give Season 1 an 8 out of 10; now I'm stoked to see what awaits Season 2.
