So I finally got caught up on Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo
and I have to say that it really is a light in the dark. It's overall premise
and appeal is a slice of life drama (with some hints of romance) which have a
tendency to be generic and unfulfilling. This show however has not once caused
me to feel bored, lost, or feel any negative emotions. This show keeps
exploring into the mysterious character Mashiro as well as helping Sorata find
out what he really wants to do in life. I mentioned in a post last year that
Sorata is much like myself in high school; I didn’t have a clue what I wanted
to do in life until I started working hard towards one goal. Now that episode
sixteen has concluded, he is very close to achieving his first step towards his
goal. Now other than Sorata’s goals we have the love triangle between Sorata,
Mashiro, and the oh too cute Nanami. It’s honestly too hard to choose who I
would want Sorata to end up with because both Mashiro and Nanami have
overwhelmingly great personalities. Nanami is a very hard worker that has had
feelings for Sorata since some predetermined time. Then we have Mashiro who is
well “special” (she cannot even take a shower like a normal person). She does
however have the same hard working attitude that Nanami has as well as her own
unique charm. She also plays the “I need you more” card since Sorata is pretty
much the only way she is remotely normal. The scenes between these three start
to get real interesting after episode fourteen when it is revealed to all
parties that they all have feelings for Sorata. The good thing about this issue
is that unlike in other anime, this whole love thing doesn’t feel forced or awkward.
I genuinely like both female leads and I will be happy with whoever (or no one)
Sorata ends up with. Assuming that this is going to be a twenty four episode
anime, there is just enough time left to introduce another roadblock plot
device and to resolve who gets the main character so I am very much looking
forward to the coming episodes. This anime is very enjoyable and relaxing to
watch so if you have not picked it up yet you can watch all the episodes so far
on Crunchyroll.com. It’s really , really , really good so go watch it now!
