The Pet Girl of Sakurasou https://myanimelist.net/anime/13759/Sakurasou_no_Pet_na_Kanojo The Sakura Hall is for students that don't really fit in with anyone else. So when Sorata is forced to move in he was prepared for the worst. However, even he would not have guessed that he'd basically be care taker to who is basically a savant loli in Mashiro. On top of that each of the other dorm inhabitants have their own unique side which put them into the dorm as well. The show is part comedy part drama. There is a good balance between the two but they don't really seem to clash with each other. However, as like an overall feel the show is pretty melodramatic and is something that is made to elicit an emotional response from the viewer. It works. The reason it works for me here and not for a show like say, Ano Hana is like the characters in Ano Hana are extremely unlikable and the character paths in Sakurasou so things like clear goals, character growth, strong interaction, and a larger and more reasonable set of emotions. Sakurasou is somewhat similar in concept to Kawai Complex. Conceptually the way the misfit cast fits together and that the main character is predictably "normal" by comparison while not an uncommon set up for anime it's presented as a core concept for both of the shows. One of the huge differences though is that Sakurasou is ultimately more satisfying in their character arcs and ending. The show feels complete. Besides the core set up there are a lot of moving parts to the overall story, like getting Shiro to be more sociable, Sorata needing to do something to feel like he's "an equal" to the rest of the dorm, Nanami trying to find her independence and so on. The character paths they have are generally well done and carry a great deal of emotional weight to them. This show doesn't really do anything poorly and quite honestly at this point of the list it's just a lot of great shows that I would not fault someone for saying its their favorite. This is not quite a must watch, but for any person who has seen a few titles and wants something outside of like a battle shounen or in the vein of bebop this is a reasonable springboard. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:887553579] in Kokoro's t...
