Otonari no tenshi-sama ni itsu no ma ni ka dame-ningen ni sareteita ken

After finishing "The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten", I felt kind of spoiled in regards to how GREAT the build up to this story culminated towards the final episode.

First off, the unique animation set itself apart by illustrating subtle, but abstract character design against seemingly simple settings, whether in school or back at the apartment complex; the latter, especially, seems to pose as the core setting for a majority of the heart-to-heart interactions between our 2 main characters, Mahiru Shiina and Amane Fujimiya.

Alongside these two, we also have Itsuki Akasawa and Chitose Shirakawa, who also strongly encourage and push the two together, regardless of how strikingly distinct their personalities are (at FIRST).

In addition, Itsuki and Chitose also present a prime example of how a couple mingles and stays together, no matter the trials, as they also had some hurdles to jump over when the spotlight presents their story in a new light. Rarely do I get to see side characters have their stories put out there the way Itsuki and Chitose's relationship did, and, I must say that I'm pleased to see that these two are incorporated and add just as much to the overall story as people who we can relate to when witnessing the exposition of how The Angel spoils Amane rotten!

Furthermore, the music also really uplifts the anime where it needs to; such instances would include the opening and the ending themes. In the opening, there's an upbeat, vibrant rhythm that sort of wakes up the viewer in anticipation for the next episode, while the ending concludes the current episode on a subtle, but lighthearted note. Not to mention having visuals to emphasize the intention of how the music is utilized.

Overall, I really need to express, once more, at how impressive the "Exposition" of this story turned out; You'll know what I mean once you watch this through. From the steady build up of the main relationship in general to the various doubts and internal struggles each character has along the way, the flow in which this anime creates seems to blend fluently within the not-so-surprising runtime of 12 episodes.

I would LOVE to see a more though, as it seems things are only just beginning as our two MCs get more and more closer through to the end. In my opinion, it would make sense to continue onto the next chapter to further elevate to, for example, how Clannad extended their anime to narrate their MCs, Tomoya and Nagisa's relationship beyond school and later in life. Though, "The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten" doesn't necessarily need to go beyond school as Mahiru and Amane are still 1st-years in high school, providing plenty of time to really express their ever flourishing relationship into a couple we all saw coming before they graduate. Plus, there's also the other characters to notice as Itsuki and Chitose can provide even more support and advice for Mahiru and Amane to consider and utilize as they grow closer together alongside a mature, but friendly Yuuta Kadowaka. And let's not forget, of course, the helicopter-like parents of Amane, Shinto and Shihoko Fujimiya.

In conclusion, I want to see more of what this anime can offer beyond this terrific first season. Because I may as well say that this show itself teased my expectations and spoiled ME rotten!!!

It can be said that it is a well-made emotional anime, maybe at first glance, it seems like a fantasy to some people, but with more accuracy, somehow the director depicted the experience of forming a deep romantic relationship drop by drop based on the needs of both parties with a gentle slant on the other hand, concepts such as attention to others, the need for love in everyone, selflessness, love, loneliness, decency and hard work are emphasized by the director, and you can see the great impact of each and every small action of people on the life path of others.

If you are looking for a sweet and enjoyable experience without major concerns, I recommend it to you, it's a pure slice-of-life anime.

This anime was a great watch. The romance is innocent and subtle and slowly builds up to something you'll find yourself invested in. Both protagonists are strong characters with individually strong personalities and it's quite the journey seeing how both characters intertwine throughout the episodes. Not only that but the side characters also have equally strong parts to play as well.

The ending was very heartwarming and has me extremely excited for the recently announced season 2. There's a bunch of questions left unanswered so I'm excited to see the story continue.

If you're looking for a love story to indulge in, this is it.

Can't wait for the second season.

Enjoying to watch all the characters in the story. Hopefully 2nd season will expand more bout other characters but at the same time show the lovely progress between Amane & Mahiru.

Waiting to :- 1) Amane high school story before moving to Seijo High School. His parents.

2) Mahiru childhood. What happens to her. How she adapt with that.

3) Other characters like Itsuki, Chitose etc

4) Season 1 Synopsis:-

Amane lives alone in an apartment, and the most beautiful girl in school, Mahiru, lives just next door. They have almost never spoken despite being in the same class-until the day he sees her in distress on a rainy day and lends her his umbrella. To return the favor, she offers him help around the house, and a relationship slowly begins to blossom as the distance between them closes.

"The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten" is a heartwarming and delightful anime that beautifully captures the essence of a gentle romance between two seemingly different characters. The story revolves around Amane and Mahiru, two high school students who are neighbors and slowly form a special connection that goes beyond friendship. Their growing bond is portrayed with tender moments and touching scenes that showcase the power of kindness and genuine affection. The anime's animation is crisp and vibrant, enhancing the emotional depth of each interaction. The character development is sincere and relatable, making you root for the pair as their relationship blossoms. With its charming narrative and sweet moments, this anime is a must-watch for anyone looking for a feel-good, wholesome experience that will leave you with a smile on your face. That's how I find the best couple in anime by showing honesty to each other.
