I can't remember the
last time I watched Kimi ni Todoke. prior
to this re-watch I just did last night. I can't even remember clearly how the
ending of S2 went. What I do remember is that it's mostly drama and
misunderstanding and Miyano
Mamoru voicing Miura Kento. LOL.
This is my first
time re-watching this series and it's all because of Sukitte Ii na yo.. Throughout watching this
episode, it makes me feel as if it's my first time watch it. I enjoyed every
bit of it. Also I actually remembered everything that's going to happen in here
because I've seen the live drama months ago. I really like Kuronuma Sawako's (Noto Mamiko) character
- how she tries to approach people when they drop something, how she wanted to
do things the class doesn't want to do, how she wants to live up to their
expectations of her knowing ghost stories and such. As for Kazehaya Shouta (Namikawa Daisuke),
I like how he tries to approach Sawako, how he looks cute in being shy in front
of her and how he admits that Sawako doesn't understand him.
I remember someone
telling me that Kazehaya is actually the 'girly' type of guy. Of course as
someone who likes him (and likes the romance between Kazehaya and Sawako), I
didn't immediately accept the idea. I thought about it a little. Watching this
episode, I somehow understood what he meant. The scene where Kazehaya and
Sawako talked right after Sawako was going on how Kazehaya was 100% Cool (LOL)
gave me the notion. Seeing Kazehaya blush in front of Sawako and not even look
at her was pretty funny (in a good way) and seeing how Sawako was mostly the
one complementing him could probably be a part of that. It's like they've
switched roles in terms of being shoujo series. LOL. But hey, that's what's
unique about their relationship. I actually like them like that :3 I actually
like how Kazehaya's being shy and sometimes awkward around Sawako. I also like
how Sawako never notices Kazehaya's feelings forw her because of her lack of
social interaction.
This episode
reminded me that Kazehaya actually liked Sawako right from the beginning. He
liked her ever since the day she gave him directions :D Sawako, on the other
hand, only admired Kazehaya's character - his coolness and popularity.
The art is very
beautiful. The art style and character designs of Kimi ni Todoke
done by Production I.G. is really inviting. Comparing it to other shoujo series
I've seen, it's definitely different. The art and coloring style reminds me of Usagi Drop which was done by the same production company. The
music is really great and I was just able to appreciate it now. I really just
don't care about stuff like that when I first watched this series which was
like more than 2years ago.
Anyway, after going
over this episode, I would like to give time and re-watch this series. I'll
think about blogging my thoughts as I re-watch this series but not on a weekly
or episodic basis. After watching this episode, it just made me like it even more.
This is definitely my fave shoujo-romance yet. And no, I don't think any shoujo
series right now can over take this one for me~
~and no, this is not
a review. This is just me talking about one of my fave series :D
