I can't believe how much I enjoyed Pretear. I loved it from start to finish and I especially became a big fan of the romantic relationship between Himeno and Hayate. This series has everything: magic, romance, comedy, mystery, family, tragedy etc. Honestly, I love this anime so much that I wish it made more than 13 episodes. This series is so underrated. I loved everything, the characters, storyline, romance. Everything was perfect that I honestly have no complaints. All the characters were fun and entertaining to watch, especially all their unique personalities and funny antics, wether they were Himeno's family or the Leafe Knights.
I felt such immense chemistry between Himeno and Hayate. The beginning of their relationship is a classic rocky start, especially because of Hayate refusing to accept Himeno as the new magical girl. However, as they gradually get to know, understand and learn more about each other, their relationship begins to grow and improve until the romance between them begins to truly blossom. Himeno and Hayate have such a sweet love story and I felt such strong love and chemistry in every one of their romantic scenes throughout the series and I enjoyed every minute. Aside from the main romance, I really liked how Pretear also focused on the topic of unrequited love and how it played a role in the mystery of the anime.
I also felt this series was very relatable regarding all the family issues that both Himeno and Mawata were facing. Himeno feeling like an outsider in her new family since her stepmother and stepsisters didn't seem very accepting of her and believed no one would care if she wasn't around anymore. Mawata's problems were even more saddening, feeling all alone with no one noticing her suffering, especially the fact she was still dealing with the death of her father. I can definitely understand and sympathise with them, but it certainly reminds you to be more aware and sensitive to the people's feelings around you.
Overall, Pretear is one of the best and most underrated anime series I've ever seen. I loved every minute and I'll enjoy watching it again and again and would definitely recommend this series for others to watch and enjoy too.
