    Sweet moments

    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.

    SO MUCH ICING!! Can I have some more Cake?!?

    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!!!

    Angel

    I have read Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita by author Saeki-san. Ken, also known as The Next Door Angel, spoils me rotten. The well-groomed tale of the common lad and the beloved Angel girl, as well as the flawless, well-received light novel that has elicited a range of reactions, are what make Hanekoto's illustrations so captivating. All I can say about this is that the anime is carried by everything else except for the production, even if Project No. 9's adaptation here seems to be on the very rough side of things, from cut content to the appalling animation.

    The LN "A Heavenly Encounter!" by Yen Press features a typical, clumsy male MC named Amane Fujimiya who has a failed life with his parents. Nevertheless, Mahiru Shiina, the school's Angel, changes his life. A blossoming friendship between the common person and the Angel takes place in their houses when Shiina, a stunning and untouchable girl, protects the Angel.

    Mahiru Shiina, an Angel, is a stunning, independent woman who meticulously monitors her health. However, Amane, who is deprived of his life's existence, frequently spoils her. Mahiru's relationship with her parents has made her possessive on the inside, despite her attractive exterior. However, because of his awkward relationship with his parents, especially his mother Shihoko, Amane is sensitive and aware of his surroundings. Their relationship is anticipated to develop into a reliance and endearing love kinks as a result of this, making it more of a necessity than a want.

    A side pairing-like classmates Itsuki Akasawa and Chitose Shirakawa, who stand by Amane and Mahiru-is necessary for a relationship to succeed. These pals provide true companionship and support, despite Amane's exclusivity over Mahiru. Because they have a sense of community and are just like ordinary people, they are wholesome and inspiring. Another significant member of the group is Yuuta Kadowaki, a floating friend who is both understanding and of interest.

    Relaxing and chill romance story

    Yeah, yeah, the initial setup is total nonsense, I understand, I agree, boys' wet dream, isn't it. However, when it comes to execution somehow the show finds the way. Because the male lead is not a childish idiot (looking at Kazuha from Rent a Girlfriend), the story is about Mahiru's and Amane's relationship not about a bunch of other characters (Rascal's Bunny Girl Sempai) and both of them are able to lead a proper conversation for more than just a few minutes and one does not wonder why these two are together at all (Horimiya). They even have friends coming over, who are a pair, not a group of other girls, and altogether lots of realistic events happen with them as they slowly but steadily get closer and closer to each other. It's a slice of life anime. (Luckily, there are not too many school scenes and I haven't seen a Student Council President. Chitose and Itsuki are a nice couple with a mature relationship, I was surprised about them.)

    There is a relaxing tranquility coming from this show. The characters are not extreme (okay, Mahiru's character is a bit unrealistic as said in the beginning), maybe they are a little bit dull according to anime standards, but as a result, there is no constant, made up drama, nobody is screaming and whining through episodes, the male lead has a brain and actually uses it, he is capable of making decisons and communicating those straight (whoa! Ok, not with a Hachiman level of vocabulary), or express his emotions in words (double whoa! "Do you wanna me to make a move on you?" That's all folks), nobody, and especially not the girls, is put into humiliating situations, there are no nasty jokes, fan service, nobody is bleeding through their nose.

    Chill, peace and love, a love story in soft water painting. Really likeable if you are not looking for the adrenaline. (Mahiru would look better as a traditional Japanese girl, considering her behavior, just my 5 yens. Makes me remember Aoi from Ai Yori Aoshi... they are a bit flat, true, somehow it didn't make me bored. She turns out to be more than what she shows in the beginning, which makes she cool at the end. I loved her smug face.)

    This is a true romantic stroy I ever seen

    Through this story, it is known that no matter how you look, what kind of person you are, how you think about others, and how many you are and how good your heart is.

    These words have been understood so beautifully that I personally liked them very much. Thank you for such a beautiful story.

    I want more stories like this to come in the future.

    Such stories teach us many things about life.

    Which are very useful in our daily lives.

    Love is a part of life.

    Which is more or less present in everyone.

    But there are many people who cannot express it in front of everyone and some people can Waiting for season 2.
